July 26 Be careful warriors. Don’t be as one who will listen to anybody who will teach you. Pick your teachers wisely, making sure what they are teaching is in line with the Sacred Writings. Many speak with partial truth, even our enemy, that great trickster does that! Study and know what is right. Avoid arguments that are always trying to get more information but never able to arrive at a recognition and knowledge of the Truth. These counterfeits should be rejected as far as the faith is concerned.

These people will put an end to themselves in due time. For their rashness and glory-seeking will eventually become obvious. But you, warriors, should diligently continue to follow the Beauty Way, knowing your purpose in life, keeping your faith in Creator Yahweh with much patience, love, and steadfastness.

July 25 2015 water Know this! In the last days there will come great stress and trouble that will be most difficult to bear. People will no longer look at how they can love one another, but will be more concerned about how to love themselves. They will be concerned about storing up earthly treasures for themselves. They will be utterly self-centered, proud and arrogant, never delving into the Sacred Writings to find the truth for themselves but believing they already have the answers.

These people are not lovers of truth. They are proud and arrogant. They will no longer honor their grandfathers or show respect for the way of Beauty. They are ungrateful, unholy and profane.

These people are lovers of sensual pleasures and simple amusements more than lovers of Creator Yahweh. They choose walking in pleasure over walking in Beauty. They speak and carry a form of sacredness, but are in truth strangers to the power of genuine Spirit power. They care more for being in the spotlight and having people talk about how spiritual they are.

Avoid these people! Do not let them drag you down into their way of thinking. Soak yourself in the Sacred Writings and continue to walk in Beauty, seeking to honor Creator Yahweh more than yourself.

july 14 water Creator Yahweh has seen the wrong done to us. He will uphold our cause! Call on his name, even from the depths of the darkest pit. He will hear your plea. He will not close his ears though it may sometimes seem as if he has covered himself with a dark cloud that no prayer will penetrate.

Send up your prayers on eagle wings. They will be heard…and not a moment too late, even though sometimes it seems as if all is lost. Ask Creator Yahweh to turn us and restore us to himself. He will renew our days as of old.

July 5 water Warriors do you want to make a difference in this world? Keep walking the beauty way. Do what is right. Never return evil for evil. Don’t scold or berate others. Instead, pray for those who anger and insult you. Pray blessing and happiness on these pitiful people. Yes, this is a difficult thing, but you are warriors! You have been called to inherit a blessing from Creator Yahweh.

Stay on the path and one day you will hear Creator Yahweh say, “Well done good and faithful servant.”

But watch the tongue, for with it mighty fires have been started. And watch the words that pour out on these airwaves. Words hold the power of life and death, and written words are here for all to see. What do your cousins receive from you? Words of life? Or words of death?

June 12 water Creator Yahweh does not train his warriors in tents of ease and luxury. Do not be surprised if you find yourself crawling through muddy paths or across long desert trails that stretch far into the distance. Stark mountain paths are often the place of great testing, and deep waters reveal deeper faith.

Do not look at these trials as though something strange is happening to you. It is an honor to be counted worthy of testing by our Great Chief and Captain. He has an inheritance waiting for you. You have been given a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Yeshua from the dead.

This inheritance is a sure thing. Do not shrink from the fires that will refine your faith and give great honor to our Great Chief and Captain, the Lover of our souls.

June 24 copy Look up warriors! Your redemption is drawing near. Whether it arrives in one hour or one year or a lifetime, it will not be a day late. Your eyes will see the Great Chief in his beauty and view a land that stretches far into the distance. The former terror will be nothing but a memory lost in the past. You will ask yourself, “Where is that chief officer? Where is the one who took our treasures? Where are the ones who counted the number of our people?”

You will see these arrogant people no more, those people of an obscure speech, with their strange, incomprehensible language. Your eyes will behold Creator’s city, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken. There, Creator Yahweh will be our Mighty Chief. It will be a place of broad flowing rivers and streams. This is the city of our Great Chief and Captain, the place where many tongues and nations will dwell together in perfect unity, each person a celebration of the work of Creator Yahweh’s hands.

Creator Yahweh is our Great Chief; wait patiently for him; it is he who will save us.

June 13 water Warriors, have you heard Creator Yahweh’s voice saying, “This is the way, walk in it”?

Do not take a step to the right or the left until you recognize his voice leading the way. Do not rely on horses; do not trust in bow and arrow. Trust only in Creator Yahweh.

Our Great Chief will one day reign in righteousness! Each man and woman will be like a shelter form the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. At that time, the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen. The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.

Listen for his voice. It will be like music to your longing ears.

June 16 water Warriors, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees! In order to walk the Beauty Way we must also walk in the way of love, and this way is often rocky and steep. Danger waits at every bend.

Take courage and make level paths for your feet. Clear the path so that the lame and young ones will be able to find their way behind you. To do this you must work at getting along with each other and loving Creator Yahweh. Take the warm blanket of his generosity and let it fall over all our relatives and friends. Speak words of courage and strength to those of weak hearts. Let them know that Creator Yahweh will save them…and not a day too late.

Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame leap like a deer, and the tongue of the silent shall sing for joy. Falling waters shall break forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. Yahweh. Yahweh. Yahweh. His great love strengthens the weary soul.

June 6 2016 water Love is often expressed in the words we speak. Are words of life coming out of our mouths? Are words of encouragement flowing among our people? Are we building one another up and thinking of others better than ourselves? Are our thoughts pleasing to our Creator Yahweh?

These are questions we must each ask ourselves every morning as the sun spills light on a new day. They are the same questions we ask ourselves when the sun is high in the sky and our mouths have poured forth a stream of words. At night when we lay on our beds, we ask ourselves if we have spoken words of life or words of death. Have our words pleased the One who made us? Have we been able to forgive in the same way he forgave us?

This is a hard thing, but not impossible. All things are possible through Spirit power because of the blood of Yeshua, Jesus, who gave his life for us and covered us with his grace.

June 3 Take heed warriors! Creator Yahweh will not at this time slay our enemies completely lest we as a people forget the great things he has done for us. Our enemies will be trapped and taken in their pride for the cursing and lying they have uttered against us, but they will return at evening to howl and snarl like dogs as they go prowling among our tents.

Do not let their howling strike fear in your heart. Let them wander up and down for food and tarry all night. Their hunger for your blood will never be satisfied.

Creator Yahweh is your strength and defense, your fortress and high tower. His mercy reaches far beyond our understanding. Watch for Yahweh in the evening. Sing praise to him when the sun rises over the hill. Never cease from letting the praise of our Great Chief fall from your heart and lips.
