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:

WALK IN HIS PERFECTION

 In the Old Covenant the Lamb that was sacrificed for sin had to be without spot or blemish even down to the roots of the fur of the animal.  Every time the sacrificial Lamb was brought before the High Priest, it was examined to determine the Lamb`s purity, the Lamb`s perfectness, and the Lamb`s sinlessness (remember animals do not sin, they do not have free will as humans).  The sins of the person, bringing the sacrifice, were imputed or transferred into the animal, causing the person to no longer have the sin, bringing perfection by the death of the Lamb.  But an animal`s sacrifice only lasted till the next time a person sinned, as animals are not Kinsmen to humans.  Animals were made after their kind and humans in the image of God.  Mankind needed something spiritually after their kind to die on their behalf.  Mankind needed a Kinsman Redeemer!  A Redeemer who was part of mankind and part of Godkind.
THIS IS WHERE YESHUA`S SACRIFICIAL WORK CAME INTO PLACE!

So now I ask, WHO was examined the person bringing the sacrifice or the Lamb?
Num. 6:14

and he shall offer his offering to the LORD, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for shalom offerings,
The sacrificial offering was examined, not the person bringing the offering.
Yeshua IS the sacrificial offering today that is without blemish.  Yeshua IS the ONE who is examined on our behalf to see if He is perfect.  Yeshua IS the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.  This is why in 1Thes. 5:23 Yeshua presents us faultless before the mercy seat in the throne room of God.  God does not look at the one bringing the offering, but at the offering itself, His Son.
"May the God of shalom himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved complete without blame at the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah."

In the Greek these words are translated as;
Preserved-tēreō-KEEP.
Complete-holoklēros-complete in all its parts, in no part wanting or unsound, complete, entire, whole, free from sin, faultless.
Without Blame-amemptōs- blameless, so that there is no cause for censure.

For example; today in a court of law, a verdict of "not guilty" is based on the lawyers ability to prove innocence.  Spiritually, through Yeshua`s death, the blood of the offering causes us to be proved innocent.  Our sin was transferred or imputed into Yeshua.  Yeshua`s( our Kinsmen Redeemer`s) innocence was transferred or imputed to us, by His death.   Yeshua is our lawyer that the Father examines and then pronounces us "NOT GUILTY!"  Hallelujah!  You can walk out of the court room/Holy of Holies in freedom, without any chains.
The next time you worship, which should be a daily act, realize that when you enter Yeshua`s presence He cleans you as you examine His perfectness.  As you worship Yeshua you will be changed into His likeness.  It is not about you cleaning yourself-as YOU CANNOT!  It is recognizing Yeshua`s perfection and Him transferring His perfection in ever area of life onto/into you.  This is how you are presented faultless before the mercy seat-IN the Holy of Holies-the court room/throne room of the Abba Father.

Matthew 5:48 "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

As one can reflect upon our lives and realize what a mighty G-d is HE. I thank him that as I grow in my relationship with my Abba nothing in this life can compare.

I can't say thank you Ma for allowing me to worship it has changed my life. I was lost in the house and dancing has brought me full circle with my lover and KING.

I can't stop praising his name. I shall be as MIRIAM at 90 gloriying my savior, my deliver, my strong tower, my fortess, my buckler, horn and shield of my salvation.

I need him more today than I did on yesterday. Thank you Yeshua for coming and saving me and cleansing me. muuuuuaaaah !!!
