A Stone In Your Life

 9/4/2022

I'm awake early this morning. It's 5:04 am. I'm listening to a Steven Furtick sermon on YouTube about transition. It's the in between in life. After change happens suddenly, then your in transition and in a waiting period until you get to where you need to be. That's where I am at in life. We are in a transition period. Also, this morning I turned my daily desktop calendar over to Sept. 4th and it has a Scripture verse. The Scripture verse is 11 Corinthians 9:13 PRAISE and then the verse: Those you help will be glad not only because of your generous gifts to themselves and to others, but they will praise (esteem) Yah for this proof that your deeds are as good as your doctrine. 

In the sermon he is referring to Acts chapter 3, when the lame man was healed at the Beautiful Gate. He was lying there, waiting for someone to give him Alms (I see that everywhere, Alms) as they went in the temple door. That's when John and Peter saw him and went up to him. They asked him if he wanted to be changed. John and Peter told him to look at them. They told the man, I have no silver or gold, but what I do have, I give to you in the name of Yahshua HaMashiach of Nazareth, rise up and walk! 

The next verse says the man went in  the temple with John and Peter praising Yahuah for what He  had done because as soon as they told him to rise up and walk, it says his feet and ankles were instantly strengthened. 

This goes along with the verse of the day on my desk. It's about helping others and them giving Yahuah the praise for it. That's our ultimate goal as believers. To walk as Yahshua walked to lead others to Yahuah and His Truth. 

So because these two things go together this morning, I know this is a message that needs to be received. For our deeds and actions to barak others so that they see the Father Yah in us. Just like this morning I woke up dreading the day because I'm not feeling well and I am sleep deprived. Then I realized when I heard the sermon and read the verse that my thoughts needed to change about the situation. I may be tired and not feeling well but I changed my thoughts about the situation. I painted a picture in my mind of a joyful, peaceful, restful experience full of Shalom. I pictured Candice rubbing my neck with essential oil to relieve tension.  Abba Yah has placed a gift in her to bring me Shalom. So, when I thought about it differently, my stress was relieved and I relaxed and didn't dread the day. I know that He will give me enough joy and strength to get through the day and not just get through but to actually be joyful in it. 

The joy of Yahuah is our strength. 

He has promised in His Word that He will not forsake me and I do not need to fear because He will give me enough joy and strength. 

Yahuah is my firm foundation. I need to love without expectation from anyone. Abba Yah has caused me to realize that I need to love without expectation. I need to have no expectations from anyone. This doesn't mean have a cold shoulder and walk around being indifferent to everyone. This means loving them in the way Abba Yah has taught me in His Word and not having any expectations of them  returning anything to you. We may never be seen for our true value by the humans around us but we can always see our value in the Father Yahuah. That's what He is causing me to understand. That I need to place my value in Him and my worth in Him. Not let the situations of others around me control and be the captain of my boat. I only want Yahuah to be the captain of my boat and steer my ship. Our emotions are the boat and we only want our captain steering those emotions to be Yahuah. He is the steady Rock and firm Foundation and we have to keep our eyes on Yahshua through those stormy waters. We have to keep walking in peace and Shalom on those stormy waters, keeping our eyes on Yahshua. Once we take them off Him, that's when we start to drown. It's easy to look at the situation around us and start to sink. That's when we have to come to a place where we realize that we can't let people's emotions and situations around us start to sink our ship. we can only carry on our boat what we can carry. He has given us enough manna for one day for us. Everyone else has their own manna for their day. We need to pray, love and help others around us in ways that we can instead of focusing on and getting discouraged about how we can't help others. We need to turn a positive into a negative. Our mindset has to change and be at Shalom in Yahuah. Realizing that the opinions and thoughts of others around us are just that, they are thoughts and not reality and we have to reject them and pray for that person to be delivered of that lie and realize the truth but not let that lie into your boat. We need to reject the lies not the person to have shalom. We need to pray for that person always. Maybe keep a list of things that you realize that person needs help in and pray daily for those things and wait for the change. So once again, this goes back to the sermon about  being in transition after change has happened and then being in another transition period because you are waiting for change to come while submitting palal for that person. 

If I am constantly being tossed around by the waves, which is people's emotions and situations around me and what they are dealing with, I have no foundation and I cannot say that I am keeping my eyes on Yahshua in those troubled waters. I have mistrusted and started to sink. Also, if my mood and joy depends on others around me and  I am blowing up at people then I am saying that my emotions are my elohim and I serve them. Instead I am trying to stay calm in the stormy waters, keeping my eyes on Him, because He is my Elohim and the one I desire to serve. It's not easy to stay calm when you are being persecuted and others around you are ill and say things that aren't true about you and think things that aren't true but Yahuah wrote it down in Scripture that Yahshua kept quiet with EVERYTHING that He went through and He did that so that we would know that we have all power and authority from Him to do the same. When you stop and think in those moments of persecution how they actually don't matter and are very insignificant once you compare them to the persecution that Yahshua went through. You start to think, well maybe I just need to stop and pray for this person because they are in a storm and they have let too much into their boat and they are sinking and they need to put their eyes back on Yahshua and be delivered into the peaceful waters. 

Father Abba Yahuah,

I am speaking to my Authority and I palal that those around me and I would realize who the captain of their ship is. I pray that you would give them the wisdom to understand that they can only carry what they carry in their boat and that when they start to let others problems in and also problems they create for themselves like worrying about something and having anxiety which causes them to lash out on others, then that's when they start to sink because of the worries in this life. That's when stagnancy sets in so Father Yahuah I pray that the stagnancy in our lives would be stirred. Yahuah that You would send a Messenger to come and stir the stagnant waters that we may be healed. Where there is stagnancy, I pray that it would be replaced with streams of Living Water. Help me to always have compassion on those around me and to see them with Your eyes. To treat everyone around me with love and kindness. Because I see that everyone is on their own boat and some are sinking. They have put out their SOS and they just need someone to see through all the anger and bitterness. They need someone to do what Yahshua did. Father help me to always be mindful of their needs for prayer and realize that this is how I need to respond to anger and negativity. With prayer and compassion so please dear Abba Yahuah keep me mindful of this I palal. I do not want to be guilty of breaking the two greatest commands and I want my actions and deeds to reflect You so that others give You praise and esteem. Yahuah, I pray this for those around me as well. Yahuah, you know my inner circle and who all those around me are and I pray this over them. I want to pray this specifically for Drew, Reagan, Kane and Reece. Father Yahuah, that they would receive Your Shalom today and allow You to be the captain of their ship. I give to You Yahuah in the name of Yahshua HaMashiach. Ahmein. HalleluYah.
