PSALM 1:1-3
OUR DELIGHT
The core message of Psalm 1:1-2 is “Blessed (happy) is the man (ish) (whose) delight is in the law of the LORD (Yahweh, Jehovah).”
“The Law” in the Old Testament meant the Law of Moses which counted for them as righteousness. The New Testament brings true righteousness in Christ. The “law” thus means living in the righteous precepts of Jehovah whose Holy Spirit is imparted to our hearts through faith in Jesus Christ.
“Delight” means it is our pleasure to live for God. We do not follow Him simply as a “fire insurance policy” to escape hell. We do it by reciprocating the love which He has shown us.
It is a pleasure to meditate “day and night” upon His word. The Word (Jesus) imparts peace to us in our souls and spirit. His Word brings faith to us. That faith enables us to stand firmly for Him (v. 3) “like a tree planted by the rivers of water” rooted solidly in His Word.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. We should sometimes read the Word aloud so we can hear it from our own tongue. The Holy Spirit takes the Word we hear (the logos) from the Bible and speaks to us the “now” word (rhema) that specifically applies to us at that time and place.
Read the Word. Then “break it down” through deeper study. Holy Spirit will show you things new to your understanding.

TORMENT
The scriptures are full of examples of God’s people dealing with offenses and becoming bitter. Many times, these people were mad at God. They cried out to Him and often heaven was silent. Perhaps you have been in such a place. Perhaps you have been wrongfully accused or spoken against with no cause. Perhaps you have been hurt by a loved one or a friend. Maybe you even got hurt in your church.
What do we do when these things happen? We can hold on to the hurts and they will eventually grow into a seed of unforgiveness and eventually cause us to be bitter. Peter and John had some real issues between them before Jesus died on the cross. Peter came to Jesus and asked him in Matthew 18:21, “Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?” He expected Jesus to say that seven times was sufficient. Instead, Jesus said in vs. 22, “… I say not unto thee, until seven times: but, until seventy times seven.” That is 490 times, and most scholars say that is in a 24-hour period. That is over 20 times an hour!
What Jesus is literally saying is you have to walk constantly in forgiveness. Immediately after telling Peter this, he shares a parable about a man that owed a huge debt. His master was going to put him along with his family into prison until the debt was paid. The man begged his master not to do this, and that he would pay the debt somehow. The master had compassion on the man and forgave him the entire debt. (vs. 27.) This same man that was forgiven the huge debt meets a man immediately after this that owed him a very small debt but also couldn’t pay it. Instead of forgiving him like his master had forgiven him his debt, he put the man in prison.
The master learns of this lack of compassion and brings the man back before him that had owed the huge debt. He was angry with him to the point of wrath (vs. 34) and delivered him to the tormentors until all that he had been forgiven would be paid off. Since there was no way to pay off the debt by being in prison he would be bound and tormented for eternity.
Jesus goes on to say in verse 35 that the Heavenly Father would do that to Peter and anyone else that did not forgive their brother of their trespasses (debts). Torment comes from unforgiveness my friends. In Mark 11:2 it talks about prayer. It says, “and when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses (debts). But, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses (debts).”
God takes it seriously when we don’t forgive. If you are tormented in your life, perhaps you should check your forgiveness level out. Torment comes from unforgiveness. Get rid of those offenses my friends and be set free from torment.

PROPHETIC WORD
The path is being cleared of the rubble and the rocks that have kept you from going forward. The obstacles have been removed and the Waymaker of your life has made a way for you to go forward. This has been a season of much adversity, many suddenlies have taken place, but I am rearranging things for you to now move in the direction that I have called you to move in. Do not let the weight of the past and the heavy burdens keep you from going forward, for I would say take all of those cares and give them to me so that I can deal with the brokenness that came. I will be the one that brings healing so you can go forth refreshed and renewed. For, I have called you for such a time as this. There have been years of wondering and waiting, but now is the hour that you will go forward. As you leave the things of this present stage of your life you must also leave with no regrets. You must dismiss those things that you think were failures and dismiss those things that you think are victories. For this is a new hour, a new season. There will be many changes, but they are for your good saith the Lord. Do not rely upon the arm of the flesh in this transition, for the arm of flesh will fail you. Look unto me and know that I have repaired the breach but have also broken down many walls that will allow a smooth transition. So, arise, knowing that you are going forth in my will and that I will see you through this transition. My child there is much joy awaiting you for you shall see those things that have been told of old. Many mighty miracles will take place as you obediently go forward. Am I not the Waymaker? Am I not the God of provision? Oh yes, I AM saith the Lord, so have no doubts that I am directing you for I have birthed in you a new vision, a new fresh start, so go forth with my blessing saith the Lord.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC WORD
The Lord says...”My people surely you’re not thinking it strange at the things that are going on around you. Yes, everywhere you turn you are seeing more of the things that My Word has told you would surely happen; As you’re approaching the beginning of the end of things as you have known them to be. Many of these happenings have shocked even a person of the world’s system; But in their ignorance of My Word there’s still been a knowledge of things they’ve heard would come to pass to signal the beginning of the end. My children you know the things that have and are yet still bringing this nation much shame and disgrace. Besides these things there are those who have propagated many things that have worked against Me; All of which have worked towards the taking down of Me, My Name and My values from this nation and out from the nations highest courts; As well as taking Me out of the states, the cities, the schools and yes, even out from the churches, the workplaces and the homes. Surely you can see this nation is at war; It’s a war of good versus evil...And of the powers of darkness coming against you My people and against My church; Not knowing that it’s only been you carrying My presence that has thus far held back My judgement. It is written in My Word, 'Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord'. Look around you; Do you see a nation fully dedicated to and ran by this Word and it’s principles? No, but rather you are a witness to the little gods being established from the White House to the Courthouse to the Church house and to the houses of My people that I love and have protected. My little ones can’t you see the days that you read about in My Word are now becoming even more frequent? Yes, the time is coming when My presence will be totally stripped out and away from all of your land. For it is clear to see that My Name and My Glory is now all but gone from everything around you. I tell you do not be alarmed when you see these things rapidly begin to escalate as you see morals decline at this hour in your land; Yes, the land and many of its people that I created have already fully indulged in and are led by their ungodly, selfish, immoral and pleasure seeking ways. These ways and their evil decisions have caused your nation to fail and now it is no longer...One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Neither is it still revered by other countries and its leaders as it has always been. My children I tell you of a truth the evil that’s against this your great nation has devised a plot and a plan that’s been put into motion for it’s total demise. This has long since been planned by those who despise all that your nation has stood far; And now because of its great blasphemous sins it is on course to FALL...It is inevitable. Just know that there is no one, regardless of his or her capabilities that can put things back together again now. Besides all of this you know well of the signs of the times that My Word said would all happen in time. You who have ears to hear, eyes to see and hearts to discern know of a certainty that it’s evident that time is now here. For My blessings and My protection are swiftly being stripped away from a nation that has forgotten God. Oh, but My presence, My protection, My promises nor My provisions have not and they will not ever be stripped off and away from you, My blood bought children and My Church who have loved Me and stood with Me. So trust Me and rest in Me. But again,I clearly say to you as a nation of people...That you have now entered into a time when the total exodus of My spirit is becoming more evident; Not from you My people, but from a nation that has cursed Me. But yes, the last bit of My presence and My protection is slowly but surely being lifted from this your nation who forgot Me. My children I remind you of My Words that I have spoken to you times past; As I have encouraged you not to ever be fearful of the things you’re beginning to see take place in this your land. The time has come for you My children to stand and to stay strong. For surely the Antichrist spirit is already at work in the land and the appointed time is soon coming for him to be revealed. Take Me at My Word and know there is no reason for fear to consume those of you My children; Yes, those who are living in Me and not just professing to know Me. For truly those of you who have My blood applied to your heart, your lives and to your homes will be safe in this evil hour. Cry aloud and spare not as you shout out to those about you telling them to, ‘Prepare, yes, prepare for the beginning of the end of all things as you have known things to be...For surely it is coming on the scene; And is even now at your door’. My children you know from being acquainted with My written Word that indeed I have given this nation ample time to repent and to turn from its wicked ways. Therefore, very soon you will see My hands being totally lifted off as judgment hits your nation in an even greater way. Be ready I say, for the time is fastly approaching for the man of sin to be revealed. Prepare your hearts and prepare your homes for the hour that is soon coming says the Lord".
