Joshua was feeling really frustrated lately. Times were starting to get hard and he hated that. He sat down in church doubting that things would make him feel better. Then the precher started to talk.
"We can PREVENT the bad times from coming if we take action now. We can do so by PRAYER. The ones in darkness do not want to stay in darkness. I have seen firsthand what happens when the ones in darkness are led into the light. Let us pray this following prayer
Shine a little light
On the one who cannot and will not see
Let him love u
Set him free
Oh YAHOUA set things right
Your love can turn darkness into light
Help me now to understand
Let me do as you command
In the name of ur precious child and for the sake of all ur prescious children
YAHMEIN"
"Who is Yahoua," Joshua whispered, "This new preacher doesn't know what he's talking about"
"Yahoua is Hebrew for the heavenly father," his friend explained, "and Yahoua-Shoua is Hebrew for the son of Yahoua"
"Oh," Joshua said, "Well why doesn't he just use the right words"
"He is," his friend said, "Our English launage is dereived from greek and latin and when you translate the words to english from their origin it isn't pretty"
"Oh," Joshua whispered as the preacher continued
"We can do so by HEEDING the word of YAHOUA NOT JUST what the bible tells us by what is in YAHOUA'S words to our heart and verbally what we hear. Last Saturday for instance YAHOUA had me go to a show at a local liberary. I prayed about it and did many times over before realizing that YAH had a purpose for me being there. This time it was actually a double blessing. I got to encourage a few people in YAH but I was also encouraged. Many people get too caught up in the 'legalities' of how to do things that they don't HEED Yah's word. An ex friend was like that. She was sick with pharaseeities. ((Acting like a pharasee)) Last year she chose to stop being my friend but I still am lifting her up to YAH as YAH has placed in my heart to do"
"Why would he lift her up," Joshua asked, "She was mean to him"
"But he is better then she is," Joshua's friend explained not at all angry w/ Joshua for interupting, "He forgives her"
"We can do so by lifting up the ones who are making a difference. We can lift up the leaders of today that are making a difference and the one that will bring a lot of good. Any leader of today needs to be lifted up so that his ruachouka remains strong for the enemy is strong but weak against YAH
Let us stop ACCEPTING what everyone else says and act in prayer and suplication onto the heavenly family"
