May 17

May 17 Warrior, when one enemy becomes two and two becomes twenty and help is still far away, lost in a place where you cannot touch her, wait for a double portion of Creator’s Spirit. Bow your face to the ground and cover yourself with dust. Let your body cleave to the ground as one who belongs to it. For Yahweh’s sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. But do not let despair become your sister.

Creator Yahweh lives and rules in all dimensions and his Holy Spirit is able to touch and know every creature at each and every moment. Spirit is not limited to time and space. His thoughts about you outnumber the grains of the sand. He alone knows your frame. Before you utter one word, He knows it completely. How can you not trust him?

May 16 water Here is a good way of walking in beauty, trust in the Lord without wavering. Count on his righteousness to save you and know that it is not your mighty arm that will rescue you; it is his great Sword that will bring shouts of victory. Let him examine your heart and mind. Make sure you do not sit with those who are false or fellowship with pretenders. Hate the company of evildoers and do not sit long hours with the wicked or enjoy their ways.

Love the Sacred Writings and spend much time there in the presence of Creator Yahweh in the place where his glory dwells. Walk the way of integrity through Spirit Power and he will redeem and restore you, and will be merciful and gracious to you.

May 15 Does it seem as if Creator Yahweh has hidden his face? Are you afraid he has forgotten your affliction and the taunts of those who oppress you?

Trust Creator Yahweh even in this. Do not turn from following the good way even when deep darkness covers the path. Do not forget the name of Creator Yahweh or that it is his hands that stretched out the heavens. He knows the secrets of the heart. Trust in the work he has done in the past and know that he will do it again. We will tread upon the enemy who rises up against us. Do not trust in bow or spear, they will not save you Trust only in the strength and faithfulness of Creator Yahweh.

May 14 water Come and see the works of Creator Yahweh! He lifts his voice and the earth melts. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields with fire.

There is a river, flowing feely forever, whose streams make glad the city of Creator Yahweh. This is the holy place for which our hearts long. Yeshua is in the midst of her and she will not be moved. The Great Chief of all the Hosts is with us! He is our Refuge, our Fortress, and our High Tower.

This is the one we serve! Our Great Chief and Captain! Be still before him and watch. He knows what he is doing and will accomplish all that is in his plan.

May 13 Creator Yahweh is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Why do you fear, child? When trouble is near, Creator Yahweh is even nearer. If the earth gives way beneath your feet, he is still there. When the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, he is still there. When the waves roar and foam, and the mountains quake with their surging, Creator Yahweh is still there. He will catch you upon his wings and carry you to safety.

The wind howls, the earth rumbles, the shout of a horde of warriors rings out across the land! We hold our hands over our ears because of the noise of it, but Creator Yahweh is still there. Nations are in uproar! Kingdoms fall. Creator Yahweh is still there, carrying you upon his great wings.

May 12 Are you still at rest in Creator Yahweh, hidden in the shelter of his tent? Do you realize that this rest is not born of open fields and wind swept skies but is born of conflict? Yes. The very thing that you looked at as bad has produced this fruit of peace. This peace is not like the calm before a storm so do not fear. This peace bears the quietness and freshness that follows the storm.

While you are here in this place of rest, learn the ways of Creator Yahweh and then when you rise to walk again, your feet will walk on straight paths. Even when others do not understand the way you travel, or when they bring false accusations against you, or even when some breathe violence against you, you need not fear. Wait for Creator Yahweh. He will strengthen your heart and give you courage, and at just the right time he will get your feet moving again.

May 11 final Are you in trouble warrior? Cry aloud to Creator Yahweh. He will hear you and have mercy upon you and be gracious. Seek his face with all your heart and he will not hide his face from you. He will not forsake you, even if your father and mother forsake you and all your aunties and uncles. He will never cast you off for he is the God of your salvation.

In the day of trouble Creator Yahweh will hide you in his shelter. In the secret place of his tent he will hide you. He will set your feet high upon a rock. He will lift up your head above your enemies round about. And in his tent you will offer shouts of joy. You will sing, oh yes, you will sing!

may 10 Has the way grown dark before you warriors? Do you feel yourself sinking into depression? Are the present circumstances that Creator Yahweh has allowed in your life sinking you into despair? Then it is time to stop, cease all work and be still.

Let Creator Yahweh be your refuge and stronghold of your life. Seek his face and inquire of him and do not move until he gives you direction. Rest in the arms of Creator Yahweh. It is a time to draw strength from a strong loved one and trust completely in another’s strength. Wait for Yeshua and he will fill your heart with courage.

Love must be sincere, warriors. Bless those who persecute you. Mourn with those who mourn. Weep with those who weep. Rejoice with those who rejoice. You cannot do this on your own strength, but through Spirit power you can do all things. Let the truth of the Sacred Writings fill hungry souls as you walk the paths of promise and prayer.

Courage, warriors! Become standing trees that cannot be destroyed because of your fruit. Let all nations come and eat freely. In this way you will encourage your brothers and sisters and aunties and uncles and heap burning coals on the heads of your enemy.

In this present battle, you need no bow and arrow. Put away knife and spear. If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

As the Sacred Writings say, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” To do this, you must keep a listening ear and a heart that is not quick to judge.

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
