October 3

October 3 water 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.

October 2

October 2 water Warriors, we die daily. The world tells us we must find ourselves, that we must love ourselves before we can love others. But Creator Yahweh has first told us that we must love others. He has also said that unless a seed falls to the ground and dies it cannot bring forth new life.

Like that seed, we die to the old way of walking in darkness. We die to evil desires and selfish gain. We even die to many of our dreams, but like that seed that falls to the ground, we spring up in new life. Alive for the first time!

There are heavenly bodies of sun, moon, and stars, and there are earthly bodies of humans, animals and plants. All have their own glory. The sun is glorious in one way, the moon in another, and the stars even more distinctive. So it is with us. Our body that is sown is perishable and decays, but the body that Our Great Chief and Captain will raise is imperishable, immune to decay, and immortal! Sown in dishonor and humiliation; it is raised in honor and glory. Sown in weakness, raised in strength and power. Sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body. This is a blessed hope that keeps us walking the Beauty Way.

October 1

October 1 water small 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 and 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.

September 30

September 30 water small Warriors, long ago our people walked in darkness as did all the people of the earth, but now we have seen a great light. This great light of Jesus Yeshua has even dawned upon the dead. That is why we are now alive! Creator Yahweh has enlarged our nation and increased our joy! Our people are rising up again to serve our Great Chief and Captain in the unique way he has made us.

Creator Yahweh is our Wonderful Counselor. We can go to him with any question, any need. He is our Mighty God. We can trust him to forever be faithful and true. He is our Everlasting Father. He will not leave us as orphans, but holds an eternal inheritance for us. And He is our Prince of Peace. Let peace reign in our hearts as we celebrate the joy of our Great Chief and Captain.

September 29

September 29 water Yes, warriors, Creator Yahweh raises the dead, and we were once dead in the way we used to live. But we were created to be a spiritual people. Therefore, the nurture of the Spirit ought to be a priority in our lives. Every day we should dive into the Sacred Writings and let them take root in our soul. By living in such a way we leave fleshly wisdom behind and walk in the grace of Creator Yahweh with sincerity and a pure heart. This is a choice and not a difficult thing to do, for it is our Great Chief and Captain that keeps, strengthens and delivers us from the old way of walking in darkness.

Call on Creator Yahweh for help! For his promises are always “yes,” and he has anointed us and set his seal upon us. Not only that, but he has also placed his Holy Spirit in our hearts as a deposit of what is to come. It is our Great Chief and Captain who gives us the strength and ability to continue walking in the way of Beauty. Praise him with your whole heart. He reigns above all!

September 28

September 28 water small Warriors, I pray grace over you, and spiritual blessing, and peace falling like rain over you from Creator Yahweh. He is the Father of compassion and the Source of every comfort and consolation and encouragement. Our Great Chief and Captain comforts us in our sorrows so that we can comfort others who walk the sorrow way. Yes. The sufferings of Jesus Yeshua flow over us, but his comfort also overflows over us like a river reaching all who come in contact with us.

This knowledge gives me hope for you and confident expectation and unwavering assurance that you will be comforted and not a moment too late. Yes, we have felt the sentence of death, but these things happen to us so that we will not rely on our own strength or intellect or courage, but that we will rely on Creator Yahweh who raises the dead. He will rescue us! Place your hope and confident expectation on him.

September 27

September 27 water Warriors, how can we possibly repay Creator Yahweh for all the good things he has done for us? Each day the sun greets us with its warmth. At night we lie down beneath the sheltering shadows. Each breath we take reminds us that we are alive!

What vows have you made to our Great Chief and Captain? It is a good thing to fulfill those vows in the sight of all our people. Let them know of his goodness and mercy. Let them know that he hears their cries for mercy. Let them know that precious in his sight is the death of his warriors. He has freed us from our chains!

Call on his name and offer your prayers of thanks. Dance before him as one who has found undeserving favor.

September 26

September 26 water small Creator Yahweh has delivered me from death. He has dried the tears from my eyes and kept my feet from falling off the good path that I may continue to walk the way of Beauty.

I have told him all my problems and trusted them into his care. I believed, trusted in, relied on, and am still clinging to Creator Yahweh. He is my Great Chief and Captain. Therefore, my tongue will praise his name all the days of my life.

You can trust him warriors, he cares for you.

September 25

September 25 water I love Creator Yahweh because he always hears my voice. He has heard my cry for mercy and has turned his ear to me. I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death entangled me. I was overcome by dread of the place of the dead. I walked the way of sorrow. But then, I called on the name of my Great Chief and Captain, “Save me!” He parted the heavens and came down. He drew me out of many waters.

Creator Yahweh is gracious and kind. He is completely righteous and forgiving. When I was brought low, he saved me. Return to your rest, weary warriors, for Creator Yahweh has been good to you.

September 24

September 24 water small Remember warriors, Creator Yahweh will not forsake his faithful ones! Yes, we see wicked men in great power and spreading themselves like a green tree in its native soil, but they have no promise of a future hope. You will look for them but not find them for they will be cut off–never to be found. These wicked ones will be destroyed together.

Salvation belongs to Creator’s warriors who are made righteous through the blood of Jesus Yeshua. Wicked people may be able to crush the body, but they cannot destroy the soul. Creator Yahweh is our Refuge and secure Stronghold in times of trouble. He will help us and deliver us because we trust and take refuge in him. We will not be left in the hands of the wicked, for our Great Chief and Captain carries us on his wings.
