Psalms 22


2. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? [You are] far from my salvation [and] from the words of my moaning. ב. אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי:
3. My God, I call out by day and You do not reply, and at night I do not keep silent. ג. אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְלֹא דוּמִיָּה לִי:

7. But I am a worm and not a man; a reproach of man, despised by peoples. ז. וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָם:
8. All who see me will mock me; they will open their lips, they will shake their head. ח. כָּל רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹאשׁ:
9. One should cast his trust upon the Lord, and He will rescue him; He will save him because He delights in him. ט. גֹּל אֶל יְהֹוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵץ בּוֹ:
10. For You drew me from the womb; You made me secure on my mother's breasts. י. כִּי אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל שְׁדֵי אִמִּי:
11. Upon You, I was cast from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God. יא. עָלֶיךָ הָשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָתָּה:
12. Do not distance Yourself from me, for distress is near; for there is none to help. יב. אַל תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי צָרָה קְרוֹבָה כִּי אֵין עוֹזֵר:
13. Great bulls have surrounded me; the mighty ones of Bashan encompassed me. יג. סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרוּנִי:
14. They opened their mouth against me [like] a tearing, roaring lion. יד. פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵג:
15. I was spilled like water, and all my bones were separated; my heart was like wax, melting within my innards. טו. כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּרְדוּ כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדּוֹנָג נָמֵס בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָי:
16. My strength became dried out like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my palate; and You set me down in the dust of death. טז. יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ | כֹּחִי וּלְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי וְלַעֲפַר מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵנִי:
17. For dogs have surrounded me; a band of evildoers has encompassed me, like a lion, my hands and feet. יז. כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָי:
18. I tell about all my bones. They look and gloat over me. יח. אֲסַפֵּר כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ בִי:
19. They share my garments among themselves and cast lots for my raiment. יט. יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל:
20. But You, O Lord, do not distance Yourself; my strength, hasten to my assistance. כ. וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אַל תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה:
23. I will tell Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You. כג. אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶךָּ:
24. You who fear the Lord, praise Him; all the seed of Jacob, honor Him, and fear Him, all the seed of Israel. כד. יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה | הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנוּ כָּל זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל:

The Sound of Heaven Marching.

We have an Everlasting God who has a hope and a future for us.
A God whose plans for us will not be thwarted by the enemy.
A God who is true and holy, who does not lie.
A God that delivers and sets free.
A God who scatters the enemy, who does not let us down.
A God who fights on our behalf. As you told King David you tell us today—when you hear(one of our gates), Me marching in the tops of the Mulberry trees, you will know that My army has gone out in from of you. Is your ear gate open today to hear the sound of the Holy Spirit marching, or is it clouded up with the noise of this world?

Sound in Hebrew is (kole), voice, to call aloud, noise, thunder, proclamation, send out, thunderings, or fame.

My prayer today,
I give you Holy Spirit my ears, to open, so that I may hear Your sound and respond to the sound of Your presence.
Amen.

Refining Fire of Surrender

John 17:22b God loves us the way he loves His Son(Yeshua).
God is refining and purifying His bride. The Spirit and the Bride have to be one and they have to say Come, to the Holy Spirit in a unified fashion.
We must surrender totally INSIDE for the revival to happen OUTSIDE of us--
A Returning(Shuvee), a turning about, 180 degrees, must happen IN us.
The River of God`s love must first flows through us, then out to others.

Surrender is releasing all of your power and control to the possession of another.
As women of God, this means to yield all things held in our hearts to the Holy Spirit. If it be hurt, bitterness, or any other thing that dulls our thinking. These must be given over to the King, by choice. We are the one that is 100% responsible.

A Jubilee in scripture was every 50 years, all debts were canceled and all slaves were set free. All chains were removed from prisoners and all chains broken. Also all land was returned to its original owner. Today in our lives, we need to proclaim a Jubilee. Every offense is a debt that must be canceled.
Every person who has hurt us, whether they were our leaders or we were leading them - we must release them. It does not matter what station a person they holds in life. We must allow the Holy Spirit to remove the chains that have held us captive. When we give these offenses over to the Holy Spirit in SURRENDER, our spirit is RELEASED. Hallelujah!!!!
There will always be people who are bumping us, agitating us, or offending us.
It`s not about how wrong they are or how right we think we are.
It all lies in how broken we are as Lovers of the King. The Word says, a broken and a contrite spirit He will not despise.
More important than being right is being Free. No chains, no baggage. Remember, baggage attracts baggage.(But that is another subject).
In Covenant, we give up our RIGHT to be right.
Love transcends offenses. We must see through the eyes of the blood.
So we must speak forth the names of people who have wronged us, release them.
No one can do this for us---each of us must chose to release those who have wronged us.
It`s not something we can be prayed over for--its a decision only we must make.
“But the greatest of these is love.”
Love covers a multitude of sins.
He who has been forgiven much loves much.

Jn. 16:22b "no one can take away your joy.
The Joy of the Lord is your strength. Neh. 8:10

Forgiveness;
The measure we meet out it will be measured back to us.
Pressed down—30 fold
shaken together—60 fold
and running over.—100 fold

Be Blessed as you chose this day the ONE who is more important (Yeshua).

Who peirced your ear today?

Most women and some men have holes in their ears today that come from a piercing.
This act of piercing is often done as an action to increase in beauty in most cultures around the world.
When the hole is made we hang an adornment there of some kind.

In Exodus 21:6 when a servant Loved His Master, his desire was to become a servant for life.  The servant would go to the master and the master would pierce the servants ear.
"Then his master shall bring him to God [the judges as His agents]; he shall bring him to the door or doorpost and shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him for life."

Also, Isaiah 50:5 says, regarding the Messiah,
"The Lord God has opened My ear, and I have not been rebellious or turned backward."
Yeshua (Jesus) submitted His life to the Father in service.  His ear was pierced and He would not change His mind.  It was a forever decision.
It is the same in our lives.  We must humbly allow the Ruach  (Holy Spirit) to pierce our ears, so we can hear what is being said in the heavenly realm.  

Again, in Psalms 40: 6-8 it says,  
Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
       but my ears you have pierced,
      burnt offerings and sin offerings
       you did not require.
 7 Then I said, "Here I am, I have come—
       it is written about me in the scroll. 
 8 I desire to do your will, O my God;
       your law is within my heart."

When Holy Spirit speaks in our ears we become more beautiful.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, today I ask that you would pierce my ears, open my ears so that I can hear what you are saying.
I seek you today, I desire more of you to become a part of who I am.  Teach me how to worship you.  Teach me how to pray.  Teach me how to listen for your voice above every other voice.  I pray as Samuel, "Speak Lord, for your servant is listening."  Fill me with your beauty today.
Amen
Love your daughters who are clothed in robes of righteousness

The Warrior Bride on Fire

Picture a Bride on the back of a firetruck.
What is it that you see?
This what goes through my mind.

I see her going to a fire.
I see her on fire also.

The bride has a flame for her groom physically it is the passion that burns within her for the one her heart loves. We use the word passion in so many ways.

In passion, in the physical there can be an element of suffering.
Which is not giving up on the thing or one that you love. Going through whatever it is in life that will bring fulfillment, contentment and success.

Fire can burn you or it can warm you. You can be fed by using it properly or is can burn up the thing that would sustaining your physical body.
Just like a relationship: in love or in friendship.

Spiritually, our passion (the flame), (the fire), is something that the Bridegroom ignites if we let Him. I am my Beloved`s and My Beloved is mine. His Banner (shield, covering), over me is LOVE.
The bridegroom can only touch the bride if she lets Him. He is a gentleman. When the Bridegroom touches us; its is where He knows he will get a response from us.

Then also the marriage itself represents a Flame of Fire(covenant), covenants were always made Biblical by a sacrifice which was burned by fire. Being in any relationship is a sacrifice. Again the element of Suffering--in the tabernacle the sacrifice was burned on a Bronze altar (bronze stands for suffering). It takes sacrifice in any relationship to keep the fire burning.

This is just a brief summary of what I think of when I look at this pic.

Rainbows of heaven

Yesterday, there were two wedding rings or rainbows in the sky reminding us of the covenant that is totally held together with an unseen hand. Both are in the sky (or on His side of the fence so to speak), reminding us the covenant is held together - and made by our Bridegroom.  All the work has been completely done by Him--all we have to do is choose, believe, trust and obey. From an airplane a rainbow is a full circle--like a wedding band.  In marriage each person holds a ring on their finger symbolizing covenant.  These rainbow rings are both on the hand of our Bridegroom.  Meaning He is the One that holds the covenant together.  It cost something on His part.  The blood that was shed was His.  

Blessings over all your lives today.
