As no man can control the wind, so no one has power over the day of his death. (Ecclesiastes 8:8)
In the light of this reality, a world of rebellious mindsets and agendas are exposed. It is not just CNN, MSNBC, FOX, the BBC, and your local news channels that become eviscerated, filleted open and exposed, but also your fleshly lusts for their “news and views”. Have you become addicted to their opinions and worldview, or built your identity around their crises and precedences? To the contrary, you should be unaffected by global warming, Wall Street numbers, foreign affairs, liberal agendas, and all of their other seeming priorities and disasters.
Are we saying that you should bury your head in the sand, ignore the things going on around you? Absolutely not! What we are saying is that you should take your rightful place of authority over these things. Yahweh will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of Yahweh your Mighty One that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. (Deuteronomy 28:13) Obey the Almighty and do not let fear of worldly turmoil rule your life. The end of your days is already set; nothing can change that. So, instead of fear and crisis, you should find great joy in Yahweh’s providence.
It is all predestined loved one (Ephesians 1:4). Every aspect of the life you live, as well as the end of that life, has been planned from eternity past; all under the supernatural Providence of Yahweh. Is there any wonder that Yahshua taught us that “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love?” (1 John 4:18) This type of fear (paralyzing fear, dread) exposes a blatant lack of faith in Yahweh’s Sovereignty.
Therefore, with Yahweh there is nothing to fear. If you are afraid, confess it and let Yahweh’s love wash it away. “How can His love cast away my fears?” you might be thinking. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7) Yahweh is love (1 John 4:8) and love never fails. And if love never fails, then there is simply nothing to fear.
The entirety of man’s kingdoms on earth is structured to replicate and reproduce fear, and all to one end, to inspire you to believe the lie. “We will take care of you; we will keep you safe: we will tell you the truth; just trust us.” Trusting in man is a curse loved one (Jeremiah 17:5). It’s time to wake up, not to become more concerned about what is happening in the kingdoms of earth, but how you are responding to the Kingdom within you (Luke 17:21). It’s time to place your trust in the dominion of Yahweh. His Kingdom should dominate your center of intellect. From now on, tune into the news reports from the Government of Heaven and let the things of this world pass away. Death (removal of self) is gain! You must die to the kingdoms of this world; for to live is the Messiah and to die is gain. (Philippians 1:21)

My Son said, My Kingdom is not of this world and I am not from here.” (John 18:36) And, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.”(John 8:23) Surely, then, My supernatural patterns are not for this world either, but for My Kingdom. I save souls and it is always to the soul I speak. Yet, I speak of spiritual things using physical “props”. Props? Yes, everything in the physical world is a manifestation of the spiritual life loved one. If your mind is wicked, your physical world is wicked; if your mind is pure, your world is pure, and so on.
Let’s use the city of Jerusalem as our prop. Jerusalem, as defined in Hebrew, means “foundation of peace; wholeness.” It is meant to describe wholeness and peace of the soul, the mind. Depending on which kingdom you align with, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world,” that allegiance will dictate what you perceive as truth. When I tell you to “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” it is likely you think about a physical piece of land. Your thoughts default to this world, the “beneath” and not the “above.” My Kingdom is not of this world loved one, not of land! I do not command that you pray for dirt; but then again, what do you think will happen with that dirt when the minds of Yahweh’s children are whole and at peace?
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6): Pray for a foundation of peace and wholeness in your mind, a mind created for redemption. “Father, give me the wholeness and peace that comes from obeying You.” This is what praying for the peace of Jerusalem means. And when I answer the prayer, it is the supernatural consequence that the land, too, will be blessed. Spiritual thoughts manifest in a physical world loved one. Now, read Psalm 122 with the mind of the Messiah:
I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”
And now here we are,
standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is a well-built city;
its seamless walls cannot be breached.
All the tribes of Israel—Yahweh’s people—
make their pilgrimage here.
They come to give thanks to the Name of Yahweh,
as the Law requires of Israyl.
Here stand the thrones where judgment is given,
the thrones of the dynasty of David.
Pray for peace in Jerusalem.
May all who love this city prosper.
O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls
and prosperity in your palaces.
For the sake of my family and friends, I will say,
“May you have peace.”
For the sake of the house of Yahweh our Mighty One,
I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.
The house of Yahweh is the Sanctuary of your mind. Let your thoughts become like a well-built city which can no longer be breached by the things of this world. May there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.

Who has ascended into Heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His Name, and what is His Son’s Name, if you know? (Proverbs 30:4)
“I Am Yahweh, your Mighty One, the Holy One of Israyl, your Savior.” (Isayah 43:3) Many claim to know Me, to worship Me, to serve Me, and to love Me, yet they do not know My Name. This is a grave deception which must come to an end. “Thus you shall say to the children of Israyl: Yahweh the Mighty One of your fathers, the Mighty One of Abraham, the Mighty One of Isaac, and the Mighty One of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My Name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.” (Exodus 3:15)
Yet, those who call themselves My children do not know, or fail to use, My Name. I Am exposing your negligence, not to condemn you (Romans 8:1), but to chasten you, because I discipline the one I love, and I chasten everyone I accept as My son [the son I delight in] (Hebrews 12:6 from Proverbs 3:12). I do this to begin the healing, which comes by knowing My Name. For I Am Yahweh who heals you (Exodus 15:26); and for you who revere My Name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. (Malachi 4:2)
You cannot revere and reverence My Name without knowing and using My Name!
o Then men began to call on [worship] Yahweh by Name. (Genesis 4:26)
o And Moses built an altar and called its Name, Yahweh-Is-My-Banner. (Exodus 17:15)
o And those who know Your Name will put their trust in You; for You, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek You. (Psalm 9:10)
o That they may know that You, whose Name alone is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth. (Psalm 83:18)
o I Am Yahweh, that is My Name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images. (Isaiah 42:8)
o In His days Judah will be saved, and Israyl will dwell safely; now this is His Name by which He will be called: Yahweh our Righteousness. (Jeremiah 23:6)
o For “whoever calls on the Name of Yahweh shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13 and Acts 2:21 from Joel 2:32)
To our loved brothers and sisters in the faith, it is time to put aside your generic pagan titles: “Lord, God, Adonai, and Elohim”. Research on the origins of such titles will clearly reveal the worship of Baal and the history of Canaanite and Phoenician idols. Would the Holy One of Israyl ever refer to Himself in such ways? Of course not; it is man who does such things and He will not endure this forever!
o Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart, who try to make My people forget My Name by their dreams which everyone tells his neighbor, as their fathers forgot My Name for the worship of Baal. (Jeremiah 23:26-27)
o And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If Yahweh is the Mighty One, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word. (1 Kings 18:21)
o For I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals, and they shall be remembered by their name no more. (Hosea 2:17)
How often you have called out to such! These titles have always been for idols alone and have no power, so why have you adopted them? There is, however, power in My name! (1 Kings 18) Is it, therefore, not wisdom to call Me by My name if you desire to access My power? I Am Yahweh and My Son, Yahshua, also bears My Name. Yahshua means “Yahweh saves”, or “Yahweh is salvation”. And whatever you ask in His Name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in His Name, I will do it (John 14:13-14). What is My name, and what is My Son’s Name, if you know? There is no other Name on earth by which your mind can be saved (Acts 4:12)! For “whoever calls on the Name of Yahweh shall be saved.”
Listen very closely to the words of our Messiah loved one. Listen to what He declares about the Name: “I have come in my Father’s Name [Yahweh is salvation], and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name [pagan titles], him you will receive.” (John 5:43)
Now that you know, speak My Name as you seek Me. Change your ways and bring Me honor. I Am Yahweh, your Mighty One, the Holy One of Israyl, your Savior.

It’s a Spiritual Kingdom not a physical kingdom.
Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. (Matthew 4:17)
I must preach the Kingdom of the Mighty One, because for this purpose I have been sent. (Luke 4:43)
The Kingdom does not come with observation… For indeed the Kingdom of the Mighty One is within you. (Luke 17:20-21)
My Kingdom is not of this world… My Kingdom is not from here. (John 18:36)
And so it is fitting that we consider that the scriptures speak of this Spiritual Kingdom and Spiritual matters first, the physical merely being an effect or manifestation of the Spiritual reality. With this in focus, let’s take a look at some ideas with our Kingdom glasses on:
Goliath the Gittite vs. David
1. Goliath (from the root galah): A Philistine giant; (to exile; go into captivity)
2. Gittite (a man belonging to the city of Gath): of a wine-press; (treading out; pressing)
3. David (from the root dode): loving; loved one; (to boil)
The Hebraic meaning or root of each word gives us insight into the Spiritual Kingdom; the eternal Kingdom of Light. Goliath is the darkness within you that has been banished due to the renewed spiritual influence of Yahshua the Messiah. Although old ways of thinking continue to press on your mind, desiring to return and destroy that which has been renewed, love that has reached its fullest potential (boiling over) will put to death (behead) the ever-pressing ego (self).
And so when your “self” entertains thoughts such as, “Am I a dog, that you come against me with sticks” (1 Samuel 17:43), you must quickly recognize that this is only your ego attempting to defy the Light which shines within you through faith in Yahshua the Messiah. Of course the old you is a dog! It is a dog ever ready and willing to return to its vomit (2 Peter 2:22). This can be avoided as the David (love) within you overcomes the darkness. It’s all within; life is all in the mind loved one, and the mind is Yahweh’s Sanctuary, if you are willing to receive it.
After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up. (Acts 15:16 from Amos 9:11)
Yahweh Alone
Yahweh Alone
(#355 from Suffer Well Devotional Series©)

My soul finds peace in the Mighty One alone. My hope is in Him. (Psalm 62:5)
These are more than just words, more than lyrics to a song. “In Yahweh alone I find my peace, in Him I place my hope!” These words carry the essence of life. And with their utterance we must stop and consider what they really mean and who we really are. Believers around the world, millions of them, join and sing, some with voices so beautiful, almost heavenly…
“Blessed be Your glorious Name,
Which is exalted above all blessing and praise!
You alone are Yahweh;
You have made heaven,
The heaven of heavens, with all their host,
The earth and everything on it,
The seas and all that is in them,
And You preserve them all.
The host of heaven worships You.”
(Nehemiah 9:5-6)
…and when the song ends?
Are they just words in a song? If you believe the words, then why the sadness, why the fear and all the longing? If He is Yahweh, and He does not change (Malachi 3:6), then what He says stands forever! “My soul finds peace in You alone.” Is it just a song, or is it the very essence of life? “You are the preserver of everything!”
Think about it; if He has declared that it is in Him alone that you have peace, then will He allow you to find true peace in things of the physical world? Can you find real hope and peace from relationships, even marriage? How about the “perfect” career or ministry? What about children and family? To the contrary, He gives us a stern warning about looking for glory in the corruptible things of the world. (And yes, this means humans too.) Moreover, if you are insistent on exchanging the truth for lies, He will give you over to the lusts of your heart, to vile passions, and to a debased mind. (Read Romans 1:18-32)
You will find no ultimate hope or peace in anything outside of Him; so what’s left? If you acknowledge that searching for peace in other things has repeatedly failed, but still struggle to find peace in Yahweh alone, then we can begin. Confess: “I know the words Father, but my mind still tells me, and more often hides it from me, that I believe You are not enough; I just don’t trust You for everything.” And with this, the healing can begin, loved one. Your honest vulnerability before Him will begin to release His peace over you. Let us pray the [royal] priestly blessing over you:
“Yahweh bless you and keep you;
Yahweh make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
Yahweh lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”
(Numbers 6:24-26)
So [we] put [Yahweh’s] Name on the children of Israyl, and [He alone] will bless [you]. (Numbers 6:27)
Yes, Yahweh alone!
There you are

The Messiah in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27)
When you meet a man and you inspect his every word, it should not take long before a determination can be made. Every loose word reduces the possibility; every untamed utterance lessens the likelihood that his tree (“truth”) produces good fruit. What are you listening for? Every word must align with the word of Yahweh (that vernacular we recently spoke of in #351). Mosheh said, and Yahshua agreed; “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Almighty.” (Deuteronomy 8:3 and Matthew 4:4) When men are living, or not living, by the words of Yahweh, “You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:16)
You can easily distinguish the quality of fruit because it is determined by the words oft spoken. Sadly, most of the time it takes only a few words, perhaps no more than a sentence or two, to discern that the quality of the fruit is poor. Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit… (Matthew 7:17-20)
And so you listen with spiritual ears. You filter the words of men through the Father’s voice and by knowing His Word, by knowing Yahshua and the scriptures. With each new person you contact, you look and you listen; “Can they sense my desire to know if You are in them Father? Can they hear You? So many presume to speak for You Abba; I long to meet the ones who do.” Each new opportunity is like a quest for the pearl of great price (Matthew 13:45-46). I listen to their voices, but it’s the source of the words that I am most interested in. And with each word I hear, I am reminded of His promise; “Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.” (Matthew 7:20)
Longings burn within me; “Where are they Father; where are the others like me, the ones who have seen and heard You, the ones who know You?” I plead and rejoice with the Father in these moments. In my aloneness I cry out, “The trees speak for You; and the wind whispers about You. As the sun rises and sets, the brilliant colors shout through the clouds; ‘Does not our beauty praise the Most High?’” I too cannot stay silent; if I did, the rocks would cry out. (Luke 19:40)
I dream of finding Him in another, in their words. I dream of the day when even one soul would speak, and as I listen, the words expressed and sentences formed would prick my conscience. Thoughts would pour forth from my soul; “There You are Father. There You are.” And I would embrace You in my brothers and sisters.
Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity! (Psalm 133:1)
