Ghostdancer Shadley

Sometimes, warriors, Creator Yahweh seems very far away. We cry out in the daytime, yet he answers not and seems to have forsaken us. We groan throughout the night, yet he remains silent. It is times like these we must remember that he is holy and faithful and just. We must look beyond our circumstances and see him high and lifted up in the Holy Place beyond the Sacred Mountain.

We must also look to our ancestors and remember that they trusted in our Great Chief and Captain. They were confident even in the silent times while walking the Sorrow Way. Creator Yahweh delivered them. They cried out and were delivered and were not ashamed or disappointed. Sometimes their hope was realized in this life, but often it came when they crossed over, freed from the chains that held them. And they received honor because of their steadfastness.

Keep calling out, fellow warriors, and let his Spirit comfort you at just the right time.

Warriors, we are called to warfare, but do not mistake your enemy! We do not fight against flesh and blood. Be careful to not strike out against your brothers and sisters. Our fight is against the powers and master spirits who rule this present darkness. We war against the spirit forces of wickedness in the spirit realm. This kind of war requires the full armor of Creator Yahweh, so that on the dangerous day of evil we will be able to stand.

Stand, therefore, as bold warriors, and do not allow your minds to become quickly unsettled or disturbed or alarmed. Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way. For there will come a great falling away of those who have professed to follow Creator Yahweh. Stand firm and do not let yourselves be led astray. Keep your spiritual fervor, serving your Great Chief and Captain and encourage one another as you see the day approaching.

I tell you a great mystery, warriors, we shall not all fall asleep in death. We shall be transformed! In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. The perishable part of us will put on the imperishable and the mortal part of us shall put on immortality. And when we experience this freedom from death, we will realize the fulfillment of the promise that death is swallowed up forever in victory.

On that day Creator Yahweh will destroy the covering of mourning that has been cast over our people. He will swallow up death and wipe away tears from our faces. On that day we will say, “Behold our Great Chief and Captain upon Whom we have waited and hoped, that He might save us! This is Creator Yahweh. We have waited for Him and we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”

This is a great promise, warriors, for all who put their trust and hope in Creator Yahweh. Stand strong! Do not waiver from walking in Beauty.

Warriors, the Sacred Writings teach us that the first man was formed out of the earth. He was made of dust and represents all who follow after and are earthly minded. The Second Man is from heaven, Jesus Yeshua. We who follow him as our Great Chief and Captain are also of heaven and so become heavenly minded. We no longer think only of earthly things; we walk between two worlds.

In the past we bore the image of the man of dust, but now we bear the image of the Man of heaven. The first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam, Jesus Yeshua, became a life-giving Spirit, restoring the dead to life. Do you feel it warriors? We have already been restored! We are already seated with Creator Yahweh in heavenly places. Take courage. This is a spiritual mystery, but we will one day see it with our own eyes.

Warriors consider this…there is an end to evil. It had a beginning and it will have an end.

As Spirit people we look forward to the day when the peace of Creator Yahweh will reign forever! He had no beginning and he has no end. His peace will reign eternal. He will put all his enemies under his feet and will abolish death forevermore.

This is the hope to which we have been called. Yet, now, as we walk along the surface of the earth, we face death every day. We see the death of our dreams, of our strength, and our bodies. But we need never lose hope! Our Great Chief and Captain has promised life to us and eternal joy! This is enough to keep us walking the Beauty Way.
