Changing The World
Headed down the road of life we find many reasons to be both elated and at times, dissatisfied. If we will take the time to consider our situation in light of our reference to our Father, things take on a somewhat different appearance. By that I mean, instead of existing as absolutes to which our response is automatically how we must adjust ourselves and our lives, we stop to consider our response. If we accept what we see and hear, our response is in one direction. If we decide that what we see and hear does not match the words our Father has spoken to us and others, then we would respond another way. His words always come 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.
When we are willing to hear our Father, we find that He wants to help us. We can ask for wisdom in each situation and He will provide it.
James 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
It is a bit odd these days. More often than not when a situation presents itself, I find myself considering how what I am facing fits in with my Father’s plans. While that sounds good, for me it is a challenge. At times, my flesh seems to want to go down a negative road. It’s almost as if that reaction is built in. However, not only is it really a choice, lately I am seeing that it is a choice. It’s like focusing on the things of our Father has put in this place where I can stop and think about being either negative or positive as a conscious choice, and not some conditioned response that has no connection with reality. Moses, Paul, Yeshuah (Jesus) – they all said the same thing. Choose life, be like Yahuah (Lord) and forgive, believe what you say out of your mouth, and say what aligns with what God has said.
Deuteronomy 30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
16 In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
It’s about choosing to change the world rightly.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. Let Your will be done here. Send us now while it is called today Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. Apply Your healing oil to our hearts and minds. Heal up our physical bodies. Deliver us from evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and more besides. Let Your blessings that You have spoken through Your prophets and others now appear in our lives, for Your words do not go void. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that Your kingdom would go forth. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah! Amen.
