November 27 water Warriors take time to seek Creator Yahweh while he may be found; call upon him while he is near. Things will not always be as they are now. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil person their thoughts. Let us all turn to our Great Chief and Captain for he will have mercy on us. Let us turn to our God, for he will freely pardon.

Warriors, I pray that Creator Yahweh will answer you whenever you are in distress. Lift your voice to him, for his very name offers you protection. Our Great Chief and Captain will send you help from the sanctuary of the stars and grant you all the support you need. He will not forget the sweet fragrance of your offerings. I pray that he will give you all the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

November 26 water We have much to be thankful for warriors. Creator Yahweh has called us by name! Our Maker is like a husband to us, keeping our house together. Let us be thankful for his unfailing love that can never be shaken, for his everlasting kindness and compassion, and for his covenant of peace that will never be removed. Our Great Chief and Captain will enlarge our tents and strengthen our stakes, spreading us out to the right and to the left. Our descendants will settle throughout the earth.

Let us praise the name of Creator Yahweh because he has taken away our fear and has filled us with Spirit power so that we will forget the shame of our youth. He has called us back to himself and has promised true restoration for those who acknowledge him in word and Spirit.

Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song! Shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband. Our Great Chief and Captain is our Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.

November 25 water Do not forget warriors, that Creator Yahweh fills heaven and earth. There is no place near or far that he does not see. There is no secret place that he cannot find us. Before a word was ever on our tongues, he knew us; he called us by name.

Let us stand in the council of our Great Chief and Captain, then we will be able to proclaim his words to our people and help turn them from walking the Sorrow Way. His words are like a fire, burning in our hearts. His promises give us a hope and a future. There is coming a day when he will build us up and not tear us down; he will plant us and not uproot us. He is giving us a heart to know him as our Great Chief and Captain.

Take hope warriors! Creator Yahweh is preparing a place for us, a land free and spacious, for we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

November 24 water Warriors, Let us make sure we know the Sacred Writings well enough so that we can tell the difference between the truth and a lie. Not every spirit that speaks is from our Great Chief and Captain. Some prophets will fill us with false hopes, speaking visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of Creator Yahweh. They will tell us everything we long to hear, but they are living a lie.

Dreams and visions from Creator Yahweh will always align with the words in his Sacred Writings. They will strengthen the hands of the poor and needy and give real hope to those in despair. They will not promise what cannot be attained.

Let us speak about what we know and what we have seen. Let us proclaim Words of Life, the Eternal Life, Jesus Yeshua who was with the Father and has appeared to our ancestors. May we be a people who speak faithfully the words of our Great Chief and Captain. In this way we will give life to one another and walk in Light.

November 23 water Warriors, be careful that whatever you do is done on the foundation of righteousness and never by injustice. Do what is right and just. Never give up defending the cause of the poor and needy. This is what it means to know Creator Yahweh. We should not love with word and with tongue but with action and in deed and sincerity. If you see a brother or sister in need do what you can to help. By this we will come to know and understand that we are of the Truth.

Do not be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to Life, because we love our bothers and sisters. Anyone who does not love remains, is held, and kept continually in spiritual death. Anyone who hates his brother or sister is at heart a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

Let us love one another. If you cannot get beyond hate, then climb the Sacred Mountain, whether in body or in Spirit, and ask Creator Yahweh for his love to work through you. He will set your heart at rest in his presence.

November 21 water Creator Yahweh is the Light and in him is no darkness at all. Let us purpose to do nothing that will separate us from his great Light. Let us be very careful then, how we live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity. If we live in the Light we will have nothing to do will shameful and evil practices that will tear our families apart and rob our souls of beauty.

Warriors, we have long known that walking the alcohol way is not a good thing. It is one of the things that keeps us in the darkness. We may tell ourselves that we can handle it, that the demons of alcohol will not grab us but in our hearts we know the truth. There is no light or beauty in hiding our souls in such a way. Let us come into the Light!

Let us look to our Great Chief and Captain and climb the Sacred Mountain, whether in body or in Spirit, and discover his unique purpose for us. If we seek him in this, he will lead us, one step at a time, until at last we know we have entered into the Beauty Way.

November 22 water Warriors, do not forget that fasting and ritual is more than about food and rules. The Sacred Writings tell us what our Great Chief and Captain truly wants of us…to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of those in bondage. He desires to see the oppressed go free and that we break every yoke that holds his people back.

Let us care for one another. Let us share our food with the hungry and provide shelter for those in need. Let us not turn away our own flesh and blood!

This is the desire of Creator Yahweh to see us loving him and loving others, not just in word, but in action and in truth. When we do these things our light will break forth like the dawn and healing and restoration will quickly take place.

November 20 water Do not forget, Warriors, that the Law found in the Sacred Writings is perfect. Through it, our tired, thirsty souls are revived and restored. We are brought back to life! We can trust the testimony of our Great Chief and Captain. It is sure, making wise the simple. His teachings for personal conduct are completely right. When we follow them our heart is full of rejoicing!

It is good to hold reverent fear when we read the precepts of our Great Chief and Captain. Such holy fear makes us clean and endures forever. The ordinances decreed by Creator Yahweh are always completely right. By following them we live a more honest life.

The laws and precepts of our Great Chief and Captain warn us when we are about to make a choice that will leave us walking the Sorrow Way. They remind us of what is good and right and true and just. They give light to all our dark places and reveal a future and a hope. We would do well to desire these things more than riches and prosperity for they will bring true sweetness into our lives.

November 19 water Warriors, it takes years of training to learn the discipline of waiting. If you are currently in that space where you are being forced to wait rest assured that Creator Yahweh is still in control. While you are waiting, indecision may come. Confusion may hinder your peace. You may have no idea which direction to take, but do not allow yourself to be overcome with despair.

This is a time to be still. Do not rush ahead. Do not cower in fear. Our Great Chief and Captain will give the order to move at just the right time. Nations may be in uproar. Kingdoms may fall. But Creator Yahweh will not be a day late. Be still and know that he is God. He will be exalted in the heavens. He will be exalted in the earth. Creator Yahweh lives inside us. Everywhere he dwells is a safe place.

November 18 water Sometimes, warriors, no matter how hard we try not to we fall back into the old way of walking in darkness. Perhaps it’s because of hurt feelings or an offense that we cannot let go of. Perhaps we have been wronged in a very real way. Whatever the cause, it sends us reeling back into a position of self-defense against someone other than our real enemy, that evil trickster.
When this happens, it is good to remember that our enemy is the father of lies and that without Spirit power we will believe every lie he tells us. We believe the lie that we need to defend ourselves when in truth our Great Chief and Captain is our defense. The Sword is in the Captain’s hand! We believe the lie that we are not loved when in truth Creator Yahweh loves us with pure, faithful, unending love enough to call us his brothers and sisters, not just in word, but in truth and through his blood! We believe the lie that we deserve something better when in truth we deserve nothing but punishment. Yet we do not receive punishment because Creator Yahweh stood in our place and took our punishment on himself.
It is because of Creator Yahweh’s great mercy that we are renewed every morning. Take time to sit at his feet. Bask in his love and dwell on his words. These things will bring you back into truth and Spirit power so that you can again walk the Beauty Way. When we are walking in Beauty we will take no offense but choose to approve the good. We will believe in the power of forgiveness and restoration and let our Great Chief and Captain act as the rightful judge. When we spend time with Creator Yahweh we will believe the truth and discard the lie.
