April 11 water small Keep alert warriors! It is time to pick up our spears and flaming arrows. These flaming arrows are our prayers at all times and on every occasion and in every season in the Spirit. Pray and keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance as you intercede in behalf of all our people.

With these prayers we make war against the powers of this present darkness. Powers that have held us captive for too long. Pray that our chains will be released and freedom will be given so that we may proclaim boldly the mystery of the Good News of Creator Yahweh.

Let us humble ourselves and come before him as ones who believes in the Great Chief above all.

April 10 water small Warriors, when your breastplate is in place, tighten your belt of Truth, which Creator Yahweh has given you through his Sacred Writings. Shod your feet with fine moccasins in preparation to face the enemy. Stand against the wicked one with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the Gospel of peace.

Pick up your shield of saving faith that is able to quench all the flaming arrows of the wicked one. And then take the helmet of salvation that Creator Yahweh, Jesus Yeshua has given you, and the sword that Holy Spirit wields, which is the Sacred Writings, the Bible.

Now, you are ready to stand. Stand firm, therefore, and hold your ground.

Raise your voice and pray. Shout victory against the rulers and authorities of this dark world that will soon come to an end. Let the warrior’s cry be heard throughout the land. Do not allow yourself to be distracted by the endless cares and troubles of this world. Such cares and troubles will soon pass away, but the Word and love of Creator Yahweh stand firm forever.

April 9 Hear me well, warriors. Our people have been oppressed far too long. The war cry has sounded! But we do not strike the battle cry against flesh and blood as we have done in the past. No! This is a spiritual battle that will affect everything in all worlds.

The ruler of the dark world is more clever and scheming than the trickster coyote, so make sure your breastplate of righteousness is in place, or you will go down in dishonor like a frightened rabbit that has wandered too far from its den.

This breastplate of righteousness contains integrity, moral honor and honesty and right standing with Creator Yahweh. It cannot be made with human hands and horn bones; it is made only through the blood of Jesus Yeshua. It is Creator Yahweh’s protocol gift and cannot be bought.

If you have not already done so, ask Creator Yahweh for this gift of righteousness now. He will give it to you. And, though it will be large enough to cover you, it will not be too heavy. Its weight will be as nothing, allowing you to move freely in battle.

April 8 water Warrior, keep Creator Yahweh’s decrees and commands, written in the Sacred Writings (Bible), so that it may go well with you and your children for many generations and that you may live long in the land Creator Yahweh your God gives you for all time.

Remember how your Great Chief and Captain led you all the way through the dark times when you were imprisoned behind paper walls built by people who did not understand how much Creator Yahweh loves the way he designed you.

He was with you through those dark times, whispering his words of love in the wind blowing through the prairie grass and mountain forests. He called you along the singing brook. And inside concrete walls that held you captive, he was still there, bathing his wounded warriors in love. He fed you with every whispered word that fell from his mouth.

He calls you now. “Make ready, warriors, your time is soon to come.” Eat the words of the Sacred Writings as if they are food for you that you cannot live without. They are the arrows that will fly against your enemy, and you will come out the victor in this war.

April 7 water copy Warriors, if Creator Yahweh came back today, would you see Him standing before you? When you lay on your bed at night, do you recognize his voice when he whispers in your ear? Or is your mind too busy, thinking about all the things you do day after day?

Do you recognize his smile in the sunrise across the Sacred Mountain? Do you know his touch when he heals you with his hand? Do you know his truth to free you from all your worldly gain? Or is your life too busy to take time to get close to the earth and be silent before the Magnificent One?

Day after day, Creator Yahweh does call, in a dream, in a vision in the night, through the reading of his Sacred Writings. In a whisper as gentle as a breeze. In a shout of thunder! He has spoken from the beginning of the world and he will continue to speak. He does not change like shifting shadows.

April 6 water small Warrior, I know that you face many troubles in this land. Creator Yahweh told us this would happen for as long as we walk in the world. But he also promised that he would give us strength to break through to the other side. He walks with us on this path and he has gone before. He knows every step of the way.

If you lack wisdom on this, if you don’t understand why he has allowed these troubles to touch your life, then ask Creator Yahweh for wisdom. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt that he will give you this gift in his perfect time, otherwise you will doubt and be like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

Asking for wisdom does not mean that you will get the answer to all of your questions. But it does mean that you will receive a peace that passes your mind’s understanding. This peace will help you to persevere under trial and lead you into the path of pure joy.

April 5 water My dear brothers and sisters, let us be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to get angry. Anger can never make things right in Creator Yahweh’s sight.

So let us get rid of all the anger and moral filth in our lives, and humbly accept the message Creator Yahweh has planted in our hearts, for it is strong enough to save our souls.

It is true he has saved us from wrath through the power of his blood, but he has also given us his Sacred Writings (the Bible). And let us remember, it is a message to obey, not just to listen to. If we don’t obey we are only fooling ourselves.

This is the way to live a life of true freedom.

April 4 water Join with the thousands upon thousands of flaming tongues that sing Creator Yahweh’s praise! Our Creator has also become our Redeemer. He has bought us with his precious blood. There is no greater sacrifice than this.

Honor him with your most precious gift, your heart. Let him seal it with his blood. Let him lay claim to you as your Great Chief. Fall at his feet and become indebted to his great grace. Then rise and dance as never before! He has risen. Let the whole earth sing his praise!

April 03 water Ask now about the ancient days, long before your time, when Creator Yahweh created humankind on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived?

Our elders taught us well, to love and honor Creator above all, to honor the works of his hands as having been formed by him, and to treat each other with honor and respect. With honor and dignity Creator Yahweh led our people through the fires, and we have survived and come out stronger because of it.

Now, child, continue to love Creator Yahweh, Jesus Yeshua, with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Acknowledge and take to heart this day that Creator Yahweh is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other!

April 2 “I will sing of the love of Creator Yahweh forever; with my songs I will make His faithfulness known to all my children. I will declare that His love stands firm forever. His faithfulness is established and unshakable.”

The heavens praise the wonders of Creator Yahweh, they speak of his faithfulness to all the holy ones. For who in the skies above can compare with our Great Chief and Captain? Who is like him among the heavenly beings? He is above all, beyond all, before all and in all. He rules over the surging sea. With one word He stills the mighty waves. With one swish of his strong arm he scatters his enemies. With one touch he calms the troubled soul. The heavens are his and swiftly answer his command. The earth is also his for he created the world and all that is in it.

It is good to trust in such a One as this. “Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.” Deuteronomy 4:9 (NIV)
