The Day After- Finding Unity and Faith Beyond Elections

After the Votes are Cast -A Call to Trust, Unity, and Faith"

Scripture Readings-

Psalm 118:8-9 (Halleluyah Scriptures- Tehillim 118:8-9)

(Romiyim)-Romans 13:1

(Yeshayahu )-Isaiah 9:6

Family in faith, we gather here, the day after an election, to lift up our voices in prayer, praise, and purpose. No matter the result, we know this truth remains: Yahuah is still on the throne. Our hearts may feel the weight of change or the challenge of uncertainty, but WBJMinistries reminds us that our mission is rooted not in the powers of this world, but in the power of Yahusha, our Messiah.

Scripture Focus - (Psalms )-Tehillim 118:8-9

"It is better to take refuge in Yahuah than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in Yahuah than to trust in princes."

We have seen the campaigning, the debates, the passion, and the division. And now, we stand on the day after—each of us carrying hopes, questions, and maybe some worries. But my brothers and sisters, today is not a day for fear. It is a day to turn our eyes back to the One who holds all authority and all nations in His hands.

WBJMinistries believes in a foundation built on Yahusha’s teachings, in a community that lifts each other up. Let us remember, the power we have isn’t in politics alone but in the choices we make to live righteously, to serve one another, and to spread peace and love. The Tehillim -(Psalms) tells us, "It is better to take refuge in Yahuah than to trust in man." We are reminded here that our ultimate refuge, our security, is in Yahuah, not in leaders or systems.

Trusting in His Sovereignty - (Romiyim )-Romans 13:1

"Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from Yahuah, and the authorities that exist are appointed by Yahuah."

This is not a call to passivity, but a call to faith. It’s a call to recognize that no matter who leads, our actions, prayers, and mission do not change. WBJMinistries, we are called to minister to hearts, to proclaim the good news, to be a light in the darkness. So we go forward, trusting that Yahuah uses all things for His glory and our good.

As followers of Yahusha, we can be agents of healing in a divided world. We don’t look to one man or woman to be our savior. Our Savior has already come, and His name is Yahusha! The prophet Isaiah reminds us, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty Elohim, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Yeshayahu -(Isaiah 9:6)

Called to Serve, Not Just to Vote

My friends, we didn’t just participate in an election; we are part of a kingdom. WBJMinistries knows this well—we have a purpose beyond the political. Our work in Yahusha is about ministering to the brokenhearted, feeding the hungry, and supporting the downtrodden. As we read in the Halleluyah Scriptures, we are "a royal priesthood, a set-apart nation," called to proclaim His praises. (Kepha Aleph 2:9, also 1 Peter 2:9)

Let us, then, pray for our leaders, even those we may not have chosen, knowing that in Yahuah’s wisdom, He uses every person for His plans. Let us serve, let us love, and let us stand firm in faith.

A Prayer for the Nation-

Father Yahuah, we stand united today, the day after our nation has chosen its leader. We pray for healing, for unity, and for courage. Let us be beacons of Your love in times of division. Let WBJMinistries continue to serve with boldness, to reach out to the lost, and to hold onto hope, no matter the earthly rulers in place. Yahusha, our Messiah, we follow You above all else. May Your kingdom come, and may Your will be done. HalleluYah!

 Exhortation- Go forth, WBJMinistries, with peace and power! Remember the words of Tehillim, "This is the day Yahuah has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24) Hold fast to the work we are called to do, for we are set apart, we are chosen, and we are fearless. HalleluYah and Shalom!

Inspiring strength and unity with WBJMinistries and all who seek to follow Yahusha.

Yemaya’s Embrace- Healing Waters for the Community

Embracing the Divine Feminine-Yemaya and the Essence of Strength

Introduction -Beloved community, today we gather to celebrate the powerful essence of the Divine Feminine, embodied in the figure of Yemaya. In our spiritual journey, we find strength, love, and guidance from our Creator, who manifests in various forms throughout our lives. We turn to the Halaleyah scriptures and the Holy Bible to deepen our understanding of this divine presence.

Yemaya- The Mother of All- Yemaya, the Orisha of the sea and motherhood, represents nurturing and protection. She is often called upon by those seeking solace and guidance. In our lives, just as Yemaya nurtures the waters, we must nurture our spirits and those around us.

Halaleyah Scripture Reference-"For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring." (Yeshayahu)-(Isaiah 44:3)

This scripture mirrors Yemaya’s nurturing spirit. As she nurtures the waters, Elohim pours out blessings upon us, reminding us of our interconnectedness with all living beings.

The Power of Resilience- Yemaya is also a symbol of resilience. The sea can be calm, but it can also be tempestuous. In our lives, we will face storms, but like Yemaya, we must rise, embodying strength and grace.

Traditional Bible Verse- "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."(Filippim)- (Philippians 4:13)

Here, we find the assurance that, with faith, we can overcome any obstacle. Just as Yemaya's waves can shape the shore, our trials shape us into stronger individuals.

Unity and Community- Yemaya teaches us the importance of community. She is not just a deity but a unifier, bringing people together through her love and compassion.

Halaleyah Scripture Reference-"And they shall be mine, saith the Yahusha of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him."Mal'akhi- (Malachi 3:17)

This scripture highlights Elohim’s deep love for His children and encourages us to come together in love and service, just as Yemaya invites us to embrace one another as part of a larger family.

Transformation and Healing- Yemaya represents healing waters, washing away pain and suffering. In moments of despair, we can seek her guidance for transformation and renewal.

Traditional Bible Verse- "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." (Tellihim )-(Psalm 147:3)

Our Yahusha is the ultimate healer, inviting us to lay our burdens down and embrace the healing power that Yemaya represents.

 As we reflect on Yemaya’s qualities, let us embrace the divine attributes of nurturing, resilience, unity, and healing within ourselves. Let us walk in faith, drawing strength from the Halaleyah scriptures and the traditional Word of Elohim. May we become beacons of light and love in our communities, embodying the spirit of Yemaya.

Call to Action- I invite you, dear friends, to take a moment in prayer, to ask for the strength of Yemaya to flow through you. Let us commit to nurturing one another, standing resilient in the face of challenges, uniting as a community, and healing together in love.

In Nature’s Sanctuary- Finding Elohim in His Creation

Today, I want to talk about the beauty and power of praying in nature. Let’s take a moment to imagine ourselves in the quiet of the wilderness, surrounded by Elohim’s creation. Each leaf, each ripple in the water, every soft breeze whispers the name of Yah and speaks of His majesty. Nature is Elohim’s original cathedral, a sanctuary crafted not by human hands but by the Creator Himself, where His presence is felt in every inch of the earth. When we step into that space, we’re not just in nature—we’re in the holy ground of Elohim's design.

The psalmist tells us, "The heavens declare the glory of Elohim; the skies proclaim the work of His hands." Each tree, mountain, and river speaks a message that resonates deeply in our hearts if we take the time to listen. This is where we can lay down our burdens, our worries, and feel the presence of Yahusha intimately. When we pray outside, we connect with the rawness of our faith, away from the noise and distractions of our daily lives.

Think about Yahusha Himself. He often retreated to the wilderness, to the mountains, to quiet places alone where He could speak directly to His Father. He modeled for us the importance of stepping outside, finding a quiet place, and simply being with Elohim. So, when we pray in nature, we’re following in the footsteps of Yahusha, entering a space where the Spirit can speak to us with clarity and strength. Here, we are humbled by the vastness of creation, reminded of our smallness, but also of His boundless love.

Imagine praying near a rushing stream, where each sound reminds you of the living waters of His Word washing over you, refreshing your soul. Or standing on a mountain, feeling as though you’re a step closer to Heaven. When we look up at the vastness of the sky, we remember that the Creator of all that we see—the stars, the clouds, the sun and the moon—holds us in His hands. In nature, we begin to feel a different kind of intimacy, one that connects us to something much bigger than ourselves. We’re reminded that we are part of His creation, loved and cherished.

I encourage each of you to seek out those sacred moments. Step outside, find a quiet place, and pour your heart out to Elohim. Walk in the woods, talk to Him as if He’s walking beside you—because He is. Stand barefoot on the ground and feel His earth beneath you, grounding you. Lift your face to the heavens and let His Spirit fill you with peace.

So let’s go out there and make time to pray in the natural beauty that Elohim has blessed us with. Let’s lift our voices under His open sky, let our prayers rise with the rustling leaves, and find that, truly, His presence is everywhere. Elohim’s creation is waiting, and He is waiting there to meet us.

Saturday's New Intentions Blessings- A Prayer for Prosperity, Happiness, and Abundance

 

Prayer of Prosperity, Happiness, and Abundance:

Heavenly Father, Yahusha Elohim, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude and hope as we embrace the new moon's energy. Let this season be a time of fresh beginnings, a season of overflowing blessings, and a time of joy. I lift up myself, my ministry, my family, my friends and my loved ones to You, asking for Your divine protection, guidance, and provision over every aspect of our lives.

May we find prosperity not only in material wealth but in the richness of Your spirit, filling our lives with Your wisdom and purpose. May every step we take be directed by Your hand, that our paths lead to abundance and joy. As Your Word says in (Debarim) Deuteronomy 28:12, "The yahusha shall open unto thee His good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand," may this promise flow upon us like rain, refreshing and renewing our spirits.

From the Halaleyah Scriptures:

O Yahusha, let our hearts be strong and courageous, knowing You are with us Yahusha (Joshua 1:9). Pour out Your divine favor upon us and bless our ministry, family, friends and loved ones with an abundance of peace, strength, and love. We ask that You open doors of opportunity, wisdom, and growth, aligning our hearts with Your purposes.

Grant us the happiness that comes from knowing You, the joy that fills us beyond circumstances, and the abundance of life that can only come through You. As it is written in( Tellihim )Psalm 1:3, "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper," so may we flourish in every area of our lives, standing firmly in faith and in Your love.

In the New Moon Intentions

With each new moon, may we be reminded of the renewal You bring to our lives. Fill us with wisdom to seek Your will, courage to follow Your calling, and joy in the journey. Yahusha, may Your abundance flow through us, granting prosperity in every endeavor, happiness in every moment, and grace in every challenge. Help us to shine as lights, reflecting Your love and grace in this world.

We declare Your promises over ourselves, our ministry, Friends and all our loved ones. In the name of Yahusha, we ask and receive these blessings. 

Halleluyah!

 

Friday Blessings Under the New Moon

A New Moon Sermon -Embracing New Beginnings with Yahusha (Jesus) and Elohim(God)

Beloved brothers and sisters of WBJMinistries, we gather here under the glow of a new moon, a time ordained by our Heavenly Father as a symbol of renewal, a promise of fresh starts, and a powerful reminder of His faithful presence in our lives. This new moon marks more than just a phase in the heavens; it is a divinely appointed moment to recalibrate, to draw nearer to Elohim (God), to open our hearts, and to rekindle our passion for Yahusha (Jesus), our Redeemer.

(Tellihim )Psalm 81:3 tells us, "Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day." As the trumpet sounds in the night, we remember that Yah is calling each of us to awaken, to open our hearts, and to listen closely to His guidance. The new moon is a call to action, a reminder to honor Yah with all that we are and to seek His purpose for our lives.

A Time to Renew Our Hearts and Minds (Yeshayahu)

Isaiah 66:23 says, "And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says the Yahusha." Imagine that! Each new moon, each Sabbath, is an invitation to join in a continuous cycle of worship and gratitude, an unbroken circle of devotion that keeps us connected to Yah, our Creator, and Yahusha, our Savior.

What does this mean for us at WBJMinistries? It means that every new moon is a gift—a reset button. Perhaps this past month was heavy with struggles, perhaps we felt distant from Yahusha (Jesus), or perhaps we stumbled along the way. But the new moon reminds us: Yah's mercies are new every morning! He is the God of second chances, the God / Elohim who beckons us back, not in judgment, but in love.

Opening Ourselves to Yah’s Light

As the moon begins to grow, let it be a symbol of how Yah’s light shines within us. Yahusha Himself said in (Mattithyahu) Matthew 5:16, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Just as the moon reflects the sun, we are called to reflect Yah’s light. When we seek Him, when we surrender our worries and our hearts to Him, we become radiant with His presence.

Brothers and sisters, as we observe this new moon, let us turn away from our anxieties and distractions, and turn our faces toward Yah. Let this be our prayer: "Yah, renew me. Let me shine with Your love and truth. Let my life reflect Your goodness, so that others may see You in me."

Rededicating Ourselves to Yah’s Calling (Romiyim) 

Romans 12:1 urges us to "present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God / Elohim—this is your true and proper worship." As we stand under the new moon, let’s ask ourselves: what can we rededicate to Yah today? Is there a part of our lives we’ve been holding back? A calling we’ve ignored? Let this new moon be a time to lay everything on the altar—to say, "Yah, take all of me. Use me. Guide me

Armored in Yahusha- Standing Firm Against Darkness with WBJMinistries

 

Standing Strong Against Demonic Energy with the Whole Armor of Yahusha

 Shalom, family of WBJMinistries! Today, we gather to reaffirm our faith and strengthen our spirits against the forces of darkness that may seek to overwhelm us. Yahusha's power, His love, and His truth form our shield. We stand in the light and strength of His name, guided by the Halleluyah Scriptures, clothed in His divine armor to defend against every evil spirit, every demonic attack that tries to infiltrate our hearts and minds.

The Reality of Spiritual Warfare- Scripture reminds us that the battles we face are not of flesh and blood but against powers and principalities of darkness. Ephesians (Eph’siyim) 6:12 states, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies."

We must remember that these forces are real. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Yahusha Hamashiach—the true Messiah—has come so that we may have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).

Clothed in the Full Armor of Yahusha- Ephesians (Eph’siyim) 6:10-18 gives us the most potent weaponry we can ever possess: the Armor of Yahusha. Let us put on each piece daily and intentionally, so we are prepared against any attack the enemy might devise.

The Belt of Truth -Truth is our anchor, our foundation in Yahusha. Let no deception of the enemy shake your faith. Stand firmly on the truth of His word. As Yahusha said in John (Yohanan) 14:6, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”

The Breastplate of Righteousness: Our righteousness is in Yahusha alone, shielding our hearts from the accusations and guilt that the enemy tries to plant. Romans (Romiyim) 3:22 reminds us that “This righteousness is given through belief in Yahusha Hamashiach to all who believe.”

The Sandals of Peace- We walk in the Good News of shalom (peace), knowing that Yahusha has already won the victory. Let your steps be steady and firm, spreading peace even amid chaos, just as Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 52:7 proclaims: “How pleasant upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news.”

The Shield of Belief- This shield extinguishes every flaming dart of the enemy. Doubt, fear, and discouragement will come, but our faith deflects them. Hebrews (Ibrim) 11:6 declares, "Without belief it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to Elohim has to believe that He is."

The Helmet of Deliverance- This helmet guards our minds and our thoughts. The enemy will attempt to sow lies, but our deliverance—our salvation—is sure in Yahusha. Romans (Romiyim) 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

The Sword of the Ruach (Spirit)- This is the word of Elohim, the only offensive weapon in the armor. Use it to counter the enemy's lies with Yahusha’s truth. Hebrews (Ibrim) 4:12 tells us, “For the word of Elohim is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.”

Vigilance and Prayer Against Demonic Forces- Let us not underestimate the power of prayer. Ephesians (Eph’siyim) 6:18 urges us to pray at all times in the Ruach, with all perseverance. When we pray, we are tapping into Yahusha’s divine authority to bind demonic forces and protect ourselves and others.

Luke (Luqas) 10:19 reminds us of the authority we have been given: “See, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and none at all shall hurt you.” We stand as warriors of WBJMinistries, ready to engage in spiritual warfare through prayer and fasting.

 Fear Not, For Yahusha is With Us: The enemy may use fear as a tactic, but Yahusha reminds us time and again to fear not. Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 41:10 gives us a beautiful assurance: “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be discouraged, for I am your Elohim. I shall strengthen you, I shall also help you, I shall also uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.”

Whenever fear tries to creep in, stand firm in Yahusha. Declare with confidence that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John (Yohanan Aleph) 4:4).

Conclusion -As we walk in Yahusha’s power, let us continually wear the armor He has provided, fully armed to resist every demonic attack. Stand bold, stand courageous, and know that Yahusha fights for us. With Him, victory is certain.

Shalom and halleluyah!

Guarding the Gift of Sabbath- Embracing Yah's Rest Without Distractions

 

Resisting distractions on the Sabbath

Sermon Title -Guarding the Gift of Sabbath

Introduction -Shalom, family! Today, as we gather here at WBJMinistries, I want us to reflect on a gift so precious and divine, the Sabbath day—a day set apart, a sanctuary in time, designed by Yah for His people. It is a day when Yah invites us to step back from the noise of the world, to sit in His presence, and to let our spirits be filled. Yet, we know that the enemy of our soul would love nothing more than to fill this holy day with distractions.

We read in the Halaleyah Scriptures, "Remember the Sabbath day, to qodesh it. Six days you labour, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of Yah, your Elohim. You do not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates" Shemoth-(Exodus 20:8-10). And in the traditional Bible, this is echoed in the words, "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy..." (Exodus 20:8-10, KJV).

These passages are not just reminders to rest—they are a call to worship, to set apart all that would pull us from Yah. They are an invitation to a sacred space of reverence, of love, and focus on our Creator.

Main Message-In our fast-paced world, we are constantly bombarded by demands on our time and energy. But Yah, in His infinite wisdom, designed the Sabbath as a time when we should intentionally put these distractions away. Here at WBJMinistries, we emphasize the importance of this obedience, not just for tradition’s sake but because of the deep, soul-renewing relationship it fosters between us and Yahusha.

The Halaleyah Scriptures reveal a powerful truth when Yahusha said, "Come to Me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I shall give you rest" MattithYahu-(Matthew 11:28). This rest is not just physical—it is a spiritual renewal that is essential to our walk. When we chase distractions on the Sabbath, we are missing out on this rest. We are robbing our spirits of the rejuvenation they need.

The Nature of Distractions -Distractions are subtle. They don’t always appear in the form of work; sometimes, they come dressed as entertainment, as a notification on our phones, or even as worries that creep into our minds. These distractions keep us away from that place of stillness, from hearing Yah's voice. And each time we give in to them, we’re saying, “This moment, this thing, is more important than my time with Yah.”

Consider the traditional text from(Tellihim )Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am Elohim...” The Halaleyah Scriptures expand on this as well, reminding us that Yah’s presence is not found in busyness or chaos but in the stillness of a soul that seeks Him. This day is Yah’s gift to us—a time to press pause on everything else and to realign our spirits with His divine purpose.

A Call to Realign -WBJMinistries calls on each one of us to realign with this holy command, to sanctify the Sabbath by pushing away distractions and allowing the fullness of Yah’s presence to fill us. This Sabbath, let us recommit ourselves to Yah and ask Him to help us silence the distractions that compete for our hearts. Let us turn off the "I must get this done" or "The To Do List" mindset with Shopping or Errands; Family or Social Commitments; Household Chores; Personal Stressors and Worry; Social Media and Entertainment, close the door to all unnecessary concerns, and sit before Yah as His children, hungry for His word, thirsty for His wisdom, and yearning for His rest.

Closing: As we close, remember that the Sabbath is a reflection of Yah’s perfect peace. This is the day He set apart so that we might set ourselves apart with Him. The distractions will always be there, but Yah’s call is greater, His peace deeper, and His love for us more profound than anything this world can offer.

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who stays in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit. Because without Me, you are able to do naught” Yohanan-(John 15:5, Halaleyah Scriptures). This is what we carry into the Sabbath: an understanding that, without Yahusha, nothing is fruitful, nothing is meaningful.

So, on this day, let us honor Him by giving our full attention, our undivided hearts, and our praise. WBJMinistries stands with you in this commitment to make the Sabbath sacred once again.

May we all find peace and restoration as we embrace the Sabbath and stand firm against distractions, holding tight to Yah’s loving command.
