It is amazing to me how often the Yakima Herald-Republic as had articles addressing the Missing persons on the Yakama Reservation and still not find a solution. Were we all not created by God for a purpose to bring goodwill and peace to our land. I have attended 3 meeting that people gave their opinion of what needs to happen and my words are and still is let’s begin to see the need for one law and that is not man’s laws for we have so many that are not working. We need to get back to the way, truth and life that God laid out for us in the Basic instructions, before leaving earth; the Bible. Yes the Bible is being threaten like never before for it brings peace and order and people do not want peace that brings order. We are bent on destroying order that brings people together to talk about what can we do to solve problems, not make problems worse by passing more laws. We have on the books laws that give us justice and need to be understand with the knowledge we now have for the use of wisdom in what we do, so all are blessed. After attending the Tribal prayer conference at the White Swan High School gym to pray about what happen a week ago when 5 people were murdered in the White Swan area, I realize we are all going to die but now we are alive and need to get to work with our hands what God gave us to do as we look at the 10 Commandments found in Exodus 20:1-18. 1. THOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME 2. THOUS SHALT NOT MAKE ANY GRAVEN IMAGES (IDOLS) 3. THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF GOD IN VAIN; SWEAR 4. REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY AND KEEP IT HOLY 5. HONOR FATHER AND MOTHER 6. THOU SHALT NOT KILL 7. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY 8. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL 9. THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS 10. THOU SHALT NOT COVET NEIGHBORS HOUSE, WIFE OR THINGS. This is not hard to understand but Lord help us to see the results of keeping these simple request as we look at Matthew 5:3 to 12 and the beatitudes or blessing gained.
1. Blessed are the Poor in Spirit; for theirs is the Kingdom of God. A. We all have a conscience need of help if we like ourselves for no one is perfect and we are so wrapped up in Pride; thinking only of self, rather than proud thinking of others. Republican and Democrats need to start appreciating one another to work together for the benefit of one another. No one can do this without help from God is loving toward His creation. Nature does not argue with God. It is only man that has the ability to make choices. I want to be saved and our salvation is in a choice; I will accept abiding in the Lord loving hands that are out stretched still to all the world. 2. Blessed are thy that mourn; for they shall be comforted A. This is not being weak but strong, for we are impressed by the spirit of God not to be bored with life, but have compassion with what is going on that is hurting societies and races around the world. We mourn for the missing person. Those that are being murdered, those that are being raped, those with no home and the list goes on and on for we are living in a world out of order and until we cry out to God we will never have peace. 3. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. A. This is a person that is powerless as a new born baby that is given new birth. Becoming a new person as they learn right from wrong. Learning to conquer anger as they are consecrated to doing what is right. Realizing we are created for goodwill and peace and that is working at control of the bodies five sense: eyes, ears, mouth, nose and feeling and the Soul five senses: Consequence, memory, imagination reason and affection that is ready to be all control by the five senses of the Spirit who I worship, reverence and have faith and hope in to answer my prayers. 4. Blessed are those who are Hungry and Thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled A. This signifies growth in controlling the body, soul and spirit so we have love for God, Self and Others as we are transformed to the person God created us to be. 5. Blessed are the Merciful for they shall obtain mercy. A. This is one of the attributes of God as He Sent His Son Jesus to live among us and be crucified as a criminal and say to all Father forgive them they do not know what they are doing. He was put in a tomb and it could not hold Him and He appears for 40 day to people and just before He left to go home to Heaven He promised them to wait and they would be filled with the Holy Spirit to empower them to be really on fire with presenting good news Jesus saves, who? Anyone that call upon Him shall be saved, that is mercy at the greatest degree. No bitterness which is destroying civility among races and nations. Lord help us to be forgiven so we can forgive others and pray for our enemies. 6. Blessed are the pure in Heart; for they shall see God. A. This is growing up making sure we are attaining to higher standards, attitudes and behavior as we see the vison God has given us, for everyone has talents and skills they need to be work at developing, to become pure of heart. That is being good making sure we are pure by asking God to take out all the impurities of our lives. 7. Blessed are the Peace Makers for they shall be called the children of God. A. This is having a Christ like Spirit or influence that is able to calm the storms of life. We do this by making sure our consequences are alive and feel quilt when we do wrong and what to make restitution by saying I’m sorry and meaning it then going on in life being a peace marker. 8. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the Kingdom of God. A. Who are you standing with and by: Prophets and Martyr’s with no fear but being able to identifying with so your able to continue to trust the Lord regardless of what is happen around you at all times. 9. Blessed are you when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and you shall say a manner of evil against you falsely, for my name’s sake. A. This is impossible without help from our creator God for He is the only one we can trust and this happens when. I am abiding in the vine and not arguing with God but trusting God and not trusting man. This is accepting who we are that make us a little different so we can be accepting of what is going on all around us without losing control. Are you see the reason we can’t solve many of our problems for everyone has different opinions and it is not what man thinks for we a powerless regardless of how much education we have we need the Help of our creator for He does all things will. Blessing to you as you seek to do what is right for right is not mine to do what I please but doing to others what I want others to do for me! |
