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:

AWAKEN, AWAKEN, AWAKEN

Holy Spirit is calling all who will hear to AWAKEN out of the slumber of our lives.  He is coming on the clouds with power and great glory and every eye will see YESHUA.
Yes, some scoff and say, “people have been saying this for 1000s of years yet look at us, we are still here.”
Well, Israel was not a nation for 2000 years and Israel is God`s time clock.  Matthew 24 speaks of-when you see the fig tree blossom(Israel becoming a nation), then you will know that my coming is near, it is at the door.  It was a prophesied miracle in 1948 when Israel AGAIN became a nation. This is repeated in every gospel.  We are at a time in history that has never been before. Yeshua said, the harvest fields are ripe and ready for HARVEST. 
 
 Do we have the LOVE and compassion of the KING-Yeshua upon us like a covering?
Do we have the wedding garment of white upon us?  Yeshua is coming for His BRIDE dressed in white, (meaning spiritually cleansed and purified of the heart.)
The Father has provided the wedding garment--we must choose to put it on or we will not be allowed into the marriage festival. The door will be shut and we will be locked out without the proper attire.  This wedding garment is slippery, because the blood is slippery.  Grace is received on account of Yeshua blood shed for us. When we walk in the Spirit of GRACE nothing can stick to our garment.  The sins, cares and worries of this life are under our feet because of Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Grace).

Lord, cause our minds to be opened to your GRACE today.  The compassion and love that you show to us - may we show to others.  For you are coming and we want to be AWAKENED to the complete knowing of who you are.  Thank you that your mercy TRIUMPHS over JUDGMENT.
In Yeshua,
Amen.

IN A TRADITIONAL JEWISH WEDDING THE FATHER OF THE GROOM WAS THE ONE WHO PROVIDED THE WEDDING GARMENTS FOR ALL WHO ATTENDED THE EVENT.  ONE WAS OFFERED THE WEDDING GARB, (PROVIDED BY THE FATHER OF THE GROOM), UPON ENTERING THE DOOR.  ONE COULD CHOSE TO PUT ON THE GARMENT OR NOT.  IF ONE CHOSE NOT, THEN THE GUEST COULD NOT ENTER OR BE A PART OF THE WEDDING CELEBRATION.

SPIRITUALLY-
FATHER OF GROOM = GOD THE FATHER
GROOM = YESHUA/JESUS
GARMENT = BLOOD OF JESUS SHED TO MAKE ATONEMENT (COVERING) FOR SIN
BRIDE = ALL WHO HAVE SPIRITUALLY PUT ON THIS GARMENT
WEDDING = CONSUMMATION OF KNOWING YESHUA(SPIRITUALLY)

THIS IS THE CONTEXT OF THE MATTHEW 22 PARABLE.
HERE IS THE ACCOUNT;
Matthew 22
The Parable of the Wedding Banquet
 1 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
   4 “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
   5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
   8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
   11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.
   13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
   14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
REMEMBER-EVERYONE IS INVITED-WHOSOEVER WILL-WE IN TURN MUST PUT ON THE WEDDING ATTIRE. LET US NOT BE FOUND SPEECHLESS.
LORD, COVER US TODAY WITH YOU WEDDING ATTIRE.

BROKEN PIECES OF SURRENDER

 ALL THE BROKEN PIECES OF YOU LIFE WILL BE MADE INTO A NEW, BEAUTIFUL MOSAIC CALLED YOUR FUTURE.  THE ONLY THING THAT COULD STOP THIS BEAUTY -- IS IF WE DO NOT SURRENDER OUR HOPES, DESIRES, FEARS,(EVERY PART OF WHO WE ARE), TO THE KING.

HERE IS THE STORY OF THE MASTER POTTER.

A CLAY POT BECOMES CRACKED, THE POTTER PUTS THE POT BACK ONTO THE POTTERY WHEEL AND MENDS OR PATCHES THE CRACKED PLACES. THE POTTER PUTS THE POT BACK INTO USE.  THEN, COMES ALONG A POT THAT IS IN PIECES, ONE CANNOT TELL WHAT FUNCTION THIS POT WAS USED FOR IN THE PAST.  THE MASTER POTTER SMILES AND SAYS TO HIMSELF; I WILL NOW CREATE A NEW CREATION.  IT WILL BE A RARE BEAUTY TO BEHOLD.  THE WORD SAYS THAT HOLY SPIRIT IS LIKE THE MASTER POTTER AND WE ARE THE CLAY.
HOLY SPIRIT IS WAITING TILL WE SURRENDER TO MAKE A BEAUTIFUL MOSAIC OF THE BROKEN PARTS OF OUR LIVES.  I THINK HOLY SPIRIT MUST SMILE WHEN WE SURRENDER.  OUR SURRENDER, MAY EVEN MAKE HIM DANCE BECAUSE OF THE BEAUTY HE SEES IN OUR FUTURE. 
JEREMIAH 29 SAYS,
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity.


IF YOU ARE IN CAPTIVITY TODAY, HOLY SPIRIT IS ABLE TO CREATE SOMETHING NEW OUT OF YOU.  HE IS ABLE TO TAKE YOU TO A PLACE OF FREEDOM.  IF YOU ARE NOT SURRENDERED, I URGE YOU TO GIVE UP YOUR WILL TO HOLY SPIRIT.  EVEN IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE REASON.  HIS WAYS AND THOUGHTS ARE ABOVE OURS. 

LORD, 
I SPEAK YOUR LIFE AND YOUR WISDOM OVER EVERY READER TODAY.  GIVE THEM THAT HOPE AND FUTURE IN YOU.  PLEASE COVER THEM WITH YOUR BLOOD.  THE PRICE YOU PAID TO REDEEM US, TO PLACE US IN RIGHT STANDING WITH YOU NOW. TODAY, WE REPENT AND WE CHOOSE YOU. AMEN

BROKEN PIECES-RUINED LIVES-ARE WHY YOU DIED FOR US-YOUR TOUCH-IS WHAT I LONG FOR-YOU HAVE GIVEN LIFE TO ME. THANK YOU-THANK YOU

Ten Lepers Healed, One Gave Thanks

In Luke 17 Yeshua heals the 10 lepers and only one leper came back and thanked Yeshua.  Yeshua healed people even if He is not thanked.  He did not remove their healing, in their unthankful moment then and He does not operate that way today either.
He loves us in spite of our failings and short comings.  He loves us before we recognize things we need to grow and mature in.  His desire is to reveal to us His great love.  His love is not dependent upon anything we do or do not do.  His love is always there and at some point in our lives we recognize who He is and love Him back.  In the relationship of His love, we will recognize the areas of our lives that need  to change.  His mercy and compassion always TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGEMENT.  He is never harsh to His children(us).  Thus, we should never be harsh to each other.  Yeshua was/is the Son of God, but His mercy and compassion toward all people is what established His authority
 
Here is the story;
11As He went on His way to Jerusalem, it occurred that [Jesus] was passing [along the border] between Samaria and Galilee.
    12And as He was going into one village, He was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance.
    13And they raised up their voices and called, Jesus, Master, take pity and have mercy on us!
    14And when He saw them, He said to them, Go [at once] and show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cured and made clean.
    15Then one of them, upon seeing that he was cured, turned back, [c]recognizing and thanking and praising God with a loud voice;
    16And he fell prostrate at Jesus' feet, thanking Him [over and over]. And he was a Samaritan.
    17Then Jesus asked, Were not [all] ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
 18Was there no one found to return and to [d]recognize and give thanks and praise to God except this alien?
    19And He said to him, Get up and go on your way. Your faith (your trust and confidence that spring from your belief in God) has restored you to health.
 
Lord, 
may we give you thanks every day for your great love, compassion and all that you provide for us, in every way, every day.   May we choose to have an attitude of thanksgiving in every situation.  May we know you, as you have first loved us.  Thank you Lord for loving us first.
Amen
