Bees; Mensef and Psalm 118

I preach in Ramallah today. I preached about Psalm 118 These are my notes:

3 kinds of attacks in Psalm 118

 كُلُّ الأُمَمِ أَحَاطُوا بِي. بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ.

¹¹ أَحَاطُوا بِي وَاكْتَنَفُونِي. بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ.

Two main reasons

   Eliminate way of escape

   Cut off communications

 دَحَرْتَنِي دُحُورًا لأَسْقُطَ، أَمَّا الرَّبُّ فَعَضَدَنِي.

دفعني بلعنف

Pushed me violently

Mainly to push us backwards

Make me go back

They surrounded me like bees;
They were quenched like a fire of thorns;
For in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

 أَحَاطُوا بِي مِثْلَ النَّحْلِ. انْطَفَأُوا كَنَارِ الشَّوْكِ. بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ.

1.  Why they attack because someone  moves into their territories

2.  What to do when attack is run

3.  Run to the house

4.  Attack eyes, nose and mouth

5.  Eyes-  vision, see what God is doing,

                                                                                                    بِلاَ رُؤْيَا يَجْمَحُ الشَّعْبُ،

6.  Nose – discernment, can’t tell difference between spirits and truth and lies

7.  Mouth – stop prayer, relationship to God,

              Relationships to people

              Encourage others, teach others

  حَاصَرَتْنِي جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ، لَكِنِّي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ. 11حَاصَرُونِي وَضَيَّقُوا عَلَيَّ، لَكِنِّي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ. 12حَاصَرُونِي آَالنَّحْلِ، (اشْتَعَلُوا) ثُمَّ انْطَفَأُوا آَنَارِ الشَّوْكِ. بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ. 13دُفِعْتُ بِعُنْفٍ آَيْ أَسْقُطَ، لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ عَضَدَنِي.           

It was very well received and Pastor told me they are going to give me 2,000 shekels a month to help with monday, thursday and sunday services. 

Akram is here. I took Dad out and we walked way down towards Ramon and then someone picked us up and brought us home. HE had tea with us and left. Amo Issa gave me barqooq and got mad. Telling me not to throw it away

Things are going pretty good for me right now. Mom said she didn't want me to stay here too long. I don't want to. 

This was my Facebook posting about church today

Prophetic Preaching -- I was preaching this morning about Psalm 118 and the way that the nose represents the gift of discernment. I sniffed and said, "I, for instance am able to discern when there is Mensef in a house or Maqloobeh." Turns out after church there was a huge mensef feast. Next week I'm preaching about Del Taco (if they have that in Ramallah I have a miracle ministry
