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:

I LAW YOU OR I LOVE YOU

 In John 8 we read the story of a woman caught in the very act of adultery.  The Pharisees bought her to Yeshua and asked Yeshua if He agreed with the Law that said she should be stoned.  Yeshua was in the Temple teaching when this occurred.  Now the Temple was built on a stone foundation. Yeshua stooped down and wrote on the stone.  Yeshua quite possibly was writing the ten commandments on the stone in the dust, with His finger.  The Law of Moses was written upon stone because it was not flexible, it was hard like a rock and one could not bend it.  Even though God has always been a God of mercy that triumphs over judgement.  His Law was His Covenant Word and He would not go back on it.  So when Yeshua came, He came with a new commandment that we love one another as He has loved us.   Yeshua said to the Pharisees, "he who is without sin can cast the first stone.  Yeshua was the only one present who was sinless.  He had the authority to stone the woman caught in adultery, as He was sinless, But He chose to say, "neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more."


Today I ask, where are you in this?
When you clearly could throw the book at someone or could accuse them fair and square,  which way would you chose?  Would you choose to love them or do you law them?  
We are living under the New Commandment that Yeshua gave that we love each other, the way He loves us.  It is always easier to law someone than love them.
It even feels good to law someone rather than love them.  
It is also the fair side of our human nature that comes out and says, "that person should pay."
Or do we say what the girl in "Soul Surfer" said, your hardness on me made me into a better person."
Watch the movie, it teaches us how to love the person who is not nice to us.  
Can you heap coals of fire on the person`s head who has mistreated you in some way?
Proverbs says,
 25:21-22  If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink, for you will heap burning coals on his head,
    and the Lord will reward you





John 8:15 Yeshua says, You judge by human standards; I (Yeshua) pass judgment on no one.
Why do we think we have the right to pass judgment, when the ONE who is sinless, Yeshua, chooses to judge no one? 
When we walk with the Blood of Yeshua applied to our hearts, we will never be lawed (stoned), to death.   We are walking under the covering of the New Covenant (new commandment) that Yeshua gave to us.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

LONELY BELOVED ONE

  To every person who is lonely today, I want you to know that you have a BELOVED that calls to you "BELOVED."  It is Yeshua, Jesus, the Messiah for ALL people!  There are many circumstances in life that may cause us to be lonely.  You may be a single person longing for a partner, you may be marriage, but your husband or wife does not really see you are part of their live.  It is actually worse to be with someone and not be noticed, than to be single.  You may be a teenager that is never understood by your parents or people who say they are your friends.  Maybe you have been bullied or pushed around by school-mates or fellow employees.  Maybe you are a young girl who just found out you are pregnant and do not know how you will tell your parents, or maybe you do not even have parents to tell.  Maybe you have been misunderstood by your whole world around you.  Maybe you are in a hospital room and your family is too busy to even come see you or maybe you do not have  family.  Whatever the situation or circumstance in your life is; I am here to tell you that you have A FOREVER FRIEND, the Holy Spirit, on the inside of you.  Speak to Holy Spirit and you will begin to find peace in whatever situation you are in.  Holy Spirit is (the exact representation of who Jesus is), on the inside of you.  Holy Spirit is your COMFORTER, LAWYER, COUNSELOR and FRIEND.  Holy Spirit will never leave you or forsake you.  You are under a covering.  Oh, the ONE who cares for you and loves you so much He died for you, to ransom you back to the Father for a price(giving His life), is wrapping His huge arms around you NOW.  He says to you that He loves you so much.  Believe it, do not doubt His love.  It is without a price. Is 55


Here is how precious you are to God.
Song of Solomon 2
 8 Listen! My beloved!
   Look! Here he comes,
leaping across the mountains,
   bounding over the hills.
9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
   Look! There he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
   peering through the lattice. (He is peeking into your heart)
10 My beloved spoke and said to me,
   “Arise, my darling,
   my beautiful one, come with me. (He wants you to follow Him)
11 See! The winter is past; (the things that are dead of your past)
   the rains are over and gone. (rain of Holy Spirit causes new things to grow inside you)
12 Flowers appear on the earth; (new life in Messiah will spring forth in you)
   the season of singing has come, (you are a new creation in Him)
the cooing of doves (Holy Spirit)
   is heard in our land. (your body is the land)
13 The fig tree forms its early fruit;
   the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. (your life has a smell that goes up to heaven)
Arise, come, my darling;
   my beautiful one, come with me.”(follow Holy Spirit, He will open your mind to things you never dreamed of)

  
 14 My dove in the clefts of the rock,
   in the hiding places on the mountainside,
show me your face, (He wants to show you who He is, follow His voice)
   let me hear your voice; (open my ears to hear you)
for your voice is sweet, (so I can hear you)
   and your face is lovely.
15 Catch for us the foxes, (the things the deceiver(Satan) throws at you daily)
   the little foxes
that ruin the vineyards,
   our vineyards that are in bloom.(your heart that is in bloom)



Many people interpret Song of Songs as between husband and wife, but it is first the REINCARNATE Messiah to every person on the face of the earth.

OIL OF THE PRESENCE DELIVERS YOU FROM THE ENEMY

Yeshua gave us a story of the spiritual End of the Age(not the end of the world).  This story comes from Matthew 25, the story of the 10 virgins.
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of the virgins were foolish, and five were wise. When  the foolish ones took their lamps, they did not take extra  olive oil  with them. But the wise ones took flasks of olive oil with their lamps. When  the bridegroom was delayed a long time, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is here! Come out to meet him.’  The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ ‘No,’ they replied  ‘There won’t be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ But while they had gone to buy it, the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding banquet. Then  the door was shut. Later,   the other virgins came too, saying, ‘Lord, lord! Let us in!’  But he replied,  ‘I tell you the truth,  I do not know you!’ Therefore stay alert, because you do not know the day or the hour.   Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.

The most important thing about this  passage is that oil that was found in the lamps of half of the women.  The lamps represent our hearts and the oil is the Holy Spirit anointing(INTIMACY).  When I fill my love tank with my husband, it is not necessarily a physical thing, but it is the TIME we spend together.  It is the TIME we take to get to know each other, as we live together.  It is being a part of each other in every way.  One cannot accomplish this without TIME!  So, how much time have you spent speaking with your Creator today?  How full your Lamp(heart) is, shows how much oil(Holy Spirit) is there.  How much oil do you have today?  Would the Bridegoom(Yeshua) say that He is a part of your Life?  Or would Yeshua say this one does not have TIME for me today?  

This same oil(Holy Spirit) that is IN our Lamp(heart), is the oil that will destroy every burden or yoke of the enemy,  our sin, or the sins that have been done to us.  This oil of Holy Spirit is the bondage/slavery breaker in our lives.  Believe it and walk in Holy Spirit victory today!

Isaiah 10:27
It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke/slavery will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. 

The Blood of Yeshua has destroyed every burden, every yoke, every curse, every sin we have committed or sin that has been committed against us.  Let Yeshua`s Lamp-stand of seven(completion) lights flood your lamp today with the spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Wisdom, The Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of knowledge, the Spirit of Power, the Spirit of Might, the Spirit of Counsel, and the Spirit of the Reverence of the Lord.  Isaiah 11:1-2


Praise Yeshua for the Blood

ARE YOU EATING OR THROWING AWAY SEED?

 I have a hard time eating or throwing seeds away!
Are you eating your seeds or throwing your seeds away?  This is the Question.  The farmer knows that unless he saves the seeds and plants them, he will not have a harvest.  So to is the kingdom of God like a field that when the seeds are planted, the rains come and then a harvest is produced.  The harvest must be patiently waited for.  You cannot harvest when it is raining! No, the field must be dried from the rain so the farmer can harvest.  A farmer never goes into the field when the ground is wet.  If he does, he will get stuck!  So to when the Holy Spirit sends the rain into our lives, it will cause the fruit we produce to ripen and THEN when the hearts have dried from the Rain of Holy Spirit, the harvest can take place. We await our husbandman/groom patiently.
James 5:7-8
Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.  You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

THE PERSISTENCE TO RECIEVE HOLY SPIRIT

The person who is PERSISTENT in asking, is the one who will receive.  This is a PROMISE to everyone. 
Luke11:9 “So  I tell you: Ask,   and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door  will be opened for you. For everyone who asks  receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door  will be opened.  What father among you, if your  son asks for   a fish, will give him a snake  instead of a fish?  Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, although you are   evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit   to those who ask him!”


What do you need from Holy Spirit today?  What gift or fruit of the Holy Spirit do you need more of?  We need the Wisdom of Holy Spirit to live daily!  We need to ask and knock in prayer to see more, to hear more.  Today, I urge you to ASK! He answers prayer!  The Father will give HOLY SPIRIT to those who ask for HOLY SPIRIT!  Our guide for LIFE!


Today, do not be discouraged, keep asking for the impossible, it will manifest, it will come to pass. Ask the Holy Spirit to Align your mind with Mind of Messiah today.  Ask for Messiah`s vision to become your vision for your LIFE.  Seek His PRESENCE and all these things will be added unto you.  Do not forget that Mary chose the better part.  Mary chose to sit at the feet of Yeshua and to be filled, so then she could give from a place of fullness.   Martha gave from what she did not have and thus became weary in doing good.  We will die spiritually, grumble and complain if we give from a well that is dry.


HOLY SPIRIT FILL ME TODAY WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE FOR ME.  I HUMBLE MYSELF TO RECEIVE EVERYTHING FROM YOUR HAND, EVEN THE THINGS THAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.  I SEEK YOU.  I KNOCK.  OPEN TO ME THE WISDOM OF YOUR WORD AND THE VISION THAT IS YOURS, MAY IT BECOME MINE THIS DAY. AMEN

PASSOVER IS FOR YOU TODAY!

What is Passover? 


 Exodus 12 is the story of the Jewish people and how they came out of Egypt.  They were told not to eat bread with leaven(bread with yeast) for 7 days.  Why?  Leaven represents sin.  When you make bread, you put yeast in the dough to make it rise and become fluffy.  When we are spiritually fluffy, puffed up, we are prideful.  God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.  In humility we must surrender the dirt in our lives asking Holy Spirit to put His perfectness upon us. This is the symbolism behind not eating physical yeast during the week of Passover.  Spiritually we take the Word(Yeshua is the Word that came in the flesh), into our hearts and minds and are changed to be Yeast(sin free), because of the sacrifice that Yeshua made on our behalf.
1 Cointhians 5:7, 8 says,  clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough – you are, in fact, without yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.  This means that in Messiah Yeshua, His blood that has never stopped flowing is covering you at all times.


In Messiah, YOU ARE WITHOUT YEAST, this is what the Word says.

Next, the Jewish people were to to take a Lamb, one year old,  from their own flock without BLEMISH.  They were to take the Lamb into their own home and live with it and love it for 4 days (the 10th - 14th of Nissan).  Then the Lamb was to be roasted whole on a rod over a fire, not one bone was to be broken of the Lamb.  The intestines were wrapped around the horns like a crown.  At the time of the evening sacrifice the Lamb was to be killed.  The BLOOD of the Lamb mixed with hyssop was painted upon the doorposts of the Jewish homes or dwelling places and the Lamb was to be totally eaten.   Anything that was left of the Lamb that was not eaten had to be burned, symbolizing that flesh cannot be left alone, it must be surrendered and be put to death. 

Next, the people were to eat the dinner with their cloaks tucked into their belts, their sandals on their feet and their staff their hands. They were to be prepared.  Today we are to have oil in our lamps, the authority, (sandals), on our feet with the gospel of peace and the staff of comfort in our hands.  Psalms 23 thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."


Yeshua is the Passover Lamb that was without Blemish of the biological family, (flock), of the Jewish people.  No sin was found in Him, that is why Yeshua could take our sin upon Himself.  
2 Corinthians 5:21 
 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that IN HIM WE might become the righteousness of God.

Yeshua went up to Jerusalem 4 day before His death, just as the Lamb was taken into the Jewish people`s homes 4 days before Passover (10th-14th of Nissan).   Yeshua went into the dwelling of His earthly people Jerusalem.
Yeshua road into Jerusalem on a donkey, (donkeys are precious).  Donkeys may be stubborn, but they are a beast that carries burdens.  The donkey had the job of carrying Yeshua into a place that would reject Him.  ARE YOU WILLING TO BE A DONKEY?  
A donkey was also used to turn the mill of the olive crusher so that the oil would flow.  Yeshua  was THE ONE who would be crushed for the whole world, so that the anointing oil of the Holy Spirit could flow into us.  Thus, Yeshua road a donkey into Jerusalem!
Zechariah 9:9  “Say to Daughter Zion,
   ‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
   and on a colt, the foal of a donkey



Not a bone in the Lamb`s body was to be BROKEN.  In Psalms 22 it says when the Messiah dies not a bone in His body would be broken.
Psalms 22:17-18
All my bones are on display(unbroken);
   people stare and gloat over me.
18 They divide my clothes among them
   and cast lots for my garment.  

Yeshua`s clothes were divided  among the Roman soldiers after His death.


The intestines were to be wrapped around the horns, symbolizing the dirt of the inside, literally excrement), being placed upon the horns of the head of the Passover Lamb.  This symbolizes the the humility it took for Yeshua to take our excrement, (sin), upon His head as a CROWN of thorns.  The Horns of the LAMB represent POWER and the HEAD represents AUTHORITY.  Yeshua took our heart dirt upon Himself, it pierced His head like the CROWN OF THORNS, because He was without sin.  Literally in history this was known as the CROWN OF SHAME.  Yeshua had the  POWER and AUTHORITY, being without sin, to  redeemed us, for a price(His death).  The Father paid the price of His SON`s death, Yeshua, to redeem mankind back to Himself.


In a Passover Seder their is something called "THE UNITY."  It is 3 Matzot wrapped in a cloth.  The middle Matzah is taken out and broken in half.  One half of the Matzah is broken between everyone at the table, symbolizing the perfect Messiah`s body broken and we are partakers of His broken body.  The other half of the Matzah is wrapped in a linen napkin, and hidden by the FATHER.  The children then go and find the Matzah, and the Father RANSOMS/REDEEMS the Matzah back for a Price.  Every single Jewish home does this every year at Passover Seders all over the world.  
We are the children that when we find Yeshua, (the Matzah), the Father redeems us back for a Price, the death of His Only Begotten Son.  He paid the price that we could not ever pay. 
Yeshua is ABLE,(MUST), caste our sin as far as the east is from the west, and remember them no more.
Yeshua died at the time of the evening sacrifice, exactly when the Passover Lamb was to be slaughtered.

Last, in the Exodus story, the Lamb was sacrificed, eaten, and blood placed upon the door posts; the Angel of Death came through and killed the firstborn of all humans and animals that did not have the blood mixed with hyssop painted on their door posts.  The door posts symbolizes our hearts.    It is the Gateway into our spiritual body.  They literally painted a mark on the sides and top of the door  frames, (below the mark that was used).  If the Blood was not applied to the door posts, physical death came.  Now in Yeshua, if the blood is not applied to the spiritual door posts of our hearts there will be a spiritual death now and in the life to come.  Thus, PASSOVER means that death Passed Over them and could not touch them.  They were covered by the blood.




The Blood mixed with hyssop  stands for purification.  Symbolically we place the Blood of the perfect and pure Lamb of God upon the doors of our hearts. 
  
Today, Yeshua says you are my SON and you are my DAUGHTER.  I died for you because I love you, unconditionally!

We are being made into the likeness of the Son, Jesus(Yeshua). Praise Yeshua for His Great Grace, His Spirit. As we focus upon Him and His Word are minds will be changed and we will be like Him. As a man thinketh so is he. But you have the mind of Messiah. We are free in Messiah, His blood presents us faultless before the throne of Grace. Jude understood that the blood presents us faultless before the Father in Grace.
