Remembering Why
This morning as I sit at my kitchen window I look out at grass green from overnight rain. As I think about this life we lead, and that we are in yet another Sabbath where we get to rest with our heavenly Father, I think of another overnight reign that changed history forever. When Yahuah (Lord) freed the children of Israel, delivering them with a strong hand and outstretched arm, smiting all of the firstborn AND the gods of Egypt in one night, He set the example that would stand forever to those that believe. When He did it a second time, sending our Messiah Yeshuah to die on the cross for us, we could now see that our Father was always planning to spend eternity with us. He was always planning to defeat the evil one and all of the false gods and dark spirits that try to steal from His people. And He will always bring His plan and His words to pass.
Isaiah 55:8 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.
Today as I was considering our rest with Yahuah on the Sabbath, I realized how many things He has shown me and continues to show me, when I am open to listening to Him. One of those things I have learned is that He has given us the power over our own mind to dispel evil thoughts and think on Him alone and on His ways. Formerlly I thought we just had to put up with “the buzz” that entered our brain with distractions, condemnations, fear, and more. Not so. Our Father did not call us because we were perfect. He called us to help us, that we might follow Him, that He might deliver us from such things. When I remember this, I realize that there has always been a way to win in our heads and in our lives. It begins with calling out to Yahuah for His help. David knew this to be true.
Psalms 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
A Vision
In the middle of the night I was awakened. After praying and battling the enemy for a time, I was given a vision. I saw what was today’s “world”, today’s “society”, in a full color movie. It was not a specific location. Then there was a violent back and forth horizontal movement, as if the movie was being shaken back and forth. Nothing in the movie responded. But when the shaking stopped, the movie instantly when to black and white and the content seemed to be the same “place” only it was like the 1930’s or 1940’s or 1950’s. It was as if society was turned back in time. When I asked Yahuah what this meant, He said He was going to shake the world and the result set the comforts of society back in time. Then he gave me the scripture Isaiah 60. To Yahuah be all the glory and power forever and ever, amen!
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We long for You to come in Your power and reign from Jerusalem! Praise the name Yahuah! Send us today that miracle we need, that provision in a day, that resets our ability to make Your truth known through our lives lived here. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts and minds Father. Lead us in the way everlasting. Destroy the works of the evil ones that would steal from Your people all that You have provided. Rise up, O King! Come to our aid today, for we are the weak humans that You created, and we can only survive through Your grace and mercy. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yehsuah (Jesus). Amen.
