‘Hold Steady...Stay Ready’

 
  ‘Hold steady… stay ready’… that is the word He is speaking…   Let us continue to pray the ‘Sword’ and the ‘Shield’…   For in our Captain… the Captain of the host of heaven,      As war arises, HIS VICTORY must arise in our hearts!     May we take our places and   wield ‘The Sword’ and   raise ‘The Shield’   in and through our Righteous coming King!      About the Psalms   As you read the Psalms that David penned, it is evident that the heart of He Who was his Root  is speaking through these prophetic words.   Time and again we see our Priest and King and Messiah peering through the ‘lattice’ of His word.  For David had a ‘heart after YHWH’.   What does that mean?   His heart was yielded… fused… with His.   And His Ruach HaKodesh, His Spirit, would breathe upon David and rise up by He Who was the very Root of that yielded heart… and word and song  would join… would marry    Even as the ten strings is fitly joined with the harp…   Even as Ephrayim (ten strings) and Yehudah (the harp)  join in prayer upon the Heart and in the Hands of our Beloved Shepherd King   Praying the Psalms is a powerful sword and shield to all Yisrael   It is a place of the heart…   The heart that fuses with His through the Root…   and there it learns to war and intercede… righteously…   in our Righteous King   In Melek- Tsadoq    TEHILLIM/PSALM 18 and 91   The Sword and the Shield   ‘It is written…’ ‘… KETUBAH’       Sword          Shield   We need both beloved     Take up His word and pray…   ‘It is written…’  ‘Ketubah!’   May He Who is our Head help us to   pray like priests (Shield of faith)   and   war like kings (Sword of the Spirit)   in the order of   Melek-Tsadoq   The Righteous Priest-King of heaven…        ONE STICK MINISTRIES www.onestickministries.com   “…and they shall be ONE in My hand.”  Ezekiel 37:19   Join us on Preparation Day, Fri, at 12:30 p.m. from wherever you are by His Ruach HaKodesh and ‘raise the shield of David’ by the Root and the Offspring of David, our Messiah and Priest-King YEHOSHUA   … and pray for ALL YISRAEL   Let us pray His word in due season for His Name’s sake… ‘It is written’…   ‘It is written’ in Hebrew is ‘Ketubah’…   When Yehoshua faced the enemy after forty days of fasting in the wilderness,   He said, ‘It is written…’   He said, ‘KETUBAH’!   ‘Ketubah’ is the ‘marriage covenant’   Three times standing face to the face with the enemy as the Bridegroom warring for His Bride, He quoted from Deuteronomy… for the ‘Ketubah’ was being enforced!  ‘It is written…’    The Bridegroom overcame all for His Bride, all Yisrael…   And all Yisrael will be saved!   ‘It is written…’   ‘Ketubah…’   In His shalom, Constance www.onestickministries.com      Tehillim/Psalm 18   The Sword   ‘The Psalm that takes a people from being persecuted to being trained by Him, to going forth to crush their enemies… and then praises Him and exalts Him in the midst of the nations… it is a Psalm of preparation for war… in the season of war… it is a Psalm of HIS Victory… His Sword’     Psa 18:1  I love You, O יהוה, My strength. Psa 18:2  יהוה is my rock and my stronghold and my deliverer; My Ěl is my rock, I take refuge in Him; My shield and the horn of my deliverance, my high tower. Psa 18:3  I call upon יהוה, the One to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies. Psa 18:4  The cords of death surrounded me, And the floods of Beliyaʽal made me afraid. Psa 18:5  The cords of the grave were all around me; The snares of death were before me. Psa 18:6  In my distress I called upon יהוה, And to my Elohim I cried; He heard my voice from His Hĕḵal, And my cry went before Him, into His ears. Psa 18:7  And the earth shook and trembled; Even the foundations of the mountains were troubled And they shook, because He was wroth. Psa 18:8  Smoke went up from His nostrils, And consuming fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it. Psa 18:9  And He bowed the heavens and came down, And thick darkness was under His feet. Psa 18:10  And He rode upon a keruḇ, and flew; He flew upon the wings of the wind. Psa 18:11  He made darkness His covering; Around Him His booth, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. Psa 18:12  From the brightness before Him, His thick clouds passed, hail and coals of fire. Psa 18:13  And יהוה thundered in the heavens, And the Most High sent forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire. Psa 18:14  And He sent out His arrows and scattered them, And much lightning, and confused them. Psa 18:15  And the channels of waters were seen, And the foundations of the world were uncovered At Your rebuke, O יהוה, At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils. Psa 18:16  He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. Psa 18:17  He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they were stronger than I. Psa 18:18  They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But יהוה was my support. Psa 18:19  And He brought me out into a large place; He delivered me for He delighted in me. Psa 18:20  יהוה rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He repaid me. (C: We pray in the righteousness and cleaness of the hands of our Warrior King.) Psa 18:21  For I have guarded the ways of יהוה, And have not acted wrongly against my Elohim.  (C: and pray for Israel’s leaders to walk righteously before Him.) Psa 18:22  For all His right-rulings are before me, And I did not turn from His laws. Psa 18:23  And I am perfect before Him, And I guard myself from my crookedness. Psa 18:24  And יהוה repays me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands before His eyes. Psa 18:25  With the kind You show Yourself kind; With the perfect one You show Yourself perfect; Psa 18:26  With the clean You show Yourself clean; And with the crooked You show Yourself twisted. Psa 18:27  For You save the afflicted people, But bring down those whose eyes are haughty. Psa 18:28  For You Yourself light my lamp; יהוה my Elohim makes my darkness light. Psa 18:29  For with You I run against a band, And with my Elohim I leap over a wall. Psa 18:30  The Ěl – His way is perfect; The Word of יהוה is proven; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. Psa 18:31  For who is Eloah, besides יהוה? And who is a rock, except our Elohim? Psa 18:32  It is Ěl who girds me with strength, And makes my way perfect, Psa 18:33  Making my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places, Psa 18:34  Teaching my hands for battle, So that my arms shall bend a bow of bronze. Psa 18:35  And You give me the shield of Your deliverance; And Your right hand supports me, And Your lowliness makes me great. Psa 18:36  You enlarge my step under me; And my feet shall not slip. Psa 18:37  I pursue my enemies and overtake them; And do not turn back till they are destroyed.  (C: may ALL the facilities be found and destroyed) Psa 18:38  I crush them, and they are unable to rise; They fall under my feet.  (C: may the facilities be crushed and not rebuilt) Psa 18:39  And You gird me with strength for battle; Cause my adversaries to bow under me. Psa 18:40  And You have made my enemies turn their backs, As for those hating me, I cut them off.  (C: may the nuclear facilities and the ‘evil sword’ be cut off) Psa 18:41  They cry – but no one is there to save, To יהוה – but He answers them not. Psa 18:42  And I beat them as dust before the wind; I empty them out like dirt in the streets. Psa 18:43  You deliver me from the strivings of the people, You set me at the head of the nations; A people I have not known serve me. Psa 18:44  As soon as they hear of me they obey me; The foreigners submit to me.  (C: In this Psalm you begin to see Him emerge, the great King of Yisrael!) Psa 18:45  The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their strongholds. Psa 18:46  יהוה lives! And blessed is my Rock! And exalted is the Elohim of my deliverance, Psa 18:47  The Ěl who avenges me, And He humbles the peoples under me; Psa 18:48  My deliverer from my enemies. You lift me up above those who rise against me; You deliver me from a man of violence. Psa 18:49  Therefore I give thanks to You, O יהוה, among nations, And I sing praise to Your Name, Psa 18:50  Making great the deliverance of His sovereign, And showing kindness to His anointed, To Daviḏ and his seed, forever.  (C: To the ROOT and the OFFSPRING!)        Tehillim/Psalm 91   The Shield   ‘The Psalm that positions His people under His wings… in His Dwelling Place… in the Secret Hidden Place… He covers… He protects… He delivers… by His Shield’   Psa 91:1  He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, (the word ‘secret place’ in Hebrew is ‘sether/sithra’ and can mean ‘undercover… covert’!  We abide in Him Who was able to ‘walk through the crowd’ undetected when they wanted to kill Him!  Let us also pray this for Israel’s IDF/IAF and spies… that they are in the ‘secret hidden place’ in Him and will go undetected by the enemy.)Who abides under the shadow  (‘tsel’ - ‘shade’) of the Almighty (‘Shaddai’… in the shade of Shaddai!),   Psa 91:2  He is saying of יהוה, “My refuge (‘machseh’ - ‘shelter’ ‘hope’ ‘trust’) and my stronghold (‘matsudah’- ‘castle’ ‘defense’ ‘strong place’), My Elohim, in whom I trust! (‘batach’ – ‘boldly confident and secure in’) ‘”   Psa 91:3  For He delivers (‘natsal’ – ‘snatches away, defend, deliver, cause to escape without fail, preserve, rescue, recover, save’) you from the snare of a trapper, from the destructive pestilence.   Psa 91:4  He covers (‘sakak’ – ‘entwines, fence, covers, protects’) you with His feathers (‘ebrah’ – ‘feather, wing’), and under His wings  (‘kanaph’ – ‘overspreading wing’ as in a canopy, chuppah) you take refuge (‘chasah’ – ‘confidently flee to as a hope and refuge’); His truth (‘emeth’ – ‘stable, certain trustworthy truth!’) is a shield and armor.   Psa 91:5  You are not afraid of the dread (‘pachad’ – ‘alarm, dread, terror as in terrorism’!) by night, of the arrow (‘chets’ – ‘piercing arrow’ as in a missile)  that flies by day,   Psa 91:6  Of the pestilence that walks in darkness, of destruction that ravages at midday.   Psa 91:7  A thousand fall at your side (‘tsad’ – ‘side’ as His side was pierced, opened), and ten thousand at your right hand (‘yamin’ – as He Who was pierced sits at the ‘Yamin’ of YaH the Father!); but it does not come near you.  (Because of His side and His right hand!)   Psa 91:8  Only with your eyes you look on, And see the reward (‘shillumah’ – ‘retribution’) of the wrong ones. (We only see this and do not receive this retribution, because of He Whose side was pierced and Who sits at the right hand of power on high.  And in Him, we intercede!  May many come to Him now and receive of His love, mercy, and REFUGE!)   Psa 91:9  Because you have made יהוה – My refuge, the Most High – your dwelling place, (‘maon’ – ‘abode as in Tabernacle, habitation’) (this verse is the ‘beating heart’ of His shield… we dwell in Him… and He is the Most HIGH!  Nothing is higher than He is!  And in Him is all covering, and hiding, and shelter and refuge and deliverance.  And there, by He Who is our Head, we receive of His strategies and prophetic intelligence and ability to war righteously in Melek-Tsadiq, the Righteous King… from the dwelling place, abode, Tabernacle of Him.)   Psa 91:10  No evil befalls you, and a plague (‘nega’ – ‘inflicted blow, spot of infirmity, stripe, wound’) does not come near your tent (‘ohel’ – ‘tent, tabernacle, covering, home’); (because He bore the ‘nega’ for us and now we are in the shelter, Tabernacle of Him!)   Psa 91:11  For He commands (‘tsava’ – ‘appoints and enjoins’, commands’) His messengers (‘malak’ – ‘messengers, angels’… for He is YHWH TSAVAOT!  The Commander of the host of heaven!  Yeshayahu/Isaiah 44:6) concerning you, to guard (‘shamar’ – ‘hedge, guard, protect, attend to, watch over’) you in all your ways.  (He has commanded, appointed and joined the malak to His people!)   Psa 91:12  They bear you up (‘nasa’ – ‘to lift up’ - did those NASA people know this? J - Also this can mean ‘to armor up’!) in their hands, (the malak, the angelic host, take us up in their hands at His instruction as they surround us as armor) lest you dash your foot against a stone.  (If you will recall, this is the verse the enemy tried to tempt our Bridegroom with.  Our Master said that He could have called legions of the host to help Him and keep Him from the tree of suffering, but He allowed Himself to be ‘dashed’ that we might be ‘lifted up’ and ‘protected and saved’ in Him, the Resurrected King of Yisrael.  Now in Him, let us ‘armor up’ and be ‘lifted up’ to receive of His instruction and strategies and insights and revelations.  YHWH of hosts!)   Psa 91:13  You tread (‘darak’ – ‘tread, walk upon’ and can also mean ‘string a bended bow by stepping on it’!  We are going to take the bow and arrow of His Word and His Spirit, and tread on the enemy!) upon lion (‘shachal’ –  this means ‘the roaring lion’ by faith their mouths are shut! Heb. 11:33) and cobra (‘pethen’ – ‘a twisting, contorting asp’ – step on it!  In Him!), young lion (‘kephyr’ – ‘young lion’ and can also mean ‘village covered by walls’… no natural walls of men can keep Him out… He walks through walls and sees all) and serpent (‘tanniym’ – ‘monster, dragon, sea serpent’) you trample under foot (‘ramas’ – ‘trample under, tread upon, oppressively stamp on!’).   Psa 91:14  “Because he cleaves to Me in love (‘chashaq’ – ‘cling to, join, love, delight in’ – CLING TO, CLEAVE TO, HOLD ON TO HIM for all WE’RE WORTH!  Do not be beguiled away!  Because of our cleaving to our Bridegroom, He delivers, saves us!  Yeshua came and spoke to me on 11/14 and said that when I say to ‘hold on to Him for all we’re worth’ that He loves that: ‘This pleases Me mightily’.  Let us make His heart glad and encourage and admonish one another as we see His day approaching, to cleave to our precious Bridegroom… to hold onto Him for all we’re worth, for the apostasy is upon us), therefore I deliver him; I set him on high (‘sagab’ – ‘high, safe, and inaccessible!’), because he has known (‘yadah’ – ‘know by having seen, comprehended, observed, recognized, discerned, learned and respected’) My Name.  (We have been into theMost Set-apart Place upon Him, the Ladder to heaven, and have seen, comprehended, observed, discerned, learned and respected His Name… we have seen, discerned, know His Name.  This is personal, for knowing His Name implies knowing Him)     Psa 91:15  When he calls on Me, I answer (‘anah’ – ‘eye, heed, pay attention, respond’) him; I am with him in distress (‘tsarah’ – ‘tightness, tribulation, pressure, as in birth pangs’); I deliver (‘chalats’ -  ‘pull, equip, deliver, draw out’… he ‘delivers’ the ‘baby’ out of the ‘tribulation birthpangs’ and in the process, He equips us!) him and esteem (‘kabad’ – ‘make heavy and weighty with everything good, honor, glory’) him.   Psa 91:16  With long (‘orek’ – ‘forever’) life (‘yom’ – the word here is ‘DAY’. He delivers us in Yeshua and gives us the ‘forever day’!  Eternal light and life!  No more night!  No more darkness!) I satisfy (‘saba’ – ‘to fill to satisfaction, to satiate’!) him, and show (‘ra’ah’ – ‘see, appear’!) him My deliverance.” (‘YESHUA’!!!!)  (He is bringing His ‘forever day’ by He Who is the LIGHT!  We are assured of His coming, appearing, and He will answer and come when all of His people call!  BARUCH HABA B’SHEM YHWH!)     In His shalom, Constance www.onestickministries.com      “… The earnest prayer of a righteous one accomplishes much.”   Yacov/James 5:16     THIS WEEK:  PRAY TEHILLIM/PSALM 18 and 91      Raise the SHIELD OF DAVID…praying the PSALMS over ERETZ YISRAEL!   Please consider joining the prayer battle for Yisrael by raising what He calls, The Shield of David, in the Name of Him Who is the Root and the Offspring of David, Yeshua.  We have seen great victories as plan after plan to bring destruction to Yisrael has been thwarted by Him.   Each week, He shows us a Psalm to pray over the land of Yisrael, in the name of Yeshua.  As we do so, He has shown that as we pray the Psalm in faith and in His name, He is moving to protect the land.  This needs to happen as we, His people, move into position as His watchmen according to Jeremiah 31:6.  Why?    Because as He explained, Eretz Yisrael is His ‘womb’ in which He is bringing all the parts of Am Yisrael, the people of Yisrael, together… to receive the outpouring of His Spirit.  There, in the land, His people are being wonderfully made by Him as His Aliyah brings all the parts of His people together in preparation to receive His outpouring… being prepared to receive the outpouring of His Spirit… His Breath.  What is the first thing that a baby does when it is born?  Breathe!  ‘Prophesy to the breath!’    It is clear that the nation of Israel is not what she is to be.  This is simply a seed of what is coming... when He fills His land with His people and fills His people with His Spirit.  A baby starts as a seed… and He is knitting together all the parts in the womb of Eretz Yisrael.  But now He is testing our hearts to see if we will line up with Him in the purposes of His heart.    Artist:  Pamela Suran www.jerusalempropheticart.com   We pray each week on Preparation Day, Fri., starting at 12:30 p.m.  Please consider joining us by His Spirit from wherever you are.  A pray-er received the leading from Him that the Psalms are a bridge between Yehudah and Ephrayim.  This is a place where we can meet, (the Psalms, Preparation Day), and pray in agreement.  HalleluYah!   We, as His pray-ers with His powerful weapons of warfare… as His pray-ers who may draw near to His Throne by the blood of His Son… are responsible to do our part as we pray.  Who else has these weapons?  Who else has this access?  No one!  So the great responsibility and privilege of prayer comes to us.  May we, each one, respond.   One other wonderful thing that happens as you commit to raise up the Shield of David, is that He opens the Word… He will open the Psalm to you and His Spirit will breathe upon the Word… shine upon the Word… and He will show you things in His Word that you have not seen before.  It happens every week with us and it is a powerful delightful experience.   So press in, pray, and stand in the gap before the walls of His nation, Israel.  In the age that is coming, He has shown us that even as veterans of wars past have this ribbon and that ribbon signifying the battles they were in… so it will also be with His people.  There will be recognition of the battles we have fought in prayer… and none will be more recognizable than the battle for Yerushalayim… than the final battles of this age that will usher in the return of the King!   He is preparing a people… to prepare the way… for His return!   May He bless you as you pray, By His Word, in His love, for His Name’s sake   Constance   “I have set watchmen on your walls, O Yerushalayim, all the day and all the night, continually, who are not silent.  You who remember YHWH , give yourselves no rest, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Yerushalayim a praise in the earth.”  Isaiah 62:6-7 http://www.onestickministries.com/http://www.onestickministries.com/http://www.onestickministries.com/http://www.jerusalempropheticart.com/shapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1shapeimage_3_link_2shapeimage_3_link_3
