Creator Yahweh will not turn away a broken and contrite heart. Take care and be on guard for yourselves and the whole tribe over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as a minister and guardian. Look after the young ones and ignite the fire of hope in their hearts. Feed them with the Sacred Writings and return their hearts to their fathers. Remind the fathers that Creator Yahweh bought them with his own blood. Warn them of the ferocious wolves that will get in among you and who will not spare the young and weak ones.

Be alert and on guard! Never stop night or day seriously admonishing and advising and exhorting each other with tears. We are a tribal people. We need each other. Do not believe the lies of the enemy that tell you otherwise. Love, even as Creator Yahweh loves you.

Rest in his love. Live in his hope. Walk in his strength.

Warriors! This is a day to attempt great things for Creator Yahweh, but first we must take His faith in order to believe that we can do great things, and then we must take his strength in order to accomplish great things for him. It is his work, not ours that will accomplish the task. It is his faith that encourages our hearts. It is his strength that keeps us going when all else falls away.

Let us be bold! Let us expect great things from Creator Yahweh! He is above all and through all and in all. He made the stars! And he has chosen us for just such a time as this and assigned each of us a unique task. Together there is nothing that we cannot accomplish through him.

With such a one as this it is easier to take hold of a lot than it is to take a little, so with arms open wide, let us take hold. But take heed, warriors, this taking is not for our own wishes but for the working of the task he has assigned us. The longer we walk the Jesus Way the more these two become one—his wishes become ours. Today, let us choose to walk in beauty.

Warriors, do you know what your life is about? What is worth fighting for? What forces compel you to act? What convictions mark you as a warrior of integrity?

In the Sacred Writings, Paul talks about being compelled by the Holy Spirit to go to Jerusalem. He admits that in every city the Holy Spirit warned him that prison and hardships and suffering were facing him, yet he still chose to go. This is an amazing faith that is born of strong convictions and empowered through the Holy Spirit. He considered his life as nothing, but wanted only to finish the race and complete the task that Jesus Yeshua had assigned him—the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.

What task have you been assigned? What is in your hand? Take that task and that tool and charge with Spirit power!

Warriors, before you offer the sweet smell of tobacco and sage, humble yourself before Creator Yahweh. Before you offer him the sacrifice of dancing your prayers, open your hearts before him. Let your hearts be broken with a river of sorrow because of the offenses we have committed against our Great Chief and Captain, for they are many. A broken and contrite heart he will not turn away.

Create in us a pure heart, O Creator Yahweh! Renew a steadfast spirit within our people and let us walk in the way of beauty. Do not cast our people away from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of your salvation and renew a right spirit within our tribes and nations. Let our tongues sing of your righteousness. Open our lips to declare your glorious praise!

Creator Yahweh always begins his work with broken hearts, people who will cry out to him for mercy according to his unfailing love; people who will call out upon his great compassion to blot out all their wrong doings and cleanse them from all their evil ways.

Warriors, do not try to hide bloodguilt from Creator Yahweh. If you have done wrong, tell him so, for he desires truth in the secret places. If you ask, he will teach you truth in the inner rooms where no one else sees. Let him cleanse you with hyssop and sage so that you will be clean as falling water, let him wash you with his own blood so that you will be whiter than snow. This is a good way of beginning to walk in beauty.

There is no one like Creator Yahweh, who rides on the heavens to help you. See his majesty as he rides on the clouds in his glory! He is the eternal Spirit, our refuge. And underneath are the everlasting arms that hold us up.

He will drive out your enemies before you, so you and your people will live in safety near falling water where the heavens drop dew. You will have no lack of any good thing.

Who is like you, a people saved by Yeshua? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. With a mighty bow and arrow he will scatter your enemies so that they cower before you, and you will trample them beneath your feet. Give praise to Creator Yahweh, our Great Chief and Captain. Yahweh. Yahweh. Yahweh. What he has promised he will make happen, and not a day too late.

Warriors, do not cower in fear when confronting your enemy. Creator Yahweh will gird you with strength so that you will pursue your enemies and crush them. You will beat them as fine dust beneath your feet. You will trample them like mud in the streets. For your enemies are not flesh and blood, but the principalities and powers of the dark world. They will lose heart and come trembling before you from their strongholds.

Creator Yahweh lives! Praise be to our Rock! Exalted be Creator, the Rock, our Savior! He is the God who avenges our people and sets us free from our enemies. Lift up shouts of joy and dance before our Great Chief who goes before us in battle.

Creator Yahweh is the lamp that turns your darkest hours into glorious light. His way is perfect and his word carries no flaw. He is the rock on which our feet stand. He arms you with strength and shows you how to walk in beauty. Whether leading through stormy, dark, forests of threatening wilderness or across wooded valleys teaming with life, his way is always perfect. For he takes what the enemy means for harm in our lives and uses it for good.

Who is Yahweh besides Creator? It is Creator Yahweh who arms you with strength and makes your way perfect. Let him broaden the pathway before you so that your ankles do not turn.

Warriors, do you know that Creator Yahweh takes delight in you? See! Even now, he rides upon the wings of the wind to come to your rescue. His voice thunders from heaven as he sends out arrows to scatter your enemies. He created you just as you are. He does not ask you to conform to another’s idea of how you should walk. He has already set a path before you and equips you with everything you need to walk it.

Take joy in his delight over you. Break out in song when he delivers you from your enemy, from those who hated you, the ones who were too strong for you. He is your shield. Trust and take refuge in him.
