When We Are Sick

It has been a challenging week or so. I was very sick on many days. To my loyal readers, I apologize for not having something here for you more regularly. Here is a good scripture to remember.

John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. We love and appreciate You and Your kingdom. We praise the name Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts. deliver us from the evil that is around us. Come quickly to our aid. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

The Many Moments

We have been given lives to lead, each different from the other. If we are not careful, we can find ourselves wishing our life was more like someone else’s life. We should not allow ourselves to do this. We each have a mission and a calling. Only we can fulfill the particular mission and calling we have been give. We can be thankful that our Father loves us each enough to care for each one of us, even that we have all we need.

Luke 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Today, let us be thankful that we have our Father to watch over us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts from the sadness. Deliver us from the thief that steals and restore one hundred times one hundredfold, and hundreds of hundreds. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

When Seeing Is Difficult

Today in north central Indiana we had a blizzard. As is normal in these weather conditions, there were times when I was driving that the blowing snow created a “white out” where nothing could be seen. In these times one has to slow down and really focus on the tasks at hand. The same is true in our spriritual travels. As we walk with God, there can be times when it becomes difficult to see. In those times we must overcome the desire to stop and turn back. We must press in to being what we are called to be.

Proverbs 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Our Father’s words are what we need to help us see.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. We praise the name Yahuah! Send us Your overwhelming provision now. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us from the thief. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Reaching For The Stars

When I was a child growing up, a common phrase was “reaching for the stars.” it was used to express the idea that we should dream big, and try to reach those dreams. Growing older, many of us lost track of those early dreams. Life and its clutter got in the way. The end result for many is we stopped dreaming. But we should not. I do suggest that our dreams should align with scripture. Scripture is clear that our Father blesses us for a purpose. That purpose is to advance the kingdom.

Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Today, let us revive and realign our dreams, that Yahuah might establish His covenant.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. Bless the name Yahuah! Send us today your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us. Deliver us from the evil that steals, and lift us up to sit in the gates. Show us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone have done this. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Needed Rest

this Sabbath was a day of needed rest for me. I had been sick for several days and either sat or slept the whole day. But the Sabbath is always a good day to rest. Sometimes needed more than others, I believe.

Psalms 92
A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.
1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You reign as our King. We praise the name Yahuah. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive our sins. Heal our hearts. Deliver us from the thief that has stolen so much. restore to us one hundred times one hundredfold, and hundreds of hundreds. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Broken Arrow

Tonight I watched a movie about Hal Moore, a great warrior for America. When his troops were overrun, he called, “Broken arrow!” This resulted in every avaialable war aircraft to come to their aid. I believe today in America we have been overrun, and yet are unaware.

We have been overrun by the politicians, taking their polls. And the bankers, bleeding out the very life of those that trust in them. Do they do this willingly? Likely not. Never the less, there is one, our enemy, that is taking advantage of this very condition. It is time for the spoiritual warriors of this nation to rise up. It is time for the call, “Broken Arrow!” Rise up men and women of God! Rise up to defend in spiritual battle those that are enslaved. For we have someone to call upon to help us.

Isaiah 9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

Let us rise up to call upon Yahuah!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. We praise the name Yahuah! Send us Your overwhelming provision such that we cannot hold it all today. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us from the thief. We ask all these things int he name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

We Remain…

Today as I looked into the bright whiteness of my back yard, I thought about how we all will be remembered by others when they think of us. Often I have heard people, in speaking about others, describe them by a trait. As I thought about this, I thought how the phrase often goes, “S/He is always…” There is one great trait that I hope people would say about me. Joshua said it for he and his family.

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

May it be said of me, may it be said of us all, we remain servants of Yahuah the Most High.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. You alone are our King. We praise the name Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us from the inside out. Deliver us from the the thief, and restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Fighting Under Pressure

We all fight our enemy as believers. We fight when we are aware of fighting. We fight when we are unaware that we are fighting. But we all fight. We know this because our enemy has one mission – our destruction in an attempt to destroy the kingdom. There are time when we fight even under extreme pressure. Illnesses of various types can be one of those tough times. Perhaps the very extreme illnesses are easier to take on the fight, because we know we must. But the nagging flu or cold can also put extra pressure on us. In these times (I am ill today myself) we can be encouraged to fight on by scripture.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:…

This is what our enemy ALWAYS is up to doing. But there is the other half of the verse.

John 10:10… I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

We must fight on, regardless of the pressure. To God be the glory!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming abundant provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts and minds to serve You. Deliver us from the thief that steals our hope, our dreams, our desire for Your Torah, and our goods. Restore ALL of these one hundred times one hundredfold, and hundreds of hundreds. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
