The Fight Begins In Your Head

No matter how many times I consider the power of the mind in the outcomes of our life, I continue to have to return to the topic for myself. I have to remind myself daily that the battle begins in my head. The negativity that surrounds most of us wants to creep in and take hold. When I feed my mind good things, life seems better. Interestingly enough, as my life view improves mentally, it tends to show up in my real world. This concept is supported throughout the scriptures. God considered the world before He created it. Perhaps the most well known scripture in this regard is from the Proverbs.

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…

If these things are true, clearly we need to control our thinking processes, right? We are saying that what is in our head becomes our reality in some manner. Therefore, perhaps the most important battle for any of us is the one in our head to fight for good thoughts that result in a good life.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Bless the name Yahuah! Let the will that You exert in the heavens be exerted here as well. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the thief that steals and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. Make manifest in Your people today the power to get wealth that the covenant might be established. Your people need a manifestation of that wealth today Father. Let it manifest today. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Keep Laying Stone

Yesterday had a certain number of challenges for me. We had issues arise with our number one vehicle that we were not really planning to have happen. Suddenly, I was stranded in the middle of rush our traffic. But our Father sent two police officers and some others to help. The next thing I know, I am safely to the side of the road. As a result of the instance, I was able to reach our to two people. This is an example of how we must continue to face what comes our way with the mission in mind of serving our Father.

1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Today, let us remember to do the work of our Father in the face of all trials.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Let us experience Your will here just as it is in the heavens. Send us today your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the thief that kills and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. Help Your people suddenly obtain wealth to promote Your kingdom. We ask all of these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Keep It Going

Great news! This just in! Though we are still fighting now, we have already won! Wouldn’t it be strange to see the headline pronouncing victory for our soldiers as if the war was already over, yet they are still in the battle? Yet, it is this unique position we as believers find ourselves in as it relates to our walk with our Father. We are in the battle daily, but He has already declared us the winners.

Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

He has declared us His people, winners of the battle over evil, from the beginning.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Let Your kingdom be with us. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us, and deliver us from the thief. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. Bring wealth to Your people suddenly, that they might promote Your kingdom throughout the earth. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Keeping The Comfort Going

This morning when waking up it occurred to me that there is one way to keep a feeling of comfort going from God. We feel the greatest comfort when we feel His presence around us. If we keep His presence around us, we will be comforted. The question is, how do we keep His presence around us. One thing we can do is speak His commands, and praise Him.

Psalms 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

The word for “inhabit” here in the Hebrew literally means “seated upon,” so we can say Yahuah will come and sit in the presence of our praises. We also know from Yeshuah that when we come together in His name, He is with us.

Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Finally, there is an importance to speaking, even if we are alone. We need to speak what is true. We need to speak the scriptures over our lives and the lives of others. Yahuah has said He will not let His word go void but will make certain that it brings to pass whatever He sends it to do.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

We can keep the comfort and the truth going forward!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! We long for Your kingdom among us. Send us Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our minds and our hearts. Deliver us from the thief that destroys. Raise up Your people, and bring them great wealth that they might advance Your commandments, Yahuah. Restore one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back from Your people. Have the unbelievers pour out great blessings on Your people as in the Exodus. Show Your people a sign for good that all men might know that You alone have done this. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Resting On The Sabbath

I decided to keep today very simple. Yahuah is very good to us. He has done so many positive things for us. The Sabbath is a good day tro esta, nd a good day to meditate on Him and His commands.

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Let’s focus our hearts on Him.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Bless the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom reign. Send us today YOur overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts. Deliver us from the evil that steals and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken from them. Take from the ungodly and give to Your people in abundance this week. Make it like the Exodus from Egypt. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Every Day Is A Winning Opportunity

We were meant to win. Some people agree with this. Others have concern for such statements. Today, as I consider this idea. I am reminded of the many scriptures that speak to us of hope and victory. These same scriptures seem to indicate we are meant to find our way to victory through our Father.

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Reading this scripture I am reminded of how many of us don’t quite get to the day and night part. We may focus on our Father at one or more times during the day, but not day and night. Today, this had been a revelation for me. I will begin to focus on His Law day and night.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let us experience Your kingdom here. Send us now Your overwhelming abundant provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken, and even more than was ever possessed by Your people. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

A Simple Thank You

Sometimes the least amount of grandeur, the least amount of pomp amd fluff, is the best. It turns out this can be exceptionally true of extending our gratitude to someone. “Thank you,” though only a two word phrase, can carry with it a mission of hope and peace. With a simple subtlety we can make those that have done something infinitesimally small in their own eyes into the grandest of gestures. And all with a simple, “Thank you.” So what am I trying to say here?

Not only do words matter, a “Thank you” may well matter than most words.

Psalms 136:1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.
3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.
6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.
7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:
8 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:
9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.
10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:
11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:
12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Let us be thankful!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let You kingdom be with us. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Heal us and deliver us from the thief. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

We Fight For Right

Each day is built upon the past. Yet each day is also new. It is true that we need to make every day count. Being human, some of those days will not count for as much as we would like. But we cannot change the past, we can only change the future. We do that by addressing the present and preparing. We both fight and prepare to fight for what’s right.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

We are fighting a spiritual battle that we can win. But we only win if we have our Father with us. He does not fight on our side, rather, we fight on His side. We are in His service and His army. If we stay in His ways, we win.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. We praise and bless the name Yahuah. Let Your kingdom be with us. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil that kills and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Speaking Good

At a glance the grammar in the title today looks a bit off. Actually, it is right on track. It is not the quality of the speaking that is being addressed, but rather the content. We have great power in what we say.

Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

This is a powerful statement from our Messiah about not just our prayer life, but also our speaking words backed up by believing. Unfortunately for us as humans, it seems that we often become focused on the negative side of life. By focus I mean we will move to believing the negative, both more often and more strongly. This is what happened to the children of Israel in the wilderness. They believed Yahuah (Lord) was there, but they thought He was out to kill them. Somehow that is programmed into us, probably as the result of Eve believing the serpent in the garden. So the question becomes, how do we overcome that bent towards the negative.

Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

This same power of belief can be built within us by taking hold of what we speak and speaking good to ourselves!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom be with us. Send us now Your overwhelming abundant provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil that steals and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Gotta Have Heart

Champions never give up. Even when the going gets really tough, they find a way to just grind it out. We can be like that too. All we need to do is resolve to not give up. It takes courage, because it means we have to face our fears head on. But we can do that.

Psalms 3:3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

Today, let us rejoice in our Father’s love!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom be here with us. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Heal us and deliver us. restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask all these things in the nam eof our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
