Things Develop

We have a certain way that we hope our lives turn out. Often, things turn out differently. It is not that we do not have the ability to see these possibilities. It is just that we have different ones in mind. It is these times that our Father steps forward and makes changes. He is trying to mold us and make us into the more perfect likeness of Him that we are meant to become. We struggle because we become impatient. But as a loving Father, it is He, not us, that perfects His work in us.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

So how then is this message and different than the many other times people have said it. Perhaps that is the real point hear. Things develop over time in our lives. There comes that perfect “Ah – ha!” moment and we get it. This is meant certainly for me today, I believe there will be others that this snaps into place for in a special way today.

Glory to God!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Bless the name Yahuah! Send today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts. Deliver us from the thief that steals and restore one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken from Your people. Let the restoration begin in a mighty way this week, like a mighty rushing wind, like an outpouring of abundant reign! We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

If We Stay The Course

Life has many uncertainties. It could be finances or education, or even where we live. But there is one thing certain. God has His plan and His way, and it never fails. Our task is to stay on plan and on His way.

Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Let’s all stay the course, and pray daily for one another that we can.

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

A Day Of Love

Here in the US today we celebrate Valentine’s Day. Over the years I have read many “historical accounts” about where this day originated and what we celebrate. I do not know the answer. What I do know is it is good for people to stop and think about love. And not just any love, but real, true, love.

John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Hopefully today we can walk out this true love.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. We praise Your name, Yahuah. Praise Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming provision such that we cannot contain it all. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts. Deliver us from the evil that steals from us, and restore one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Blessings Of Peace

Today on the Sabbath, I want to find peace. It can be so challenging in a world that everyday makes so many demands on us. But we can do it if we try. We can set aside that which is in our head and look for peace.

Numbers 6:22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

Shalom.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. We long for the world here to be like Your kingdom there. We love you. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our minds. Deliver us from darkness and from the thief that steals from us. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold, and hundreds of hundreds, all that has been taken. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Working Ahead

Teachers see this all the time. Most students will do the work to stay on track. Some will fall behind. And then their will be the ultra hungry ones that will do more than required – they will work ahead. Just like in the school classroom, there is a classroom for life. Our Father teaches us many things. Most will move through life and stay on track, generally. Some will fall behind. And there will be a few ultra-hungry ones that will work ahead.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Throughout our lives, chances are we will be each one of these students of our Father at one time or another. This may sound like we have no hope. On the contrary, we have a very great hope.

Philippians 1:2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We praise the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us. Deliver us from the thief, and restore to Your people one hundred times one hundred fold that which has been taken. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Early Morning Gratitude

For some reason, this morning seemed to come earlier than most. Perhaps it was the limited amount of sleep I was able to get. Perhaps it was associated with my trepidation about getting out in the cold and snow to drive to teach. But as I headed out for my hour-ish long drive, I had to think of how thankful I am that our Father cares for us every single day. I found myself making a joyful noise to Him, and it made me happy.

Psalms 146:1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.
2 While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:

Today, I will sing to Yahuah!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Heal our hearts. Deliver us from the thief. Restore one hundred times one hundred fold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Line Upon Line

When we battle our enemy, we sometimes have grand victories. Mostly, we will build little by little. This is the way of the walk with our God. He teaches us to win, a little at a time. This is the pattern that has been established from long ago.

Isaiah 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

We can learn, a little along, from the small victories. From this we learn to be the warriors we were always meant to be.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. You are our Deliverer. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Heal us up that we might serve You. Deliver us from the evil that has stolen and continues to steal from Your people. Restore one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Build From The Inside

We are called as believers to build ourselves and each other up. The most important building we do is from the inside.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

If we build up our minds first, then we can build the rest. Everything begins first in our minds. Today, let’s renew our minds!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. Hail to the King! Bless the name of Yahuah. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Heal us and deliver us. In Yeshuah’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.

Never Stop Running

Of late it has seemed like many I know, including myself, have to run hard just to get behind. At times, that just becomes our reality. We have to run as hard as we can to not get too much further behind. In the face of such times it can be tempting to just slow down, relax, and maybe even stop to rest for a while. After all, we are not catching up, right?

Actually, that is not only not right, it is like running in the wrong direction. We will finish and win, if we just keep running.

1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

Paul knew that he would win if he just ran to the end. We can as well. Let’s RUN!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Bless the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts and minds. Let them be places filled with Your Law and Your ways. Deliver us from the thief that has stolen from us. Restore one hundred times one hundredfold to Your people. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Play Your Game

It is easy in life to see the accomplishments of others and want to achieve similar results. We may even try to emulate them to the point of being a carbon copy. The trouble is, each of us is unique. We cannot be someone else. God saved us individually to serve Him. We are not the same.

1 Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

When we are trying to carry on in our faith, Let us each one be the individual that our Messiah called.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We need You in our lives. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. We ask that you heal us and deliver us. In the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
