March 21 water small Warrior, bring your life to Creator Yahweh. Lean on him, rely on him; place your confidence in him. Sit beside the fire and let him show you his ways. Walk along the path with him, letting him take the lead. Walk in his footsteps while he guides you in truth and faithfulness. He is the God of your salvation.

Do not worry about evil people who seem to prosper in your shame. Their days are but dust; they are here today and gone tomorrow. But you, warrior, will shine like the stars forever, because you have trusted in his great love. Creator Yahweh is good and upright and he will guide you to a spacious place. The way getting there may be dark and lonely, but soon you will dance with all your heart. Never give up trusting in your Great Chief and Captain.

March 22 Sisters and brothers do you know that we are joint heirs of Creator Yahweh? That means we are equal heirs. Men be careful in thinking that you should instruct your wife with the Sacred Writings. You are joint heirs, you will share the Word together, not instruct one another. Men, don’t be a dufus in the Word. Jesus Yeshua treated women as valuable. Have your hands washed from sin to lift holy hands to Creator Yahweh. These are notes I write to myself. Perhaps they will mean something to you as well. Also, our adornment should be the Word, not fancy threads.

Our people have always valued order and respect. As you can see, the Sacred Writings are also about order and respect. Our lives are so much richer when we value and honor one another. First of all honor Creator Yahweh, then honor one another. This is the blessing way, the path of Creator Yahweh that leads to a far-seeing place. Here you will find the well springs that will quench your thirsty soul.

March 20 water small

IMG_2564 Warriors, be sure to spend much time in the Sacred Writings found in the Bible. This is no white man’s book as some of our people call it. It is a book of life-giving words given by Creator and passed down from one generation to another, kept alive by prophesies fulfilled hundreds of years after they were first given and fueled by the hope of a Messiah to come. A Messiah, a Great Chief, the Grass Dancer of all grass dancers, who made a Way for His People, the Way of Beauty, the Blessing Way.

Now, we are one great new tribe made up of all who put their trust in Jesus Yeshua, Creator Yahweh.

Read the sacred words of beauty and raise your hands to the sky, calling upon Creator Yahweh, the one who sees, the great counselor, the faithful great “Blaydal’knii” (God above all). Ask him to restore you, for he alone knows your true needs. Dance your prayers to him as you step out each heartbeat of the drum.

March 19 water small Warriors, remember to walk in the way of love. Love is patient. Love is kind. It always forgives one another. It goes that extra mile. It never fails. It always keeps going and going. This is the love that Creator Yahweh loves us with and it is the love that should spill over our lives as we love one another.

Creator Yahweh’s love will never fail. Never! If we think it has failed it is because we have stopped trusting. Stopped believing. Stopped loving. His love NEVER fails. His love always protects. Through His love, we love one another.

His love does not envy. It does not boast. His love is not easily angered. His love reaches out to thousands upon thousands. This love always gives hope. Creator Yahweh’s love binds our hearts together. This is the love with which we love each other.

March 18 water Warriors, you were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? Do not listen to the evil trickster who is throwing you into confusion. You were called to be free. Live in freedom then! But not in such a way as to do evil but in such a way that allows you to love others.

Loving Creator Yahweh. Loving others. This is the Spirit Way.

And let us watch our words, they hold the power of life and death. Let us not speak death to one another. Let us not bite and devour one another. Instead, let us Walk the Spirit Way and we will not gratify the desires of the old nature. Let us return to freedom. Let us return to the Spirit Way.

March 17 water Warrior, when is the last time you felt the embrace of Creator Yahweh? Have you wept for joy in his presence? It is a good thing to take time to be still, get close to the earth and let the wind of heaven wash over you. Let his sweet caress soothe away every vestige of pain and crushing memories. Know the truth, as Creator Yahweh knows the truth. See deeper than the surface. Allow him to open your eyes to the hearts of others. Let understanding become as common as your breath.

Taking the time to be still before your Great Chief and Captain will help you to stand firm and know that he is with you in the common places of life, the times when you would otherwise feel forsaken of all that is sacred. It is good to stay in touch with the embrace of heaven.

March 16 water Let the shout of victory reign! Let the walls fall. Trust Creator Yahweh’s love. He will carry us through the storm. Yes, the storm is dangerous. Yes, it is exhausting. But he who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb is with us. He will preserve our lives even when we walk in the midst of trouble.

Our present troubles, though they cause us much suffering, are not worth comparing with the glory that Creator Yahweh will one day reveal in us. All of creation waits in eager expectation for the sons and duaghters of God to be revealed! Listen carefully, you will hear the groaning of a vast creation waiting to be liberated. Our hearts groan, as well, longing for the day of perfect freedom.

Take heart warrior. Do you have no words to pray? Even a sigh directed at Creator Yahweh is a prayer. Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness, interceding for us with groans that mere words cannot express. Let Creator Yahweh’s love restore you. Shout for joy while hope is still an expectation. Let the shout of victory confuse the enemy’s camp. Trust our Great Chief and Captain’s love. He will carry us through.

March 15 no more Healing is in Creator Yahweh’s love. Restoration is in his love. Life eternal. How deep is his love! How wide. If you have reached out your hands to the heavens and accepted his love, then there is no place your feet trod that you will not step in his love. He keeps you, he restores you by his love.

Nothing comes between you and Creator Yahweh’s love. What troubles do you have? What hardship? What persecution? His love still flows over you. If you are hungry or naked, his love is still there.

Arrows fly! Danger threatens! Yet his blanket of love still covers you. Death and life do not change his love. Heavenly messengers may tempt you, dark spirits may threaten, but they do not change his love. His love remains in the present, in the future. It stands against spiritual power. There is nothing so high that his love cannot reach, no pit so low that his love does not fill. Nothing in the present, in the future, in all creation can come between Creator Yahweh’s anointed and his love.

Let the healing begin. Light and dark meet in Creator Yahweh’s love. His eternal love reached into the future and saw you! He chose you! He called you by name.

March 14 Warriors, let the peace and soul harmony of Creator Yahweh rule in your hearts. As chosen ones, we have all been called to walk in the way of peace, not in sadness with our heads down but with thankful hearts and singing lips, dancing and singing the words of our Great Chief and Captain. Allow gratitude to ring in every drumbeat as you match it to Creator Yahweh’s heart. Beat out the rhythm of gratitude. Let the melody of grace take root in your soul.

Let the word spoken by Christ, the Messiah, Creator Yahweh, those words we call the Sacred Writings, have its home in your hearts and minds and make its dwelling place in you. Speak the Word. Dance the Word. Love the Word. Walk the Word. Bathe in the Word. Let it cleanse you and make you whole and restore you. Make melody to Jesus Yeshua with grace in your hearts.

March 13 Have you answered the call of Creator Yahweh? Then you are one of his chosen people, holy and dearly loved. Let his regalia of compassion fall over you and hide your nakedness. Let humility be your headdress, and gentleness the fan that waves sweet peace over all who are near.

Shod your feet with the moccasins of patience that you may bear whatever grievances you have with your brothers and sisters. Forgive as Creator Yahweh has forgiven you, without asking for anything in return. And over all of this, pull on a blanket of love that will bind you together as one tribe in perfect unity. Our Great Chief and Captain has given us but two commands: To love him and to love others. Walk in the way of love.
