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 Fruit of your Life Brings Healing to Others

The fruit that is produced in our lives will bring healing to others. This fruit is the fruit of the Spirit--LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONG-SUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE.
There will never be a law against loving others, or being joyful, or bearing long with others.

Psalms 1 says that when we delight and meditate on the Word of God; we will be like a tree planted by streams of water which brings forth fruit in season. Our leaves will not whither and whatever we do will prosper.
So-- we are like trees that bear fruit when we are planted in the Word. This is not just reading but having a heart attitude of surrender to God in all things and having intimacy with God. Its like walking and talking with a friend -- but this friend, is a friend that you never have to say goodbye to.

Isaiah 61 says that we will be called "oaks" of righteousness, a planting of the Lord, for the DISPLAY of God`s Glory and Splendor.

In Revelation 22 again it speaks of The Tree of Life that is planted on the River bank that flows from the throne room of God. It yields fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
Praise God!!!

A picture comes to my mind of the Word of God being likened to the River of Life. When we, like trees, are planted,(rooted and grounded), we will not be moved or shaken from our faith and trust in the Almighty. Our foundation will be on THE ROCK(Yeshua), where no arrow or dart of the enemy can penetrate. In turn, we will operate in the FRUIT of Spirit and our life will automatically bring Life to others.
Even in the the natural the fruit of every living plant brings Life to our physical body. Symbolically, in the Spirit, the fruit of the Word of God in our lives will bring spiritual Life.

The Fire of God Consumes Us

The Word says in Dt. 4:24, For the Lord your God is a consuming fire; he is a jealous

God. In James 4 says that the Holy Spirit envies intensely over our flesh to be in

full control. When we feel the confusion and frustration; it is because Holy Spirit

is saying one thing and our flesh wants another. So there is a war going on in our

inner most being. But we know that we battle not against flesh and blood but against

principalities and powers and all manner of evil in high places. So WOMEN OF GOD,

LOCK your shield with Holy Spirit and fight the enemy. Your sWORD is the Word of

God. Learn the Word, and work it on behalf of your lives. We are to fight, but

not with our words and attitudes--but in prayer, with His WORDS and His beatitudes.

Our secrets are known to God

Holy Spirit is the revealer of secrets. A Revealer of the thoughts and intents of hearts. Holy Spirit wants communion with us. But knows our thoughts and desires ahead of time. Even before we think , speak, or act.
Daniel the Hebrew prayed and God revealed to him the mystery of the dream that King Nebuchadnezzar had.
"The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;

God has not changed today. He is still the revealer of hidden things.
Do we have something we think we are hiding from God today?
Or do we feel hidden like He doesn`t care what is happening to me?
David said in psalms 139 "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your Presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; If I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me. Your Right hand will hold me fast.
Today, Dear Daughters of the Most High Abba; you are not hidden from His face and He hears your cries and sees your tears. There is no part of you that is not known to Him. Every feeling you have ever had, has been felt by Him as well. Because He lives on the inside of your very being. Even if you do not FEEL His Presence-HE IS NOT A FEELING-Holy Spirit is with you. He says He will never leave you or forsake you. You are not alone. His Promise is true/real. He does not lie-He does not forgive or keep His Word as a human being. He NEVER lies to us and ALWAYS forgives and covers us. We do not have to FEEL Holy Spirit for Him to be there. He just IS.
It is always on our part when there is blockage, its NEVER on His part.
He does not hide Himself from us. HE IS!!!!!

Intamacy Rebukes the Enemy

Lets begin in the physical. God brings together husband and wife into an intimate relationship with one another; then life is produced. A fruit is produced from the love. In the natural we call them children.

In the same way when we spend time with our heavenly Father in intimacy; life, or fruitfulness is produced in our lives.
The devourer or enemy is also rebuked(defeated). Where there is intimacy, no bitterness or unforgiveness can stand. This is spiritually with Holy Spirit and also true in our relationships in marriage. When you are intimate with your spouse the enemy is rebuked, there can be no foot-hold of the enemy. It is impossible to open yourself in intimacy to someone and still be angry. This can be spiritually to Holy Spirit or it can be to your spouse.

Today I say Yes, Holy Spirit let your fruitfulness flow from intimacy with you today. Oh, let me produce Your fruit every day of my life.
