Deuteronomy 6:1-25
Deuteronomy 6
Love the LORD Your God
1 These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. 3 Hear, O Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised you.
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.
10 When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, 12 be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
13 Fear the LORD your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name. 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; 15 for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land. 16 Do not test the LORD your God as you did at Massah. 17 Be sure to keep the commands of the LORD your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you. 18 Do what is right and good in the LORD's sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land that the LORD promised on oath to your forefathers, 19 thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the LORD said.
20 In the future, when your son asks you, "What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the LORD our God has commanded you?" 21 tell him: "We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 22 Before our eyes the LORD sent miraculous signs and wonders—great and terrible—upon Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household. 23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land that he promised on oath to our forefathers. 24 The LORD commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the LORD our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today. 25 And if we are careful to obey all this law before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness."

As a people God had given us a word to remind us of how to follow in his way!! Have we forgotten and fallen astray? Take an evaluation of your life today. We are like the children of Israel, are we not? Yet we do not adhere to the word of Most High...what then shall happen to us on that day of judgment when Yah calls you accountable for what you should have known and done?
African Americans were Once enslaved people in the United states and many other places. Yet we were set free but in some instances with stipulations...Then many men and women fought for our civil rights such as Dr. Martin Luther King. Yet we have forgotten the struggle and sacrifices of our ancestors as well as their God. We now idolize money, lifetsyles, and people as if it is to be worshipped. God has charged us not to forget our past but yet our children today can barely see a brighter future. We must DO SOMETHING! Before it is too late.
Just a thought of today that I am pondering.... I must remember God's word and reflect on what it means for me in this day and time. I believe you should too!!

The Devil is DEFEATED!
Even though the adversary desires to sift me like wheat I can stand on the word of the Most High God and know that Hasatan (the devil) is already defeated!! Recently I have endured trials of anguish, tormenting spirits from hell tying to devour my Joy. They come with lies and distorted visions of my right now life, professing that I need to turn back the hands of time and focus on what once was... Well I stand today as a living testimony that they are liars and I am a VICTOR my battle is already WON.God has brought me too far for me to turn back now! I have taken comfort in the words of James given unto the twelve tribes of the nation:
Trials and Temptations- James 1:1-14
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
9The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. 10But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. 11For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.
12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. 17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
I am thankful unto Yahweh for revealing this word to me in spirit..Now I can stand strong and profess the word of the Most High God....
1The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid? 2When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh,a when my enemies and my foes attack me,they will stumble and fall. 3Though an army besiege me,my heart will not fear; though war break out against me,even then will I be confident. 4One thing I ask of the Lord,this is what I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.
5For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. 6Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me;at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;I will sing and make music to the Lord. 7Hear my voice when I call, O Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. 8My heart says of you, “Seek hisb face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek. 9Do not hide your face from me,do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper.Do not reject me or forsake me,O God my Savior.
10Though my father and mother forsake me,the Lord will receive me. 11Teach me your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. 12Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,for false witnesses rise up against me,breathing out violence. 13I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living. 14Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
Isaiah 54
No weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and this is their vindication from me,”
declares the Lord.
I delare this word for myself and family..I plead the blood of Jesus over my household!! I declare I am an heiress to the throne of the Most High God and no devil, demon, etc. in hell can take me down for HE that is in me is greater than he that is in the world!! I pray that my stance and declaration has given you hope and insight today. May the peace of Most High be with you always.......
