January 20 water Warriors, it is good for us to remind each other of the Sacred Writings. The ancients who followed closely with Jesus Yeshua did not invent clever stories to mislead us. No! They passed down the truth from those who walked and talked with Creator Yahweh. They were eyewitnesses of his majesty. They heard the voice of our Great Chief and Captain while they stood with Jesus Yeshua on the Sacred Mountain.

And what is this word of truth? It is this, that we are steeped in darkness and in great need of a savior, and that savior has come into the world to save that which was lost.

This Word of Truth is made certain like a light shining in a dark cave. These ancients spoke not of their own will but only as they were carried along with Holy Spirit. They proclaimed to us that there is no darkness at all in Creator Yahweh. If we walk with Him then there will be no darkness in us, because we will walk in the light, as he is in the light ,and the blood of Jesus Yeshua purifies us from all sin.

Stand true warriors! This walk is like the morning star rising in our hearts!

January 19 water Warriors, let us make every effort to guard our faith in Creator Yahweh. Then let us add to our faith “goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control, and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness, and to godliness, brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness, love.” Let us check ourselves often to see if this is the way our minds are traveling.

If we are lacking in self-control then let us go back and start over, building our faith through reading of the Sacred Writings. Let us climb the Sacred Mountain, whether in body or in spirit, and soak in the essence of our Great Chief and Captain. Let us serve him with everything in us.

When we walk this way, we will never fall! And we have a rich welcome into the eternal land of our Lord and Savior Jesus Yeshua, the Christ.

January 18 water 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.

january 17 water small 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.

january 16 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.

january 15 water 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.

january 14 water 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 that 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.

january 13 Are you weary warriors? Does sorrow bend your head low? Take hope!

There is coming a day when our Great Chief and Captain will come to judge the earth, and he will do so in perfect rightness. There is no shadow of turning in Creator Yahweh. He will judge the world in righteousness and every tribe and nation in his perfect truth. He will pour out his faithfulness on all people.

At that time the heavens will rejoice and the earth will be glad. No longer will the earth be subject to decay and death. Sickness and sorrow will flee at the sound of HIS voice. The sea will resound and all that is in it; the flowers of the fields will be jubilant and all that is in them! Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy at the coming of our Great Chief and Captain.

This great day is coming warriors, and it will not be a day late! Let us take courage and stand strong in Spirit power and the strength of Creator Yahweh.

January 12 water Warriors, let us sing a new song to our Great Chief and Captain. Strike up the drum and dance your prayers all the earth! Let us shout the praise of Creator Yahweh with all our hearts and proclaim his salvation and greatness day after day. Let us declare his great glory so it is heard throughout the earth, his marvelous deeds among all tribes of all nations.

For great is Creator Yahweh and most worthy of praise; he is to be reverenced above all things! For he alone made the heavens , everything we see and don’t see. Splendor and majesty shine before him, strength and glory fill his sanctuary.” Yahweh. Yahweh. Yahweh. Let us revere his wonderful name.

January 11 Warriors, let us not forget the teachings of Creator Yahweh, but let us keep his commands in our hearts. Abiding by the words of Jesus Yeshua will bring us riches far greater than things money can buy.

Let love and faithfulness never leave us! Let us be known as warriors who love one another and who are faithful in all our promises. In this way we will win favor and a good name in the sight of our Great Chief and Captain and also among our people. This is the way the ancients walked when they trusted in Creator Yahweh with all their hearts.

Let us do the same, warriors, not leaning on our own understanding. Let us climb the Sacred Mountain, whether in body or in spirit, and commit our path to our Great Chief and Captain. If we put our trust in him, he will make our paths straight and keep us walking the Beauty Way.
