Listen warriors, this is the message and promise our ancestors have heard from the beginning: Creator Yahweh is Light, and in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to be faithful warriors of our Great Chief in Captain and we continue to walk in darkness, then we are not claiming the truth.

But if we walk in the Light as Creator is in the light, then we will have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Yeshua cleanses us from all guilt of wrong-doing. And the amazing thing is that he keeps us cleansed from all darkness in all its forms and manifestations.

Yahweh. Yahweh. Yahweh. All praise to our Creator!

Do you want a life of joy warriors! Then make it your ambition to love Creator Yahweh with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Climb the Sacred Mountain (whether in Spirit or in the body) and discover Creator in the span of a far-seeing place. Hear his voice upon the wind singing through the trees and recognize his touch when he heals you through Spirit power.

As you walk the Faith Way, thank Creator Yahweh for the many crossroads where you see his perfect leading, even in times of sorrow. As you see his love for you, you will be able to love others more and more.  As you love others you will come to understand what a treasure you are to your Great Chief and Captain. In this way your joy will be made complete.

Creator Yahweh has instructed you, warriors, on how to walk in Beauty. Now I urge you to do so more and more. It is Creator’s will that you should be holy; that you should avoid sexual immorality and that you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable. Do not give in to passionate lust.

This is a difficult thing to do in your own strength, but you have been bought with a price! You no longer belong to the old way of thinking. You are now able to walk in Spirit power! Call upon Holy Spirit. Choose to deny yourself and follow Creator Yahweh. It is in losing ourselves that we discover the true freedom of Eagle power.

We are Spirit people! Because of the blood of Jesus Yeshua we can stand before Creator Yahweh completely clean and accepted. Not for anything we do, but because the law of the Spirit of life has freed us from the law of sin and death. This is a good reason to beat the drum and dance before our Great Chief and Captain!

Do not listen to the lies of our enemy, that evil trickster, who tells you that you are unworthy. Creator Yahweh has done what the law could not do by sending his own Son in the form of a man so that the righteous and just requirement of the law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit.

Yes. We make mistakes. Yes we do wrong, but we are no longer controlled by the flesh. Spirit power is now our master. Rebuke your enemy and stand in the glory of Creator Yahweh.

Take note warriors, we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of our relatives who are weak in spirit and body and not just seek to please ourselves. Let us make it our goal to bring happiness to our neighbors for their good and welfare, to edify and strengthen them and to build them up spiritually. Jesus Yeshua set an example for us to follow in this matter, and the Sacred Writings encourage us in our steadfast endurance so that we can hold fast to the hope Creator has given us.

Together, with one voice and united hearts, let us praise and glorify our Great Chief and Captain and Father of our Lord Jesus Yeshua, the Messiah. Let us welcome and receive one another for the glory of Creator Yahweh.

Be careful warriors, to welcome all your weaker brothers and sisters and cousins who love Creator Yahweh. Do not criticize their opinions or pass judgment on their choices or perplex them with religious discussions. Such things are not part of walking the beauty way. It is not our place to judge the servants of our Great Chief and Captain.  It is before Creator Yahweh that each of us will give an account of our own convictions and actions.

So, let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but instead let us firmly decide and endeavor to never put a stumbling block, or an obstacle, or a hindrance in the way of a fellow warrior. Let us love one another as Creator Yahweh loves us and let us pursue what is good for harmony and for mutual encouragement of one another. This is a good way to walk in beauty.

In the heat of the battle dog soldiers stake themselves to the ground and fight until the battle is either lost or won. They are like standing trees that have been torn apart and twisted by fierce winds, but these are the strongest of trees that stand long after the storm is spent.

Jesus Yeshua is the strongest Dog Soldier of all, placing himself between us and the fiercest of enemies.

Seek the faith of a dog soldier, for it is this faith that will carry you through the strongest spiritual storms. Faith grows during these storms.  Unbelief looks at Creator Yahweh through the circumstances of life that drag us down. But a dog soldier of faith looks at the circumstances through Jesus Yeshua knowing that Creator Yahweh will not allow the enemy to come too close. That evil trickster may break the body but he cannot break the soul.

Warriors, never forget that our Great Chief and Captain is our shield and sun! Those who look to him are radiant with his glory. Do not look to lesser things to receive your reward, for a day in his presence is better than a thousand anywhere else. Be careful not to spend yourself for pleasure that lasts but a short season. It is better to be a doorkeeper in the house of Creator Yahweh than to dwell at ease and comfort in the tents of wickedness. 

Creator bestows favor and honor on his faithful warriors and preserves every good thing for those who walk uprightly before him. How happy, fortunate, and to be envied are all who lean into our Great Chief and Captain. Let us commit our way to him and trust him with all confidence.

How happy, fortunate, and to be envied are all who find their strength in Creator Yahweh. This is the strength of a true warrior, one who has set their heart on following our great Chief and Captain. When we pass through the valley of sorrows, they will become a place of unending springs, falling water that will cleanse and heal our people. We will go from strength to strength until the whole assembly of our people stands before our Great Leader.

Take note, warriors, when you have looked in all four directions and have failed to catch a glimpse of Creator Yahweh, he still sees and knows the way you take. Can you say that when he has tested you, you will come forth as gold; that your feet have closely followed his steps? That you have kept to his way without turning aside and have not departed from his commands?

Make it your goal to treasure the words of Creator’s mouth more than daily bread. This is the strength that will heal our people.

How lovely is the dwelling place of Creator Yahweh our Lord Almighty! My soul yearns and is homesick for the courts of my Chief and Captain, yet his Spirit dwells inside my very soul. My heart and my flesh cry out and sing for joy to the Living God! Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself where she may have her young in safety close to the altar of Creator Yahweh.

How happy, fortunate, and to be envied are all who dwell in the presence of Creator Yahweh. Let us dance our prayers before him knowing he cares for his people and loves us with an everlasting love.
