Are You Non Controversial?
Sunday, July 24th, 2011the danger of the “spirit of unworthiness”
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011“ I abide in the heart and the soul of every sheep says Yahuwah (” the Lord” ) I long to have a deep personal loving relationship with every one of them. I am constantly talking to them all of the time. Unfortunately most never hear even one word that I say unless I say it to them through someone else. Even then they are often skeptical because of their feelings of unworthiness. This is the enemies great lie; that My people are unworthy. Even in unbelief they are still worthy says Yahuwah. However desperate their circumstances are, they are still worthy, however great their sin may seem through worldly eyes, they are still worthy. A CHILD of mine can never be unworthy says Yahuwah, else My promises could not be relied upon.
Unworthiness is therefore a lie of the enemy and a deception. It can be easily revealed. Once revealed it can be overcome. The only way to overcome unworthiness is through love. Education cannot do it, criticism cannot do it, nor reason , nor logic, only love which transcends everything can relieve the heavy burden.
It must be communicated that unworthiness is a spirit. No evil spirit can abide in the presence of true unconditional love. Now you see that the easiest way to deliver people from unworthiness is to love them. The Book of Ruth ( RUWth) demonstrates how her unconditional love of Naomi, despite circumstances and unfathomable difficulty, restored her to fullness and vanquished that unworthy spirit from their lives. A deeper study reveals the full significance of this. At first glance, it would appear that Ruth and Naomi are the main issue but this is not the case says Yahuwah (“the Lord”). Naomi’s feelings of unworthiness could have destroyed the most significant bloodline of all time were it not for the love of Ruth.
This same pattern is repeated constantly today and I am grieved that people do not even realize the significance of it. You see, Ruth’s simple acts of love ( unconditional love for her mother-in-law) and obedience ( doing everything she was asked to do without question) changed the course of the known world forever!
How many people come across your path for whom the simple act of your unconditional love could change the course of the known world? Of course you have no idea says Yahuwah. If you knew the answer to this question you will be overwhelmed.
Let people know that they have the right and the ability to hear My voice any time they choose. They just have to get all of the other noises out of their head first. You can show them by demonstrating unconditional love- then coupling that with simple obedience, they too can change the course of the world! “
Do not fear…
Thursday, April 28th, 2011“ Blessed are you when your eyes behold My Works and My Ways. Blessed are you when you receive My daily bread with gratitude.
My hand is always open to you and yours, when your trust in Me is full. No good thing will I withhold from those who walk uprightly ; from those who acknowledge Me in all their ways, for I will direct their lives.Your eyes shall behold the fruit of My love and the answers to all that you ask of Me.
Because of My perfect and necessary timing, there are many times the trying of your patience. But then your patience grows into mature resolve to rest in waiting. I am the God of timeless timing. My promises are without limits in the ultimate scheme of things .’Rest and believe’ is the song of My psalmist.
Only those who enter the rest, shall shed all the anxious moments and have the strength to complete My purposes for them. Do not be tossed to and fro like the tumultuous waves of the sea. Anchor yourself in My faithfulness and My very present place in each fearful circumstance. As Peter faltered on that stormy day, My hand was near to raise him out of harms way. Would I do less for you My love?
You will live to see My mighty hand stretch forth in the affairs of men and you will witness the undeniable intervention I will perform.My heavenly warriors stand ready to foil the enemies that are raging against Me and My children.
When the fullness of time comes full circle, the wicked will not mistake My presence. They will cower and tremble and fall into the pits of their own making. Fear not the raging and roaring for the evil one. Defeat is his portion and reward.
Victory is the only end for all who wait upon Me and follow Me in to battle. No foe can withstand My fierce wrath to soon come upon the earth. Stand still. Stand ready. Stand with faith and total assurance and you will never doubt My power again.
My name is Love. Nothing else has the power to defeat, direct, and deliver My people. Yielding to My love will bring joy unspeakable to all who do. Look up ad see the salvation of your God. I am God, and there is no other. Come into My house and celebrate with Me, come into My waiting arms at last.
I am your very own Father, for now and forever. ” Amen.

Message for 2011
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011As the year of 2010 closed, we both prayed and asked the Lord for a word of guidance and encouragement for 2011 and also a Word that will serve as a “banner” over 2011. He gave us the message in the New years video as well these words that He gave us on 1.1.11
” Do not be afraid. You must only believe “ Mark 5 :36 ( taken from the Kings Covenant translation.)
We take much courage in this word that the Father gave us over the year 2011 and it builds so much confidence that out of all the many things that He instructs and says daily, that He chose this scripture to set the ‘banner’ over 2011.
Then the Spirit of the Lord led us to various scriptures to confirm this message.
As I started studying this morning, He had me go directly to Hebrews 13 verse 5 and 6 and it says “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said , ‘ never will I leave you, never will I forsake you’
verse 6 “so we say with confidence, the Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” ( NIV)
I then looked up the books that these two quotes were taken from and the first is taken from Deuteronomy 31:6 ” be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for Yahuwah*( ‘the Lord’) your God goes with you; He will never leave you, nor forsake you” and in verse 8 ” Yahuwah ( ‘the Lord’) Himself goes before you and will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged”
And the 2nd quote is from Psm 118 v 6&7
Now before we look at this verse, the preceeding verse of Psm 118 says ” In my anguish I cried out to Yahuwah ( ‘the Lord’) and He answered by setting me free” which is preceeded by 4 times crying out ” His love endures forever” )
then verse 6&7 ” Yahuwah is with me ; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Yahuwah is with me; He is my helper.” ( NIV)
Then the following verse gives us much to think on ” It is better to trust in Yahuwah, than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in Yahuwah than to put confidence in princes” KJV
Then the Father concluded by saying this “Do not be troubled by the ills of this world. Do not envy their ways for it leads only to destruction. But blessed is the man who follows the ways of Yahuwah, his walk will be blameless and My eyes will be continuously on him for good and not for harm. Such a man is a delight to Me and his prayers a fragrance before Me says Yahuwah. Do not be of the ranks of this world, do not dwell in their wicked ways or think of the things they speak of, but focus your eyes on My Son for He will keep and sustain you and keep your ways blameless before Me.
Trust in Me with all your heart and do not be afraid of those who can harm the body but cannot touch the soul. Your life is hidden with Me and I am the keeper of your soul. With me are peace and joy everlasting. I am the light of all your days on earth declares Yahuwah. You will walk in this new way and you will not stumble for I am able to keep you from stumbling. Do not look at the waves of the sea from the storm, look at My Son.
Do not fear the things the world fears, do not care for the things the world cares, for they have no hold on Me. I am the beginning and end of all things present, past and future.
Abide in My Word and your ways will be blameless. I bless the blameless for they are a delight to Me says Yahuwah. Let your heart not be downcast for I know the way in front of you and I have already made a way through the storm. Take courage My child for I am not slumbering nor sleeping, My eyes are always open”
After this I looked up ‘blameless’ and there are many references! We know that the blood of Christ has made us blameless before the Father. But know we seek to also walk blamelessly before Him in thought and deed. One of my favorite scriptures is Psm 84:11 ” For the Yahuwah God is a sun and shield; Yahuwah bestows favor and honor; No good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless” v 12 ” O Yahuwah Almighty, blessed is the man WHO TRUSTS IN YOU” NIV
And this takes us full circle from the first Word He gave us for 2011 “Do not be afraid. You must only believe” ( trust)

THE FATHER ALSO GAVE US THE FOLLOWING WORD THAT IS RECORDED ON THE HOME PAGE UNDER THE VIDEO FILES
“ The coming year is to be one of consistency says Yah. Of constantly applying My principals and the power of My Word to everything you do. It is time to live a true set-apart life by those who belong to Me, where you are operating in the world without being of the world. This requires diligent application of all the things you have been learning. You have your schedules, your talents , your projects; now you need sustained focussed action. Only My Spirit can pull it all together through you, using your millennium mindset. If the worldly mindset of greed, gain and self-glorification is given a foothold, you will remove yourself from the blessings, so beware of even a little leaven.
I delight in excellence, but it must be measured against My standards, not those of the world. Excellence is demonstrated by example. Speaking of it and writing about it is one thing, but being it is an altogether different thing and the only one that has any power. I call upon you to be excellent in everything that you do;have an excellent marriage,be excellent stewards of your resources , demonstrate excellence in your business pursuits, speak with excellence. Godly excellence brings peace, harmony and healing to all situations says Yahuwah. It can never be questioned or criticized and it shines My light into even the darkest situations..
As the cycle is completed My people are returning to understanding, they are seeking for the first time the true depth of the deceptions of the world. They are finding a hunger for the truth. There is only one source of that truth, My life giving Word, lived out by example in the lives of My children, transcending barriers of race and religion, restoring My family values, rediscovering the importance of community and family life.
People need to witness the example of excellence in your lifestyle. Good health and prosperity through feeding the body with life giving nutrients and feeding the mind and the soul with with the life giving sustenance of My Word. Apply My standards to everything that you do says the Lord. I will bless the work of your hands abundantly beyond your perception. You just need to be sure not to construct barriers that block the flow of the blessings. These are created when you decide to impose your will or ideas on any situation. My blessings cannot flow through mans will says Yahuwah of Hosts.
Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit ” says God.
Encouragement comes through making progress
Saturday, December 18th, 2010“Encouragement comes through making progress says God, and making progress comes through encouragement. Be consistent in your encouragement of each other, and your uplifting of each other as well as other people. Always strive to help other people feel encouraged by any interaction they have with you. Leave them with a sense of increase. A sense that you have deposited something within them. Even though performance evaluation has its uses, far better results will come by offering encouragement rather that criticism.
You can only touch people by your example so make sure that the example you show is consistent with your purpose. Remember the importance of accountability; it is the only way to measure your progress and your level of consistency. Daily accountability will make sure that you stay on track and on purpose.”
There IS an answer
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010Many are the troubles of man , but the Lord delivers him out of them all. Put your faith in Him, put your trust in Him. Do not look to the left or to the right, for the Lord is your shield and your protector. He is your help in troublesome times.
Do not ask ‘where is the Lord’ ? for He is always near you, always close to you. He knows your pains and sufferings and is making a way for you out of them.
Many days will come and go, but the Name of our Lord is a strong tower and the righteous run to it and are safe.Oh how great is our God! Who is like my God? Who is like You oh Lord! Who has put the heavens in place and ordained the stars and set the earth upon its foundation?
” I will not let your foot slip says the Lord of Hosts. I am mighty in all My ways and I am like the warrior that will come and make war against your enemies. Do not let your heart fear and do not be overcome by trouble, for I have overcome them by the power of My Word and your testimony of My faithfulness says the Lord.
May the Lord ever be praised. May His Name be on my lips from the rising of the sun to the setting thereof. Many are the plans of man, but only those who stand in My council will prosper says the Lord. Do not look to the world, do not desire her ways, she is come to ruin, but you who declare My name, will have an everlasting inheritance says the Lord
Praise His name! Again I say ‘praise His Holy Name’ For the Lord is mighty in power and strength and forever with me .Selah. Where can I go from the presence of the Lord? If I go to the ends of the earth, He is there, to the stars, to the sea below, but I AM near you, in your mouth and in your heart. I love you says the Lord and nothing shall harm you. I am a faithful God who knows your heart and I will fulfill all My promises to you.Be at peace now my child, for all is well.”
Psm 42 and Psalm 43
Move a Mountain
Friday, October 8th, 2010Who does promise and fulfill all at the right time at the right place?
Who can move a mountain to fulfill their word of faithfulness as promised?
Who pours down righteousness and justice like rain? Who is ever faithful and true?
There is none. No one on earth or in the heavens. No one can be found…. but One…..
His name is Yahuah, the Father of Glory, the Faithful One. Faithful and true is His name. Revelations 10:11 says ” and I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse whose Rider is called Faithful and True”
The word ‘faithfulness’ kept coming up in my heart, as the Lord brought about a change in a situation in our lives that brought astonishment to all who heard of it. God is no respecter of persons. When He makes a proclamation in His Word and you by faith stand on that Word, He WILL be faithful to His Word, as He cannot deny His Word. We become unfaithful when we doubt and become prey to “the sin that so easily besets” .When we look at the circumstance and not stand firm on His Word . That is when we waver and then we stumble. But He can never stumble in His faihfulness for He IS Faithfulness and Truth, that is His name.
Take courage, that however dark it looks and however deep the dispair feels, He already knows the outcome on the other side and that it why we need to STAND FIRM, for if we dont, we nullify our faith and we become like a wave on the ocean being blown here and there by the wind, such a man is a ‘double-minded man’ says the Word and such a ‘man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord’ . A man “unstable in all he does”. God will not take His love or salvation from you , but your unfaithfulness makes you unrighteous and God cannot pour out His blessings upon unrighteousness. Psalm 1 speaks of the man that the Lord blesses. But God has already provided an outcome for our unrighteousness, even our unrighteousness caused by doubt and meditating on the lie of the circumstance. We repent and He is faithful to forgive us and make us righteous before Him.
His Word IS True and You can stand on that Word, for that is ALL that you need for life and godliness. His Word is His Son. His Son is the Word. He is our fulness and completeness, our all in all. Let us take courage. Amen.
2Pet 1:3-11 , James 1:6-12, Hebrews 12: 1-12
Have You forgotten me oh Lord?
Thursday, October 7th, 2010My precious Father, how I truly love your Word, even when my heart has said ” I will hide from the Lord because he has forgotten me.” Yet I cannot go anywhere in my thoughts or my heart from You, as they instinctively draw to you, my Lord and my Salvation. When I thought I could bare it no longer, like a stream of light in a dark place, You sent your rain upon us to sooth the pain. Truly Your Word says ‘ do not rely on Egypt, her horses , her strength’, for such a sin will ‘ be like a high wall collapsing upon you’
Lord forgive us for any such sins before You. We cannot turn back, and why would such a though even arise? Return to what? There is nothing worth living for but You. Father make us ever so much stronger and more resilient and show us Your faithfulness and lovingkindness and we will live!
Food has no taste without You. The rays of the sun are no comfort without You. There is no joy in laughter without You. Everything is pain, dark and gloom, but you are the radiance, the glory! You Lord says to ‘wait on the Lord’ Mine eyes are waiting for you my Lord. To set us completely free from the snare of mammon, to restore us and trample asunder the locusts that have devoured our lives. To set us up on high, to remove the ways of unrighteousness, pride, arrogance and selfishness so that we can bare fruit. To be so heavy with fruit that it bring glory to You oh Father. We cannot come to anything, except by Your willingness, mercy and goodness.
Father we have an undivided heart to serve You. Teach us oh Lord the way in which to go. May our ears hear Your voice to follow in the way You have prepared. Let the meditations of our heart and the words of our mouths be acceptable in Thy sight oh Lord.
“ My child, I shall never forget you. You are engraved on My heart. I know the plans I have for you and you will not be disappointed. Those who follow their own way and forsake the Lord, will fall into a trap and be utterly disappointed. But My children will be lifted up on high and eat the fruit of the land that I have prepared says the Lord. Rejoice that your names are written in the Lambs Book of Life. The time is short and there are much to be done. Strengthen your feeble arms and legs for see I am going before you to make the way. Be of good cheer, let faith rise up in your heart as the work is much and the workers are few. But I have raised up a people for Myself in the last days that will do My will. Be vigilent and watch. Hear My voice and you will know where to go and what to do. I have made you a light in the world and I will brighten that light as you look to Me and My strenght says the Lord of the Host of the armies of heaven. Do not be afraid, for what can man do to you? Only harken to My voice. My Word will be your guide and your shield.“
I give you thanks this day Father. However deep the pain, nothing compares to the pain I feel when Your presence is not within and tangible around. I know You are always with me, because Your Word says so, but Your very near Presence I seek, to have You close to me, like my skin feels the sun on a cold day.
Forgive our sins and iniquities before You . Wash and cleanse us by Your Word. We stand firm on Christ our foundation. ” You are clean, because of the Word spoken to you.” Thank you Father for remembering us.
Merciful Father
Thursday, October 7th, 2010Father of mercy, be merciful to us in our great need. Lord grant us understanding as to the situation so that we will not sin against You.
The Lord is King above all kings and He rules over all sovereigns, circumstance and people and He knows all the thoughts and intentions of the heart. He said that He has already made a way out of the pressing circumstance. Be of good cheer, be of faith and wait for the strong hand of the Lord to do great works before your very eyes. The days are short and evil, do not let your heart be heavy and downcast. Do not run the way of the world in pursuit of help and riches from Egypt, she is their shame. But the Lord is strong and mighty on behalf of the righteous and He will not delay in His plans. Praise the Lord! Let your praises be heard. Make a pleasant way for your feet, for the Lord is not slow as you understand it. He is merciful and perfect in all His ways.
Why do the nations conspire and say ” the Lord does not know?”. He surely does know and He will bring down calamity on the heads of the unrighteous.
Do not focus on the lack, put your hope and faith in the strong arm of the Lord. He will not disappoint you. Many are the disappointments of man by men or his own hand, but not so of the Lord. Amen.
When a storm rises against the righteous
Thursday, October 7th, 2010My Father, oh Holy One of Yasarael, my mind struggles to keep a hold on peace, it is restless and much troubled. I am hard pressed from all sides.
But yet today, I will choose; me and my house, to praise You Yahuwah. Yet today I will choose to sing songs of deliverance to You oh Almighty God. What are we that You are even mindful of us? Where would I want to be on this earth, if not in Your presence? Oh beautiful One, come to Me and fill my heart with songs of deliverance ,and I praise You for I shall see Your deliverance with My own two eyes in front of my face!! Praise Yahuwah, yes my soul praise His set-apart Name! For Yahuwah has wrought victory for us and He will not let us be ashamed!
” When a storm rises against the righteous, Yahuwah raises up a standard against it and judges it with the Words of His mouth. Let no fear or doubt or unbelief come from your tongue, but speak My Words only says Yah. Your enemy will flee and be scattered at your boldness. In the day of calamity when men run to powers and authorities, when men make unholy covenants with Egypt for help, rush their feet to find swift horses for themselves, woe to them! Woe to them who go down to Epypt for help.
But I will raise up a standard in the day of calamity for the righteous , for the one who put his trust in Me and are steadfast in his heart and single-minded in his thought. To him I will raise up a deliverance from the calamity ,such as will astound those whose ears will hear of it. Be strong and of good courage for I am Eloah Yah Im. The Commander of Hosts of the armies of heaven, have already made a way of escape for you says God. Be strong and be bold for no vile thing shall come to your tent. You shall turn and suddenly you shall see them no more for I shall utterly destroy them with the Words of My Mouth says Yahuwah. Be steadfast, be faithful ,for I will never leave or forsake you says Yahuwah . I am a strong tower, the righteous run to Me and are safe“
The standard of the Lord is love and His banner over you is love. Amen.
