Warriors, it is good for us to keep in mind that Creator Yahweh has given us everything we need for life and walking the Beauty Way. Our Great Chief and Captain has given us knowledge of Jesus Yeshua who called us by his own glory and goodness.

We have received great promises worth more than all the riches in this world. Through these great promises we taste of Creator Yahweh’s divine nature and through Spirit power we are able to escape the corruption in this world that is caused by our lust. It is not enough to merely taste of this divine nature, we must participate in it by calling out to Spirit Power at all times. Let us not lust after anything other than the supreme calling of knowing and serving our faithful Creator.

Warriors, do you not know that Creator Yahweh longs to comfort us? We are his people and the sheep of his pasture. He speaks tenderly to us and proclaims that our hard service has been completed; all our sins and wrong doings have been paid in full through the blood of Jesus Yeshua.

A voice calls out in the desert preparing the way of Beauty, making a straight, smooth path through the wilderness, a highway for our Great Chief and Captain. Every valley shall be raised up and every mountain made low. The rough and rugged ground will be changed so that our moccasins will travel smooth ground. The glory of Creator Yahweh will be revealed, and all tribes and nations will see it with their own eyes.

This is our sure hope warriors. Soon we shall see our Creator Yahweh face to face! Let us run the race as young calves let out of the stall.

Warriors! This is the day Creator Yahweh has made let us rejoice and be glad! We have breath. We have life. These are things to be grateful for. The Stone the builders rejected has now become our capstone of a sure foundation. No matter how strong the force that shakes us this foundation of our Great Chief and Captain will remain. He has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes!

Creator Yahweh is our strength! He is our song! He is the reason we breathe! He is light breaking through! Darkness flees before him. He is our Creator God. We are His people! We are loved! We have life!

Let us give thanks to Creator Yahweh for his love endures forever.

Do you feel pushed back and about to fall warriors! Do not be afraid. Creator Yahweh will help you. He is our strength and song. Let HIM become your salvation.

Let shouts of joy and victory resound in our tents. Let us beat the drum and raise our voices saying, “Our Great Chief and Captain has done mighty things! His right hand is lifted high! We will not die, but live, and will proclaim the victorious deeds of Creator Yahweh.

Yes we have suffered and cried out in our anguish, but Jesus Yeshua will answer by setting us free! It is better to take refuge in our Great Chief and Captain than it is to trust any man. All the nations may surround us but in the name of Creator Yahweh we will cut them off, even when they surround us on every side.

Do not fear those who can only harm the body. Read the Sacred Writings and dance your prayers. This is the way to nourish your soul.

There is no task too large, no problem too small, warriors, for Creator Yahweh. He spoke the heavens into existence and maintains love and justice to thousands upon thousands, forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. He counts the stars one and all and knows when the doe gives birth to her fawn. He provides food for the birds of the air and clothes the fields with living color. He calls us each by name and numbers the hairs on our heads.

What is it you fear? Are there any giants too big for our Great Chief and Captain? Is there anything that is outside His Spirit where all things receive life? Is there anything He does not already know?

Let us give Him our hearts, our souls and our minds. Let us walk before him in beauty all of our days. When we stray let us turn and find him there. When we fall let us reach out and feel his strength. When we hurt let us cry out to the ONE who knows the deepest part of us.  This is the BEAUTIFUL GREAT ONE we serve, warriors…above all, in all, through all.

Warriors, shame is the nemesis that plagues recovering people, and many of us are in the recovering stage. When we were children we learned to hide certain parts of ourselves. When these parts became overly dependent or independent, full of rage, too playful, too full of will, or too free, too curious, too spiritually knowing, or too imaginative they were rejected by those upon whom we relied to feed, clothe and protect us.

So what could we do but push them down?

That is why it is important to know and learn the Sacred Writings. Because as we deal with this inner child, we can replace the lies we have long believed with the truth of the Word of our Great Chief and Captain! It is then we can also receive healing from Holy Spirit along with forgiveness for any wrongs we actually committed. This is the path toward restoration.

Warriors, we begin a new year, sometimes with enthusiasm and sometimes with dread. Often we have no idea of where we are to go or what we are to do. Yet we have a mission here on earth and it is also one that we share with the rest of the human race. But it is no less our individual mission, given to each of us by our Great Chief and Captain.

Our mission is this…while we are doing and while we are going…we are to do what we can moment by moment day by day, step by step to make the world a better place. We do this by following the leading and guidance of God’s Spirit within us and around us. For not only has our great Chief and Captain placed his Holy Spirit within us, but we also live and move and have our being in Him.

This is an amazing thing warriors, and we will not fully understand it until we are clothed in glory standing before Creator Yahweh. He has given us the strength we need to walk the Beauty Way. It is our choice to take the first step.

Warriors, are you having trouble letting go of the past? Yes. There are many things for which our spirits yearn. We desire the return of the ancient ways when our lives revolved around creation and one another, where we worked in community and shared all good things. Yet often in our remembering we forget that the evil trickster also walked those paths and that the human condition touched our people with pride and brokenness just as it does the rest of the human race. So, if we remember the past, we must remember both the good and the bad.

Let us consider a better way. A way of holding onto the good of the ancient ways and moving forward to a more desirable and beautiful village…the village for which our hearts yearn and groan in expectation. This is the village that Jesus Yeshua is preparing for us and it lies before not behind.

If we are homesick for the old way of life, then we will have opportunity to return to it, but there is a much better place toward which we journey and we must move toward it with all diligence! This means we move forward wholly, speedily and with all eagerness. Let us do this together as we serve our Great Chief and Captain with our whole hearts. This is the beauty of walking the Jesus Way.

Yes, warriors, Creator Yahweh raises the dead, and we were once dead in the way we used to live. But we were created to be a spiritual people. Therefore, the nurture of the Spirit ought to be a priority in our lives. Every day we should dive into the Sacred Writings and let them take root in our soul. By living in such a way we leave fleshly wisdom behind and walk in the grace of Creator Yahweh with sincerity and a pure heart. This is a choice and not a difficult thing to do, for it is our Great Chief and Captain that keeps, strengthens and delivers us from the old way of walking in darkness.

Call on Creator Yahweh for help! For his promises are always “yes,” and he has anointed us and set his seal upon us. Not only that, but he has also placed his Holy Spirit in our hearts as a deposit of what is to come. It is our Great Chief and Captain who gives us the strength and ability to continue walking in the way of Beauty. Praise him with your whole heart. He reigns above all!

I love Creator Yahweh because he always hears my voice. He has heard my cry for mercy and has turned his ear to me. I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death entangled me. I was overcome by dread of the place of the dead. I walked the way of sorrow. But then, I called on the name of my Great Chief and Captain, “Save me!” He parted the heavens and came down. He drew me out of many waters.

Creator Yahweh is gracious and kind. He is completely righteous and forgiving. When I was brought low, he saved me. Return to your rest, weary warriors, for Creator Yahweh has been good to you.
