Yom Shlishi, Av 3, 6003 – July 17, 2018
A Good Day For Unity
When we all work together, we get just a little closer. A little closer to what? We get a little closer to the original design that our Father had for this world. He said this through David in a psalm.
Psalms 133 A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
Our Messiah spoke of this as well. Love and joy are tied together, just as being together with our Father is tied to keeping His commandments.
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.
If we think of the “commandments” as a declaration of blessing, it is much easier to understand why our Father has made them for us. He established a path to Him and to perfect peace in the form of blessing. If we walk in the blessings, life is good! We are to show His love to people that they might “see” the Father.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts of mankind, changing their minds and actions. Let Your will be done here perfectly, as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision as only You can do. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe awway 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 loving arms holding us. Deliver us from the evil here that would cause us to turn from You, cause us to turn on one another. Send us Your love that it might show forth from us to those around us. Restore Your people to You today, Father. Restore that spark in their heart that knows You. Raise them up. Restore unto Your people all that the worm has eaten. Restore one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and the minds of mankind here. Only You can do these things, Father. There are so many hungry, so many in need of shelter. Please help us to help each other. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah YAH Yeshuah (Lord Jesus Christ), and we ask these things of You. We love You. Please help us. Amen.
