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:

Pentecost/Shavu'ot

Today, are we STARVING for our King?
Are we hungry for every morsel that He has for us?
Are we ready to receive ALL that He wants to give us even if we do not understand it?

2 Chron. 16:9 read whole chpt.
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are blameless toward Him. You have done foolishly in this; therefore, from now on you shall have wars.

Is My heart toward His today.
In this passage the God fearing King Asa made an alliance with the enemy against His fellow Israelite brother.  Today this happens amongst believers and then we wonder why we are not walking in blessing.  This Godly King ended up persecuting the prophet whose message he did not like and also the people of God (fellow Israelites.)


Pentecost/ Shavu’ot June 8th starting sundown June 7th.
Genesis says the evening and the morning was a day.
The Jewish day starts at sundown the day before.

Shavu’ot meaning in Hebrew-Weeks-2nd harvest-WHEAT Harvest.
In Exodus 19:4-25
God said to Israel- “I`ve carried you on eagles wings, now if you obey me and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession.  ALthough the whole earth is mine you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a Holy nation.  The people responded, we WILL DO EVERYTHING the Lord has said.  See, God wanted all the Israelites to be priests, not just the Levites.  But when Moses came down from the mountain and saw the Israelites worshiping the golden calf--Moses cried out, “who is on the Lord`s side come to me.”  The Levites were the tribe that rallied to Moses side ie. God`s side.   Could it be that God chose the Levites to be priests because they had hearts that were toward His?

1 Peter 2:5-every believer upon the whole face of the earth is part of the KINGDOM OF PRIESTS now.
Shavu’ot was/is the time when Moses brought the Law down Mt. Sinai to the Israelites.
SYMBOLISM
Israel fasted 3 days and 3 nights=Yeshua, in the earth days and 3 nights.
Moses on Mt. Sinai was gone 40 days and 40 nights(this was a test for Israel)=Yeshua appeared to disciples 40 days till He ascended into heaven

Acts 1 Ascension
120 disciples waited in upper room after ascension till Shavu’ot(Pentecost)
Acts 2 states, “When the Day of Shavu’ot(Pentecost) came, they were all together in one accord praying.  Suddenly, a sound like a rushing violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
Tongues of fire were seen on their heads, in the same way that tongues of fire were seen on the heads of the Israelites when they were around the mountain that was quaking and trembling. (Maybe it scared them).  Know this that the tongues of fire were not a new phenomenon.

Moses came down from the Mt Sinai, the Israelites were worshiping the golden calf.  Moses threw down the tablets, crying “who is on the Lord`s side, come to me,” the Levites  rallied to Moses’ side, 3000 people were killed that day.
Law=death
On the Shavu’ot anniversary, in Acts 2, Peter preached-3000 people believed on Messiah.
Holy Spirit= life- The Spirit of Grace

When the law was given 3000 people literally died.
When the Spirit was given 3000 people received spiritual, ETERNAL life.
We are people of the Spirit and we are people of life.

Today, lets put aside the things that pull us down and RUN the race of LIFE that the Spirit  has put in front of us, ON PURPOSE!
Lord, may my thoughts, my heart and my mind align with you, the God of LIFE. 
May my mouth align with you, the God of LIFE.
For we know that salt water and fresh water can not come from the same faucet. 
It is either salt or fresh. 
So it is either life of death, blessings or cursing that comes from out spiritual faucet which is our mouth.
May my actions align with you, the God of LIFE.
AMEN
