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:

YOU ARE THE HOUSE OF GOD

*Do you want to read this blog in your own language?  Click the TRANSLATE icon on the right of the screen.*

You are the Temple of the holy Spirit.  It is not the place where you worship corporately.  We must understand that where ever we are there the Holy Spirit resides.   The heavens are open at all times for all of us.  You are always in the Presence of the Lord.  The question is, are you aware of His Presence?  You must become conscious of the Presence of Holy Spirit.    The gate of heaven IS the house of God-we are the Temple/House of the Holy Spirit.  This Gate/Temple/House is where the angels of heaven ascend and descend.  The angels are sent on our behalf to do the will of Holy Spirit.

Gen. 28 says,

Jacob’s Dream at Bethel

10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran. 11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 There above it[c] stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.[d] 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” 17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”

WORSHIP REMOVES THE VEIL

  *Do you want to read this blog in your own language?  Click the TRANSLATE icon on the right of the screen.*

 Dear Friends,

When you worship in the Presence of the Lord, the veils will be removed from your heart.  What is a veil?  It can be anything that separates you from hearing His voice in your life.  Is the Lord always speaking to you?  YES!  But just like I can choose or not be focused on the conversation that my husband is having with me.  Maybe I am too BUSY, UNINTERESTED,  ANGRY, or just do not CARE.  I will not hear my husband unless I stop when I hear His voice, turn toward Him, and listen to what he is saying.  There have even been times I have turned toward His voice but was so preoccupied by the things in my HEAD that I totally missed the essence of what his heart was speaking toward me!   We do this to the Lord all the time and do not give it a second thought.   
I want to make note to you today that when you choose to WORSHIP, sing, dance, or play your instrument, you are giving intentional focus to the Lord.   So the veil being removed is symbolic of UNDERSTANDING flooding our hearts.  
 A groom cannot kiss the bride until the veil is taken away, Right?  So intimacy cannot happen until the veil, or the separating factor is removed.  In the same way when we worship our hearts are opened up so the King can take His rightful place on the throne of our heart and clean us. 
Do you want that intimacy?  I DO!  There is nothing like the intimate LOVE of our Messiah, Savior and Lord.  Today, STOP, be conscious of who He is,  LISTEN.  Do this over and over throughout your day.  Be aware of His Presence.  It is always there and available.  Acknowledge it NOW!
Do not miss the Presence of the GROOM(husband) that is in your house, that lives with you.  Do not be the one to whom Yeshua will say, I was there but there was no intimacy attached to our relationship.
2 Corinthians 3:16
But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

HE KNEW YOU BEFORE YOU WERE BORN

*Do you want to read this blog in your own language?  Click the TRANSLATE icon on the right of the screen.*

Do you ever wonder weather you are important to the Lord and weather your life was planned by the Lord to accomplish a specific purpose on the earth?  The answer is YES!  Here is the scripture that gives you that confirmation. The Lord knew you before you were born and set you apart.  Do not allow the peer pressure of those around you to overpower you.  Listen to what God`s vision and God`s plan is for your life.  If you ask him He will answer you.


 Jeremiah 1
The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
    before you were born I set you apart;
    I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
“Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”
But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.
Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”

PIECE OF ART

  *Do you want to read this blog in your own language?  Click the TRANSLATE icon on the right of the screen.*

God wants you to know that NO weapon that comes against you physically and spiritually in your life will be able to conquer you.  You will conquer it with His strength.  You are Victorious because of who He is.  There may be  a moment that you want to give up or give into something.  The obstacles  may just seem too big or too hard.  God`s Promise is that NO THING that stands in your way will be able to stop you from doing His plan and purpose.  The Lord will SILENCE every tongue that speaks against you.  Did you know that God has a Vision for your life?  It is written in His Word.  Follow His path and you will begin to see a tapestry so BEAUTIFUL that will unfold before your eyes.  That tapestry will be pieced together with all the broken parts of your heart and life.  It is sewn together by the Master sewer and someday you will see the completed finished piece of ART.

 Isaiah 54
14 In righteousness you will be established,
far from oppression, with nothing to fear;
far from ruin, for it will not come near you.
15 Any alliance that forms against you
will not be my doing;
whoever tries to form such an alliance
will fall because of you.
16 It is I who created the craftsman
who blows on the coals and forges weapons
suited to their purpose;
I also created the destroyer to work havoc.
17 No weapon made will prevail against you.
In court you will refute every accusation.
The servants of Adonai inherit all this;
the reward for their righteousness is from me,”

says Adonai.

POWER OF THE SACRIFICE BRINGS BACK AUTHORITY


 *Do you want to read this blog in your own language?  Click the TRANSLATE icon on the right of the screen.*

 The Law is perfect, but it will not be able to keep you from indulging in the desires of the flesh.  Unless you are obedient out of fear of punishment.  The fear of punishment can cause a child to behave but the child will behave for the wrong reasons.  We should be serving God because we love Him and he first loved us.  We should not be serving God out of fear of punishment.  The true keeping power IS the SACRIFICE of Yeshua.   Yeshua has covered us with His blood, allowing us to  walk in Grace and Love toward ourselves and others.  In the Old Covenant the Law had authority, now Yeshua has taken back the authority through His perfect sacrifice, redeeming us and has given the authority back to us.  The law brought death.  Yeshua bought life, but He first had to die and become the SACRIFICE to fulfill ALL righteousness.  Because Yeshua was sinless He was able to take our place in death, so that we could go free.  Yeshua paid our fine, paid our jail time, paid for our freedom and paid for our eternal death.

Hebrews 8:6
  But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.

In Yeshua, He has pronounced freedom to the captives, and VICTORY over ALL the power of the enemy.  In Luke 10 Yeshua says, 
16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”
18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Yeshua raised the bar.  He said it it is not enough to not follow the commands of God.  He made it a heart and mind matter.  Sin is not just an action but it is something that begins in the mind, then proceeds to the heart and then is executed.   Yeshua raised the bar to say if we even think of lustful thought it is the same as if we had acted upon it.   The only way to be FREE is to put on His Helmet /Guard- of Salvation, put on, who Yeshua is upon us and invite Yeshua to FILL our Temples.  Yeshua now Tabernacles on the INSIDE of us.  Just as the High Priest went into the Inner Court and the Holy of Holies-Allow Yeshua to enter your Inner Court(MIND) and your Holy of Holies(HEART) today.  
Tabernacle-
Outer Court
It is not about what you have done, it is about what Yeshua did to set you FREE.  
Do not cling to the things you do or do not do.  Focus on the Grace of Yeshua that gives us the POWER  to be transformed into his likeness.  Arise and Shine for your LIGHT has come, and the Glory of the Lord has risen upon you today.  If you have the Holy Spirit of Yeshua on the inside, let Yeshua`s light pour forth from you.  It will dispel ALL darkness around you and around others.  Walk in that perfect Shalom(PEACE) today that literally brings healing to your dry and brittle bones.  Renounce unforgiveness,  release and cut off any bitterness and hatred.  Walk in Yeshua`s VICTORY!
Yeshua was victorious on your behalf!  Yeshua did the work! Let Yeshua`s work of Love completely cover over you.  In this covering over of LOVE you WILL walk free from the desires of the flesh.
