Yom Rishon, Shevat 6, 6003 – January 13, 2019
Welcoming The Spirit
In many services across the country this morning the idea will be put forward of welcoming the Spirit into the place of worship. Perhaps yet another approach would be welcoming the spirit into the place we are at all times. For example, this morning I sit at my kitchen table and look out into the snow covered forest. I want to be committed to change in my life, to become the best I can be for my Father and His work. Based on scripture I believe The Holy Spirit is in me having received the Messiah Yeshuah and his death and resurrection as redemption and then the immersion of the Holy Spirit.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
What can be good for me to help make that change or those changes happen more quickly is to have a welcoming attitude toward our Father YAH and toward the Holy Spirit, wanting to change. It is not easy for me, and I suggest not easy for many. And yet, we know from scripture that we are on this journey towards the Father, every moment changing to be more like Him.
Prayer
Father we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come in the hearts and minds and bodies of Your people, which is Your will in this earth. Send us Your provision. Deliver us from the evil here. 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 the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. You alone are King. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way of that which is good, one thousandfold and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah HaMoshiak. We ask these things of You, Father, our King. Amen. Amen. A-men.
