Ephesians 3:20"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,..."

Have we insulted Yahweh by failing to ask all that we might have? Has there ever been a saint that asked more than what our Heavenly Father was capable of? He is the Creator of heaven and earth, how hard is that which you may utter from your mortal lips for Him to bring to pass?

There are only three limits to prayer. The first is sin. Sin abuses faith, hinders the flow of the Holy Spirit of Yahweh. When a husband hardens his heart towards his wife, scripture tells us that this can hinder our prayers. When we allow lust, covetousness, greed, envy or hatred to reign in our minds and hearts, it derails prayer. When we quench the Holy Spirit or block it's work of sanctifying us in any way, our prayers become likewise blocked. Remove the obstruction, repent and surrender all unto our Heavenly Father, and at once the lines of communication are reestablished.

The second limit is our purpose for prayer. Do we ask amiss? Are we asking Yahweh to deliver us from some situation that He Himself has delivered us into for the purpose of purging our souls and refining us into His Image? Are we seeking worldly recognition instead of enjoying private glory of The Father in humility? Do we seek wealth and security to carry us through the tears, rather than being thankful for this day and all it's many blessings? Humble yourself and seek the things of the Kingdom of Yahweh first; for righteousness, holiness and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Seek treasure in heaven where it is infinitely more secure than all the riches on earth, and you will find here more than you need and enough to share.

The third limit is what we dare or dare not to ask. Look to that loved one, so blinded by sin and darkness, and DARE to beg Yahweh for the salvation of their soul. Is that sickness, that infirmity, greater than He who conquered hell and death and rose from the grave? Dare to believe, and dare to recieve.

We might find ourselves waiting Yahweh's timing, but never His Power.

Prayer of the Day
Blessed Father Yahweh
I surrender to Your perfect will and timing in all things, and I pray for the grace to bear all things, that I might bring glory and not shame unto You and Your Holy Name.
HalleluYah!

Psalm 17

Matthew 6:6 "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."

There are many churches who sense that some great catastrophe is perched on the horizon of our world and that it is the monumental sin of the masses that are fueling it on. So "Days of Prayer" are held, with much talk of returning to family values. But until they acknowledge the root of our sin, which is disobediance to Yahweh's law itself, family values will still be tainted, and days of prayer will go unheard, because of those who turn away their ear from the hearing of the law, even their very prayer is an abomination (Proverbs 28: 9).

What's needed is less "show prayer" and more closet prayer. Governors, mayors, councilman and a whole list of men and women who pass antichrist laws and abominable practices show up to make a pious display, and religious leaders who shun the commandments of Yahweh will lead in the praying. But if Yahweh's individual Israelite people would REPENT from their sins and return to the only standard for holiness in all the Word of Yahweh God, then their prayers would ascend unto heaven and be like sweet incense before the Altar of our God. Then would The Ever-Living stretch forth His mighty Hand and deliver our lands from the very leaders we will see gathered together for their "Days of Prayer".

We as individual's must "stand in the gap" and commit ourselves to the combat of good, plain, closet prayer. Not all are called to be apostles, pastors , teachers, prophets or evangelists; but each and every single one of us is called to pray, and pray without ceasing. The aged and the weak of body, can accomplish more on their knees before the Throne of Heaven, than the mightiest warrior clad in armor.

Heavenly Father Yahweh

Blessed be Thy Holy Name. Teach me to pray,O Father, the kinds of prayers Messiah prayed, that all who look upon my life would not see me, but You.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 64

Matthew 6:9 "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."

As we enter the Great Throne Room, we are overwhelmed by the Majesty, the Grandeur of our surroundings. We realise that we are entering into a Presence unlike any we have ever beheld before. We step forward, and we suddenly understand that we are very small, almost insignificant compared to the One who is seated upon the dazzling throne before us. Around Him are beings more amazing and spectacular than any we have ever imagined, and all their existence is consumed with praising and worshipping the One upon the Throne. Light, pure and holy surrounds the Throne like a sun, and suddenly we are dreadfully aware of our own lowliness, our own unworthiness. How could one as wretched as I approach such grandeur?

Yet you are drawn toward it. All your heart aches to enter into that brilliant , holy light and be bathed in it. As we draw nearer we suddenly find ourselves crying out," Holy, Holy, Holy!" You feel as though your words are pathetic, that nothing you could say would be good enough, that no praise you could offer would do Him justice, but you can't stop. His Presence draws the praise from your throat, and you cannot help yourself.

You draw closer and closer, each step more overwhelming than the last. Finally you enter into the light, but rather than being blinded, you see more than you ever have. You shudder to think of looking up into the Face of such magnificence, but you have to, you are drawn to look into the face of pure and untainted holiness and light...

And see your Father. Suddenly you are made aware that your deepest desire is His to give, and He wants not only to give you your heart's desire, but all that you might ask and more. Your Father smiles approvingly at you and says," What do You wish, my child?"

Here is prayer.

It has been widely misunderstood that The Messiah was here giving us a word by word prayer that we would repeat, but then He would be violating the very admonition He had just laid down only a few verses earlier, "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]:"

No, the Messiah was telling us this was a pattern, a divine blueprint, that we were to use as we prayed from our own hearts and souls, and the very first point of this pattern is praise.

King David admonished us to enter into His gates with thanksgiving in our hearts, and enter His courts with praise. Yahweh is our Father, but He is also our King, and the most glorious King in all the universe. Most of us would never think of entering into the presence of an earthly dignitary without showing some respect, yet most don't even think twice about barging into the Presence of the Creator of heaven and earth as if they were stumbling into the corner convenience store for a soft drink.

We are to approach His Holy Throne with all the respect that He deserves. And remember, Yahweh INHABITS the praises of His people. So if we want real prayer, effectual, fervernt prayer, there is no need to hurry. Begin your prayer by giving glory, and all glory, unto the only One who truly deserves all glory, and you may find that this is what you were actually in need of all along, and whatever else you had thought to be in prayer about or for, becomes consumed in the glory of worshipping our Father in heaven.

Our Blessed Heavenly Father Yahweh

Holy, holy, holy, Yahweh God Almighty. Draw Thy servant deeper into Your Presence, for in Your Presence is everything that I could ever look for or need, and in Your Presence, I am changed into all that I could ever want to be.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 66

Matthew 6:10 "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven."

Here, we are concentrating on Yahweh's Kingdom. We are praying for the coming of the Kingdom and the King. Revelation 22:17 "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come." Here we submit all our thoughts and plans to the grand plan of the Kingdom, and submitting to the law and the Ruler of the Kingdom. But more than this, we are praying for the Coming of the Kingdom and the King.

But beyond this we are also praying for the kingdom, for the welfare of all it's citizens, as a whole and the individuals we are aware of. What pastors do we know who are heavily burdened by their responsibilties, the brothers and sisters who are in need of prayer. They are the citizens of the Kingdom, and we are lifting them up unto our King. And what of the state of the Kingdom? Does not Israel suffer from great apostacy and sin? How we should be lifting up Israel as a whole before the King and making it our responsibility to lift Israel unto our King daily, that He might open the blinded eyes, open the deaf ears; to pour out His Holy Spirit upon us that we might be changed and strengthened and healed.

If those of us who have layed hold of the commandments of Yahweh and have called upon that holy Name, would make it our responsibility to lift up the Kingdom in which we are citizens, then much of our own personal need and want might be met before we ever even notice that we are in need.

Blessed Heavenly Father

We praise your Holy Name, and lift up Your Israel people unto You. Israel needs You and Your holiness more now than ever, for we are sick and suffering. Deliver us, O Father, and let Thy Glorious Kingdom come into it's fullness and let The King come to Zion and take the Throne of David.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 72

Matthew 6:11 "Give us this day our daily bread."

We are always looking ahead, but more often that not, in all the wrong ways. We are diligent in pursuit of many plans for the future, but in so doing we tend to overlook a great deal.

:34 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof. "

We are not guaranteed the very next second, all that we truly possess is the very moment in which we live. But notice that we are shown to pray for THIS DAY and THIS DAY only. Walking by faith is an adventure, and if we actually WANT to see the Hand of Yahweh at work and moving in all our affairs and on our behalf, we must "be still and see the Glory of Yahweh".

Have you not yet seen the answer to your prayer materialise as of yet? Do not suffer anxiety to unsettle your resolve to wait upon Yahweh. Do not allow panic to drive you out to MAKE something happen. Stay before the Throne and do not settle for anything less than Yahweh's answer, for anything else will hardly settle the matter.

Heavenly Father Yahweh

Blessed be Thy Name. Help me, O Father, to keep my eyes on You and You alone. Teach me ,O Father, to live daily as a pilgrim and a stranger in this world that I might truly witness the wonders of Your Holy Spirit in action.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 80

Matthew 6:12 "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."

There are many who seem to be confused by the concept of enemies. There are those who are enemies of Yahweh and His Kingdom and His Holiness. There are those who yearn to see the Chosen of Yahweh extinguished from under the sun. There are those who would corrupt and pervert the Kingdom of Yahweh and lead Israel to it's own destruction. Yes, it is these that David, a man after Yahweh's own heart proclaimed," Have I not hated, yea I have hated the enemies of Yahweh with a perfect hatred. " There is a time and a place for hatred, but it is NOT ALL the time nor ANY place. To be sure, there are those who are to be hated, and unto them are reserved Special prayers, prayers for their removal.

But then there are those who are simply men, weak, confused, perhaps well meaning. But never the less they have committed some trespass against us. The same David that prayed for the destruction of the wicked overlooked the wrongs committed against him personally, and would not seek retribution for himself. He had even held the life of Saul in his own hands twice, and neither time sought to harm him in any way. He revealed his own righteousness unto all and secured blessing unto himself and all his descendants forever.

And in so doing secured mercy unto himself, when he stood in danger of judgement. How often have we found ourselves the ones who have committed the wrong? None of us are exempt, there are none who have not failed and faltered in the way and found ourselves in need of forgiveness. Forgiveness will greatly affect the potency of our prayers, for Yahweh knows all that may be hidden from the eyes of others, and it is a law of consequence, that if we hope to find forgiveness, then we must also be forgiving of others.

:14 "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. "

Precious Father Yahweh

Heavenly Father, purge me of all unforgiveness, that my soul might be free from the weight of needless burdens and that I might bring glory unto You and the Forgiveness You have shown to me.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 6

Matthew 6:13 "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Now there are many who have attempted to smooth over this passage, as if it somehow offended their delicate sensibilities. But who was it that sent a lying spirit into the prophets of Baal that lured wicked King Ahab to his death? It was Yahweh Himself. And who is it that, according to the apostle Paul, will send Great delusion in the last days? Yahweh Himself. Yahweh is holy, and He will not tolerate sin, not in His Kingdom and not in His Presence.

But God is love, many cry. So He is. He is also jealous. He is also a consuming fire. The same Yahoshua that gives Himself as a sacrifice for sin will also tread the winepress of His wrath, staining His own garments with the blood of His enemies. To accept only one facet of His character and reject the rest is to dive into confusion and choose to not know Him at all. He has sent great delusions upon the earth, that sin and wickedness might be seen for what they are, and that those who would call themselves by His Name would be diligent in keeping to His path of righteousness.

We must be diligent in examining ourselves and what we have believed, for the Kingdom suffereth violence and the violent take it by force. In pride and arrogance we most certainly lose our way, but staying humble and in the fear of Yahweh, our paths are prepared before us by the Holy Spirit, and we are led to the Throne, where we cast our own crowns before the feet of the King.

Holy Father Yahweh

Keep me, I pray Thee, from all deception and temptation, lest I should fail Thee in any way. Nothing in this world or in my life is worth the horrible price of losing my soul. Only You have the Words of life, and I surrender all unto You.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 102

Matthew 6:19 "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. "

Why have so many pastors, ministers, teachers and evangelists accepted things which scripture itself condemns? Their  hearts are more on the cares of this world than on that which is to come. How could the early church survive the unspeakable persecutions of the jews and then the Romans, The Waldenses continue on century after century isolated from all the world as the roman beast hunted for them, the reformers sing hymns while burning at stakes and all the holy faithful generation after generation continue the ongoing fire of reformation under the tribulation of this world? Their hearts had fled this world, and they looked only for that coming Kingdom promised them in the holy Word.

When men love this world and seek it's treasures of wealth, recognition, popularity and notoriety, they will by nescessity have to mix the light with the dark. But their wealth will fail them, their popularity will cease to comfort their haggard souls. If we would find eternal treasure and names written in the Lamb's book of Life, we must refuse this world and all it's allurements. We must seperate the light from the darkness and never look back.

The names of the past live on centuries later: the twelve disciples, John Huss, Luther, Wycliff, Zwingli, Tyndale, John Knox, Jonathon Edwards, Cotton Mather, Miller, Dowie and the list goes on. And of those whom no ear has ever heard their names, they recieved crowns of life, which in the Presence of the Creator of the universe, they gladly cast at His feet. These sought treasure no bank could hold, and so found themselves hated, hunted, persecuted, homeless and even killed. But ever they clung not to a denomination, not to a philosophy or a creed, but to a kingdom and to the Messiah who had shed His own blood to redeem them.

Here is the substance of faith, and the just shall LIVE by faith.

Blessed Father Yahweh

Holy is Thy Wonderful Name. Take me, O Father, and make me wholly Thine.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 35

Psalm 3:1 " [[A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.]] LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they that rise up against me. Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. Selah."

It is a rather curious phenomenon in these latter days that has spread throughout churchianity which seems to suggest that if we are of the household of faith that everyone will love and accept us. However, this is the exact opposite of scripture for we are actually promised rejection, scorn, persecution and tribulation.

If the Messiah has promised us that even father and brothers would turn upon us for our witness of Yahweh and His Eternal Law, how does this notion of "love and acceptance" come to spread it's foolishness among us? Because men have loved darkness more than light, and the praise and recognition of the world more than the praise and recognition of Yahweh God. The law is not exalted in the mega-churches of today and holiness has been mocked and shunned from the religious assemblies so that the unholy and the abominable might feel welcomed and accepted.

But Yahweh is not pleased. If we would please our Heavenly Father then we must face the scorn of men, and if we would be accepted by the Messiah at His Coming then we must recieve the rejection of those who love NOT His Appearing. Here the just must live by faith. If it seem that there is no reward in this life for choosing that which is holy, hold on, for Yahweh our God has promised to never leave us nor forsake us, even to the end of this world.

:3 "But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. "

Our Heavenly Father Yahweh

Forgive me, I pray Thee, for every instance of doubt in my heart, and help me to say like Job, though He slay me, yet will I serve Him.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 7

2Timothy 3:12 "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived."

Notice that the apostle does not say, "all who would claim to be christians would suffer persecution," but rather "all that WILL LIVE GODLY" . Churchianity is filled with converts but few saints. There are magic shows, rock concerts, fairs, bazaars, and an endless parade of unscriptural activities throughout churchianity, but no all night prayer vigils. There are programs never ending, but no power. Why is there no power? Because there is no holiness, no clinging to the commands of Yahweh.

It is even true that the greater bulk of our persecution comes not from those who deny the Messiah completely, but from those who claim for themselves the title of christian. The light of the godly is unbearable to the gloom of the half hearted, and in an age when compromise and so called "freedom of the spirit" are the banners of the church, those who would not compromise the Word of Yahweh, and choose to live in obediance to the law of the Ever-Living are outcasts, branded and labeled as "legalistic and divisive". But our Messiah came not to bring peace, but to set at variance all who would live righteously against those that love the darkness.

In order to be loved by the world and all of it's accompanying darkness, we would have of be of the world, be of the same demonic spirit as the world, but this would require us to deny the HOLY SPIRIT and it's mission to guide us into all truth and sanctification.

Look not to the glitter and shine which claims to be the church, but to the glory of the One that the world cannot recieve.

Holy Father Yahweh

I praise Your Holy Name, and give You thanks and praise for all that You have opened my eyes to see, Help me to walk truly worthy of all that You have done in my life, and to seek Your Will above anyone else's.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 71

Zephaniah 3:12 "I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD."

Is it any wonder that is the poor and afflicted that will trust in the Name ofYahweh? The apostle James tells us that it is the rich that drag us into courts and oppress us. How sad. There are so few that can be trusted with earthly riches without being turned aside into pride and worldliness. And yet scripture promises prosperity to those who are obediant to Yahweh's Word. How is this? Perhaps it is our definitions of prosperity that are the problem. Most view prosperity in the context of " lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", but actual prosperity isn't about the abundance of material treasures, and can exist even in the lack of material treasures.

:13 "The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make [them] afraid." A remnant, only a small percentage of the whole. How much does this resemble the modern day in which we live; a day in which holiness is a reproach and sanctification scorned and mocked. Many have tried to imply that simply to be an Israelite means assured salvation, but they are all liars. The holiness of Yahweh is not mocked by the vain teachings of sinful men. To be a remnant means to be part of a very small number, but this number is by the grace and mercy of Yahweh our God.

:14 "Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, [even] the LORD, [is] in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more." Here is the reward of faith and obediance. Many misjudge the motives of those that seek after the law of Yahweh, supposing that we are trying to create our own righteousness, but their sinfulness blinds them to the truth. We obey the Ever-Living God's law by faith, but as we suffer the reproach of those who suppose themselves free but are wrapped in chains of bondage, we look forward to the Coming Kingdom and all it's righteousness.

:19 "Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame." Rejoice and be glad, if it is for your faith that you suffer, for so persecuted they the prophets of old and woe be unto us, if the ungodly should praise and honor us, when they tortured and crucified the Lord of Glory.

Blessed Father Yahweh

All that I truly need is in You and in Your Holy Word. Guide me, I pray Thee, and help me not to be decieved by lying spirits, but to try the spirits by the witness of Your Holy Word.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 72

Job 19:25 "For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall stand at the latter [day] upon the earth: And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God: "

The sacrifices offered up under the old covenant were incomplete, although when offered up in faith, faith was what was recieved by our Heavenly Father Yahweh. But now we have a perfect, sinless Sacrifice through Yahweh made flesh, Yahoshua the Messiah; and if we have faith in the Sacrifice of His death upon the cross, we have a secure promise through His Glorious Resurrection, for now we look forward to a glorious destiny and death has been overwhelmed by the Power of the Anointed One.

Luke 16:22 "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. ...And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from thence."

No mere parable is the tale told by the Messiah of the beggar Lazarus, but a description of that state which existed before the Messiah's Resurrection, for here even the souls of the righteous were kept from the Presence of the Father through Satan's victory in the garden. But Yahoshua overthrew the old order and in victory over the grave brought forth the prisoners held for time immemorial.

1Peter 3:18 "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;"

Ephesians 4:8 "Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)"

Matthew 27:51 "And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."

Now the souls of the righteous cannot be hindered from the Glory of our Father, even as Paul testifies, 2Corinthians 5:6 "Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." Thus we need not live in dread of the curtain of death, for Yahweh beckons us onwards. If Yahoshua had not risen from the grave, then we would find ourselves in the pitiful company of the buddhists, moslems and other pagans, for their great prophets lie in the earth still, but Yahoshua has risen and nothing can ever be the same.

Glory to the Holy name of Yahweh and blessed be the Name of Yahoshua

Father I thank You for the Power of Your Holy Spirit, and for bringing me into communion with You through the Blood of The Lamb.

Psalm 130

Philippians 3:7 "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ,"

Here is the attitude and the mindset of the overcomer, the victorious. How shattered people are who have suffered the loss of a loved one, the rejection of a friend, the loss of a home or job. But the days are soon upon us and even now have begun, when material loss will be as widespread as the morning dew. But see the apostle's attitude. All that he has lost has been lost in the following of the Messiah. Yet we find no sadness here, no looking back like Lot's wife. Paul walked forward, away from the glory, comfort and fellowship of his past, rejoicing rather in the Glory that had been revealed to him on the Damascus road.

:9 "And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:" Paul here abolishes no law, but rather sets his attention on true fath, for before the Damascus road, he had sought to establish his own righteousness through lambs and turtledoves and bullocks, but now he rests upon the Sacrifice, given by Yahweh Himself and now walks in obediance through faith on Yahoshua the Messiah.

:10 "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead." Here is where Paul draws his rejoicing in trial, his confidence in persecution, his comfort through tribulation. He is looking forward to a glorious day, a day of unending light when death shall no more touch the saints of the Living God. "The power of His Resurrection..." Paul cuts to the quick here, for the Resurrection is the great nexus of all our faith. If Yahoshua had never been raised from the dead, christianity would be no more than any other religion practiced among the heathen. But we have more than a philosophy, more than mere theology, more than a mere collection of rules and stories. We have life and life eternal. The Power of His ressurection is the Power of life. It is Victory.

It is our victory, for we do not serve a creed or a tradition, but we serve a Living God!

Glorious Father Yahweh

Lead me away from this world and into the purity of Your Presence and obediance to You, that I might also give no thought to this wretched world and that I might be consumed in love for You.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 3

Philippians 3:10 "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead."

The Glory that Paul had forsaken all his former life for had apprehended him so completely that it consumed all his being. Those who have never been touched by the Power of the Holy Spirit cannot comprehend this consuming passion.

And his life canging revelation was not ended. This was not a one time prayer event in Paul's life, but a continuous unfolding revelation of glory, and Paul hungered for more. He was not content with past experiences and revelations, but wanted everything that was available to him through faith and obediance. Everything that had previously been sweet to Paul he now despised in the basest of ways. Nothing that he had ever known before could beckon him back or lure him away from the glory of those things listed by Paul in this verse.

"That I may know Him..." Notice that Paul does NOT say that he may know ABOUT Him, but that he may KNOW HIM. " All Paul's llife he had served a historic Yahweh, carrying on rituals and traditions that had become historic in their observance. But on the road to Damascus Paul met THE LIVING GOD, Yahweh/Yahoshua; and where many would think that they would be content with such an experience, Paul wanted more. The Messiah he had met on the Damascus road only whetted his appetite. Paul wanted to know Him more and more deeply and intimately. Is it any wonder that this man was so greatly used of Yahweh? Paul found that he could be content in either poverty or wealth, but his hunger for more of the Presence of the Messiah could never be satisfied. In the Living Person and Presence of Yahoshua, Paul had found a Glory, a Holiness, a life that was overwhelmng, even intoxicating.

To know Him, had become Paul's all consuming passion, and if we would know the fullness of the New Covenant, we too must become consumed with desire to know our Master more and more personally, to walk in the fullness of what is offered to us, not by a historical religion, but in the Presence of the Living God.

My Heavenly Father Yahweh

Take me and consume me, My Holy Father; make me completely Yours, that I might know You better than I have ever known You.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 8

Philippians 3:10 "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead."

"...and the power of his resurrection," Here is the evidence of the Living God. The prophets of Yahweh were martyred for their faith and holy witness against the sins of Judah and Israel. Many a righteous man and woman had lived and died in anticipation of the "consolation of Israel". But none of these were raised from the grave. David, a man after Yahweh's own heart, Elijah and Elisha, the miracle workers of Yahweh, succumbed to death and were held fast in it's iron grip.

But Yahoshua the Messiah could not be held. In triumph He came forth, showing His utter dominion even over death and the grave itself, and if He is no longer in the grave, then He is alive and we have a LIVING FAITH!

In the light there is life, and if we would have life abundantly, we must seperate the darkness from the light, every single day. Do not be content with prayer prayed "way back when". Do not be satisfied with the Touch of the Holy Spirit you recieved "once upon a time". Ours is a living faith and we are children of the Living God. Let us worship, let us serve, and live the glorious life of those who have been called out of darkness into glorious light, and called to life everlasting.

Heavenly Father Yahweh

Help me to truly walk with You in Your Path of Righteousness, to know You as a LIVING GOD. Father Yahweh, live in me.

HalleluYah!
