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:

Job`s Prayers for His Friends Brought Double-Portion Abundance

Job`s Story in the scriptures is a popular one.

People use the Phrase “I feel like Job,” meaning everything is going wrong in there

lives and there is no reprieve. Job was tested by God. His health was attacked.

His finances were attacked. His wife mocked him. His children died. His friends

who sat with him did not encourage Him, but judged him.

A huge statement, of great significance, at the end of the book says; “After Job

prayed for his friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as

much as he had before." Job`s forgiveness brought a double-portion of abundance.

Job forgiving his friends for the judgment they placed upon him is very key!

Proof of Job`s forgiveness was the fact that he prayed for the ones who were

standing in judgment.


Today this can be a hard act(Forgiveness is an action), to follow, but it is

required for us to be free. If we do not forgive those who have wronged us, our

prayers will be hindered. This can be our husband, wife, fellow believers,

employers, employees, or yourself; basically anyone who constantly remembers the

thing that someone has done against them. Yeshua said in His prayer, forgive us

our debts as we forgive our debtors. As we forgive, we will be forgiven by our

heavenly Abba(father). It will not feel as though our prayers are hitting brass.


To forgive means to cancel a debt or debt cancellation. When a financial debt is

canceled on your behalf, it is not remember, it is forgotten. Yeshua says that our

sins(missing the mark), are cast into the sea of forgetfulness. They will not be

remembered again by God.


Why? Because Yeshua paid a debt for us that we could never repay, we owed too much.


Yeshua, with His blood has wiped out the certificate of debt that we owed. Its

like He has paid our mortgage (for those who own a house), only this debt was

spiritually much greater. It was life for life. We cannot place a price tag on a

human life. It is too valuable, to price.


We must FORGIVE/FORGET the past—press on to future, run the race that is set before

us. The past is dead and gone. For the plans I have for you are not to harm you,

but to prosper you, to give you a hope and a future.


Have you gone to the ocean of your past(even recent past), and pulled out the

offenses or wrongs done against you?


Remember, as Job`s prayers for his friends brought back the abundance in his life:

so when we forgive those that has wronged us....... God will restore what the enemy

has stolen. God will restore a double-portion abundance.


Do you want double-portion abundance in your life today?


Dear Lord, forgive me for any unforgiveness I have harbored toward anyone in my life. Restore to me the JOY OF THY SALVATION. Restore the Double Portion Abundance of your favor in every area of my life. Amen!!
