From previous posts most readers will recognize that
a nun or noon;
different spellings are used.
is the 14th letter of the Hebrew alef-bet
and that it looks like this in the chart below.
The early paleo picture symbol meaning of this letter is that of a seedling/sprouting seed with the root coming from it
later it developed into
this modern shape below;
with an additional shaped letter for the
called noon sofeet;
and the symbol of a fish was also used.
In the 4 gospels
Yeshua/Jesus repeatedly speaks of the seed
as a picture reference in His parables.
Matt 13:23 Mark 4:1-20 Luke 8:1-15
are well known and popular scriptures, and with the reference Yeshua/ Jesus gives,
it is made clear how the seed grows and how
we have nothing to do with the process
once we sow the seed.
However how does this apply to our lives?
It tells us …
Although the man does not know how it grew
and we are just the same…
Many times we understand the concept. The parable or scene described is a great picture and then we are left to wonder how does this apply to me and how do I do it?
How does it become a reality in my life?
Many times the Sermons we hear are all very encouraging and uplifting and we feel great, only to have the feelings fade once we go home and face daily life.
The application of His Word needs to be evident if we are to mature and bring forth a harvest that is not only a good harvest; but an enduring one with eternal value.
That your fruit may remain. John 15:16
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain:
John 15:16
Your fruit should remain means:
keep up the fruit you are bearing, or
continue with the fruit you are bearing and never stop,
or keep on bearing the fruit you have started bearing.
The phrase: Your fruit should remain, expresses habit.
A habit is something we do so often and regularly that it is very hard to stop.
We should feel like this regarding the work of the Lord.
The word says we are to sow seed.
God is the supplier of all seed (Nun/Noon)
He cannot supply seed to us unless we are first born again by His RuachHaKodesh/His Spirit of Holiness; and then we need to have faith to turn over our hands, so that the seed might fall to the ground and become a great harvest in our lives.
He gives to all the measure of Faith.
After that it doesn’t need our help
it’s not the seed or the one who sows that produces the crop
but the soil by itself
with no help from humans.
The Father gives the increase.
We believe that since something grows where we scattered, that it grew from our seed.
What proof is there that the seed we scattered and planted is the same seed that sprouts and grows?
First the stalk
after that the head
and after that
the full grain in the head.
The truth is that from the moment it leaves our hand and is covered with soil we do not see the seed again. We just trust that the seed we sowed is the same seed that will grow is and is the one that pushes up through the earth.
This evidence is only based on circumstances because the truth is, once the seed leaves our hands and is put in the soil we never see the seed again!
All we can do is simply trust/faith, that what we planted will actually grow.
We wait,
we sleep at night,
awake in the day
but how does it grow?
We just don’t know!
Our work was finished at the sowing.
This parable is a picture of the kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed on the earth.
Meaning the kingdom produces through its’ own power.
Scripture says
BY ITSELF
the soil produces a crop
but the soil by itself
with no help from any person.
For by itself the earth brings forth fruit.
The person’s work has already been done by scattering the seed on the ground.
This is all the individual does and as the days pass the seeds springs up and grows.
Another verse of this parable says the seed is the Word of God and the ground/earth are the individuals who are in the world and their reaction to the word/ seed sown once embedded in its birthing place;
and the type of ground/ is the persons life.
The ground is the world.
The sower is our Heavenly Father.
Yeshua/Jesus explained it clearly.
Life springs forth –that life comes from the soil of the earth which our Father created.
In this parable/example He says:
First, the stalk
this is describing and likening his kingdom to the support structure planted deep in the life giving soil.
There is a Godly order to everything our Heavenly Father created; everything in its timeand season.Eccl.3 and Genesis 1
Yeshua/ Jesus was aware of timing and said:
My time has not yet come.
Secondly, after that the head:
which is the housing for the fruit of the crop.
The process continues, with
the third, after that the full grain in the head
Here He is giving the progress of the seed,
both as
how it is received
and then
what is produced.
Meaning, the fruit comes forth in abundance.
Here we see that in perfect time Godly order that
life gives way to fullness
and the seedling grows to maturity.
For the believer maturity is revealed by abundant fruit.
Becoming mature is to become a stable vessel fit for the Masters use.
Why is this important?
It is for Him to flow His power through us to do the works of Jesus/ the Father, the power is to make visible the works of His kingdom in visible demonstration.
This is how to apply it to ourselves we need more of His Spirit of Holiness to cleanse us and prepare us to be suitable vessels.
As it was said of Paul in
Acts 9:22more and more power flowed through him.
(Acts 9:20) Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
How do we produce lasting fruit and what is it?
Lasting fruit is in Matt.10:8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give.
And Matt.28:19
AND The making of disciples who endure.
Making disciples is about continuing the cycle of redemption, passing on the faith that was passed to us; it starts with salvation and continues with a lifetime of growth.
The final destiny of the seed is realized from its humble beginning/Genesis, in the sowers hand, it has reached its potential in fullness.
However it has not yet served its ultimate purpose even in its most pristine and grandest state..
Why?
Because it cannot grow anymore… the maturity has been reached….
So what is next?
The crop is ready… the harvest is ripe
The farmer, the man, sends forth the sickle and
life gives birth to death.
The crop is cut down in its prime and
now able to finally fulfill its destiny and purpose.
This is the completion of a disciples life on earth…
as we give
birth to death, our purpose here is completed,
we die physically/ temporarily
in order to live spiritually/ eternally!
It is a transition from natural to supernatural, we are harvested by His hand and translated into His eternal kingdom in the heavens.
At the point we can go no further, when we reach the point of maturity in Him, which is destined by His plan and purpose for us. He calls us to Himself and we are plucked from the earth and gathered unto Him.
Our task complete,
once we have finished our race
He takes us home.
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 2Thess. 2:1
He gathers the wheat into His barn/storehouse.
Matthew 3:12
We, like the farmers seed, have been scattered on the ground; but He is calling us today to sprout and grow.
How… we don’t know!
But by itself… His spirit…
His Ruach HaKodesh
His Spirit of holiness produces a crop!
The Lord is calling us to lay down our lives
for the time is at hand
when the head will be full of grain.
The time of the harvest has come and as soon as it is in full ripeness and ready… He will come with His sickle.
We must yield ourselves and be ready to die in order to live because the time of the harvest has come and the Lord of the harvest is coming.
For He [the Servant of God] grew up before Him like a tender shoot (plant), And like a root out of dry ground; Is 53:2
Surely he has borne our sicknesses and suffered our pain: and we considered him stricken, smitten of God, and cast down.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. – American Standard Version Job 14:2
Just as He grew up to be cut down
so must we grow up to be cut down.
First, we are to mature to the fullest and be taken and used for his purposes.
We are to surrender to Him because
we cannot know how seeds sprout and grow..
Only He can do that in us;
and only as we surrender and yield to His Way of raising and growing us up to maturity; allowing His Ruach/Spirit to do the hidden work in us and then through us.
We must realize we are not here for ourselves, to live a nice life, we are here to be matured into fruit worthy of the kingdom of the Heavens. We’re not to focus on things and people and places of this earth because it will all pass away very soon. We must focus on Him, on fulfilling our place and purpose, to bring Him glory and to bring many sons with us from the seeds sown.
For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. Heb.2:10
Every farmer/ gardener knows, we plant and watch and wait for the fruits and crops to be declared ready and ripe before reaping the harvest.
Wrong timing means a poor harvest;
which is why He waits for the precious fruit of the earth.
In Luke 6:37
But as soon as the crop is ready to yield itself, immediately the man sends forth the sickle because the harvest has come.
The only seed that flourished and produced any fruit
was the seed that fell into
good ground.
If we are not planted in the good ground of His Word – found in His kingdom, then we will neither grow to maturity nor produce any lasting fruit that will endure or bring glory to the Lord.
Our life will be fruitless and as Solomon said, all is Vanity – in vain, without purpose and useless.
Time to ready ourselves and let His Ruach Ha Kodesh
do the work in and through us,
making sure our lives are good ground.
May His true Shalom/Peace
rest upon each one in Jesus/Yeshuas’ Name.

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…
Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.
I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.
This was the question that Yeshua/Jesus asked His disciples.
He didn’t ask the disciples
who people thought the Son of Man was
out of ignorance or
because He needed to know.
It was a primer for revealing His second question;
which was simply to give each of them an opportunity
to assess the true level of their individual faith.
But you… who do you say that I am?
Matthew 16:15
מי אתה אומר שאני
Parallel accounts are found in
Luke 9:18–20 and Mark 8.
Matthew relates that Peter did more than just identify
Yeshua HaMashiach /Jesus as the Christ/Messiah;
he also proclaimed Yeshua/Jesus’ divine nature:
You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God
Matthew 16:16
Peter answered, ‘God’s Messiah
Upon hearing such a bold response from Peter,
Yeshua/Jesus replied,
Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 16:17
Anochi or Anoki אָנֹכִי
pronounced aw-no-kee’
is the Hebrew of
I AM
and is referring to His essence, it is something that cannot be alluded to by any name or intimation.
The most famous statement ever uttered in all of history
The Ten Sayings/Commandments
begins with this unusual four-letter word:
Anochi.
The word means I, referring to God
I the Lord Your God took you out of Egypt….
Ani
is the common Hebrew pronoun for
I.
Some scholars say that
Anochi
is an acronym for
Ana Nafshi Ketovit Yehovit.
Which simply translated is:
I Myself wrote [these words and] gave [them to you].
In Exodus 3 and you will see the ancient Hebrew form for
“I am” is ehyeh.
In Ancient Hebrew
Future tense and Present tense were IDENTICAL.
Ehyeh is BOTH future and present tense.
Ancient Hebrew did not make a time distinction in its verb “tenses”, but a completion distinction.
An action was either complete or it was not complete.
In Hebrew, traditionally they call the completed aspect
(perfective) “past tense”;
and the not-completed aspect
(imperfective) “present/future tense”;
this is just so English speakers
don’t get too confused by perfective and imperfective.
ehyeh asher ehyeh
for
I am who I am
sometimes you will even find the footnote,
saying
as a alternate translation,
I will be who I will be.
Not to get too technical or hung up on language details…
Here below are some names of
God/YHWH/YHVH/YaHoVeH
in mp4 format
The ancient Hebrews didn’t write the vowels down, so we don’t know for sure, but Jehovah and Yahweh are both guesses at how this was pronounced.
The important thing is they give us a bigger picture of our Heavenly Father, based on characteristics revealed to people through their experiences, they are known as the attributes of God and these ‘Names’ tell us more about Him, describing His divine nature.
In this video they have pronounced the names according to their knowledge or understanding, it has Hebrew (ivrit), English & urdu translation and transliteration.

While preparing this weeks post, Father/Avinu changed the focus and this is what He would say to us today…
It is for those whose hearts are heavy; and for those dealing with circumstances that seem greater than we are able to bear.
He knows we cannot handle life and all its’ challenges without His help, His presence and His intervention.
He has heard the cries and He is bringing His shalom to comfort all our waste places.
Times of testing, trials and tribulation are not a judgment upon us but rather the place where our faith rises to meet His provision, however low the height of our faith His reach never falls short of meeting our needs.
Family/Mishpachah,
we are His Children, 1John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Luke 18:15-17. And they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them. But Jesus called for them, saying, “Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
John 21:5 Jesus said to them, (His disciples) “Children, do you have any fish?”.
Our Heavenly Father/Avinu is real, Jesus/Yeshua is real.
He lives.
He knows you one by one,
name by name,
wherever you are in the world.
Whatever your situation is,
know that you are better than you think you are.
His goodness is in you!
Especially if there are things in your life
that are very hard; and when
there is physical and emotional pain too,
remember always,
that Our Heavenly Father
and Yeshua/Jesus/ יֵשׁוּעַ love you.
His sheep hear His voice,
and He calls His own sheep by name
and leads them out. John 19:27
4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
Yeshua/Jesus knows your name.
We know that He calls the stars by name. Ps 147:4
and the scriptures tell us
He knows the very number of the hairs on our heads. Luke 12:7
He knows our goings out and our comings in. Is. 37:28
He cares for the sparrows, and God Himself says
you are more valuable than many sparrows.
You are of inestimable worth and you are
His delight,
His beloved,
His joy;
and when God looks at you,
He smiles.
He loves you so very much.
He knows the pains and the difficulties we face.
He knows the decisions and disasters that cover our paths.
He knows the rejections and rebuffs we receive,
and He cares about the deep hurts we have known.
This is why He wants us to see Him as our Father, a true loving Father, who cares deeply about what is happening to His children.
We are to cease striving like the world does,
we are to stop trying to make it on our own
and really
surrender ALL to Him
for He cares for us.
That is the child-like faith…
believing He is able,
to take all our cares
when we roll them over onto His shoulders;
and let Him carry them
and us too.
All of us have a name that was given by someone else, usually our parents. Names in the Bible had a great significance and were often prophetic to that individuals life, where the meaning became their destiny in God.
It is not so true today, however the scripture tells us that one day we will be given a new name and that no one but us will know it.
This is significant in that, if you don’t know the name of something/ someone, you cannot have dominion or power over them. So It could be that our new name means that nothing will ever defeat us or have power over us again.
Revelation 2:17 – He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and
anew name
written on the stone
which no one knows but he who receives it.’
If we hold fast to our faith,
if we confess to knowing the Name
of the One who knows our name…
then we trust
that God will carry us through anything. Is. 43:2.
In John 10:14,15
God knows our names
and loves us enough,
not only to know the number of hairs on our head,
but to offer us His only Son.
This is the God who knows us,
the God who calls us by name.
He knows our weakness.
He knows our helpless despair.
He knows our restless misery.
This next week marks the Passover/Pesach season.
As we remember what He did for us…
know that what we may be experiencing is temporary.
God Knows Your Name:
You Belong to Him and He loved you enough to give His life for
YOU
My prayer is that each one would know
‘How deep is the Fathers love is for you.’
His blood paid the price for us to not only be forgiven,
but to be in His eternal presence…
Remember He said through the prophet
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name;
you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1).
That powerful promise confirms that God knows your name!
And Rev. 3:5
and I shall confess
his name
before my Father and before his angels
Below is a song to minister to everyone,
whether you are in a place of great need or not
it’s for a point from which we can place all our focus on Him
and the victory won at Calvary.
Below are some scriptures to aid our quiet times.
I know we love to study and learn of His Word, however spending time in His presence yields far greater treasures. If you are not in a place of great need, then take the time to pray for those who are…we are one family,
one body and when one hurts we all hurt.
Let’s agree together that our Father will keep us and watch over us in our afflictions, that we not despair in situations which seem insurmountable. He can and has always seen us through. Help us to remember Your deliverance when we least deserved it. Thank you Father that the precious Blood of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua cries mercy for us and covers us, protecting us in His Name.

For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you.

Isaiah 49:1-26 Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar. The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name. He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away. And he said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.” But I said, “I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my right is with the Lord, and my recompense with my God.” And now the Lord says, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him; and that Israel might be gathered to him— for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord, and my God has become my strength— …
Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.
Isaiah 43:7 Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”

It’s true that the Hebrew verb chadesh can mean either
“to make new”
or “to renew,”
but the adjective as used in this passage means
“new.”
Re-New-ed Covenant
or New Testament
The title ‘Brit Chadasha’ is a Jewish term direct from the Tanakh. In Jeremiah 31:31-34.

Hebrew has several words for joy, each with different shades of meaning. ‘Simcha’ (ch is a soft gutteral, between h and the ch of ‘Bach’) means happiness in the most full sense.
‘Gila’ is a stronger sensation of joy but more transient and worldly (related to ‘gal’ = wave.) ‘rina’ is a joy related to singing and shouting.
without blemish, complete, full, perfect, sincerely ity, sound, without spot, undefiled,
From tamam; entire (literally, figuratively or morally); also (as noun) integrity, truth — without blemish, complete, full, perfect, sincerely (-ity), sound, without spot, undefiled, upright(-ly), whole.
Being a Jew, his Hebrew name would have been שמעון בן יונה (shimon ben yonah).
The name שמעון (shimon, Strong’s #559) means “heard.”
In Mark 3:16 we are told that Yeshua (Jesus) gives Shimon the name Peter (Petros in Greek), a Greek name that has no equivalency in Hebrew.
However, in John 1:42 we are told that his new name is, according to the Greek, Kephas (Cephas), not Petros (Peter). Kephas is a Greek transliteration of the Aramaic name כאפא (Kepha, pronounced kee-phah) meaning “stone.”
And I tell you, that you are Kepha, and upon this rock (kepha) I will build my assembly. (Matthew 16:18

NOT SURE? YOU CAN BE..
SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…
Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.
I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.
