Ghostdancer Shadley

There is a time, warriors, when we must confess our betrayal—telling the truth to the One who already knows it all. This is the act of our betrayal—the thoughts that are less than pleasing to Creator Yahweh; the actions that speak of an attachment to evil; the unlove that invades our souls; the lack of faith with which we betray ourselves.

Though Creator Yahweh knows our every thought before we think it, there is a healing that happens through our confession. And though we may expect rightfully earned condemnation, Creator Yahweh gives us love instead.

Get close to the earth, sit still, and wait, until you are aware of the washing of the Holy Spirit spreading throughout your body, quickening the deadest members and rebirthing hope. Let this awareness swell up inside of you until it bubbles over in waves of joy.

Warriors, have you considered how great is Creator Yahweh? He is beyond our understanding, yet closer than a blood brother. He calls us by our secret name that only He knows. Creator Yahweh has journeyed to the springs of the sea and walked in the recesses of the deep. He is the One who bound the beautiful Pleiades and loosed the cords of Orion. He brought forth the constellations in their seasons and led out the Bear with its cubs.

When you gaze into the stars, warriors, think about this amazing love, this amazing Creator. Who am I, oh my Great Chief and Captain, that you would pay mind of me? Yahweh. Yahweh. Yahweh.

In 2009 the VA called and just so matter of fact over a phone simply said, “You have Hodgkin’s.” I can’t explain the shock. But after a million things ran through my head, I began to tell my wife that we can get through this. We have our Lord and He’s a healing Father. So what do we do? We take it to prayer. What loss have you experienced? Take it to Creator Yahweh. He cares. Creator Yahweh is bigger! Creator Yahweh is beyond!

Note: Ghostdancer Shadley walked closely with his Great Chief and Captain through the increasing pain that led up to his death in May of 2013. His wife, Diana, stood beside him the entire time. The last days before he went to be with Creator Yahweh, he raised his arms to the sky and sang Bill Miller’s song, “Ghostdance” over and over again…“I’m a mighty warrior and I’m finally going home.”

Right up to his last moments walking this earth, Ghostdancer was a blessing to everyone who entered his presence. We are glad that his teachings and words continue here on Facebook and that they touch so many hearts as they do ours. He is a wonderful example of walking the Jesus Way.

My heart jumps at the realization that my Great Chief and Captain is my life and light. No darkness can hide his Light; no walls are strong enough to keep him away, even when I hear the echo of the evil one’s footsteps through the dark night. The Sacred Scriptures give me strength where once I was weak. Wisdom from my own people weaves itself through the words.

There was a time our people walked in the true way, the way of walking in beauty, the way of Creator, Yahweh. Long before white people brought fences and walls to this land. This is the true strength of the warrior, not with shield and sword, but with a heart bursting with strong medicine and filled with the Spirit of Creator Yahweh. With this assurance you can feel Creator Yahweh’s presence in any and all dark places, the places that are able to rob you of your soul if you allow it.

The choice is yours—walk in beauty—or walk in darkness.

Stay strong warriors! Continue in faith and keep walking in the Spirit Way. I am writing to you, dear children, because your wrongdoing has been forgiven on account of his name. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young warriors, because you have overcome the evil one.

Stay strong! Creator Yahweh is the One of whom the disciples said, “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of Life.

The Life appeared! We have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal Life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ Yeshua. We write this to make our joy complete.”

Stay strong, warriors, and continue walking in the Spirit Way.
