Psalm 118

Deuteronomy 12:2-3 " Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: And ye shall overthrow their alters, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire, and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place."

Patriotism has it's place. But any so called patriotism which does not include devotion to our Heavenly Father Yahweh, is a dead end. Without the Blood of the Lamb, without the Word and the Law of Yahweh, the One True God, patriotism becomes a false religion in and of itself. Of what value is a nation that does not exhalt the Creator? How great can a government be that casts off the glory of Divine Law, to enact godless laws which only lead the people further into oblivion? What good is a race of men, if that race chases after demonic false gods and satanic superstition, abandoning the Father which chose them?

Patriotism should be more than allegiance to a country. It should be allegiance to the One True God that brought forth that country; and if that country has fallen into darkness and sin, then the true patriots would be those who cried out against that country's sins and warned that country of the wrath that would soon descend upon it.

In the absence of righteousness, let our patriotism be to a Kingdom soon to come, at the arrival of Yahoshua the Messiah.

Dear Heavenly Father Yahweh, Blessed is your Holy Name.

If there is anything in my life, my possessions that offends You, open my eyes to it. Help me to clear the cobwebs from my mind and my heart, and remove the veil from Your servants eyes. Make me a good patriot and steward of Your word. Keep the darkness at bay and help me to shine with Your Glory and to truly minister to Your people in Your Holy Name... Thank you Father, Yahweh for your guidance and mercies.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 70

Deuteronomy 12:2-3 " Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: And ye shall overthrow their alters, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire, and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place."

There is a great deal of "God bless America " these days, especially during this time of year. But how can anyone look to the Word of Yahweh and dare to think this nation, or any of the backslidden nations of Jacob Israel, could possibly be blessed?

America was truly blessed at it's founding, because the bulk of it's people were God fearing. While they certainly may not have understood all the counsel of scripture, what they did understand, they lived, and we were blessed. But even as the armies of the United States won their final victories, sin began to take root.

Unitarians, masons, and deists assembled, urged on by the heresies of "higher criticisim" and the enlightenment. The Puritan fires were dying and the churches and ministries of America began to be engulfed little by little by a darkness of mind and soul that had no name.

Now we look across our land, and every abomination imaginable has taken firm root and grows. Darkness covers the land. Those who would cry out against the blasphemies daily practiced in this country are now considered "domestic terrorists", and preaching the word of Yahweh God is now a "hate crime". The polluted assemblies of churchianity are at the forefront of our enemies, and in the disguises of christianity and unity, multitudes are rushing gleefully into the abyss.

"God bless America." How can Yahweh bless that which curses Him?

Heavenly Father Yahweh

Take pity upon Your holy remnant, dwelling in wicked lands. Look upon those trying to come out from among them, and let Your blessing be poured out upon us.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 13

Deuteronomy 12:2-3 " " Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: And ye shall overthrow their alters, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire, and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place."

Make no mistake, " religious freedom" is a concept of man, not Yahweh God. While those who framed our constutution intended religious freedom to be a safeguard against any repeat of the persecutions of the past, namely by Rome and the church of England, it has only inspired the establishment of every heathen blasphemy and satanic invention upon the shores of "blessed America."

At the coming of the King, Yahweh/Yahoshua, all those blasphemers, all these abominations, and all who practice them, will be destroyed. In the coming Kingdom of Yahweh, there will be no "religious freedom." There will be One God, and He alone will be worshiped in all the earth. There will be One Law, and it alone shall govern all things.

To those lost in the darkness of demonic worship and satanic superstitions, the cry still goes forth. "Repent and be healed, Forsake your vain idols and grab hold of the One True God, Yahweh. " But this nation and all the scattered nations of Jacob Israel can not be blessed as long as they are a refuge and a sanctuary for all the abominations of the heathen. As long as there are buddist and hindus chanting, as long as the Messiah hating doctrines of Judaism are promoted, as long as a "Queen of heaven" is worshiped, as long as all the multitude of cults and doctrines of devils are free and are promoted on our shores, Yahweh God will not bless this or any other nation.

O, Christian, look to thy life and thy house and purge it of anything that would separate you from the One True God.

Heavenly Father Yahweh, thank You for Your mercies on those who seek Your face.

We live in a troubled time; Satan has increased his mischief and the darkness thickens and the temptations increase every day. Protect us Yahweh/Yahshua from the ever growing darkness. Forgive our sins and let your light shine within our hearts and grant us the discernment to divide the light of truth from the decietful darkness. You are our Rock and our refuge, above You there is no other. Praise Your Holy Name.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 124

Jeremiah 1:4 " then the word of the Lord come unto me saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee... "

Shall Yahweh bless this nation? One of the signs of the depths to which we have fallen is the fact that there is even a debate over the issue of abortion. The killing of the unborn has been made a law, and even many that claim to be " born again" christians defend the so called "woman's right" to do whatever she chooses with the life within her. Thus millions of children are slain in a massacre that puts the killing of the Hebrew chidlren in Egypt, and Herod's murder of the children in Bethlehem to shame.

Their blood cries out unto Yahweh, and they shall be avenged. Yahweh drowned the army of Pharoah, even as the Hebrew children were drowned. The Roman general Titus slew a million jews seventy years after the massacre of the children two years old and younger. Yahweh is not mocked, and He has a day of reckoning appointed. He will not concern Himself with a "woman's right" or any one else's supposed rights. He will be the sole and righteous judge on that day.

Luke 1:41 "And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutaions of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb... " Yes, the murderers and all that have defended the right to murder shall behold the wrath of the Avenger of Blood, even the wrath of the Lamb...

Shall Yahweh bless this nation?

Blessed Father Yahweh

Help us to keep up Your holy standard, even in the midst of such utter darkness, that we might be lights, ever shining unto You.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 141

Isaiah 1:4 " Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniqity, a seed of evil doers, children that are corrupters : they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward."

It was not to a foreign land that Isaiah preached, but unto Judah, a people chosen of Yahweh. But now they were a sinful, rebellious house. Demonic worship of false gods filled the land. Innocent blood filled the streets. Lawlessness covered the land in darkness. They were a people who observed many of the outward forms of the worship of Yahweh, but they had mixed that worship with other gods. Baal, Molech, Chemosh and the queen of heaven where just a few of the Satanic deities that now mingled in the land of Yahweh's chosen.

: 7 " Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; your land strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers."

"Strangers" play a significant role in Yahweh's judgement on His Israel people. Deuteronomy 28:43, " The stranger that is whithin thee shall get up above thee very high, and thou shall come down very low... he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. " The fact that there are "strangers within thee" shows that Israel has already departed from the law of Yahweh, for Israel is called to be separate. Our mingling with strangers becomes the very thing that brings us down.

When we fail to seperate the light from the darkness, as Yahweh's word commands, we eventually end up as slaves in our own land.

Yahweh/Yahshua, You are Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and we give You thanks and praise.

Dear Heavenly Father Yahweh, we prostrate ourselves and lay our lives before You. We can do nothing without Your guidance and Your Holy word. Lead us not into the temptations of this world but shine Your light of Truth on this country, on Your people. Lead us on the path of righteousness to do Your will and not our own.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 73

Nehemiah 5:7 " Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them... :10... I pray you, let us leave off this usury."

The word of Yahweh equates the practice of usury, or charging interest on a loan, with slavery. It is evident throughout scripture that our Heavenly Father would not have us to becme entangled with this trap and snare.

Psalms 15:1 " Lord , who shall abide in the tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?... " :5 " He that putteth not out his money to usury..."

Yet in casting out Yahweh's law, churchianity imagines itself free, never realizing until it is too late, how bound with chains it truly is. Too proud to have assemblies in homes or more humble places, churches go into great debt, and become slaves to banks and fianancial institutions. Churches now even have official church credit cards. The people of our land, blinded by greed and materialism, borrow themselves into oblivion, piling up a debt that they can never repay.

And why not? America and all the other nations of Jacob Israel, have become 'great' sanctuaries of debt. Our governments show no restraint, exercise no judgement, until we are quite literally owned by foreigners and strangers. How have we come to such a place? We have cast aside the wisdom of Yahweh's laws and are become slaves to the world.

Proverbs 28:9 " He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. "

Shalt Yahweh God bless this nation?

Precious Father Yahweh

You see the times in which we live, and how hard it has become to accomplish many things without becoming entangled with the institutions of this world. Open our eyes to see how we can uphold Your word and Your standards in the midst of all this, Father.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 14

Jeremiah 5:7 " How shall I pardon thee for this? Thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlot's house. They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighber's wife. Shall I not visit for these things? Saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"

Lust has so taken root in the heart of America, as well as the other nations of Jacob Israel, that it seems there is no limit to the wickedness that we will indulge in. It is everywhere we look. Books, magazines, movies, television, commercials, billboards: the message is clear - sex sells!

Pornography is considered a worthwhile proffession, and is protected by our godless laws. Millions have become addicted, never realizing that they have been ensnared by a practice of the worship of Baal. In the temples of Baal, pornographic images were hung to increase the frenzied lust of the orgies held in Baal and Astoreth's honor. We have become a nation obsessed with sex and perversion.

Marriage no longer holds any virtue. but is viewed as a temporary state between lovers. When once the lust has died, they cast off their mates in search of something fresher and more exciting. The actual union of marriage no longer means anything, as most choose to simply "hook-up", then they can more easily move on to the next adventure. Children born to these "parents" grow up even more lost and depraved, not knowing the stability or morality of a true family.

Our fashions of dress have become so lustful, that in order to find truly modest clothing, God fearing women are forced to learn to make their own. There simple are no godly choices in the common market place as everything, even children's cloths are designed to be sensual, immodest and lust provoking.

Even in the churches, there is no modesty, no fear of angering the Ever Living God. Lust has consumed America, and she will not repent. The daughters of America flaunt themselves as harlots. The sons of America have become whore mongers and predators.

Shall Yahweh bless this Nation?

Blessed be Your Holy Name Yahweh/Yahshua.

Father Yahweh, please, do not turn Your face from me, I need your guidance and wisdom. Place a hedge of Angels round about my family and myself to protect us from the lusts and evils of this earth. I ask for the continued strength, courage and wisdom to turn from the sins of this world and walk in Your way, Yahweh/Yahshua. Only with Your help, guidance, mercy and strength can I resist the devil and follow You. We have a history of being a sad, stiffnecked people, yet You are ever there to lift us up when we stumble and fall. Your forgiveness and mercy is the only thing that can save a wretched, sinful people such as this nation has birthed. Heal Your people Yahweh, for You are the One True Living God of Heaven and earth, I praise Your Holy Name.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 125

Jeremiah 37:2 " ... But neither he (Zedekiah), nor his servents, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the Lord, which He spoke by the prophet Jeremiah..."

38:4 " Therefore the princes said unto the king, we beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people , in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt."

People always think that they want to hear from the Ever Living God, but what they are truly looking for is simply confirmation to walk in their own ways. A soothing word, an encouragement from on High, an exhortation: all these can be found in the Holy Spirit of Yahweh - if you are walking in obediance. Unfortunately most people want to be told that they are right, even when they are wrong.

The kingdom of Judah had become even more wicked than the kingdom of Israel, which had been completely carried away one hundered years earlier. In fact, even the appearance of a few good kings could not undo the evil that had been done. Yahweh had pronounced His Judgement. A day was set, a day of reckoning that could not be avoided, and in Jeremiah's day, that day had arrived.

Jeremiah obeyed his calling completely. His message of repentance was not easy on the Judahites ears. Their repentance would involve accepting their punishment. But like most people, they did not want to accept their punishment. They wanted to be forgiven and then put the whole ugly mess behind them. But it was not to be. Their punishment only grew worse as they rebelled.

Amidst all the false prophets seeking to take the sting out of Judah's judgement there were many soothing and encouraging words. But the one voice that could have actually helped them, they soundly rejected. Jeremiah's voice was a harsh rebuke to their sins even as he offered mercy and grace to those that might repent. Jeremiah did not tell them what they wanted to hear, but what they needed to hear. As such, the message of Jeremiah was the only message that actually agreed with the "law and the prophets."

You will hear many "voices" in these last days, some absolutely brilliant in their subtlety. But only the voice of Yahweh will lead you to the word of Yahweh. And yes, He may rebuke our sins, but He always shows us the reward of obediance along with the sting of rebellion.

Heavenly Father Yahweh, Praise your Holy Name.

Father we ask you to open our eyes that we may see and open our ears that we may hear.

HalleluYah!

Jeremiah 37:15 "Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison. "

We should never underestimate the hatred which people (even Israelites) can have for the word of Yahweh. You can see it, even in our own day. The Ten commandments clearly states " Thou shalt...", but men love their traditions and superstitions more than the word of the Living God. When we are commanded, "Thou shalt not...", then scripture is twisted or utterly disregarded that the abomination might be accepted without fear of being offended.

The man that would make "Repent" his message for the hour must pledge his head to heaven, for many there would be that would take joy in taking it from him. In other words, we must prepare ourselves for the onslaughts that are bound to come. Anyone, from the pastor of the local church to the "elected " leaders could become our arch enemies. Messiah told us plainly that our enemies would be those of our own households.

38:4 "Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt. "

Having done nothing wrong, we are often treated with utter hatred. But this is the way of it, where pure light shines in great darkness. And if you have been selected to be the object of such hatred after commiting no crime but standing steadfast for Yahweh and His word, you are in excellent company, and you find yourself in the presence of Yahoshua Himself.

Heavenly Father Yahweh

We give You thanks and praise for not only Your ever loving mercies and blessings, but for your rebukes and chastisements as well. For without these... how would we learn?

We come to you with a repentent heart and ask forgiveness for our transgressions. Heal our spirits, fill us up with Your glorious Holy Spirit and lead us to Your everlasting arms. Protect us from the evils of this land. Praise your Glorious Name.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 81

Jeremiah 38:4 "" Therefore the princes said unto the king, we beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people , in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt."

See how patriotism, not rooted in Yahweh God, can actually make you the enemy of Yahweh God.

Yahweh had brought the Babylonian onslaught Himself, to punish Judah for it's sin and rebellion. Yahweh pleaded with the people through the prophet Jeremiah, " Repent of your evil, humble yourselves and accept your punishment. Don't make it worse for yourself!" All the king and the people had to do was acknowledge their sin, admit that they were reaping what they had sown and surrender to the armies at their gates, and Yahweh would have shown great mercy unto them. Yes, they would still have to endure their punishment, but their punishment would have been much lighter, much less grievious.

But no. Instead they were seduced by patriotism. They arrogantly boasted," We are Yahweh's chosen, we cannot be defeated! This is the holy city Jerusalem, Yahweh's temple is here, it can never fall!" False prophets preached a message of patriotism, which kept people blinded to their sin by keeping them focused on their race. Yahweh's true Israel is a chosen race, do not misunderstand; but race has never put us above our duty, our responsibility, our need to humble ourselves and be holy. Race has never been an excuse for rebellion and sin.

Out of all of them only Jeremiah and the small remnant that hearkened to his words were the only true patriots to be found, for they honored Israel's God, above Israel itself.

Holy Father Yahweh, thy Kingdom and Your Name are great.

O Father no other is as prowerful as you. Let us not be given to false patriotism but let us praise You and worship You, for You alone can save us from evil hands .

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 9

Jeremiah 37:1 " And King Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah."

At first glance , Zedekiah seems so odd. He along with the rest of his kingdom would not listen to the words of Jeremiah the prophet. But still Zedekiah sent messangers asking Jeremiah to "Pray now unto the Lord our God for us."

Then when Jeremiah was accused of treason and put in prison, Zedekiah secretly took him out and asked, " Is there any word from the Lord?..." The king inwardly knew the truth of Jeremiah's words and where these words were coming from. But the king himself was a slave, and rather than lead his people into a more merciful fate he hearkened unto the princes and allowed Jeremiah to be thrown into a horrible muck filled pit.

It was, of all people,an ethiopian eunuch named Ebed-melech that ended up coming to Jeremiah's aid. One not even of the house of Israel recognized the righteousness of Jeremiah, when true Judahites could not. The Ethiopian dared go to Zedekiah and warn him of the evil being done to the prophet, and thus moved the king to once again deliver Jeremiah.

And yet again Zedekiah begged Jeremiah to declare what Yahweh's will was, although he would never obey that will. Zedekiah could see the truth, but he did not have the faith to obey it. Is this really so odd? Countless people run from one meeting to another, from one conference to another hoping to gain some "word of the Lord". But they are undone, for what they truly hope to find is some divine confirmation to the paths that they have already chosen to walk, rather than being prepared to step into a new path. These people will nod their heads and agree with all that you say, but they will walk away still on their own path. Like Zedekiah, they do not possess the faith to repent.

And so we too must always work to keep our hearts humble, and to fear none but Yahweh our God and stay diligently in His word, lest we too end up blinded and in chains.

Glory be to Yahweh, God Almighty in the Highest,

Humble my heart Yahweh, empty me of any thought or possession I may have that could keep You from me. Fill my heart and soul up with Your righteousness. I dedicate my life to You, Heavenly Father. Don't let me stumble and fall into darkness. I need you... I always need you Yahweh/Yahshua. Grant me the strength and endurance of Jeremiah and your prophet's of old. I shall not worry about what to say or when to say it... I glorify Your Name and place myself in Your loving and merciful hands.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 1

2 Peter 1:21 " For the prophecy came not in old times by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

There are those that would reject the Word of Yahweh because of the great expanse of time that has stretched over the writings of our scriptures. Great errors have crept in because men have not kept in mind the one foundational truth, Yahweh God does not change,. He is always the same. Our culture and our society can do whatever it wants, but Yahweh is unaffected, unchanged by the world's fads. Yahweh's Holy Spirit is the same Holy Spirit that moved holy men of Yahweh, from Genesis to Malachi. Although Nathan, Elijah and Amos were all different men, with different personalities and in different times, The Holy Spirit of Yahweh was the same. It was not their spirit that moved them, but their Father's.

This was the very same Holy Spirit that moved Simeon and Anna in the temple when the Messiah was brought to be circumcised. It was the same Holy Spirit that was poured out at the Feast of Pentecost in Acts 2 and baptized those first disciples, the same Holy Spirit that moved Joel to prophesy and caused Peter to announce that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit observed on that day of Pentecost was that promised by God and that it was there for all those assembled, and their children, and for all those far off (yet to be born).

Hence, it is the same Holy Spirit that would lead us today as led Peter, Joel, Jeremiah and all those before us. There is no "dispensational" mystery here. Yahweh's Spirit is always ready, never changing. It is only we pitiful men that change.

Gracious and Glorious Father Yahweh

Let your Holy Spirit be poured out us. Let us maginfy Your Name in Your Spirit.

HalleluYah.

Psalm 88

2 Peter 1:21 " For the prophecy came not in old times by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

If indeed, the same Holy Spirit that "turned the world upsidedown" as in the book of Acts it is at our disposal today, then why don't we see all that took place then, taking place now?

Why do we not see the fiery persecution of times past now? There is a very remarkable absence of holiness. By this it is not meant sinless perfection, but rather seperation, being set apart from worldliness, carnality and sin. The same reason that we do not see the unrestrained power of the Holy Spirit moving the church today is why we also see very little persecution of the church. The church has become altogether worldly, filled with devilish doctrines, unbelievers, and pagan ways and rituals.

The Holy Spirit of Yahweh is first and foremost HOLY! Yahweh's Spirit seperates light from the darkness, sets apart those who would walk in obediance from those who would walk in rebellion, urges us ever away from anything that would offend Yahweh.

I Praise and glorify your Holy Name, Yahweh/Yahshua, for you are my Rock and my Refuge, above You there is no other.

Protect me from the earthly demonic powers that try to coil and fester about my heart. This is a corrupt world we live in today, just as in the days of old. Worse now I think because of the mobility and technology in the world today. Grant me the discernment to separate the light from the darkness, to stand firm in my faith in You and cause the wicked to flee before You. I am a child of Your's Yahweh, help me to face the troubles and temptations of this world and be strong in sending the darkness back to whence it came and spend eternity with in Your Everlasting Arms...

HallaluYah!

Psalm 98

1 Corinthians 12:1 " Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ingorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led."

Paul makes it very clear that 1) There are such things as "spiritual gifts" or " gifts of the Spirit" and 2) he does not want us groping about in ignorance concerning these supernatural manifestations but to be knowledgeable concerning them.

The first thing that Paul established is that these believers in Corinth were at one time "Gentiles", implying that they were not "Gentiles" anymore. How can this be? Most have been taught that unless a person was a "jew", then they were a "Gentile", but this isn't so. In the Aramaic text "gentile" is rendered "pagan". They had been worshippers of false gods and dumb idols. The ten tribed Nothern KIngdom of Israel was destroyed and carried away by Assyria because they had become pagan and had become as Hosea says "Not my (Yahweh's) people." But now through the Atonement of Messiah, they were grafted back into the vine, redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb they were brought back into the common wealth of Israel and were no longer " Not my people" but were "the children of the Living God."

:3 " Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed : and that no man can say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Ghost."

Having been pagan worshippers of false gods and dumb idols, they had become slaves to all manner of occult and superstitious beliefs, and had no doubt witnessed the demonic manifestations of these occult powers. So it is that Paul gives the very first rule of discernment between demonic and divine manifstations. Demonic, occultic spirits will always lead away from Yahoshua the Messiah (the Word made flesh). The Holy Spirit of Yahweh always leads to Yahoshua the Messiah. Yahoshua is the fullfillment, the goal of the law and the prophets, and if we will submit and be obediant to the Word of Yahweh (the law and the prophets) made flesh (Yahoshua), then we will not be decieved by the supernatural, but will know whether we are dealing with demonic spirits or The Holy Spirit.

Father Yahweh, Lord and Ruler of the Universe

Grant us the discernment to know the difference between the devil and Your Holy Spirit that we may not stray but be at your side.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 138

1 Corinthians 12:4 "Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. and there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations. but it is the same God which worketh all in all."

Whatever the need of any given situatoin, Yahweh is quite prepared to meet it. It is such a horrible loss, that men do not learn to cast themselves into Yahweh's care and lean on Him and Him alone. The understanding of man is so limited, but our Heavenly Father's is unlimited. Man steps onto the scene of human experiences armed with history, educatuon, lectures, programs and politics. Yahweh fills all of time and existence with infinite power. In a moment of time He can do what men cannot over long years of toil and trial.

Whatever the need Yahweh can fill it. Whatever manifestation of power is needed , it is all Yahweh. One God, One Spirit,. Yahweh our God is One God, and He is more than enough.

Whatever our need, whether it be discernment, for faith, for healing or an outright miracle, Yahweh brings all. Cast yourself utterly and completely into His keeping and into His care, and He will meet your needs.

Heavenly Father Yahweh

I need You, more and more each day. Please fill my life with Your Presence.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 12

1 Corinthians 12:7 " But the manifstation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. for to one is given by Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of Knowledge by the same Spirit."

"... to every man to profit withal." Notice that there is no specialised hierarchy mentioned here, no select group who are alone entrusted with the "Manifestations of the Spirit". " To every man... this means that all may be used of the Holy Spirit of Yahweh, whether rich or poor, servant or master. The only criteria is faith and obediance. To every man... , there is no selected ecclestiastical body set apart for such matters, no oracles to seek out in the high mountains. Everyone of us has the potential to be used of the Holy Spirit in a unique and powerful way.

"... to profit withal..." Why is the Holy spirit given? To bless the entire body of Messiah. If Yahweh uses you in the manifiestation of His Spirit it is so that you might be a blessing to others. All the gifts of the Spirit of Yahweh , are intended for the strengthening and nurturing of others. You may be given the gift, but it is to be "given" freely to others. Hence, you are not made into a lord and master by the gift , but rather a servant, for the gifts are given solely for the purpose of serving others.

Holy Father Yahweh

Let me be a servant unto You that Your Spirit may flow through me and be a gift to all those who I meet.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 74

1 Corinthians 12:8 " For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;"

We have seen earlier how that man possesses no latent supernatural abilities. He obtains such only from the spiritual realm. The young damsel in the book of Acts following Paul and Silas would have been called a psychic in today's culture, but scripture tells us plainly that she was possessed by a demonic spirit of divination. She was a slave of both the devil and her worldly master who made a living from her enslavement. This is nothing more than a counterfeit of the Power of Yahweh's Holy Spirit.

But here we see the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. The word of wisdom and the word of knowledge. What is the difference between the two? Knowledge is the "knowing" of certain facts. Wisdom is the "using" of certain facts in a wise manner. By the power of Yahweh's Holy Spirit we are given the "knowing" of things which we would have no idea about otherwise. Circumstances or events in a person's life completely hidden to us otherwise, are revealed to us as we may minister to an individual or in a situation. This is the word of knowledge.

The Word of wisdom is Yahweh's Holy Spirit instruction for a specific individual or a specific task. How to handle certain events in a way that we see all things, how one thing interacts with another , how one person affects another, and only He knows how to bring all things about to His glory.

These manifestations are given to us by our Heavenly Father, that we might better serve one another, and thus bring great and greater glory, back to our Father. But let us always seek the Giver more than the gifts.

Dear Heavenly Father, I give You thanks and praise.

Make me an instrument to glorify your Name Yahweh. I dedicate my life to You and Your word. Grant me the discernment to know Your Voice when heard so I am not decieved by the devils own. You are the One True Living God. Glory be Thy Name Yahweh.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 133

1 Corinthians 12:9 "To another faith by the same sprit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;"

What is the "gift of faith"? Faith by it's very nature is belief and trust. It is by faith that we obey the commandments of Yahweh, not to establish our own righteousness, but to abide by His Standard of righteousness, thus the just are truly living by faith. But what of the battle it seems we can never win? The secret sin or attitude which we battle over and over, yet never seem to gain a victoy over. Like the father whose son was torn and tortured by the demonic spirit, we cry out "Lord I believe, help my unbelief. " We find ourselves in need of greater faith than we have ever possessed.

Take heart, for Yahweh has not left us hopeless. There is a gift of faith that is able to pull us through and bring us the victory that has eluded us for so long.

And see how the gifts of healing are mentioned in the same verse as the gift of faith. All that we could ever have need of in this earthly walk is available to us through the abundance of Yahoshua the Messiah and the supply of the Holy Spirit.

Give thanks and praise unto our Father Yahweh, for His Eye is ever upon His children, and His Ear ever open to our cries.

FatherYahweh

Hear my cry and save me from this dark place the world is ever in. Look down on me and give me light . Bring peace to my heart and show me mercy.

HalleluYah!

Psalm126

1 Corinthians 12:10 " to another a working of miracles; to another prophecy, to another discernment of spirits, to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues..."

So many of the hireling pastors and teachers of both churchianity and Christian Israel have hidden from the plain truth of scripture. Because there is no power in their own lives and ministries, they make the power of Yahweh a thing of the past, and thus keep the sheep of Yahweh's own flock away from the power and the glory that is rightfully theirs.

They quote verses out of context like 1 Corinithians 13:8, " Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease, where there are tongues, they will be stilled, where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears... " What is perfect at this moment? The church? Hardly. Our translations of scripture? Obviously not. What is perfect then? Nothing. Let these hirelings read the rest of the passage." Now, we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror, then we shall see face to face. Now, I know in part, then I shall know fully , even as I am fully known."

When is the "then" that Paul speaks of? It is the fullness of the kingdom, when Yahweh/Yahoshua sets upon His throne, and we are transformed and have put on our immortal bodies. At no time before that will anything be perfect.

Let no one keep you from your inheritance, christian Israelite.The power and the glory are still waiting to be claimed, by any who will.

Our Holy Father Yahweh

Have mercy on Your humble servant. It is difficult to follow when there are so many false preachers and leaders preaching theirs is the right path, then we have to choose. Grant me the discernment to choose wisely, Yahweh/Yahoshua. Push back the fear and darkness of Satan and let Your light of Truth shine within me. I want to know Your will and have the strength to follow it. Keep me ever moving toward You Yahweh. May Your will be done in all things, Praise Your Holy Name.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 12

1Corinthians 12:11 "But all these worketh that one and self same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will."

The image is of Yahweh./Yahoshua being the head, the center from which all impulses, all actions and responses originate . We, the redemed of Jacob Israel are the body. When Yahweh/Yahoshua determines, we go into action. We, acting as His Hands, His feet, His body fullfill all His desire.

There is never any debate, when you wish to pick up a pen and write a letter, your hand instantly reaches out to perform your desire. So it is meant to be in the body of Messiah. His thought is our action, serving and ministering to one another and being a witness and a light in the midst of great darkness.

But in the power of the Holy Spirit of Yahweh, notice that all the gifts of the Spirit are actually manifestations of the One Spirit . It is that One Holy Spirit which unites us in purpose and power. The One Spirit of the One God, Yahweh/Yahoshua. The same Holy Spirit that " hovered over the face of the waters" in Genesis chapter one also gives us discernment of spirits. The same Spirit of Yahweh that moved Isaiah to write of future events, also reveals to us all that we need to know.

It is all still there. Yahweh never changes.

Blessed is your Holy Name, Most High Father of all things.

Grant us the discernment and the strength to be all you want us to be and the courage to do what you want us to do.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 139

Galations 5:14 " For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this ; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

There are a great many that suppose that the law of Yahweh is a cumbersome thing, a burden grievious to be borne. But Yahoshua the Messiah said, and Paul echoes it here, that our obligation to the law could be performed by simply loving our neighbor as we would love our own selves. This speaks volumes if we will but listen.

"... But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another... " To try and fulfill the law of Yahweh without actual love for your brethren is utterly impossible, for we grudgingly perform some of it's outward forms, but we will be despising it in our hearts. Eventually the actions of our untouched hearts will work thier way outward and sin will have us.

"This I say then, walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." What does Paul mean by " walk in the Spirit "? He means the same thing that our Messiah meant when He said that He was the true vine and that we must abide in Him, and if we would simple abide ( rely on HIm and let His life flow through our beings) we would bear much fruit. We have a choice before each of us, whether to sin or be righteous. To sin is our fleshly nature. But to be righteous requires the Presence of the Holy Spirit of Yahweh/Yahoshua.

Yahweh, maker of Heaven and earth, we praise Your Holy Name.

Write Your laws upon our hearts, grant us the wisdom and discernment to deal with others with Your level of mercy and forgiveness. Teach us to share your word and laws with our brothers and to be a living example of those laws. Let us walk in the Spirit as Paul did, we are your Humble servants.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 17

Galatians 5:19 " Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variances, emulations, wrath, strife, seductions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of that which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

This is quite a list. But each one of these "works" is but a manifistation of a deeper problem referred to as " the flesh", each of these began as a want, a desire, a thought or fantasy. These things were then entertained in the imaginations of the heart, and shortly after were manifested, come about as "works".

Contrary to popular opinion, these "works of the flesh" are sufficient to bar us from Yahweh's Kingdom. Salvation is not about thinking happy thoughts or praying a sinner's prayer. It is about doing or not doing. Citizen's of Yahweh's kingdom are not found "doing" these things. This does not mean that we are not tempted, that we do not stumble. We are in this world still imperfect. But we are not prone to the doing of these things.

But the question is asked, "How shall I not do these things?"

:18 "But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law."

Does this mean that if we are being led by Yahweh's Holy Spirit we need not concern ourselves with Yahweh's commandments? Think of it this way. If we are led by the Holy Spirit does that mean I may now covet, lie and commit murder? Of course not! It means that if I am led by the Holy Spirit, I will not do those things that condemn me " under the law." Yahweh's Holy Spirit does not lead us into sin, but leads us into truth and righteousness, and there is no law, no commandment, no judgement against truth and righteousness.

Our Heavenly Father Yahweh

You are above all the world. Lift me up that I may not stumble. Give me Your hand to hold that I may not stray. Show me your way to truth and righteousness.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 147

Galatians 5:22 " But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

Ironic, that these fruits are the very things most people seek after their entire lives and yet never find. They embark on any number of lifestyles in vain attempts to enjoy the very things that Yahweh/Yahoshua offers them for free.

But they miss out on them altogether, decieved into thinking that these precious fruits of the Holy Spirit of Yahweh can somehow be obtained by living in the works of the flesh. Thus they not only live a life empty of true love, joy, peace, etc...; but in the end they lose out in the Kingdom of Yahweh/Yahoshua as well, thus they are twice cheated.

The fruit of the Spirit can come only by walking in the Spirit, by abiding in Messiah. There simply is no other way.

"... against such there is no law," There has never been a commandment forbidding love, peace, patience, faith, joy, meekness or goodness. These things are by products of obeying the commandments, which the Holy Spirit will lead us and empower us to do if we will walk in the Spirit, and thus,"... if ye be lead of the Spirit, ye are not under the law."

Dear Heavenly Father

Let the fruits we bear reflect Your Presence in our lives. Grant us the strength to endure the stumbling blocks set before us by our adversary, and not be decieved by the darkness that encamps round about us. Thank you Yahweh/Yahoshua for your love and mercies.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 140

Galatians 5:24 " And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."

We are utterly dependant upon Yahweh's Holy Spirit in every area of our lives. Paul does not give us two separate classes of believers here, one class living in the Spirit only, the other living and walking in the Spirit. No, he is saying that walking in the Spirit of Yahweh is the evidence that we are living in the Spirit of Yahweh.

The gifts of the Spirit are real, but are given that we might better serve our brothers and sisters. But the gifts of the Spirit can be counterfeited, even as Pharoah's magicians were able to counterfeit Aaron's rod turning it into a snake. Did the pagan magicians rods turning into serpents prove that Aaron's rod/snake was false? No. It only showed that satan can counterfiet displays of power.

But there is no counterfeit for the fruits of the Holy Spirit, and the fruits can be had only by abiding in the Messiah.

"If ye abide in me..." When we offer up ourselves as living sacrifices, we pick up our cross and are crucified with Him. It is only in the dying to this life, that we can live a new life.

My Lord and Creator, Yahweh God, True and Honorable, Most High Father

Grant us the strength to bear our crosses and courage to face this world.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 1

John 12:24 " Verily , verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.:25 " He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."

How shall we walk in the Spirit? How shall we abide in Messiah? How shall we bear fruit? By giving up our right to our own lives, our right to live as we would choose. By dying to our wants, our goals, our ambitions, often times even to our pet beliefs. We take all that we have ever been, all that we now are, all that we might ever be, and lay it all upon the altar of sacrifice. We cry out, "not my will, but Thine be done!"

We offer ourselves up as living sacrifices; no longer to live the lives we would have chosen, but instead to live the lives that Yahweh/Yahoshua shall make. Now we live a life saturated with the Presence of the Living God. His Personality becoming our own, His Holy Spirit guiding us, leading us, forming us into something more. The fruits of His own Holy Spirit manifesting themselves in our own spirits. The gifts or manifestations of His own Spirit of Power occuring naturally through us as we serve our brothers and our sisters.

This is the new life, the new creation. How could we settle for anything less?

Praise your Holy Name Yahweh, above You there is no other

I dedicate my life to you Yahweh/Yahoshua, I am your humble servant, lead me where you want me to go. Let every word I utter and every move I make honor and serve You, Yahweh in the Highest, all my days.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 105

John 12:42 " Never the less among the chief rulers also many beleived on Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God."

Every Sabbath day, the jews and the judahites would assemble together and read the Torah and the prophecies of the coming Messiah, and would pray for the advent of the Messiah. This reading of the law was the basis for all their worship, and the looking for the Messiah that gave them hope.

But then Messiah actually came and this was most inconvenient for them. Nothing upset their understanding of the law and the prophets more than the law and the prophets (The Word) being made flesh and walking into their midst. Nothing upset their concept of Yahweh's Kingdom more than Yahweh Himself going around establishing this Kingdom. It was such a bother.

Isn't it remarkable, that a ruler of the Judahite, Benjamite and Levite, people, couldn't even voice his faith in the Messiah, the very salvation of Yahweh, without fear of being thrown out of Yahweh's assembly?

Revelations 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door I will come in to him and sup with him, and he with me." This verse has been quoted by churchianity over and over as a portrait of Yahoshua reaching out to the lost sinner, but this was not what The Messiah meant. This was written to a church and to a church age. Laodicea: blind, naked and wretched, thinking all the while it is rich, wise and great. This final church age reveals a terrible truth: it exhalts a Messiah which is not even allowed inside.

There is truly nothing new under the sun.

Father Yahweh, Great and Merciful

Come quickly our Messiah and save your people.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 75

Acts 1:15 "And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty)..."

When we think of disciples, our minds quickly set upon an image of the twelve. But we forget that there was a multitude about the Messiah at many times, seeking to be fed, healed and touched.

But there in the upper room were one hundred and twenty, each considered a disciple, each at different levels of faith and understanding, but gathered there at the Feast of Pentecost, waiting, expecting the fullfillment of a promise, waiting to recieve power from on high, and they would not be disappointed.

One hundered and twenty, most of whose names we do not know. To us, a nameless, faceless crowd. But they were known to their Heavenly Father Yahweh and each one of them had a purpose, a destiny to fulfill.

Never forget, that although we may only be aware of a handfull of like minded believers, the Book of Life is page after page of names written, names you and I have never heard of, but known to our Father in Heaven.

Blessed be Thy Holy Name Yahweh, maker of heaven and earth

Cleanse my spirit Yahweh/Yahoshua, grant me the discernment and faith of Your disciples that walked with You when You came to earth in the flesh.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 2

Luke 10:1 "After these things the Lord appointed other seveny also and sent them two and two before His face into every city and place, whither He Himself would come..."

Here were seventy, endowed with divine power, an appetizer before the Feast of Pentecost. Their names for the most part, unknown, but only to us.

They were disciples. They were known to the Messiah and so were known to Yahweh. He entrusted them with the honor of going before Him and announcing His coming, not just with words but with the demonstration of power. The seventy, the majority of which no one could name today, were given a foretaste of the power of the Kingdom and then sent out to draw everyone's atttention to the coming King.

But these seventy were known also in the regions of the damned. :17 "and the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy Name." Long before Paul the apostle would gain a reputation in the demonic realm, these seventy went before the Face of the Messiah sending fear through the halls of hell.

Men whose names are unknown to us now, but are still known to the Father, Yahweh; but also known throughout the ranks of our Father's enemies.

It is greater fame to be known and feared by the devil than to have a reputation throughout the ages, and to have your name written in only one book, the Book of Life, than have your name written in all the history books of this world.

Praise Thee Holy Father, Yahweh. Glory to be to Thee Most High

Give us the strength to be half as great as those who came before Paul that the Realm of Hell cannot touch us, through Your great and glorious power.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 27

John 6:70 " Jesus answered them, have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil."

Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John sons of Zebedee, Phillip and Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot, Judas Iscariot. Here are the names most recognized. There were many others which could claim to be a disciple of Yahoshua the Messiah, to recieve Divine Power, to be sent out to herald His coming. But there were only twelve chosen, to watch Him walk upon strong seas, to calm the storm with nothing but the sound of His voice. Only twelve chosen to take the final passover meal with Him, to hear His farewell address that fateful night.

Here begins a lesson, a lesson each of us will do well to learn. Each man is given his measure of faith and understanding. Not all are called to preach the great message, to write the great book. We are all called to do our own work, to be a light wherever we are placed.

Do you see others who serve and obey the Master, but who seem content with their lot? Judge them not! For if a man is called simply to lead his household into the truth, then he does an honorable thing, and his reward shall not be taken from him. Do you see those who shine and accomplish more than you yourself? Do not judge yourself by them, but rather by the word and the Spirit of Yahweh. Only you can do what you are called to do; you can not accomplish any other man's calling. You are called to love Yahweh with all your heart, not someone else's.

Praise be Thy Holy Name Yahweh/Yahoshua.

Let me feel Your Presence move through my life. I humbly ask for the divine power of the Holy Spirit to move through my soul to make me an instrument of Yours Yahweh. Let the light of truth shine through me as it shone through your disciples long ago. May Your will be done in all things.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 141

John 6:70 "... and one of you is a devil."

Judas Iscariot, the man from the Edomite village of Carioth, whose name is the very foremost name in all of history representing treachery, betrayel and villainy.

He too was chosen. Does this surprise you? Do not think for one moment that the actions of the betrayel caught the Messiah by surprise. But Yahoshua drives home the point. He not only knew what Judas would do, He chose him for that purpose!

Yahweh/Yahoshua saw Judas all the way back in the garden, "... Ye shall bruise my heel... ". But this was not just the unfolding of events by their own momentum. " Have I not chosen you twelve..." Yahweh/Yahoshua chose them, including Judas. The Messiah hand picked the very one by which His betrayal, His torture and His crucifiction would come. But it was also through Judas' betrayal that Yahoshua's ressurection would come.

Do not be overcome by your own adversaries and circumstances, for they have been handpicked for you. But rejoice, for it is through these very adversaries, that Yahweh/Yahoshua will bring about a glorious work in your life.

Glory be to Yahweh, Most High and Merciful

Lord Yahweh God, bless us and try us, O Father. Let us be found righteous in Your eyes.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 26

Mark 5:37 " And He suffered no man to follow Him, save Peter and James, and John the brother of James."

Yes, there is a deeper communion, a deeper fellowship that might be had with the Messiah. The one hundred and twenty, were all saved and Baptized in the Holy Spirit of Yahweh. The seventy were all sent out and given power. The other twelve enjoyed a deeper and more intimate relationship with the Messiah. But even here, there was more.

Only these, Peter, James and John were allowed to witness the raising of the little girl from the dead. Only these three were allowed to see Messiah transformed on the mountaintop and commune with Moses and Elijah. Only these three were allowed to be partakers of Yahoshua's agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. These three only got to walk with the Messiah on a more personal level than anyone else.

Can you walk more closely by your Redeemer's side, without condeming those who have not? Peter,James and John were allowed deeper access into the life of their Master, not because they were worthy: they were not worthy. No, these three were chosen to walk so closely. These three alone were allowed a deeper look into the Saviour's heart, without becoming arrogant to the fact.

Rest assured, if Yawheh/Yahoshua lead's you into deeper communion with Himself, it is so that you might have more of His Character to serve others with.

Yahweh/Yahshua, maker of Heaven and earth, glory be Thy Name.

Cleanse my heart and soul, O Yahweh, grant me the deeper and closer communion in my daily walk with You as Your diciples walked. I know I am not worthy for I am imperfect as they were. But I fervently pray for your guidance. I ask for your mercy and strength to openly declare Your soon return to cleanse the earth of the darkness and abominations that flourish and are provoking Your people, Jacob/Israel. Blessed by thy Name, Yahweh/Yahoshua.

HalleluYah!
