Today we are walking in: The Words Of Elohiym
















Num 24:4




He hath said, which heard the words H561 of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:






word




Today we look to the word H561 'emer--utterance, speech, word, saying, promise, command









The Torah testifies...............




I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them את all that I shall command him. Devariym (Deuteronomy) 18:18










Deuteronomy 32:1




Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words H561 of my mouth.

And many people shall go and say: Come ye and let us go up to the mountain of Yahuah, to the house of the Elohai of Ya'aqov; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Tsiyon shall go forth the Torah, and the Word of Yahuah from Yerushalayim. Yesha'yahu (Isaiah) 2:3




Hear the Word of Yahuah, ye rulers of Cedom; give ear unto the Torah of our Elohiym, ye people of Amorah. Yesha'yahu (Isaiah) 1:10

Psa 107:11




Because they rebelled against the words H561 of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:










The Words of ’Elohiym




Perhaps the greatest difficulty I am personally confronted with in teaching the Hebraic perspective is terminology. It seems that no matter what educational background a person has, it is words that get in the way. Communication is the most important thing we do. Think about it! Where would we be if Yah did not communicate with us through His word? What a wonderful way to let us know who He is. What a wonderful way to reveal to us how to be reconciled back to Him. He could have chosen other ways to speak to us. Sometimes He does. Sometimes He just "speaks" to us. But, for reasons that to many of us are obvious, He chose to communicate through people. Not just any people, but people that He knew in His omniscience would faithfully preserve His words through their culture. The Hebrew people. His view of the world became their view of the world. Or, you might say that their view of the world conformed to His view of the world.




So, life would be sin free and we would all be basking in paradise if it were not for one significant, unfortunate detail. The devil. haSatan, as he is called. The problem is that he knows all too well how important communication is. He knows what the Scriptures say. He misquotes them frequently, but he knows what they say. He knows that "... faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of ’Elohiym." He knows that faith in the Word of ’Elohiym and obedience to that faith changes lives. He knows the power of ’Elohiym's word. He knows that societies prosper and flourish when they obey ’Elohiym's word. He knows that people do not need to be healed when they are already healthy. He knows that nations, communities, and families do not need to be restored when obedient to the Word of ’Elohiym. He knows that when people keep the words of ’Elohiym, that they win and he loses! So, he commits himself to pervert the words of ’Elohiym.




Christians for centuries have known that the enemy perverts church doctrine. Christians have argued among themselves over doctrinal issues since the book of Acts, but to no avail. Why? Because we are swatting at the branches and not getting to the tree, much less the root. I will cut to the chase (idiom). Hasatan simply redefines the words, slowly, a little at a time. He spreads this calculated scheme over a long period of time. He uses evolution. He causes ’Elohiym's words to evolve over time. He uses the most elementary technique, the translating of one language to another. I am going to concentrate the next several lessons on words, scriptural words. Words that over time have changed. Words of the New Testament that have become almost second nature to us. I hope to show that there has been a tremendous paradigm shift.




The terms that we read in the New Testament were not created in a vacuum. Virtually every word or words that you read have their beginning and defining in the Tanakh. When Yahusha‘ or any of the writers wrote their words, they did so with full confidence that the readers were already familiar with the words they chose to convey ’Elohiym's ways. When Yahusha‘ said, "Be not afraid, only believe", He used a term already well established in the Tanakh as to it's meaning. The word 'believe' did not pop up from nowhere in the New Testament! He assumed a previous knowledge of this word. When He uses the terms; kingdom, life, light, righteousness, way, truth, receive, bind, loose, come together, or worship, for example, He assumes we know what these things mean from our knowledge of His previous words. But we take the meaning of these common words for granted. So, I'll shut up. Let's get on with the lesson.




WORD




Let's begin with a few very common New Testament terms and trace them back to their meanings, keeping in mind that how a word starts out is how it is meant to be understood. Is that not logical? I would like to begin with the word, WORD!




In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with את Elohiym, and Elohiym was the Word. Yochanon (John) 1:1 | את Cepher










And the Word was made flesh, and tabernacled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the yachiyd of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Yochanon (John) 1:14 | את Cepher




Now, didn't Yochanan just tell us that the Word is from the beginning? So, it did not begin here in the New Testament. Therefore, defining the word in the Greek is not going to tell us what the word word means. We have to go back to where it (HE) began.




The main Hebrew word used to translate this word "word" is dabar. Dabar is a spoken thing. It is speech. Whether by Mosheh, David, Sha’ul, Mattityahu, kings, peasants, slaves, you, me, or Yah, it is things that are spoken. When Mosheh speaks, it is the dabar of Mosheh. When the king speaks it is the dabar of the king. Whether uplifting words or slanderous words, it is dabar. So, when the Scriptures say, "The WORD of the Lord said to Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) ..." you know that it is the dabar of ’Elohiym. It is His words, Holy words, Righteous words. When He speaks, you know it is not man's words, but His words, His commandments, ordinances, precepts, and ways. Let me give you a few examples of His words, to help us define what His word is.




And he said unto them: Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to guard to do, all the words of this Torah. Devariym (Deuteronomy) 32:46 | את Cepher










And many people shall go and say: Come ye and let us go up to the mountain of Yahuah, to the house of the Elohai of Ya'aqov; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Tsiyon shall go forth the Torah, and the Word of Yahuah from Yerushalayim. Yesha'yahu (Isaiah) 2:3 | את Cepher










Hear the Word of Yahuah, ye rulers of Cedom; give ear unto the Torah of our Elohiym, ye people of Amorah. Yesha'yahu (Isaiah) 1:10 | את Cepher










Therefore as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away את the Torah of Yahuah Tseva'oth, and את despised the Word of the Holy One of Yashar'el. Yesha'yahu (Isaiah) 5:24 | את Cepher










Give ear, O my people, to my Torah: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. Tehilliym (Psalms) 78:1 | את Cepher










Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the Torah, and the words which Yahuah Tseva'oth has sent in his Ruach by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from Yahuah Tseva'oth. Zakaryahu (Zechariah) 7:12 | את Cepher










I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them את all that I shall command him. Devariym (Deuteronomy) 18:18 | את Cepher










נ Nun Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Tehilliym (Psalms) 119:105 | את Cepher




Here are just a few examples of how Yah sees His word. They are laws and commandments for man to light his path. His word teaches us His ways, and how to walk in His paths. This is what the Word of ’Elohiym is. Now, Yochanan teaches us that this Word became flesh and dwelt among us. His Word, properly defined, was not a pre-existing thing or entity. It was not a concept housed in outer space waiting to become flesh. It was His teachings and His ways that became flesh. Now put this back into context in the New Testament.




Luke 8:21

And he answered and said unto them: My mother and my brethren are these which hear את the Word of Elohiym and do it. Luqas (Luke) 8:21 | את Cepher










Luke 5:1

And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the Word of Elohiym, he stood by the lake of Kinneroth, Luqas (Luke) 5:1 | את Cepher










Acts 11:1

And the apostles and brethren that were in Yahud heard that the other nations had also received the Word of Elohiym. Ma'asiym (Acts) 11:1 | את Cepher










Acts 6:7

And the Word of Elohiym increased; and the number of the Talmidiym multiplied in Yerushalayim greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. Ma'asiym (Acts) 6:7 | את Cepher










Luke 8:11

Now the parable is this: The seed is the Word of Elohiym. Luqas (Luke) 8:11 | את Cepher










Acts 8:25

And they, when they had testified and preached the Word of Yahuah, returned to Yerushalayim, and preached the Besorah in many villages of the Shomeroniym. Ma'asiym (Acts) 8:25 | את Cepher

Next time, we are going to compare the scriptural teaching of the Dabar of ’Elohiym with the Greek version of the logos (Greek word for word is logos) of ’Elohiym. This has been one of the fundamental reasons for the swift change from faith being validated by obedience, to faith being validated by creeds. See you next time.




Shalom Alecheim!

AN OPEN DOOR

Psalm chapter 126
















Today we are walking in: An Open Door













Genesis 4:7




If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door H6607. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

























DOOR




Today we look to the word- DOOR-H6607-pethach- an opening (literally), i.e. door (gate) or entrance way:—door, entering in, entrance entry, gate, opening, place.




























The Torah testifies……………




Exodus 12:2




And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door H6607 of his house until the morning.






















The Prophets proclaim…………….




Ezekiel 8:16




And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door H6607 of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.































The Writings witness…………………..




2 Kings 23:4




And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door H6607, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.


















Behold I set before you an open door and no man can shut it. That is your assurance! the door before you is not fragile it is eternal! you are stepping into divine acceleration. What took others years will take you months. What took decades will unfold in days because you paid the price! In hidden seasons you sowed in tears and now you will reap in joy! Psalms 126:5 do not apologize for the harvest you earned it through faithfulness, you endured ridicule, misunderstanding, and delay, but you never cursed your process now heaven is rewarding your perseverance, and yet even in this abundance remember to stay anchored to the secret place because power without presence becomes performance! Never let success silence your prayer life never let influence replace intimacy. The strength of the chosen is not in public applause, but in private alignment, Yahusha withdrew often to pray not because he was weak, but because he was wise, the more heaven trusted him the more he sought the father! follow that pattern, and you will remain unshakable. The next dimension of your journey will bring unfamiliar assignments. Yah will stretch your capacity. He will place you among people who test your patience! situations that test your humility opportunities that test your discernment but you will not fail. The spirit within you has matured The Words says greater is he that is in you and he that is in the world the greater wanna abide in you You walk with divine awareness now every step you take heaven partners with you! every word you release angles respond. There will be moments when the enemy tries to whisper. It’s not over. The pain will return, but remind him of the cross. Remind him that it was finished there! your victory was sealed not by your effort, but by his blood, the covenant cannot be broken. The signature of Yahusha still drips on your destiny Colossians 2:15 says Having spoiled principalities and powers. He made a show of them openly triumphing over them in it. You walk in that triumph you live from that victory lift your eyes higher, the same spirit that hover over the deep and Genesis is hovering over your future right now. Creation is waiting for your manifestation Romans 18:19 says the earnest expectation of the creature waited for the manifestation of the sons of Yah! you are that manifestation Heaven has been anticipating your awakening. Every delay with synchronization. Every silence was preparation now is the revealing do not shrink do not apologize for being chosen, carry your crown with humility and boldness speak when he says speak move when he says move rest when he says rest the rhythm of obedience will keep you safe. You are no longer guessing your way through life, you are being guided by glory. The cloud that lead Israel still leads you only now it resides within! The pillar of fire burns in your spirit you have become the temple of his presence and wherever the temple moves, victory follows! mountains melt like wax before the Lord Psalm 97:5 chains dissolve at the sound of his name, demons flee at your whisper of worship you are clothe in authority! covered in grace! commission for impact! the same spirit that raised Yahusha from the dead quickens your mortal buddies Roman says you carry resurrection power in every breath! so walk like it! pray like it! Love like it! forgive like it! you are not ordinary you are eternal wrapped in human form the kingdom of Yah is within you, Luke 17:21 wherever you go heaven goes! whatever you touch destiny awakens! the chosen ones carry eternity in their eyes and compassion in their hands! You will never have to go through that again! not because storm cease! because you have learned to sleep through them, you have discovered the peace that guarded Yahusha in the boat the waves may roar, but your heart remains still you are anchored in unshakable confidence. You know the end from the beginning because you trust the one who writes both and in the days to come, your testimony will become a trumpet you will declare I was tried, but I came out purified. I was pressed, but not crushed. I was struck down but not destroyed as in 2 Corinthians 4: 4-8 You will look back and see that every valley became a vineyard! every tear became a seed. Every loss became an investment! the kingdom owes you nothing because it has already repay you in wisdom, strength and glory! this is the hour for the chosen to rise without apology. Heaven is echoing your name and places you have never stepped. People are being prepared to receive your voice your gift your message‘s are opening not because of your strategy, but because of divine orchestration, you will find favor where you were once ignored, you will find acceptance where you were once rejected because the mark of completion rests on you and as you continue this journey, keep this truth sealed in your spirit. Yah finishes what he starts Philippians assures us he which has begun a good work, and you will perform it until the day of Yahusha . The performance of Yah’s promise is unstoppable. The script of your life is written and indelible in every page turns at his command, every chapter carries his fingerprint. You have nothing left to prove just walk it out keep your eyes fixed on the author and finisher of your faith Hebrews 12:2 keep your hands lifted even when logic fails. Keep your heart, tender, even when people harden theirs! keep your hope alive even when evidence is absent! Because faith still moves mountains love still heals wounds and grace still rains! chosen ones congratulations it truly is done. The furnace has finished its work. The sculptor has completed his carving and the masterpiece is emerging in full color. You will never have to go through that again for what once broke you now bow to you. The night is over the morning has come the spirit of Yah is breathing upon you saying behold I make all things new Revelation 21:5 my friend when Yah says it is done the enemy trembles because heaven has already sealed your victory. There are moments when life pushes you so hard that you begin to think. Maybe this is how it will always be But the spirit of the Lord says no my child. This was only a chapter not your story! what you have endured was necessary to reveal the anointing that was hidden inside of you! just as an olive must be crushed to produce oil! you had to be pressed to release what Yah placed in you. It was not punishment. It was preparation when Yahusha hung on the stake and declared it is finished He was clamming that the entire mankind of redemption! REDEEMER!!

RESTORATION OF YOUR IDENTITY

1 Peter chapter 29













Today we are walking in: Restoration Of Your Identity


















Exo 17:9

And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out H977 men, and go out,


fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with


the rod of God in mine hand.


choose

Today we look to the word H977 bachar--to choose, elect, decide for;


to be chosen, selected

The Torah testifies.........……

Deu 7:7

The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose H977 you, because


ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest


of all people:


The prophets proclaim...............…

1Sa 2:28

And did I choose H977 him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer


upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I


give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the


children of Israel?

The writings bear witness............


Psa 25:12

What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in


the way that he shall choose. H977












I came to restore not only your salvation, but your identity 1 Peter 29 declares, but you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood a holy nation of peculiar people chosen there it is again the mark of distinction upon your life. The reason you never fit in the reason compromise always left you empty you were never designed for conformity you were designed for kingdom representation. Heaven‘s DNA runs through your spirit you carry divine genetics when others bow to pressure you stand in promise when others fade in darkness, you ignite in glory. Some of you have been asking, Yah why me why did I have to fight so much and the spirit replies because I trusted you with the battle! Yah never assigns war to the weak! he gives the hardest missions to the strongest soldiers! you endured not because you were stubborn but because you were sustained, you thought you were holding onto Yah, but he was the one holding you psalm 63 says my soul followed heart after the right hand uphold me! that means even when your grip loosen his hand, never let you go There were moments you thought you failed you question whether your faith was enough yet. Grace stood beside you like an unshakable companion, whispering keep walking, and every step you took became a testimony written in the unseen! heaven records, endurance, heaven, honors, perseverance, when no one saw your tears Heaven did! when no one celebrated your small victories angels rejoice! for it is written in Galatians let us not be weary in well doing for in due season. We shall reap if we faint not! Due season is not a date on the calendar. It is a moment when preparation meets Divine readiness! that moment is now!you will notice that your spirit no longer trembles at the same things that once terrified you! the fear has lost its voice. The shame has lost its echo because love has perfected something inside you in the Book of John it says perfect love cast out fear! Yah’s love has matured in you through suffering. Every storm that tried to drown. You only drove you deeper into his arms. Every disappointment pressed you further into his purpose! what you called failure heaven called formation! this new place you are entering, will require the language of faith not the vocabulary of fear! speak as one who knows heaven listens, declare as one who knows the word never returns void! when Yah created the world he spoke it into existence and because you carry his image, your words also carry creative power proverbs 18:21 says death and life are in the power of the tongue! so speak life over every area that once represented death call joy into the spaces that once echoed grief, call peace into the corners that once house anxiety the chosen ones don’t just react to reality. They reshape it through revelation when you decree a thing heaven establishes its job 22 That’s why prayer in this season must shift from pleading to proclaiming! you no longer ask as a beggar you command as a son you stand not outside the veil but within it, you approach not from distant throne, but the seat of your father there is an authority rising within you that hell cannot counterfeit. It is the authority of alignment! when your will mirrors, his! creation response! when your heartbeats with his rhythm miracles become normal that is why Yahusha said in John 14:12, he that believe on me the works that I do shall he do also And greater works than these shall he do greater works because he intended his life to multiply through you! you are the continuation of Yahusha ministry in the Earth. You are not waiting for revival. You are revival walking!every time you forgive! when you could retaliate! the kingdom advances! every time you give when you could withhold! heaven‘s economy expands! Every time you love the unlovable. The heart of Yahusha is revealed. That is the lifestyle of the chosen, they carry heaven into human Spaces! they become portals of divine reality look around you. The world is hungry for authenticity people are drowning in noise, but starving for truth. You have been trained for this hour. Your testimony is not a private story. It is a public key what you overcame unlock freedom for others! the addiction you conquered gives authority to deliver the addicted! the depression you survived, equips you to speak life into the broken The betrayal you endured enables you to teach loyalty. Nothing you faced is wasted in the kingdom. Pain becomes prophecy. That is why the apostle wrote in Corinthians who comfort us in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble! comfort becomes transferable! healing becomes contagious! you were healed to heal! you were delivered to deliver. You are blessed to be a blessing The chosen carry generation assignments what begins and you will continue through those connected to you. Your obedience is creating a highway for the next generation and as you walk forward, remember this destiny demands discipline. Grace is not a license to drift. It is the power to stay anchored the more Yah reveals the more he requires! Micah 6:8 says he has showed the old man what is good and what does the Lord require of the to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with by Yah! humility will keep you in places that pride would expel you from! purity will preserve you in seasons where compromise destroys many!!integrity will sustain your influence when applause fades! guard your heart! guard your ears! guard your altar, because the enemies last attempt will always be distraction if he cannot destroy you, he will attempt to dilute you! He will send noise to pull you from intimacy. He will magnify options to obscure your obedience, but you know too much now! you tasted too much of his presence to settle for surface living! you have discovered that one moment in his presence outweighs a lifetime of worldly applause! chosen ones are custodians of presence wherever they go the atmosphere shifts darkness retreats not because they shout but because they carry light, Matthew 5:14 says You are the light of the world! A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden! That is who you are a city not a shadow you are visibility for invisible glory. You were never meant to hide your fire. You were meant to illuminate nations and nations will come. The people you once thought would never notice you will now seek your council not because you chased fame but because you carry truth, there is a magnetism to authenticity that no marketing and manufacture when heaven endorses you earth recognizes you.

THEY WERE EXPIRED

My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change H2015:


















They were expired! you cannot step into your next season with yesterday‘s mindset. Yah is renewing your thinking because your capacity must match your calling Romans 12 says be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Transformation is not about relocation. It’s about revelation! you can change cities and still remain the same person! if your mind remains unrenewed, but when your mind is renewed, even in the same place, everything changes! you begin to perceive differently pray differently, plan differently! you stop reacting to life and start governing it. You stop waiting for a favor and start walking in it. This is the level where faith becomes your default language! you stop doubting whether Yah will do it because you know he already has! you start walking as one who understands that time does not limit Yah! it reveals his timing. You stop chasing signs and start becoming one. The chosen ones are not impressed by miracles. They are instruments of miracles citizens of Yah what’s coming next will not require your striving! it will require your resting! Because Grace works best in surrender. You don’t have to push doors open. They will open because of who sent you! you don’t have to beg for acceptance you are already seated with Yahusha in heavenly places, Ephesians 2:6 you don’t have to fight to be seen! your light Will announce you! when the season is right and when you walk into rooms this time you’ll notice something! The same atmosphere that used to intimidate you! will now celebrate you because you’re not walking in as who you were, you’re walking in, as who Yah made you to be, you carry presence! you carry authority! you carry peace that confuses the enemy! the chosen ones don’t have to shout to be known! their spirit speaks before they open their mouth. That’s why Yah had to isolate you before he elevated you isolation is heaven‘s classroom for revelation! While you thought you were alone Yah was downloading strategies, visions, and instructions. He was pruning you for purpose! you were not being punished you were being positioned! you had to be hidden so that what he placed in you could mature! fruit cannot ripen in constant exposure. It needs quiet, stillness, and protection! And now you are ready. The oil has settled! the roots have deepen! the word has taken form in your spirit, you have been prepared for such a time. This is the same anointing that kept Esther in hiding is now bringing her before the king the same spirit that concealed Moses in the basket is now commissioning him to lead deliverance, the same Yah who silenced Joseph in prison is now calling him to interpret dreams in the palace! you are about to move from preparation to presentation And when Yah presents you, no one can ignore you! because divine timing is louder than human effort! proverbs 18:16 says a man’s gift make a room for him and bring him before great men. Your gift has been refined. Your heart has been purified. Your motives have been sanctified. You are no longer chasing opportunity opportunity will start chasing you, but be careful not to forget where you came from! the chosen ones carry humility as a mantle! you will rise, but you will remain low before Yah! you will walk in favor, but you will walk in fear of Yah you will possess abundance, but you will remember that it is he who gives you the power to get wealth Deuteronomy the more he exalts you the more you must decrease in self and increase in surrender. This is how you preserve the oil. This is how you remain in divine flow Because success is not the reward of faithfulness. It is the responsibility of stewardship. Yah doesn’t bless you so you can boast he blesses you so you can build! he doesn’t anoint you so you can impress! he anoints you so you can impact! beloved everything you went through was training for trust! Every closed door taught discernment! every delay taught patients! every loss taught dependence! and now the Holy Spirit is releasing divine confidence into your spirit you will speak, and things will shift! you will pray and atmospheres will respond. You will walk into chaos and peace will manifest because the authority of the chosen is not in their words, but in their intimacy with the word! this is why Yahusha said in John 15:7 if you abide me and my words abide in you ask whatever you wish and it shall be done unto you. Obedience is the secret! the chosen ones don’t visit his presence they live in it. That’s why your future is secure. You are not merely surviving anymore. You are reigning. You are not enduring storms. You are commanding seasons! you are not waiting for miracles. You are walking and perpetual manifestation. Congratulations. It’s done. The old season has closed! the warfare that once defined your nights has been silenced by divine decree! the pain that once stole your joy has become fuel for your destiny. You are no longer who you were when the trial began! You are stronger! You are deeper anchored and more dangerous to hell than ever before! the chosen ones are rising, not to be seen, but to be sent! you will never have to go through that again not because life will spare you, but because Grace will sustain you! not because trials will end, but because they no longer have the power to control your peace! The chosen ones have learned to sing in prison! to praise in fire! to trust in silence! you’ve learned the rhythm of heaven you’ve become the evidence of endurance. You’ve become the sound of victory, and now beloved The Ruach of Yah is stirring your heart to believe again! you have walked through valleys that silence your laughter through nights that questioned your faith, but now the Dawn has come the light you see is not the reflection of the old season. It is the first gleam of the new season! for the word it says in Isaiah 61 arise shine for daylight is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon! You are not waiting for light anymore. The light has found you! the glory is not coming. It is resting upon you. You are standing in the fulfillment of what you once only prayed about when Yah says arise. He does not merely call you to stand. He calls you to transform your posture. The posture of defeat must give way to the posture of dominion! the posture of survival must give way to the posture of Sonship. You are not a beggar at heavens gate you are an hire seated with Yahusha. That is why the enemy tried so hard to convince you that you were disqualified! he feared the day you would remember who you are because identity is the key to authority! Adam fell not because he didn’t have authority! The serpent convinced him of who he was not!

Surrender to Yah! He gives peace that passes understanding Fiveamprayer when you reach this stage, you begin to recognize that peace is not the absence of storms. It is the presence of Yahusha in the midst of them. You begin to understand that deliverance is not always the removal of pain, but the revelation of purpose within pain! that’s what Yahusha meant when he said in John 16:33 in this world, you will have tribulation but be a good cheer. I have overcome the world you are an overcome! not because the battle stopped! because you learn to stand! even while it raged, you have emerged from the fire without the smell of smoke. People will look at you and not understand how you survived, but if they could see what Yah was doing behind the scenes, how he covered you How he carried you! how he spoke to you when you felt forgotten! they would know it was grace all along. That’s why the chosen ones never boast in their strength they boast in his mercy because we know that if it had not been for the Yah, who is on our side, Psalm 24 and one we would’ve been consumed and so now the spirit of the Yah is saying to you Walk forward! you’ve been circling the same mountain long enough you’ve been rehearsing the same pain long enough! the wilderness was a classroom, but the class is over. It’s time to graduate into your promised land. That’s what Yah told Israel in Deuteronomy! you have compass this mountain long enough turn you northward. In other words stop going in circles stop living in yesterday‘s fear! stop feeding from the table of all disappointments! what broke you before cannot break you now!defeated you before cannot touch you now! you see when Yah delivers you. He doesn’t just remove you from the place of bondage. He removes the bondage from within you! Israel left Egypt physically but Egypt was still alive in their minds. Yah had to take them through a wilderness to detox their hearts from slavery that’s what he did in you. He had to remove your dependence on people! on systems!on approval until all that was left. Was your trust in him alone. The wilderness was where your faith was purified where your voice became his echo where your will became aligned with his will! now you are stepping into the promised place, not a land, flowing with milk and honey alone, but a land, flowing with wisdom and peace! You are entering a spiritual dimension where warfare no longer drains you but trains you! opposition no longer frightens you but confirms your assignment! because once you understand who you are in Yahusha , the enemy loses the power to define you by your wounds! you are not the rejected one! you are the refined one! you are not the forsaken one! you are the favored one! you are not the forgotten one! you are the handpicked one! that’s why the enemy attacked you so violently because he saw the evidence of divine selection Before you did. He saw the oil on you before you ever recognized it. He saw the anointing on your name before you understood your name carried authority. That’s why the warfare was intense because destiny was calling you and he was terrified of your awakening. Remember David he was anointed in secret before he was celebrated in public when Samuel 16:13 says then, Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brethren, and the spirit of Yah came upon David from that day forward From that day forward not from the day he sat on the throne from the day of anointing! the oil attracted opposition before it attracted opportunity so jealousy was not personal. It was prophetic. Every attack on David’s life was proof of what was on David’s life. The same is true for you. That’s why you went through what others could not survive! that’s why people who started with you could not continue with you! the call of Yah is not democratic. It is divine. He chooses who he will! who He wants and for what he will, he doesn’t ask permission from your critics to bless you. He doesn’t need votes to validate your Calling When he says you’re chosen every force in hell may scream unqualified! but heaven‘s word is scripture says in Romans, 11:29 for the gifts and calling of Yah are without repentance that means he never takes it back! even when you failed. He didn’t revoke your assignment Even when you doubted! he didn’t withdraw his promise because your mistakes were already factored into his plan! Grace was your safety net. Mercy was your covering! love was your restoration so congratulations it’s done. You have been forgiven, restored repositioned, and realigned. What used to try to define you! no longer has authority over you since chain is broken. Fear grip is gone! the guilt of the past cannot enter your new season. The blood of Yahusha has declared you free! as John 18:36 says if the Son therefore shall make you free you shall be free indeed that’s not poetic language that’s legal authority. You are no longer a prisoner to your past. You are a citizen of purpose. The chosen ones always carries scars, but those scars are not marks of shame! they are proof of survival! when Yahusha appeared to his disciples after the resurrection he did not hide his scars. He said look at my hands and my side. See you John 20:27 why because resurrection does not erase the evidence of pain it redeemed it. The scars prove that death tried!! but failed. It prove that the grave had power, but not final say! you too will carry evidence not of what broke you, but of what built you and I hear the spirit saying you are stepping into your resurrection moment! the stone has been rolled away. Season of silence has ended. You are no longer confined to the tomb of yesterday‘s mistakes! what you thought was an ending was actually a winning. What looked like a burial! was a planting. Yah buried the old you! so that resurrection could bring forth the new you. That’s why the pain was deep because purpose was being birthed! just as Lazarus heard the voice of Yahusha say come forth that John 11:43 your spirit is hearing that same command now come forth from fear! come forth from doubt! come forth from shame! come forth from every limitation that tried to keep you bound! the grave clothes are falling off! you’re about to walk out of the very place that once defined you! defeat you! and when you come forth the same people who witnessed your decay will witness your deliverance but remember chosen ones with new life comes new responsibility. You cannot carry the new wine in old wine skin. That’s why Yah allowed certain relationships and environments to fall away! They were not evil!

UNDERSTANDING THE WOMAN’S COMMUNICATION STYLE!!!




I have seen too much not to know that the impression of a woman may be more valuable than the conclusion of an analytical reasoner.

~Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

(as Sherlock Holmes)




Yah made women and men very different from each other in the way they think, act and respond. These differences were designed to be complementary and not divisive. Adam and Eve originally lived in harmony with Yah, and so they were able to live in harmony with one another. They knew how to draw on each other’s strengths in communication for the betterment of them both. However, when humanity turned away for Yah’s purposes and broke relationship with Him, the lines of communication between males and females were cut or at least badly frayed. Thus, the differences that were originally designed to correspond to one another now often lead to misunderstandings and conflicts in marriage and in other relationships between women and men.




The chances are very good that you have experienced some of this misunderstanding and conflict firsthand! Handling differences of opinion and avoiding discord are common problems in relationships.




Consequently, how should you conduct yourself when you have been created to function differently from others with whom you live and work? How are you to live harmoniously with a husband or wife whom you love but who processes information and responds in a manner that is totally distinct from the way that you do? How do you make yourself understood and how do you communicate effectively? Most of all, how do you keep from trying to control another person or driving a wedge between yourself and others because of these differences?




How do you live harmoniously with someone who is different from you?




Many women and men struggle with these issues. The answer is to understand the purposes and designs of females and males that influence their communication styles. With this knowledge- and some patience and forgiveness- females and males who are seeking Yah’s redemptive purposes for their lives can communicate with one another effectively and happily. Perhaps Colassians 3:13 would be a good guiding principle for us as we deal with differences in communication: “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as The Most High forgave you.” When women and men are considerate with one another, they have the basis on which they can develop the mutual love and honor that is crucial to lasting relationships.




Let us now look at the female’s communication style and contrast it with the male’s style, so that their different perspectives can be understood and appreciated. In this way, they may be brought into the complementary balance that was Yah’s original purpose for them. This balance will be achieved when females and males understand the strengths of each communication style and when they learn to communicate with each other according to the style that the other party can receive and understand.




The following are the basic natures and tendencies of females and males in communication. Of course, there will always be exceptions, depending on the individual. Yet within the variations, the general tendencies usually hold true.




The Woman Is An “Emotional Feeler”




Yah made the woman primarily as an “emotional feeler,” while He made the man chiefly as a “logical thinker.” First, let’s define these terms.




When I say that a woman is an emotional feeler, I am referring to the way in which she processes and thinks about the verbal and nonverbal communication she receives and perceives from the world around her. Because the woman is an incubator, she not only receives thoughts and ideas into her being but also transforms them as she processes them in her emotional, mental, and spiritual wombs. Her communication style reflects this process. When a woman receives information, she assesses it both mentally and emotionally at the same time. This is what makes her distinct from the male, who generally uses these functions separately. Why is this so?




Again, purpose determines design. Yah’s creation is remarkable. He actually designed the brains of females and males to be different. The neural pathways between the left and right hemispheres of a woman’s brain (both logical and emotional sides) are intact. This explains what often puzzles many men: how women are able to do multiple tasks at the same time, rather than having to focus on just one. The woman’s brain allows her to process facts and feelings almost simultaneously. Her emotions are with her all the time she is thinking, and this influences her perspective on the world around her as well as what is communicated to her.




In contrast, there are fewer nerves connecting the two hemispheres of the male’s brain, so that the logical and emotional sides are not as closely connected. Because of this, he basically needs to “shift gears” to move from his dominant logical side to his emotional side. This is why men, in general, think in terms of facts and in a linear fashion. They think like a straight line- the shortest distance between two points- which gives them the ability to see the goal (the vision) and to focus their energies on reaching it in the most straightforward way.




Women, on the other hand, tend to think more like a grid than a straight line. A woman’s brain is designed to pick up many details that men don’t “see,” things that go beyond the mere facts, such as the personalities, motivations, and feelings of both herself and others. She can perceive, analyze, evaluate, and see relationships between things all at the same time, like x, y, and z coordinates on a grid track a multiple of factors at the same time.




No one person, and no one gender, can look at the world with complete perspective. Therefore, Yah has designed things so that when the female-man and the male-man work together in unity, they can help one another to see a more balanced picture of life. They weren’t meant to understand the world and fulfill their dominion mandate in isolation from one another. For this reason, they have built-in ways of seeing the world that are of benefit to each other. Yah designed the woman to look at life through an emotional filter and the man to look at life through a logical filter. This does not mean that women do not use logic or that men do not have emotions. They each have a specific way of looking at the world.




The women can help the man see aspects of life, which, if overlooked or ignored, can become detours or potholes preventing him from reaching his goal or from reaching it as quickly as he might have. Her peripheral vision keeps him from being blindsided as he single-mindedly pursues his goals and objectives. On the other hand, the man’s linear thinking helps the woman not to become so enmeshed in many layers of her multidimensional thinking that she loses sight of the goal and never reaches it. Women and men need each other to chart the best course in life- one that enables them to reach their common goal but also experience their journey in the fuller, wisest, and most rewarding way possible.




Women often have been written off as foolish and inferior by men because they are expressive and show their emotions. A woman does not need to apologize for her emotions. Yah made her to feel. Males have assumed that their approach is better than the females’ approach, rather than complementary to it. They haven’t known or understood how and why the woman was created to be an emotional feeler.




Feeling and Thinking




What communication between women and men comes down to is feeling, thinking and self expression. Women and men both feel. Women and men both think. It is their manner of looking at the world and their self expression that makes the difference. A woman’s first reaction will generally be an emotional one followed by a thinking one. The man’s first reaction will be a thinking one, but he will also feel.




Because the woman was created to be more attuned emotionally, she feels everything from the way a person looks at her to what a person is saying or doing. This is a natural response for her, because she was made to feel the world around her and within her.




When we don’t understand purpose, we begin to misinterpret motives.




For example, a woman will be looking forward to a romantic evening with her husband that they had planned. She will prepare the food, set the table, arrange the flowers, maybe even polish the silverware, and then meet him at the door when he comes home. Her husband walks in, says hello, then strides right past her without noticing that she has dressed up. Instead of going to the table, he goes into the living room and says, “I’m going to have dinner in front of the TV while I watch the news.” His mind is still in work mode. He is intent on finding out any information that may affect his work and thus his ability to provide for his wife and family. However, because his wife doesn’t understand this, she is deeply hurt at his behavior; her first reaction is to feel that he is ungrateful, inconsiderate, and totally heartless. So she goes into the living room and approaches him angrily. He asks, “What’s the matter with you?”




At this point, she sees nothing complementary in the way he is designed. When we don’t understand purpose, we begin to misinterpret motives. It is this suspicion that creates conflict. This is why understanding purpose and design is so important. Both the woman’s reaction and the man’s reaction are related to the way they are made. She took his apparent indifference personally, while his mind was preoccupied with what he was thinking so that he did not notice what his wife was feeling.




When women and men understand that the female-man is an emotional feeler and that the male-man is a logical thinker, they can understand how to use their differences for the betterment of them both. The point is that the distinct differences between women and men are meant to be a help to them- not a hindrance or source of pain. One way of thinking and communicating is not better than the other way, and the inherent differences between the two are not a result of the Fall. The way women and men are designed is for their good. They just need to exercise patience and understanding and to value the other’s contribution.




Self-Expression




A woman can generally express her feelings and thoughts better than a man can. Most women love to talk because of Yah’s purpose for them. Yah designed the woman to communicate what is going on in her heart and mind. Because a man talks less than a woman does, he can sometimes give her the impression that he is not doing much thinking. Men think quite a bit; however, they often don’t express their thoughts, and when they do, they express only the most salient points because they are interested in facts rather than details.




This is why a man can walk into the house and bypass a beautifully set table his wife has prepared and not say anything about it. The man needs help in switching his focus from linear thinking about his goals and work to an appreciation of the sensory and emotional aspects of life. Then he can notice and appreciate what his wife has done for him. He also needs to learn to articulate what he appreciates and feels. The woman, on her part, needs to understand when the man walks by her table without saying anything, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is being inconsiderate. It means that he is in a linear frame of mind, because this is his natural mindset.




Do Men Really Have Emotions?




Contrary to what many women believe, men do have emotions. They just don’t always express them- either because it is more difficult for them to or because their thinking rather than their emotions is at the forefront of what they are engaged in. It all goes back to purpose. Yah designed the man with the capacity to focus on the cold hard facts of a situation. Why? It is because he was created first, and in that position was designed to lead. A leader can’t afford to base his decisions on emotion, especially in a crisis.




Remember, we are talking about general tendencies. This doesn’t mean that a woman can’t lead. However, when she does, she often has to balance her emotions with the facts in order to make the best decisions. Moreover, her instincts can serve her well in this capacity.




She is feeling; he is thinking.




I have observed that the way a man acts when he receives information from a woman can make her angry. Suppose she says, “The mortgage is due, and we’re behind in our payments.” He says, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it.” His wife says, “But you don’t understand what I said. We don’t have any money, and they’re coming to get the furniture!” He replies, “I know. I said I’ll take care of it.” The woman phones her mother, cousin, and aunt to tell them about her situation, but the man seems almost nonchalant about it. The woman could interpret his response to mean that he doesn’t care. Yet all this time, he’s been thinking about what he’s going to do. She is feeling, he is thinking. He is formulating all kinds of schemes in his head about how he can get the money. Since a female is an emotional feeler, she is generally led or motivated by her emotions, even though she also think. Yet a male is led or motivated by his thinking because of his leadership and provider responsibilities.




There are times when a woman isn’t feeling what a man is thinking, and a man is not thinking what a woman is feeling. When this happens, the lack of communication between them compounds their frustration with one another. Men need to learn to tell women what they are thinking and feeling. Again, when the man walks past the beautifully laid dinner table, he has to remember to express his feelings. At the same time, the woman shouldn’t consider his unemotional response as being either irresponsible or inconsiderate.




A Perfect Balance




The man generally bases his thoughts and actions on what is logical; he factually analyzes everything. This is both a strength and a weakness, because emotions and insights are very important to a person’s functioning in the world. Therefore, the man needs someone who can balance his logic with feeling. Otherwise, he’ll go through life with merely a cold, logical outlook. He needs someone who can show him the emotional side of life, who can remind him of his need to be sensitive to others. I appreciate Yah’s design. He designed things in such a way that females and males need one another.




The female was created to help the man in that, whatever the male lacks, the female has. The female’s emotional feeling will balance the male’s logical thinking. Many women don’t understand how important they are to the men in their lives. What the male-man lacks, the female-man possesses. The reverse is also true. This principle is based on Yah’s purpose. Whatever Yah drew out of Adam to make Eve, the man needs in order to be complete. There are qualities in the woman that Yah took out of the man at creation that a man needs.

THE INDISCREET TONGUE

The Indiscreet Tongue

Discretion will protect you,

and understanding will guard you.

Proverbs 2:11




After the great flood that destroyed most of the

earth, Noah planted a vineyard. One day he got car-

ried away and drank too much wine. His son Ham

discovered him in his tent—drunk and naked.

Scripture tells us that Ham “saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside” (Genesis 9:22). Exercising more discretion than Ham, his brothers would not even look on their father, but backed into the tent and covered him with a garment. Their discretion was a sign of their maturity. One who is discreet shows prudence and wise self restraint in speech and behavior—and always reaps a positive consequence.




Indiscretion can be costly. Some subject matters should simply be off limits for discussion. You would be wise to never discuss your salary or bonus—especially with other company personnel. Your sex life should also be off limits as an item of discussion with a non-counseling outsider.





Ham’s indiscretion proved costly for him. When

Noah sobered up, he realized his shame and was

sorely displeased with the manner in which Ham had

handled the situation. Noah cursed him and doomed

his descendents to slavery.




Have you ever found out something about a

leader or other prominent person and could not

refrain from telling someone? If God has trusted you

enough to reveal someone’s nakedness or sin, have

you ever considered that you were not to “see” and

“tell” but rather to cover that nakedness with discretion and intercession?




Having grown up in church,I have seen the nakedness of many leaders.God has often reminded me that He was trusting me not to “cover up,” but to “cover with.” It can be a very uncomfortable position. God may even call you to confront the individual regarding his or her wrongdoing. He did so with Nathan the prophet, who confronted David about his adultery with Bathsheba and his subsequent murder of her husband to cover it up (2 Samuel 12).Whatever God mandates, do it His way. A public revelation is not always necessary as it can cause irreparable damage to the body of Hamachiach. David’s sin with Bathsheba never became the topic of a public scandal. However, David suffered the consequences through his family and other areas of his life. A leader’s punishment is God’s business.




Caution! If you serve in a position of authority,

such as a member of a board of directors, then you

have a responsibility to deal with ungodly behavior

in a leader. Confront with love and compassion. No

one is perfect, and no one has 20-20 vision on himself. Remember that. God may someday show someone your nakedness. Pray that it will be handled with wisdom. Plant the seed of discretion now.




Today’s Affirmation:

My discretion will protect me and

understanding will guard me.
