December 16 water small Warriors, be joyful always! Joy is an act of the heart in response to our Great Chief and Captain. When sorrow falls on us, let us pray. When worry darkens our path, let us pray. When anxiety clinches our hearts, let us pray! Let us pray continually, lifting our thoughts and even our sighs to Creator Yahweh.

Give thanks in all circumstances, whether good or bad, because you know that our Great Chief and Captain cares for us. He is here with us whether we scale sun drenched forests or crawl through stormy canyons; whether we walk with those who love us or those who side with our enemy, that evil trickster.

Creator Yahweh, the One who calls you, is faithful. He will fill you with Spirit power.

December 14 water small Warriors we are daughters and sons of the light and people of the day! We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who walk as sleeping people. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But let us be alert and self controlled. We do this through Spirit power.

Let us put on faith and love as a breastplate and the hope of salvation as a headdress. For our Great Chief and Captain did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through Creator Yahweh, Jesus Yeshua. He died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

Let us encourage one another with these words. Let us speak words of kindness and build each other up. Let us love with the same love Creator Yahweh has loved us with.

December 5 water small Warriors, our Great Chief and Captain will guide us always! He will satisfy our needs in a sun-scorched land. He will strengthen our frame and we will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Call on Creator Yahweh. He is our help and our rear guard. He will hear our cry for help and will say, “Here I Am.”

The day is coming when we will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations. We will be called Repairer of Broken Walls and Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. Let us find joy in Creator Yahweh for his arm is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.

It is our own wrong doing that stands in the way, yet because of his great mercy Jesus Yeshua has broken down every wall, even the wall of our wrong doing. Delight yourself in our Great Chief and Captain and he will make you to ride on the high places of the earth. He will satisfy our hunger with good things. Call on Creator Yahweh. He will answer. He is our peace.

December 4 water small Warriors, let us do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk. Let us, instead, encourage one another and stir up the gifts Creator Yahweh has given us. Let us spend ourselves on behalf of the hungry and strive to satisfy the needs of the oppressed. By doing these things our light will rise in the darkness so that even the night will shine like noonday.

Creator Yahweh, Jesus Yeshua, is the Light of the world. Warriors who follow him will never walk in darkness. Instead, they will shine with the Light of life, because they walk in Spirit power.

Yet this is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men and women loved darkness more than Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and will not come into the Light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the Light so that it may be seen plainly that whatever they have done has been done through our Great Chief and Captain.

December 3 water small Many mighty warriors have fallen and been laid to rest. We cry and we mourn because of our great loss, and that is an honorable thing, but do we ponder this in our hearts…that merciful and faithful warriors are taken away to escape the evil that is coming our way. Those who walk with Creator Yahweh leave the cares and troubles of this world and enter into peace when they take their last breath. They enter through heaven’s gate hearing the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

This is because our Great Chief and Captain lives in a high and lofty place far above the stars; He inhabits eternity and his name is Holy. Without him was nothing made that was made. He is the Creator of all things. But he also lives within our hearts. He is with the lowly and contrite in heart. He will revive the spirits of warriors who feel faint and are nearly consumed. He also revives the hearts of warriors who are bruised with sorrow for a mountain of wrongs. He will guide us and restore peace and comfort to us, creating praise on the lips of those who now mourn.

Stand firm, mighty warriors. We are called as a unique people to serve Creator Yahweh with all our heart and strength. Sorrow follows us through the night but joy comes in the morning.

December 2 water Warriors, have you put on your full armor? It is important that we have the belt of truth buckled around our waists and the breastplate of righteousness in place. Righteousness is the free gift offered by Jesus Yeshua, and truth is found in the Sacred Writings given to us by our Great Chief and Captain. Our moccasins must be fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace given to us by Creator Yahweh and our headdress is the protection of his salvation that is also given freely to all warriors who trust in him. We must also pick up the shield of faith, which will extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil trickster. Then we must pick up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of our Great Chief and Captain.

Once we have done all this, let us stand firm with everything in place. Then when the day of evil comes, as it soon will, we will be able to stand our ground and pray in the Spirit with all kinds of prayers and requests. With all this in mind, we must be alert and always keep praying for one another.

December 1 water Warriors, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power! Put on the full armor of our Great Chief and Captain so that you can take your stand against the enemy, that evil trickster. Remember always that our fight is not against flesh and blood. It is against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Sometimes it is good to remember past wrongs so that the evil parts of history will not be repeated, but be careful! Do not allow bitterness to overtake you or you will lose your joy and any hope of restoration. Approve the good and be thankful at all times, for there is much to be thankful for. And continue to fight your battles in the spiritual realm where true restoration takes place.

November 30 water Remember warriors, to be very careful how you live, not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity. Your life on this earth road is short, not much more than a vapor. Creator Yahweh has placed you here for a unique purpose. Make it your goal to find out what that purpose is and to walk in it in Spirit power.

Do not get drunk on wine, but be filled with the Spirit! Such a filling of Spirit will make you dance for joy. Speak to one another with traditional songs and new songs. Let the faithfulness of our Great Chief and Captain be made known. Pass down the old stories and let your story be heard by your children. Sing and make music in your heart to Creator Yahweh, always giving thanks for everything. And while you do these things, be sure to submit to one another in love, for love covers over a multitude of wrong doing.

November 29 water Take heart warriors! There is coming a day when we will go out with joy and be led forth in peace. The mountains and the hills will break forth into singing before you. All the trees of the field will clap their hands. On this great day the briars and thornbrush will cease to grow and great forests will stretch before us.

While we are waiting for this glorious day, let us maintain justice and do what is right. For this day could come at any moment, in the twinkling of an eye, everything can change.

Creator Yahweh’s salvation is close at hand! His righteousness will soon be revealed. Blessed are the warriors who hold fast to this promise and keep their hands from doing any evil.

November 28 water Do not forget warriors, as far as the heavens are above the earth, so are the ways of Creator Yahweh higher than our ways and his thoughts higher than our thoughts. His thoughts are not anything like our thoughts. Rain pours from the clouds and snow covers the earth, and neither rain nor snow return to heaven without first watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and nourishment for the gatherer.

So it is with the words found in the Sacred Writings, which are the very words of our Great Chief and Captain. His words will accomplish his desires and will achieve the purposes for which he sent it. His words hold life for us! By them we are warned from walking the Sorrow Way. By them we see the way ahead one step at a time. By them we find nourishment for our souls. Trust in the thoughts and the words and the promises of Creator Yahweh. They will accomplish great things in the lives of warriors who heed them.
