Ghostdancer Shadley

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!

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.

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.

Warriors, I have been young and I have been old, yet I have never seen any warrior who is completely sold out to Creator Yahweh forsaken. Neither are their offspring forsaken or begging for food.

From the rising of the sun in the east and as it marks its path across the heavens, even when it falls below the far mountain and sinks into darkness these sold out warriors are merciful and deal graciously with everyone. They lend all good things and their offspring are blessed.

Trust in Creator Yahweh!  Lean on him. Rely on him. Find your confidence in him. This is the way you and your offspring will dwell in the land and feed on his faithfulness. Delight yourself in him and he will grant the secret petitions of your heart.

It is better to have little possessions and stand uncompromisingly in your faith in Creator Yahweh than it is to have a great many possessions and do wrong. Our Great Chief and Captain will break the arms of the wicked while he upholds those who consistently look to him for their strength. Those warriors who walk this way in Beauty shall not be put to shame in the time of evil. And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

Such people who are blessed of Creator Yahweh shall inherit the earth, but they that are cursed of him and will be cut off. The only ones who are cursed of him are those who have made a decision to walk outside his path of beauty.  All of us used to walk in this way of darkness, but then we gave our lives over to our Great Chief and Captain.

The steps of a good warrior are directed and established by Creator Yahweh because such a warrior delights in their Great Chief and Captain!
