Psalm 22:1-5 & Song of Solomon 2

This is the message by Apostle Anna Drinkwine to go along with the prophecy dated May 31, 2020.

God our Heavenly Father desires a deep and very close relationship with each one of us. A few years ago when I was delivering a sermon God spoke through me “Make a place for Me”. I actually did not understand it that Sunday, until I was preaching again on another following Sunday. He was actually meaning that He wants us to have a special “designated place” where He and you meet regularly. Jesus referred to it as your “prayer closet” as seen in Matthew 6. And God refers to as the “Secret Place” in Psalm 91. It is a place where you meet with Him and you pour out your heart to Him. It is a place where His Presence envelopes you. It is a place where He speaks to you, and your relationship goes deeper as you commune with Him.

Recently I spent time with family in Arizona. Because it was so hot outside, I would exercise and walk from the kitchen and living room down the hall and into my granddaughter’s room. I noticed that when I walked and reached her room window, this feeling came over me to worship my Heavenly Father. This great desire came upon me to worship Him. It just welled up from inside me, and I was so feeling His Presence. That was to be our Secret Place where I would spend glorious hours communing with Him. I would see many birds that would fly by, or I would see woodpeckers go into this hole on the side of a tall large cactus to feed their baby birds. And then I would watch the doves, starlings, the sparrows and even humming birds land on tree branches nearby. So loving birds myself, and knowing our Heavenly Father loves and cares for birds, to where He even knows when one falls to the ground. Matthew 6:26 & 10:29. And I asked Him “Father, why do you so love birds?” He answered me ”Because they are always praising Me.”

Beloved, you must see how much your Heavenly Father loves for you to thank Him and praise Him. Remember He inhabits the praises of His people. Do not the birds sing? You should sing praises to Him! “Sing unto the Lord a new song! Sing unto the Lord all the earth.” Psalm 96:1. Do you not realize that that when you praise and thank God, your faith is built up? Abraham praised and thanked God, refusing to look at his evidently to the natural eye, an impossible situation. God had told Abraham that He had made Abraham to be a father of many nations. It was foreordained by God! You also have been foreordained by God for a special purpose in life. Psalm 139:16 & Roman 8:29-30. And if God said it, then believe it! Do not look at your natural circumstances, for those things cannot hinder God from moving. Isaiah 43:13. Only your unbelief would stop His Divine will and purpose from happening in your life. Hebrews 11:6 says “But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” See the focus, “Seek God” not the miracle! Never be taken up with the miraculous. Rather be taken up with the one who causes the miraculous to happen!

Read Roman 4:17-20. Abraham was strong in faith, giving glory to God! Focus on God and not on your situation. Jesus said in Matthew 19:26 “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” In Jeremiah 32:27 God declares “Behold I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for Me?” I love what Lester Sumrall would say “Feed you faith and starve your doubts.”

So learn to always praise the Lord. The closer you get to Him the more He will communicate with you. In the morning when I wake up, it is normal for me to hear in my spirit an old hymn that I may not have heard for years. The Holy Spirit is ministering to me. Plus this may happen to me throughout the day. When you hear a song that is of the Lord, you are supposed to sing it unto Him! Psalm 100 declares “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His Presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is He that has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His Name.  For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations.”

Psalm 37:4 tells you to delight yourself also in the Lord; and He will give you the desires (the secret petitions) of your heart. To delight in Him means that you get your greatest pleasure, your greatest satisfaction from Him. Where it is said says “He will give you the desires of your heart,” as you become more mature in the Lord, you come to realize He is your greatest desire! And it is at that place where you desire Him above all others or anything else, then that is where God knows that He can trust you with anything. So we must make Him our First Love. Revelation 2:4. Our devotion ought to be toward Him above all others. Malachi 3:13-18 tells us “Your words have been stout (strong) against Me, says the Lord. Yet ye say, what have we spoken so much against Thee? Ye have said, it is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept His ordinance (laws), and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of Hosts? And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are setup; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a Book of Remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His Name. And they shall be Mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him. Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves Him not.”
