July 26 Be careful warriors. Don’t be as one who will listen to anybody who will teach you. Pick your teachers wisely, making sure what they are teaching is in line with the Sacred Writings. Many speak with partial truth, even our enemy, that great trickster does that! Study and know what is right. Avoid arguments that are always trying to get more information but never able to arrive at a recognition and knowledge of the Truth. These counterfeits should be rejected as far as the faith is concerned.

These people will put an end to themselves in due time. For their rashness and glory-seeking will eventually become obvious. But you, warriors, should diligently continue to follow the Beauty Way, knowing your purpose in life, keeping your faith in Creator Yahweh with much patience, love, and steadfastness.

July 25 Know this! In the last days there will come great stress and trouble that will be most difficult to bear. People will no longer look at how they can love one another, but will be more concerned about how to love themselves. They will be concerned about storing up earthly treasures for themselves. They will be utterly self-centered, proud and arrogant, never delving into the Sacred Writings to find the truth for themselves but believing they already have the answers.

These people are not lovers of truth. They are proud and arrogant. They will no longer honor their grandfathers or show respect for the way of Beauty. They are ungrateful, unholy and profane.

These people are lovers of sensual pleasures and simple amusements more than lovers of Creator Yahweh. They choose walking in pleasure over walking in Beauty. They speak and carry a form of sacredness, but are in truth strangers to the power of genuine Spirit power. They care more for being in the spotlight and having people talk about how spiritual they are.

Avoid these people! Do not let them drag you down into their way of thinking. Soak yourself in the Sacred Writings and continue to walk in Beauty, seeking to honor Creator Yahweh more than yourself.

July 24 water Be careful warriors. Shut your mind firm against anything to do with stupid controversies over ignorant questionings. These types of conversations only foster strife and breed quarrels. Strong warriors do not waste time on such contentious quarrels. Instead, we must call upon Spirit strength and keep calm and speak in love as one skilled and willing to suffer wrong.

Whenever you correct another, do so as one who speaks the Truth of Creator Yahweh, with gentleness and respect so that your opponents will catch a glimpse of the true way of walking in Beauty and so that they will eventually come to their senses and escape out of the snare of our enemy, that great trickster, and realize that they have been held captive by that evil power. Then they will be ready to follow the way of Beauty and find life for their souls and you will have gained a brother or sister for eternity.

JULY 23 water final Warriors, speak the truth regarding Creator Yahweh. This truth is found in the Sacred Writings. Light the sage and cleanse yourself from whatever is unclean and separate yourself from contact with anything that will take you away from the truth of Creator Yahweh. In this way you will make yourself as a vessel set apart for honor, consecrated for holy purposes, fit and ready for the good work of a warrior.

Shun youthful lusts and flee from them! They will only take you down and make your life meaningless. Instead take steady aim at living in conformity to the will of our Great Chief and Captain. Take captive every thought and pursue faith, love and peace with all your brothers and sisters who call upon Creator Yahweh with a pure heart.

July 22 Be careful warriors what words come out of your mouth. Avoid tearing down each other, for it only tears down yourself when you do these things. Such talk undermines the faith of your brothers and sisters and causes them to stumble. Study the Sacred Writings and present yourself as one worthy of the title dog soldier. One who handles the Sacred Writings with respect and honor, skillfully teaching these truths to others.

Avoid all useless, idle talk, for it leads your people into more ungodliness and causes them to forget the great promises of Creator Yahweh who created them in beauty. This kind of talk will devour like a cancer and spread like gangrene throughout the whole tribe. Instead, walk in the way of beauty and encourage one another with words that bring life to those around you. In so doing, you will also speak life into your own soul.

July 21 Stand your ground warriors! If we endure like good dog soldiers fighting to the end for our people, then we shall also reign with our Great Chief and Captain. But if we listen to the lies of our enemy, that great trickster, and we become discouraged to the point that we deny and disown and reject Creator Yahweh, then he will also deny and disown and reject us.

Yet, if we are faithless, he remains faithful because of his word found in the Sacred Writings and because of his righteous character, for he cannot disown himself. He is always and completely faithful. A good warrior will strive to remain faithful to the ONE who remains faithful to his people.

If we have died with him, we shall also live with him. Stake yourself into the solid ground of Creator Yahweh.

July 20 water It is time warriors. Climb the Sacred Mountain, whether in Spirit or in the physical and catch a glimpse of The Beautiful One’s face. Be strengthened in the grace that is only found in Jesus Yeshua. We all endure hardships as good warriors who are called to endure to the end of the battle. No warrior who has enlisted in battle considers the daily needs of his existence. It is as if he has already died and thinks of nothing but winning the battle.

No one who has died to himself lives for himself. He is now living for others and thinking how he can preserve their lives. Keep your eyes on Creator Yahweh, our Great Chief and Captain!

July 19 Hold fast warriors! Follow the teachings of Creator Yahweh found in the Sacred Writings. There is a good pattern here that is worth following. They will lead you to the Sacred Mountain, the Mountain of Vision Quests where you will find direction for what lies ahead. Guard the truth that you find there. It has been entrusted to you as a precious treasure. You can do this by the power of the Spirit who makes his home in you.

Do not worry about others who refuse to follow. Pray that Creator Yahweh will grant them the same great mercy and kindness that he has granted you, that he will breathe on them his breath of fresh air so that they too will climb the Sacred Mountain and find life for their souls.

July 18 Is the journey different than what you first thought warrior? Is the path strewn with broken promises and unmet expectations? Be careful that you do not fall under the lie that Creator Yahweh has let you down. If he is the One who gave you the promise then it will be fulfilled, and not a day too late.

It is better to put your faith in the One who gave the promise than it is to believe in the promise itself. Sometimes our enemy, the trickster, has fooled us into thinking a promise has been given when in truth we have been trusting in the fulfillment of our own desires. Trust in Creator Yahweh. He knows the deepest desires of your heart better than you do, and he is able to guard and keep that which has been entrusted to you from the beginning.

July 17 Creator Yahweh established the earth so that it cannot be moved. He is mightier than the mighty breakers and waves of the sea. He is more majestic than the mighty trees that reach toward heaven to praise his name. His works are marvelous among the nations. This Beautiful One will one day rule the people righteously and with justice, and He will judge the motives of our hearts with complete faithfulness and truth.

Is this not One we can trust with our lives? Is this not One we can depend on to lead us rightly? This is our great Captain and Chief! We may not know where we are headed or what the outcome will be; it is simply enough to know that we walk this path with Creator Yahweh.
