Ghostdancer Shadley

Warriors, is there a promise that you feel Creator Yahweh has given you? Have you been waiting a long time to see this promise come to pass? Has he given you glimpses? Have there been times when you felt it was almost in your hands just to have it snatched away at the last minute? Know this, warriors, our Great Chief and Captain is not slow in keeping his promise to you. He is utterly faithful and the fulfillment will not be a day late. Is there anything too hard or too wonderful for Creator Yahweh?

Look at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds so high above you. If you sin, how does that affect him? If your sins are many, what does that do to him? If you are righteous, what do you give to him? Your wickedness affects only a human like yourself, and your righteousness only the sons and daughters of men.

Let us cry out to Creator Yahweh saying, “Where is God my Maker, who gives songs of rejoicing in the night, who teaches more to us than to the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?” Ascribing such glory to our Great Chief and Captain will strengthen our hearts. He delivers the afflicted from their affliction and opens our ears to hear his voice. Be still, warriors, and listen.

Warriors, let us rejoice in the hope of the glory of Our Great Chief and Captain! Creator Yahweh is the LORD our God. He takes hold of our right hand and says, “Do not fear; I will help you. Do not be afraid.”

He whispers these words to us even when we feel as if we are no more than a worm, when we are small and insignificant in comparison to our enemies, when we walk dark paths with little light to brighten our way. His breath blows across the mountains and valleys and enters our souls, giving hope where all was lost.

It is then, in our darkest of dark places, that our Great Chief and Captain declares that he will help us. We have reason to hope and reason to rejoice. Our Redeemer is Creator Yahweh and we know that he lives, not only in the air that we breathe but also within our very souls.

Warriors, we have been justified through faith, and we have peace with our Great Chief and Captain through Creator Yahweh. It is through him that we have gained access by faith into this grace by which we stand. This grace covers all our wrong doing! This is because we have died to sin.

What shall we say about all this? Shall we go on living our old way of life, doing whatever we want in spite of the consequences? No! We put to death our old lives when we were baptized into the life of Christ.

The hallmark of a warrior of Christ is still obedience! But we are no longer obligated to be obedient to the law of Moses. Now we are obedient to the law of Creator Yahweh. And his law is summed up in two commands: Love God and love others. It is a good thing to give our lives to him each day as we step out on the Blessing Way. He is changing us from the inside out.

Warriors, we have long known the difference between right and wrong. We feel good about ourselves when we do what is right, yet when we do something wrong we tend to make excuses. We compare ourselves with someone else who perhaps does a worse wrong and that makes us feel as if our own wrong is not so bad. We must stop ourselves from continuing in such a walk. It is like poison to our souls. For no one will be declared righteous because of observing the law. The law simply made us conscious of our wrong doing.

Our Great Chief and Captain has told us that not one of us is good. Not one. He compares Himself with none other. He is completely good. Compared to him, we all miss the mark. But do not fear, warriors, he has given us a gift! Righteousness through his Son, Jesus Yeshua. He offers complete cleansing. And Spirit power to be able to walk in the way of Beauty.

This gift is ours if we do not turn away . Accept the gift and enjoy your new relationship with Creator Yahweh. Yes, our hearts will often condemn us, but he is greater than our hearts!

Warriors, long ago our people walked in darkness as did all the people of the earth, but now we have seen a great light. This great light of Jesus Yeshua has even dawned upon the dead. That is why we are now alive! Creator Yahweh has enlarged our nation and increased our joy! Our people are rising up again to serve our Great Chief and Captain in the unique way he has made us.

Creator Yahweh is our Wonderful Counselor. We can go to him with any question, any need. He is our Mighty God. We can trust him to forever be faithful and true. He is our Everlasting Father. He will not leave us as orphans, but holds an eternal inheritance for us. And He is our Prince of Peace. Let peace reign in our hearts as we celebrate the joy of our Great Chief and Captain.
