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 Kingdom comes to the earth through intercession.

Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We are called to Intercession as Kingdom workers. To bring the will of Heaven to this earth.
As we pray in understanding or in the Spirit-this is what we are doing. We are bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to the earth.

Romans 8:26
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

This intercession will come from an intimate relationship with Spirit (Ruach).
God calls us to intercede for people, not institutions or names of churches or congregational names. We are to pray for the people who operate in the leadership rolls that God has placed them into and the people that make up the community.
When praying, we often begin to lift up an institution or name as something great and it becomes a religious idol. This becomes the emphasis of our prayers instead of praying for the leaders and people that make up the community. Anything we place more value in than walking in the Loving footsteps of Yeshua, becomes an idol.
Yeshua did not do the things the religious of the Day did.  Yeshua did not do Church as most people today think. One of His favorite places of community was in Bethany at the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus. He went from home to home. He also taught in the synagogues. He was obviously respected as a Man of God and allowed to speak. The history does not lead us to believe that they interviewed Him before hand.  This community lead to intimacy, which is relationship. This again must be in place to bring God`s heart (Kingdom) to this earth.
Religion has hurt the world and the body of Messiah as a whole. It has kept some inside walls,  while excluding others-even those who love God.  This exclusion has  caused us to  live up to man`s wisdom not God`s wisdom.  His tabernacle or dwelling place is within our hearts.  Again a picture of in-timacy (inside of me).
Religion can surround people involved in it, separating or excluding you from others and others from you.  Do you know your neighbors?  Are you an approachable person?
It is so hard to get away from religious behavior-because it satisfies our flesh.
Is makes us feel like we are valuable-like we are something or someone of importance in man`s eyes.
Why can`t we just believe what God says; You are my child and I love you? You are most important to Him.  Yeshua says,  He gave you life, now surrender it back to Him.

Today, freely surrender all to your King Yeshua. Go where Spirit tells you, actor speak on what you hear.  Hear His voice first before blindly following a fellow earthling. We are all on the same level.  Even  the disciples wanted Yeshua to put them above their fellow brothers.  Yeshua said he would not that we act like the heathen, who lord things over each other.  Yeshua is our King.  There is no hierarchy in the Kingdom of heaven.

Yeshua is an intimate King. He desires an interactive relationship with each one of us-not just some of us. This interactive relationship involves "who-so-ever wills" whoever wants or desires it-IT IS YOURS TODAY/NOW!
I speak to my husband every day because I love him and desire him. It is not a chore or something that is ever boring.  Spirit wants this with us also. It is this relationship that will cause us to grow and we will become like the ONE we are following.  The Spirit is gentle and does not push in if we do not desire.  Spirit will patiently wait and woo us with His love till we have the same desire.

Holy Spirit(Ruach Kodesh), teach us today how to become like you. Teach us intimate relationship, how to interact with you daily, to hear your voice and to act upon what is spoken into our hearts. So we can truly be interceders, who bring the will of heaven to the earth.  I surrender my perspectives and perceptions to your truth Abba. I place your truth above my wishes, wants and desires. Remembering that the plan and future you have for me is LIFE and PROSPERITY spiritually and physically.
Thank you.

Amen
