Love must be sincere, warriors, loving first Creator Yahweh and then loving each other. Let us not love with words and tongue only, but with actions and in truth. As far as our enemies, let us bless those who persecute us. This is impossible in our own strength, but through Holy Spirit power we can do all things.

Let us mourn with those who mourn, raining our tears alongside theirs instead of giving a lecture on how to they can get past their sorrow. Instead, let us hold our tongues and weep with those who weep.

Conversely, when a brother or sister or auntie or uncle comes into a season of rejoicing, let us rejoice with them and dance with all our might. Let the truth of the Sacred Writings fill hungry souls as we walk the paths of promise and prayer.

Courage, warriors! Together we are a standing tree that cannot be destroyed because of its fruit. Let all nations come and eat freely. In this way you will encourage your brothers and sisters and aunties and uncles and heap burning coals on the heads of your enemy.

In this present battle, you need no bow and arrow. Put away knife and spear. If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

As the Sacred Writings say, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” To do this, you must keep a listening ear and a heart that is not quick to judge.

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Don’t forget, warriors, that there are many paths winding through a battle. Some paths lead to sorrow and destruction; other paths lead to heartache and ruin; some paths lead to the other side but at too great a cost. The path of prayer leads to victory where we either see the answer to the object of our prayers or faith fills our hearts with sight beyond what we see with our eyes.

This path of prayer is one of perseverance in intercession. We raise our petitions, and our hearts continue to cry out until Creator Yahweh gives us complete assurance . Then, and only then, it is okay to rest.

Someone has said, “Wait at God’s promise until he meets you there, for he always returns by the path of his promises.” This is a good word for warriors traveling the path of prayer, because often the paths of prayer and promise are one and the same. Follow the path of prayer until the promise is revealed.

Yes, warriors, we had questions, but now our mouths are shut. We had heard of the wonders of Creator Yahweh, but like those who dream we woke to confusion and fear. Yet Creator Yahweh continues to number our days. Before a word is on our tongues, he knows it completely. He hunts the prey for the lioness. He counts the months till the doe bears her fawn. His thoughts of us outnumber the grains of the sand.

Take another look, warriors, and catch a glimpse of him, for just a glimpse is enough to hang our heads and say, “Oh, I didn’t realize. I put a hand over my mouth. I spoke once, twice, but I will say no more. Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.”

That is the truth of it, warriors, Creator Yahweh can do all things; no plan of his can be thwarted. Our Redeemer and Restorer lives! Our eyes will yet see him in all his glory! How my heart yearns within me.

Yes warriors, we are often misunderstood, even regarded as imposters, especially for our faith in Creator Yahweh. Yet we continue to carry the light of heaven in our souls. Creator Yahweh lives and walks among our people. He is our God and there is none other like him. He has called us his sons and daughters and separated us as a people.

Since we are his children, fellow warriors, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit. Let us set aside the ways of those who do not walk in beauty and let us endeavor to perfect holiness out of reverence for Creator Yahweh. This is the way of walking in beauty.

Do you have questions warrior? Remember our brother Job in the Sacred Writings who faced a day worse than any we have ever known. One after another, his servants arrived to tell him of how he had lost his huge herd of oxen, sheep and camels. Then the worst news came that all of his children had died in a single day. In all these losses Job remained true in his devotion to Creator Yahweh. Not so, when Creator allowed the enemy to touch his body with terrible boils. Though Job never cursed God, he certainly had his questions.

What questions do you have? Yes, troubled warrior, we can take them to Creator Yahweh, but the better way, the way of blessing is to trust in Creator Yahweh’s goodness. To believe in the deepest part of our souls that he is good and that he can bring good out of the worst of our troubles. The enemy means these sorrows and troubles for our harm, but Creator Yahweh means them for good. This is a hard thing, but through Spirit power we can accomplish it.

It is time, warriors, to seek Creator Yahweh. Do not give up until he comes and showers his gift of righteousness on you. Let us break up our uncultivated ground and inquire of him how he would have us live. Let seeds of righteousness take root and feed all who come near. Let us no longer eat the fruit of our lies or trust in our own strength or the strength of many warriors.

It is Creator Yahweh who taught us how to walk. He takes us in his arms and heals us. He has lifted the yoke from our necks and bends down to feed us with his living word.

Yes, warriors, we can live in his presence! Today, tomorrow, the rest of eternity. Let shouts of praise and joy rise from each of his unique children as we join in the dance with all of creation! Creator Yahweh is our God and we are his people. Let shouts of victory resound in the camp!

Strengthen your courage, warriors!  Our troubles and sorrows are also temporary and fading away. There is a greater beauty, a greater splendor, a greater glory that awaits us.

Time is short and our troubles are as nothing in comparison with the eternal purpose Creator Yahweh has designed for us. When put on the balance, the glory of our eternal purpose far outweighs all our sorrows and makes them light and momentary. Fix your eyes on what is unseen! Fix your eyes on Spirit! For everything we see with human eyes is temporary. What is unseen is eternal.

How can young warriors keep on the Beauty Way? The same as old warriors. By living our lives according to the Sacred Writings and seeking Creator Yahweh with all our hearts. By not straying from the commands of our Great Chief and Captain, for His commands are not heavy, but are meant to bring great delight to our souls.

Let us hide the words of the Sacred Writings in our hearts! These words will light the way before us and help us get back on track even after we have lost our way. They help us to walk rightly before our Great Chief and Captain, not turning to the right or the left.

The words of Creator Yahweh are life and light and beauty.

Are you laid low warriors? Dive into the Sacred Writings, light the sage, call out on Creator Yahweh and He will renew your life. Recount the ways He has answered you in the past, the many times He has lifted you on eagle wings and carried you to a safe place. Ask for understanding as you meditate on His wonders, the mighty works He has performed.

Look at the heavens and see! Before one star came into being He thought it. When He spoke, the thought came into life. His thoughts hold everything together. If He neglected to think of us for one second, we would cease to exist. His thoughts about us outnumber the grains of sand on all the beaches of the world. His thoughts will continue throughout eternity.

Who are we to question Him when we’ve seen such great wonders!
