December 12 water small Creator Yahweh is coming with fire! His chariots are like a whirlwind. He will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. With fire and with his sword Creator Yahweh will execute judgment upon all humans, and many will be slain by his hand. This is the retribution you are looking for, and it will be done well and good. But know this, warriors, his mercy is very great and he extends love to everyone who calls on his name.

When you see all these things come to pass you will rejoice! You will flourish like grass. The faithful hand of our Great Chief and Captain will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes. Choose this day whom you will serve. It is not enough to be a warrior, but a warrior must also choose his Captain with wisdom.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Isaiah 66:14-16. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”

December 11 water small I know warriors that many walk the sorrow way at this time. Hearts are broken because of loss. Much has been taken, yet do not forget that much remains. Call out to Creator Yahweh. He will comfort those who mourn and will extend peace like a river.

Yes, we have been hurt. Yes, we want justice. Yet our Great Chief and Captain tells us to feed our enemies and bless those that curse us. Many of our ancestors did this and it freed their souls. The enemy can harm our bodies but they cannot touch our souls if we walk in Spirit power. Think on the good things. Walk the Beauty Way. And hold Creator Yahweh’s promises close to your heart.

December 10 water small Think on this warriors…Heaven is Creator Yahweh’s throne and the earth is his footstool. What house can we build for him? Is there any great place where we can contain him? He rides on the wings of the wind and journeys to the birthplace of the sea. Yet this One…whose hand made all things so that they came into being…dwells in the hearts of those who call out to him. We live and move and have our being in him, yet his Spirit lives within our hearts. Amazing love. Amazing mystery.

The Creator of all things became a man. The Creator of all things took on our guilt and died upon a cross. The Creator of all things rose from the dead, for the grave could not contain him. The Creator of all things calls us by name! Trust him, warriors, even in this season of sorrow. He will restore and rebuild. When you see his day approaching, your heart will rejoice.

December 9 water small Know this, warriors, the day is coming when Creator Yahweh will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. The sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more. Even now, our Creator takes delight in us!

Yes. The day is coming when we will no longer build houses and others live in them nor will we gather and others eat. We will build houses and dwell in them; we will gather and eat the harvest. Our children will not be doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by Our Great Chief and Captain. The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. Even now when we call upon him, Creator Yahweh answers; while we are still speaking, he hears. Take all your sorrows to him.

December 8 water small This is the time of Creator Yahweh’s favor. He has clothed us with his righteousness and called us his own. We will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated, even places that have been devastated for generations. The promise is sure that the day is coming when instead of shame our people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace we will rejoice in our inheritance. Everlasting joy will be ours!

Our Great Chief and Captain will reward us for simply calling out to him. In faithfulness he has made an everlasting covenant with us, so that our descendants will be known among the nations. All who see will acknowledge that we are a people Creator Yahweh has blessed. This is reason to celebrate. Let us dance with joy!

December 7 water small Do you feel alone warriors? Do not forget that Creator Yahweh stands with open arms to comfort all who mourn. Yes. We suffer loss. Yes. We endure pain. He knows. He understands. And he promises to bring something good out of these broken places. He will grant joy to those of us who now walk in sorrow. Wait for it. It will not be a day late, though you may think so now.

This is the promise! We will be given the garland of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and the regalia of praise instead of a heavy and burdened spirit. We will be called oaks of righteousness, lofty, strong, and magnificent trees! We are a planting of Creator Yahweh to glorify our Great Chief and Captain. Keep your faith warriors. Joy is coming.

December 6 water small Warriors do not forget that the Spirit of Creator Yahweh, the Sovereign Lord, is upon us! Because we have given ourselves to him, he has anointed us to preach good news to the poor. We can preach the good news that he will bind up the brokenhearted. Let us proclaim freedom for the captives!

If we lay our lives at his feet and claim him as our Great Chief and Captain, then we can trust him! This can be the year of release for those whose hearts are held captive by fear and worry. This can be the year we realize our worth in him. This is the year we proclaim Creator Yahweh’s favor!

Walk in newness warriors. Do not believe the lies of our enemy, that evil trickster. Do not hold on to old grudges or past hurts. Cast all your cares on your faithful Creator and serve him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. This is the way to walk in joy. This is the way of walking in Beauty.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of Creator Yahweh. Let us rise and stand firm.

December 5 water small Warriors, our Great Chief and Captain will guide us always! He will satisfy our needs in a sun-scorched land. He will strengthen our frame and we will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Call on Creator Yahweh. He is our help and our rear guard. He will hear our cry for help and will say, “Here I Am.”

The day is coming when we will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations. We will be called Repairer of Broken Walls and Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. Let us find joy in Creator Yahweh for his arm is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.

It is our own wrong doing that stands in the way, yet because of his great mercy Jesus Yeshua has broken down every wall, even the wall of our wrong doing. Delight yourself in our Great Chief and Captain and he will make you to ride on the high places of the earth. He will satisfy our hunger with good things. Call on Creator Yahweh. He will answer. He is our peace.

December 4 water Warriors, let us do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk. Let us, instead, encourage one another and stir up the gifts Creator Yahweh has given us. Let us spend ourselves on behalf of the hungry and strive to satisfy the needs of the oppressed. By doing these things our light will rise in the darkness so that even the night will shine like noonday.

Creator Yahweh, Jesus Yeshua, is the Light of the world. Warriors who follow him will never walk in darkness. Instead, they will shine with the Light of life, because they walk in Spirit power.

Yet this is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men and women loved darkness more than Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and will not come into the Light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the Light so that it may be seen plainly that whatever they have done has been done through our Great Chief and Captain.

December 3 water small Many mighty warriors have fallen and been laid to rest. We cry and we mourn because of our great loss, and that is an honorable thing, but do we ponder this in our hearts…that merciful and faithful warriors are taken away to escape the evil that is coming our way. Those who walk with Creator Yahweh leave the cares and troubles of this world and enter into peace when they take their last breath. They enter through heaven’s gate hearing the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

This is because our Great Chief and Captain lives in a high and lofty place far above the stars; He inhabits eternity and his name is Holy. Without him was nothing made that was made. He is the Creator of all things. But he also lives within our hearts. He is with the lowly and contrite in heart. He will revive the spirits of warriors who feel faint and are nearly consumed. He also revives the hearts of warriors who are bruised with sorrow for a mountain of wrongs. He will guide us and restore peace and comfort to us, creating praise on the lips of those who now mourn.

Stand firm, mighty warriors. We are called as a unique people to serve Creator Yahweh with all our heart and strength. Sorrow follows us through the night but joy comes in the morning.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Isaiah 57:1-16. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
