April 17 Standing firm will be difficult, warriors, impossible without the strength Creator Yahweh gives, because many brothers and sisters will turn aside and not tolerate sacred instruction. Instead, they will chase after teachers and healers who satisfy the desires of their hearts for a season. But when trouble and calamity come, their souls will be empty and their courage will leave like a bird in flight.

Guard your hearts, warriors. Stand firm on the sacred truth. So when your time of crossing over arrives you will be able to say that you fought the good fight and finished the journey well, holding firmly to the faith Creator Yahweh placed in your heart.

Love Yeshua with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. Long for his appearing like a bride on the eve of her wedding, for he will appear! And the time will be very soon.

april 16 Stand firm warriors! Keep walking the Beauty Way! Do not turn aside from hearing the truth or wander off into myths and man-made fictions. Do not chase mirages.

Your Chief and Captain, Creator Yahweh, gives orders to the morning and shows the dawn its place. He journeys to the springs of the sea and walks in the recesses of the deep. He knows the way to the abode of light and has entered the storehouses of the hail. Such a One is able to keep you from falling if you turn to him for truth.

Do not waver from the truth. Stand calm and steady, ready to accept every hardship without flinching. Keep the protocol and message alive. Perform all the works Creator Yahweh has assigned you.

april 15 Are you thirsty child? Come to the streams of mercy at the feet of Creator Yahweh where the fountain of blessing never ceases. Drink and be filled and never thirst again. Yeshua sought you when you were far away, while you were lost and wandering on the dark path. He came to your rescue and bought you with his precious blood. Now fall to the earth and honor him as one who stands above all.

By his own mighty hand, Creator Yahweh, the one who designed you for a good purpose, has brought you to this place. By the same grace he will safely lead you home. Give him the gift of solitude. Give him the gift of silence. Let all else go and fix your thoughts on him. Let your wandering heart be still, and like a faithful dog soldier, stake yourself to his ground and remain steadfastly firm.

april 14 Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm, to water a land where no man lives, a desert with no one in it, to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass? How great is Creator Yahweh—beyond our understanding! He draws up the drops of water and fills the clouds with moisture, pouring abundant water on all creatures. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back.

Creator Yahweh is your Chief and Captain. Is there anything he cannot do? Lay your life, with all of your concerns, sorrows, pain, dreams, visions and disappointments, in his hands. He is faithful beyond our understanding. Even when our hearts fail us for lack of faith, He remains faithful, for he has placed his Holy Spirit in our hearts and he cannot disown himself. Trust him with your visions, he holds nothing back.

April 13 Creator Yahweh designed you for a purpose that will soon come about. Honor Him and walk in his ways, for he is bringing you into a good land—a land whose streams team with fish and pools of sweet water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills; a land with plenty of food for you and your children; a land where you will lack nothing.

Look at what is in your hand. Look at who you are, not what someone else thinks you should be. Look to Creator Yahweh for direction. You are a special design and as such have much to offer our world through the power of his Spirit. Celebrate that uniqueness.

April 12 No matter how far you go, dear child, no matter how deep the wrong. Whether the sun hangs high in the sky or deep blackness hides the light. Whether your heart is hard as cold winter ice or soft as the skin of a newborn lamb. Whether you soar in the clouds with eagles or feast on the blood of others like a vulture. Whether you run with horses or walk with shadows. No matter who you hurt, or who has been hurt because of you, remember…not one drop of Yeshua’s blood will ever be lessened. Creator Yahweh spilled his life for you and his arms are always open. One word from you and he will make the shadows fly away.

April 11 Keep alert warriors! It is time to pick up our spears and flaming arrows. These flaming arrows are our prayers at all times and on every occasion and in every season in the Spirit. Pray and keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance as you intercede in behalf of all your people.

With these prayers we make war against the powers of this present darkness. Powers that have held us captive for too long. Pray that our chains will be released and freedom will be given so that we may proclaim boldly the mystery of the Good News of Creator Yahweh.

Humble yourself and come before him as one who believes in the Great Chief above all.

April 10 water Warriors, when your breastplate is in place, tighten your belt of Truth, which Creator Yahweh has given you through his Sacred Writings. Shod your feet with fine moccasins in preparation to face the enemy. Stand against the wicked one with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the Gospel of peace.

Pick up your shield of saving faith that is able to quench all the flaming arrows of the wicked one. And then take the helmet of salvation that Creator Yahweh has given you, and the sword that Yahweh’s Spirit wields, which is the Sacred Writings, the Bible. Now, you are ready to stand.

Stand firm, therefore, and hold your ground.

Raise your voice and pray. Shout victory against the rulers and authorities of this dark world that will soon come to an end. Let the warrior’s cry be heard throughout the land. Do not allow yourself to be distracted by the endless cares and troubles of this world. Such cares and troubles will soon pass away, but the Word and love of Creator Yahweh stand firm forever.

april 9 water Hear me well, warriors. Our people have been oppressed far too long. The war cry has sounded! But we do not strike the battle cry against flesh and blood as we have done in the past. No! This is a spiritual battle that will affect everything in all worlds.

The ruler of the dark world is more clever and scheming than the coyote, so make sure your breastplate of righteousness is in place, or you will go down in dishonor like a frightened rabbit that has wandered too far from its den.

This breastplate of righteousness contains integrity, moral honor and honesty and right standing with Yahweh. It cannot be made with human hands and horn bones; it is made only through the blood of Yeshua. It is Creator Yahweh’s protocol gift and cannot be bought.

If you have not already done so, light your sage, and wave your eagle feathers and ask Creator Yahweh for this gift now. He will give it to you. And, though it will be large enough to cover you, it will not be too heavy. Its weight will be as nothing, allowing you to move freely in battle.

April 8 water Keep Creator Yahweh’s decrees and commands, written in the Sacred Writings (Bible), so that it may go well with you and your children for many generations and that you may live long in the land Creator Yahweh your God gives you for all time.

Remember how your Chief and Captain led you all the way through the dark times when you were imprisoned behind paper walls built by people who did not understand how much Creator Yahweh loves the way he designed you.

He was with you through those dark times, whispering his words of love in the wind blowing through the prairie grass and mountain forests. He called you along the singing brook. And inside concrete walls that held you captive, he was still there, bathing his wounded warriors in love. He fed you with every whispered word that fell from his mouth.

He calls you now. “Make ready, Warriors, your time is soon to come.” Eat the words of the Sacred Writings as if they are food for you that you cannot live without. They are the arrows that will fly against your enemy, and you will come out the victor in this war.
