Pray Psalm 118
His High Way 118,
His Rain Bow Word
TEHILLIM/PSALM 118
When we were in ‘Big Bend’ country, He came and brought a ‘Big Bend’ of His Bow… Rain bow…
That Rain Bow touched down on Highway 118 and He has shown that we are to pray Tehillim/Psalm 118 this week as we ‘Raise the Shield of David’ by the Root and Offspring of David,
Yeshua of Nazareth our Savior and Messiah,
Yehoshua our High Priest and King
The Son of YeHoWaH
As I lay down last night to go to sleep, suddenly He showed a highway arrow sign and revealed that this is the way we are to go in prayer this week and perhaps longer.
This is pointing to the High Way of His Word in Psalm 118 as in Highway 118, the place where He bent His Rain Bow and touched the earth, speaking so beautifully of His promises…
He bent His bow there and we are to be His arrow as we pray and allow Him to fill His bow and launch this word by His Spirit
This is the road we are to travel, High Way 118, Tehillim/Psalm 118, as we follow the Lamb wherever He leads us on...
As war arises,
HIS VICTORY must arise in our hearts!
His word is alive and when He imparts to us what we are to be praying, how He moves on His word…
Every week He brings forth deep revelations from the Psalms He is having us pray… truly His word is a sword in ‘due season’…
Be part of His Victory…
As part of His Army of Light
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
May He Who is our Head help us to
pray like priests
and
war like kings
in the order of
Melek-Tsadoq
The Righteous Priest-King of heaven…
ONE STICK MINISTRIES
“…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
TEHILLIM/PSALM 118
His ‘High Way’ Rain Bow, promise filled word
He is coming!
This Psalm is filled with so much for prayer. It begins with giving Him thanks because He is good, declaring His kindness is everlasting… forever… and it ends with giving Him thanks because He is good, declaring that His kindness is everlasting… forever. From ‘cover to cover’ He is glorified and praised.
Our Savior peers forth from this Tehillim/Psalm, even as the Bridegroom through the lattice (Shir haShirim/Song of Songs)
“My beloved is like a gazelle or like a young stag.
See, he is standing behind our wall, looking through the windows,
Peering through the lattice.”
Song of Songs 2:9
It speaks of the ‘gate’ of YHWH…
It speaks of the ‘Right Hand’ of YHWH…
It speaks of the rejected Stone that became the Cornerstone…
And this Cornerstone will come with shouts of
‘Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of YHWH’!
“… for I say to you, from now on you shall by no means see Me, until you say,
‘Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of יהוה!’ ”
Matthew 23:39
The day of this miracle happening… the day that the rejected Stone becomes the Cornerstone and Capstone of His House is referred to as ‘the day YHWH has made’…
‘yom YHWH asah’…
And we are to rejoice and be glad in it and pray for its arrival!
I have just finished teaching part 3 of ‘Righteous War’ and He brought forth the first lesson of His Name being a weapon of warfare given to us as He leads us in Righteous War…
We go up and down in His Name:
“’And I shall make them mighty in יהוה, so that they walk up and down in His Name,’ declares יהוה.”
Zekaryah/Zechariah 10:12
In this Psalm, you can hear David crying,
‘In the Name of YHWH I cut them off!’
Yehoshua came in His Father’s Name,
YeHoWaH
And in His Name, the enemy is cut off!
The very center of His Written word is in this Psalm, verses 8 and 9:
Psa 118:8 It is better to take refuge in יהוה than to trust in man.
Psa 118:9 It is better to take refuge in יהוה than to trust in princes.
How true this is!
We trust in Him alone and He leads us in Righteous War…
He is going to appear to a Jewish Jerusalem in Zekaryah/Zechariah 12:10, not Al Quds:
“And it shall be in that day that I seek to destroy all the gentiles that come against Yerushalayim.
And I shall pour on the house of Daviḏ and on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim a spirit of favor and prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son. And they shall be in bitterness over Him as a bitterness over the first-born.”
Zekaryah/Zechariah 12:9-10
So now He is saying ‘hear My voice and the voice of another do not heed’…
Let us take our positions in prayer and draw the sword of the Spirit of this Rain Bow, High Way of holiness Word and pray, as we are being led by our Captain,
YHWH of Hosts!
For He is good and His kindness is everlasting!
Read the blue parenthetical inserts giving the Hebrew meaning and insights for prayer:
Psa 118:1 “Oh, give thanks to יהוה, for He is good! Because His kindness (‘chesed’ – kindness, mercy, favor, reproof… He reproves those He loves in His ‘chesed’, kindness) is everlasting.
Psa 118:2 Let Yisra’ĕl now say, ‘His kindness is everlasting.’
Psa 118:3 Let the house of Aharon now say, ‘His kindness is everlasting.’
Psa 118:4 Let those who fear יהוה now say, ‘His kindness is everlasting.’
Psa 118:5 I called on Yah in distress (‘metsar’ – tight place, distress, pain, almost like pressure in a birth canal… birthpangs); Yah answered me in a broad place. (‘merchab’ – enlargement, open place, liberty… He births us forth as we call on Him!)
Psa 118:6 יהוה is on my side; I do not fear what man does to me! (We are not to fear anything man is trying to do! We are only to reverentially fear Him and know that if He is for us, who can be against us? This is a powerful verse to pray and let His ultimate V-I-C-T-O-R-Y become a reality… especially in this time when the enemy is trying to manifest in many ways. LOOK UP!)
Psa 118:7 יהוה is for me among those helping me; Therefore I look on those hating me. (He will use whoever He wills to help His Yisrael… He can speak through a donkey… He makes even Yisrael’s enemies be at peace with her… It is HIM Who is behind the Navy being in position to help bring down Iran’s nuclear ambitions… but we must pray that Israel stands strong in this and does not compromise and pray that this nation’s leaders bow their knee to Him)
Psa 118:8 It is better to take refuge (‘chasah’ – flee to for protection, confide in, put trust in) in יהוה than to trust in man. (this verse is the very center of His Word)
Psa 118:9 It is better to take refuge in יהוה than to trust in princes.
Psa 118:10 All the gentiles surrounded me, in the Name of יהוה (His Name is a weapon of Righteous warfare)I shall cut them off. (‘mul’ - cut, curtail, blunt, destroy… can also mean ‘circumcise’… may nations repent and be circumcised in His Name or they will be ‘cut off’)
Psa 118:11 They surrounded me, Yea, they surrounded me; In the Name of יהוה shall I cut them off. (Remember David when facing Goliath said: ‘You come to me with sword and javelin and shield… I come to you in the Name of YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of the Army of Israel whom you have defied’. He has given us His Name!)
Psa 118:12 They surrounded me like bees (‘devorah’ – bees – one year when mowing the front yard I mowed overground bees and one huge one came and stung me on my priestly right toe. It was one of the most excruciating pains I had ever endured and it lasted for hours. The ground bee, ‘deborah’, came like a false prophet(ess) against my priestly right toe. We stand before Him in our High Priest and we are to keep our eyes on Him… above. Not on the ground (as in ground bee) focusing on what the enemy is trying to do… but focusing on Him… look up… our Redeemer draws nigh!) ; They were extinguished like burning thorns; In the Name of יהוה I shall cut them off. (Note we have to do something as this verse says in His Name ‘I shall cut them off’… even as David ran to the line… we are to speak forth as He leads in the power of His Name! His Name bears great authority and the enemy falls back!)
Psa 118:13 Pushing, the enemy pushed me to fall, but יהוה helped me. (He Who said, ‘I Am He’ caused the army of Rome to fall back. 400-600 Roman soldiers came to take him that night as He prayed. Then He veiled His strength and lay His life down that in His Name we could make righteous war)
Psa 118:14 Yah is my strength and song, And He has become my deliverance. (‘Yeshua’! – salvation) Look at this ad sent to me from the Jerusalem Post using His Name for ‘deliverance, salvation’ not realizing fully what they have written, as it says, ‘Don’t miss the opportunity for Yeshua!’ Amein!:
Psa 118:15 The voice of rejoicing (‘rinnah’ – shout, joy, cry, proclamation, TRIUMPH, VICTORY!) and deliverance (‘Yeshua’! – His salvation, deliverance and Name is in our tent… in us! And we war righteously in Him for His salvation and deliverance to come to the tents of all of His people, proclaiming His Victory!) is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of יהוה is doing mightily. (He Who is at the Right Hand of power is doing ‘mightily’… that word is ‘chayil’ – ‘an army of valor, virtue, and strength’… He leads us as His Army of Light in He Who is the Light, YHWH of hosts)
Psa 118:16 The right hand of יהוה is exalted, The right hand of יהוה acts mightily.
Psa 118:17 Let me not die, but live (‘chayah’ – live in the state of His reviving life… ‘l’chayim!’), And declare(‘saphar’ – inscribe, enumerate, recount and celebrate!) the works of Yah. (We live to declare His works,not the works of the evil one… let us eat from the Tree of Life. On our last Shabbat gathering, He had me face the light and then turn around and face the darkness. When we face the darkness, despair and depression come for we are focusing and eating off of the wrong tree and we find ourselves in a heap thinking that the enemy has won as he seemingly surrounds us like those stinging bees. But when we face the LIGHTwe look up to Him from which all Victory comes… we live out of His Tree of LIFE, Kingdom life! We feel His reviving life pulsating through us. Let US not ‘die’ by focusing on darkness and what darkness is trying to do, let us LIVE and inscribe, enumerate, recount and celebrate the works of YAH! Which is what I have just done for you!)
Psa 118:18 Yah has punished me severely, But did not give me over to death. (He does deal with us and with all Yisrael, but He is bringing us all to LIFE…l’chayim… in our Risen Redeemer King! We are not given over to death because He came and swallowed up death for us!)
Psa 118:19 Open (‘patach’ – open wide!) to me the gates (‘sha’ar’ – gate, door, opening) of righteousness(‘tsadeq/tsadoq’ – righteous, moral, legal, prosperous – walking the right way, His way); I enter through them, I thank Yah. (One time in prayer, suddenly by His Spirit I saw the gates of the Yerushalayim Above that had descended and fused and transformed the Yerushalayim below. People were walking through the ‘gates of praise’ of His City and they ignited in praise of Him! ‘Praise YHWH! He is good!’ Walking through His righteous gates brings thanks to Yah! HalleluYAH!)
Psa 118:20 This is the gate of יהוה, (notice that now it is a singular Gate of YHWH… For Yehoshua is the Gate of YHWH through which we enter in… the Righteous One, Melek-Tsadoq!) The righteous (‘tsadiq’) enter through it. (We enter through the Righteous One, the Gate of YHWH… ‘I Am the gate’ John 10:7, 9)
Psa 118:21 I thank You, For You have answered me, And have become my deliverance. (‘Yeshua’! – the Answer came… He became the Deliverer, He became the Savior, He became our Yeshua!)
Psa 118:22 The stone (‘eben’ – stone, to build as in the building material) which the builders (‘banah’ – builders, - they rejected the only true ‘building material’, ‘eben’, ‘stone’ that could be used to build what He is building) rejected (‘ma’as’ – spurned, abhorred, cast away, refused, despised, rejected) has become(‘hayah’ – has come to pass, become) the chief corner-stone. (‘pinnah’ – the angle stone, the pinnacle stone, the tower, bulwark, stay… the rejected stone, building material, has become the corner/angle stone that sits in the corner of the building by which all walls line up to it. The only ‘straight wall’ are those which are lined up with the Corner Stone. And yet it is also the pinnacle, Cap Stone… He is the first (foundation Corner Stone) and the last (Cap Stone) the beginning and the end, and all things of His Kingdom line up with Him. The Corner Stone has two walls coming out from Him like His Two Houses that are to align themselves with His perfect plumb and straightness. They will marvelously find themselves at the Corner at the end of this age and find that all He has been doing is through this once rejected, but now reigning Eben Pinnah! Corner Stone and Cap Stone)
Psa 118:23 This was from יהוה, it is marvelous (‘pala’ – set-apart, great, too high, hidden, difficult, wonderful, miraculous accomplishment!) in our eyes. (‘ayin’ –eyes… this marvelous work will be seen with the eyes… Amein!)
Psa 118:24 This is the day יהוה has made, (‘yom YHWH asah’ – the day of His great, miraculous accomplishment! The Stone has become the Chief Corner Stone! The day that YHWH has worked His miracle and His house is built in the righteousness of the Righteous One!) Let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Amein! Let us rejoice and pray and hasten the ‘yom YHWH asah’!)
Psa 118:25 I pray, O יהוה, please save; I pray, O יהוה, please send prosperity. (‘tsalach’ – push forward, break out, break through to this day, even while You save, even while we pray for the ‘yom YHWH asah’! vs 22-24)
Psa 118:26 Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of יהוה!1 (‘Baruch haba b’Shem YHWH!’ – our Yehoshua said that He will return to this earth at Yerushalayim – Zechariah 14:4 - when His ears are pierced with this very verse cried out to Him from Yerushalayim! Matthew 23:39 We are praying and looking forward to this ‘yom YHWH asah’! Let us take our places in prayer and wage righteous war for His City to be whole and crying out to Him. It is going to happen!) We shall bless you from the House of יהוה. (The House built with the Corner Stone and Cap Stone of He Who is the ‘ma’as eben’, the rejected, livingStone, by which His House of living stones LIVES! This same Stone comes to strike the foot of the ten toes of the false kingdom of the end of this age. He will reveal Himself to all of His people whom He loves as He Who is the Truth, even as He brings down the false.)
Psa 118:27 יהוה is Ěl, and He gave us light; Bind the festal offering with cords to the horns of the altar. (In this verse He shows that the Light became an Offering on His Altar. He Who was the Light of men lay His life down upon the altar His Father prepared for Him, even as Isaac lay down on the altar of Abraham as a type.)
Psa 118:28 You are my Ěl, and I praise You; You are my Elohim, I exalt You.
Psa 118:29 Give thanks to יהוה, for He is good!
For His kindness is everlasting.”
In His shalom,

“… The earnest prayer of a righteous one accomplishes much.”
Yacov/James 5:16
THIS WEEK: PRAY TEHILLIM/PSALM 118
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
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

“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
