Torah Reading: Psa 91:1-16
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of YHWH, He is my refuge and my fortress: my Elohim; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made YHWH, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his malak charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
7 Days Without YHWH Makes One Weak (Part 2)
1Jn 1:1-6 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (2) (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) (3) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son YHWSHUA Messiah. (4) And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. (5) This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that YHWH is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (6) If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
Spending Time Hearing From YHWH
Reading the Word..
Mar 12:24 And YHWSHUA answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of YHWH?
Heb 4:12 For the word of YHWH is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Meditating...
Jos 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Tam's Devotion
Isa 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also YHWH sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Isa 6:2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
Isa 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is YHWH of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Isa 6:4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Isa 6:5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, YHWH of hosts.
Isa 6:6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
Isa 6:7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Isa 6:8 Also I heard the voice of YHWH, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
In this passage Isaiah shares a vision. A most awesome vision where HE sees YHWH on His throne His garment filling the temple. And he saw seraphim majestic beings expressing to one another of YHWH's Set apartness. Oh what a sight to envision,!!
Isaiah at that point cries out that he thought he was going to perish! He said he was a man of unclean language, dwelling with people of unclean language... and he felt totally unworthy!
How often have we felt this way? Probably often, for the flesh we live in will NEVER inherit the Kingdom of YHWH. YHWH's Kingdom is a Spiritual Kingdom. We so often judge our "cleanness" before YHWH through the eyes of our flesh, we look to our flesh and we too see uncleanness.
YHWH's Spirit is within, we are the temple of the Ruach today. It isn't and won't ever be about our flesh man. YHWH's promise is to be one with us in HIS Spirit with Yahushua. That oneness is a most pure spiritual bond, and it is living in this spirit that we can be without sin. It isn't our spirit that fails, it is always our flesh! Like Isaiah, we too have been cleansed, our iniquity has been taken away, our sins purged, oh HalleluYAH!
We must not ever let the enemy try convince our minds that we must remain on the outside of the "courts of YHWH", that we are unclean, that we cannot dwell in HIS presence in HIS Kingdom. Remember this passage:
Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of Elohim should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of Elohim cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of Elohim is within you.
Did you catch that with me? The Kingdom of YHWH is within us!
I've shared an expression often, "don't tell others or YHWH how big your problem/situation/enemy is......tell those things how big our Elohim is! HE is mighty to save! There is no fear in HIS Kingdom, the darkness will be until YHWH chooses to totally eliminate it, but what matters, and what is important is, YHWH's Kingdom is within! We have been given through Yahushua ALL power over all the power of the enemy. When thoughts arise in our minds of "being naked" of being "unclean" remember what kingdom those words would come forth from! Would YHWH speak contrary to HIS Word? That which HE has cleansed is cleansed! That's you and I my precious siblings in YHWH! The accuser of the brethren would attempt to bring accusations into our mind, but YHWH is NOT an accuser, those whom YHWH loves HE convicts to repentance, HE doesn't condemn, for there is therefore NO condemnation .....
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in ha Moshiach Yahushua, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in ha Moshiach Yahushua hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Did you grab that with me? Condemnation is in the flesh! There is no condemnation to those who was are in Yahushua who walk in the Spirit, for the Spirit of life in Yahushua has set us free from the law of sin and death, and whom the Son has set free, is free indeed! HalleluYAH!
May we give our focus to YHWH's Kingdom within each of us, and walk after the Spirit and realize this flesh of ours, has to die for a reason, YHWH's Kingdom is Spiritual so let us daily put to death the flesh! Crucify our old nature and walk in newness of life, What a beautiful way to start a new day in YHWH's Kingdom!
Praying the Word..
Mar 11:22-24 And YHWSHUA answering saith unto them, Have faith in YHWH. (23) For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (24) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
The world calls these affirmations (affirming what YHWH says by your words!)
· Every thought you think or word that you speak is setting your course (good and bad!)
· You ARE what you think about and speak!
· Studies have shown that 90% of our thoughts are negative!!!
· Many things that we think and say are undermining us from becoming what we truly desire to become!
· Every affirmation we think or say is a reflection of our inner truth or beliefs (I'm no good, I'm a failure, I can't make it, etc)
· Your ego resists the truth and holds to the preconceived ideas...
Repeating Scriptural affirmations with conviction and emotion will break the ego's resistance.
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Messiah YHWSHUA:
Scriptural affirmations will reprogram your thought patterns, and how you think and feel about things
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of YHWH.
This will replace your stinking thinking with a Scriptural, positive outlook in life!
1) Always make your affirmations present tense! Speak it as already done!
NO! - There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
YES! - No evil befalls me, neither does and plague come near my dwelling!
2) Believe what you are saying.. See it as done!
3) Be Positive! (Some believe that it might happen to some.. but not them.. or "If it's YHWH's will")
4) Speak Scripture affirmations with passion, the more emotional, the more effective!
5) Write the Scriptures on notecards and go through them at times through the day.
Psa 91:1-16 As I dwell in the secret place of the most High I abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (2) I will say of YHWH, He is my refuge and my fortress: my Elohim; in him do I trust. (3) Surely He delivers me from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. (4) He covers me with his feathers, and under his wings do I trust: his truth is my shield and buckler. (5) I AM not afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; (6) Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. (7) A thousand fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand; but it does not come nigh me. (8) Only with my eyes do I behold and see the reward of the wicked. (9) Because I have made YHWH, which is my refuge, even the most High, my habitation; (10) No evil befalls me, neither does any plague come near my dwelling. (11) For he gives his angels charge over me, to keep me in all my ways. (12) They bear me up in their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone. (13) I tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon I trample under feet (14) Because I have set my love upon me, therefore HE delivers me: HE sets me on high, because I know HIS Name (power). (15) I call upon YHWH, and HE answers me: HE is with me in trouble; HE delivers me, and honors me. (16) With long life HE satisfies me, and shows me HIS deliverance.
Rom 8:14-17 I am led by the Spirit of YHWH, I am a Son of YHWH. (15) I have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but I have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby I cry, Abba, Father. (16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with my spirit, that I AM a Son of YHWH: (17) I AM a child of YHWH, an heir of YHWH, and joint-heirs with Messiah; because I suffer with Him, and I am being glorified together with Him.
Rom 8:35-39 Nothing can separate me from the love of Messiah! Neither tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword (36) As it is written, For HIS sake I AM killed all the day long; I AM accounted as a sheep for the slaughter. (37) In all these things I AM more than a conqueror through him that loves me. (38) I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, (39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, can separate me from the love of YHWH, which is in Messiah YHWSHUA my Master.
