Are we really sure of what we are supposed to be doing?
Messiah was very clear in His instructions.
First we are to follow Him… and next to
Go therefore and make DISCIPLES of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and OBEY My words], immersing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20 Amplified Bible
We are to become MORE THAN just believers in Him,
we are to become disciples/talmidim ourselves; for only disciples can make disciples. We will never be greater than our Master/Messiah but we can become like Him.
yet this way is both narrow and difficult.
Matthew 7:13-14.
If we are going to live as disciples of Messiah we have to be obedient to ALL His words and remember that all efforts that are of worth and excellence are difficult. We were never promised an easy life and the difficulties we face are not supposed to make us faint, they are to stir us up to become overcomers.
We may need to rethink our understanding of being an obedient follower of Jesus Christ/Yeshua HaMashiach.
Jesus/Yeshua gives a parable about life and death. He urges His disciples to
seek life
by entering through the narrow gate the one that runs opposite to the way of the world.
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Only one way leads to life!
Matthew 7:13
His gospel, His Truth, has been so watered down and In western society the focus is too much on blessing, comfort and physical prosperity rather than that of life in the Spirit.
Do we really, seriously appreciate the miraculous free gift of salvation offered to us? We are saved by His grace only through the atoning work of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua, which cost Him everything. Philippians 2:13
It is God who works in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure. NOT ours!
Then it is up to us to work out that salvation in our practical daily life. Philippians 2:12.
We will find out that we can do it, if we will only begin on the basis of His redemption and to do what He commands.
“If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments. John 14:15
If we do not put into practice what our Heavenly Father has placed within us, that‘s when we fail; and a crisis will show whether or not we have been doing so. It’s not what we think we know that will save us or make us free.; its only the Truth we know, believe and act on that will. Mental assent does not help us to reach spiritual maturity.
If we will obey the Holy Spirit of our Heavenly Father and practice in our physical life that which He has placed within us by that same spirit; when a crisis comes, we will find that our own nature as well as His Grace/chen will cause us to stand strong in Him and the power of His might. Eph. 6:10.
He told us that in this life we will have tribulation and it will test us for all we are worth.
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] John 16:33 Amplified Bible
Why?
Hebrews 2:10 tells us why ….. it is because He is
bringing
and He will not shield us from the necessary requirements of son-ship, that of being His child. We should rejoice that He gives us difficult things to do because His salvation is a thing of joy and
the joy of the Lord is our strength. Neh. 8:10.
At the same time it also requires of us much bravery, courage and holiness. The work of our Heavenly Father’s grace within our lives is to produce men and women who display a strong family resemblance to Yeshua HaMashiach/Jesus Christ.
We are not to be spoiled, pampered, entitled, complaining, weaklings. We should not be deceived, because it takes a huge amount of personal discipline to live the life of a disciple. One that is worthy and excellent, while facing the realities of a life in this world; however that’s what we are called to do.
We looked at the example of Daniel and an excellent spirit in a previous post.
It is a daily choice, every day.. it is not a one time thing and then we go on our merry way! Its ongoing and lasts as long as we are here on earth, we are to daily take up our cross ….
And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. Luke 9:23. Amplified.
Are we truly willing to daily take up our cross..even if it means enduring pain loss and physical torture and death???
Are we willing to do so for Him?
Many around this world already are…
It is up to us to choose, because
an individual’s will is embodied in the actions of the whole person.
We must exercise our will, putting it in to action; because we cannot give up our will, we must choose to obey, we must set our will to obey and we must will to receive our Heavenly Father’s spirit and those who are obedient will receive His spirit.
And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”NAS Bible Acts 5:32
When the truth is revealed to us, the only question is what will we do, not what the Father will do. When God places big plans in front of us, a wise thing to do is to remember what we did before He touched our lives. If we can remember when we first received Messiah or had a truth revealed to us, it was easy to yield our will to Him and it will help us when His spirit brings something new before us.
Joshua 24:15 choose for YOUR SELVES this day…
Our Heavenly Father does not choose for us, we are to choose for ourselves. It’s not something which we’ll automatically slide into, it is a deliberate determination to choose our Heavenly Father’s Way over our personal way, or what someone else is telling us to do. Galatians 1:16 do not confer with flesh and blood.
The choice is between our Heavenly Father and ourselves, and everything in our lives will be on hold, paused, until we make a decision. In these situations, tension can develop and He allows other believers opinions to matter to us and yet we sometimes wonder if they really understand the steps we are taking; and this makes those around us seem to become more and more separated from us. Faith demands that we have to stop trying to figure out when and where His Spirit is leading; we just have to declare that we will be faithful.
Joshua reminds us in chapter 24:22 that even in this, as soon as we make that choice, we become witnesses against ourselves.
The choice to serve the Lord is personal, we are to will to be faithful, this choice is not something we need to consult with other believers, nor rely on anything or anyone other than the Fathers’ spirit and that includes ourselves. We cannot live a holy life without His Spirit, but we can decide to submit for Him make us holy. Joshua 24:19 reminds us also that neither can we serve the Lord in our own strength, but we can put ourselves in the correct position so that His power will flow through us; and that is all dependent on relationship and requires setting our will to align with His.
Obedience takes faith
and
faithful people are obedient.
In Joshua 24:21 when the people said to him we will serve the Lord.
It was not an impulsive action but a deliberate commitment. It is high time that we make that choice, no more wavering. We must be quick to obey as David said:
I will be quick to obey your commands Ps 119:60
Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will OBEY my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. John 14:23
James 1:19 And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger
We are to be slow to speak, quick to hear and in hearing be a doer.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22
To be quick to hear and slow to speak means, having both humility and respect for others as well as for Messiah. It means we take the necessary time to listen to people instead of just speaking our opinion.
The moving of the Father’s Spirit of Holiness is many times inconvenient to our flesh and it’s often completely opposite to reason or what we sometimes call common sense. We are to obey Him regardless of the cost, yet He will never force us to make the choice; and there will always be an easier away out open to us which will seem more sensible and have less risk involved. All the challenges He places in front of us are to test and develop our faith as well as our obedience, which is needed for the choosing process and to reveal just how much we love Him.
Matthew 7:13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and MANY enter through it.
This is the gate of true conversion, of self-denial, dying to the self life, and of walking the way of holiness; the gate which few, comparatively speaking, are inclined to choose.
This Way, this gate, cannot be entered into without
teshuvah-repentance.
Acts 3:19 “Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.
“I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Luke 13:3
In the Hebrew Alefbet/alphabet,
the letter Hei
is the 5th letter and
a symbol of repentance
HEY or HEI ה is the letter H
Rabbis in the time of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua, would often illustrate spiritual truths using Hebrew letters.
The letter hei makes the sound of the H. Jewish literature teaches that Moses could not speak properly because ‘he was thick of tongue.’ Having an unusually ‘thick tongue’ would make it very difficult for someone to pronounce a name of God that necessitated having to use their tongue to say it; so it is said that our Heavenly Father gave Moses a name for Himself which had letters in it that he didn’t need to use his tongue in order to pronounce.
The letters yod making a Y sound
and the letter vav which makes a V (waw) sound
and the letter Hei which makes the H sound.
The name Yod Hei Vav Hei -YHVH or YHWH
is the name which could be spoken out loud with breath only
and without needing to move the tongue.
Traditionally the letter
hei represents:
the breath and the presence of God.
Some Hebrew scholars teach that our Heavenly Father created the world with the letter hei, H,
meaning:
that He created the world with His breath and presence. He breathed His own life into His creation.
The letter Hei was known as the broken letter.
It is almost identical to the letter Cheth
CHETH (or HETH) kāth ח ḥeṭ .
Sometimes written Chet, but more accurately Ḥet.
As the 8th letter of the Hebrew alphabet
it represents the number 8.
This letter looks the same except that there is a narrow space, a brokenness in the upper left hand corner of the letter hei /H.
This space was known as
the narrow or strait gate
that leads to the Heavenly Father’s presence.
The bottom of the letter is open
and is known as:
the wide or broad gate.
As the Hei represents the breath of God,
and through brokenness which leads to teshuvah/repentance;
an individual will find
the breath of God
which will blow through the narrow gate.
Without repentance we cannot find the Hei,the breath of God which will sustain us so and then we will fall to destructionthrough the wide gate at the bottom of the letter.
The rabbis taught that the letter Hei represents:
the presence and breath of God and that it is very hard to climb to the narrow gate; and few there are who can rise to that narrow gate and achieve such a state of righteousness that they are able to pass through that narrow gate to the Shekinah or the presence of God, but many are those who pass through the broad gate that leads to destruction.
It is possible that Messiah was making reference to this when He said “Enter the narrow gate, for the gate, is wide and the road is spacious which leads to destruction, and many are those who are going in it.” Matthew 7:13?
One thing is certain, our walk with Messiah is a daily walk along the Way that leads to life and to be in His presence for eternity. He is our righteousness and so the climb to the narrow gate is made easier.
However it takes faith to obey, to trust.
Sometimes the simplest statements are the most profound!
Trust and obey for there’s no other way …
as little children would say and sing,
simple and uncomplicated to
trust in,to have faith in
and
obey His commands
because
we truly do love Him above all else
and
put Him 1st in everything we do.
If we truly love Him then we will be truly obedient
and we will be sure of what we are supposed to be doing!
We are to be MORE THAN just believers we are to be
His obedient Disciples/talmidim.
שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם,
Shalom aleikhem
chaverim and mishpachah!
Peace to friends and family.
Shavua Tov, Have a blessed week.
Make certain Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord and soon returning King and that you have a personal relationship with Him.
It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.
You are very precious in His sight.
Not sure ..you can be…
SIMPLY SAY THE FOLLOWING MEANING IT FROM YOUR HEART..don’t delay one more minute,
SAY IT 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.
is a common term/idiom that is used when people cannot make a decision one way or the other.
It’s a life choice that we must make when considering who we follow and serve and which kingdom we are a part of;
either the kingdom of darkness
or
the kingdom of light.
We cannot be in both and there is no grey,
it’s black OR white.
Making no choice is a choice in itself!
The question is, in which kingdom are we dwelling?
Many people are familiar with the sirens that sound a warning of an imminent tornado, or other life threatening situation… when we hear that sound there is no time to prepare ..it’s too late to get ready for whatever is about to happen. This is in a natural sense and everyone should have a plan for things that take us by surprise. If this is true in the natural, then how much more important is it to have an eternal plan already in place? In the natural, people can pick up the pieces and start over and make provision for being ready next time… With the things that pertain to life and godliness, there is no reset button once our days are complete according to His book.
Ps 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.
Then we are called home and we need to know for sure which direction we are headed in for eternity.
We must make that decision that choice now, today is the day of salvation.
The stark truth is there is
NO fence
to sit on.
There is one Kingdom of Heaven where our Heavenly Father and His Messiah is, and another of darkness where He is NOT.
The alarm is sounding loud and clear to get ready
choose this day and choose life,
eternal life. Deut. 30:19
There is only
THE GATE … John 10:1-9
Then we are to live with the kingdom within us, awaiting the fullness of it when we move to His realm; then the physical body will no longer support us or if we are still here at His return.
Only the Father knows when that will be and only He knows when our race is complete…if we are still here then our race is not yet finished….
We are to encourage all those around us
to be ready,
be prepared,
to…
Wake up o sleeper!
Ephesians 5:14
This is why it is said: ‘Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’
Often in the Scriptures believers are exhorted to awake. They are warned of the dangers of spiritual sleep, that such a slumber is like a coma that will result in death unless the believer awakens.
Right now each and every one of us is living/dwelling in a kingdom…. but which one?
There is NO fence…
so in which kingdom are we dwelling?
He who dwells… the first 3 words of Psalm 91:1
The world is in crisis mode and Psalm 91 is one place we can go for help.
Many conversations over the years have revealed that people feel out of place; like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.
Our feelings, responses, beliefs, personality, core values never seem to find a perfect solution, and this feeling grows more than ever in our world today.
The words to many songs describe our position that we are just passin’ through, because this world is without doubt NOT our home. It’s true to say that if you feel comfortable in this world then you are probably dwelling in the wrong kingdom. This world and its systems belong to and have been formed by the prince of this world; the prince of the kingdom of darkness. Scripture says if we love the world the love of the Heavenly Father is not in us. And we cannot have two masters we love one and hate the other. So which one do we really love? Which one are we attached to? The fruit of our lives will reveal truth …
Our lives are a reflection of and summed up by our choices. We are indeed the sum of our choices. What we choose day by day reveals who we truly are. It doesn’t matter what we say who we are is in our choices. The place we cannot depart from is the place of our bondage and we defend the things that have been established in the flesh.
Everyone seems to spend their lives looking for somewhere to call home…
Psalm 91 is likely the home address for all believers and until we experience this psalm, we will forever searching.
We are no doubt familiar with Strong’s definitions, however here are some meanings from the Hebrew Alephbet.
As Proverbs 4:20-22 tells us,His Word is life to all who find it.
In the very first verse of Ps. 91 is a reference to the individual:
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High.
Dwells is not a word we hear everyday.
It may be used to encourage someone to stop focusing and thinking about a situation, however there is another angle revealed in the Hebrew meaning.
InStrong’s #3427, dwells is a primitive root:
yashab
Phonetic Spelling: yaw-shab’
defined as: to dwell, to sit down, to remain, to settle, to marry, make to keep [house], and to return.
Dwell, is indicated as a permanent address by most of the words used to describe it; and not like a hotel, B&B, motel or a travel trailer used on holidays and vacations.
To dwell means: to set up a permanent household, settling down where a house/home can be established, to marry and set up housekeeping.
We may not have realized that all the promises of this Psalm hang on this first phrase…why? Because dwelling is an absolute condition if we want to experience the benefits that are listed in the rest of the Psalm.
We should ask ourselves what does dwell mean to us personally? Then we should find out what does it mean to our Heavenly Father?
We can do this by looking at the Hebrew letters
in the word dwell (remember to read from right to left.)
Bet Shin Yod – yashab
Recall from previous posts that each Hebrew letter has a name, a picture, a number value, and a meaning.
We know that humans discoveries and knowledge called Science, only serves to confirm what believers already know as Truth and scientists have discovered that each letter also has a specific sound frequency when spoken out loud and is the only language known with all of these qualities.
YOD – 10 = The outcome, the completion of something.
Picture:Hand, Right Arm,
Means:Power – Right hand of God’s power, a Deed Done, to Work, to Cover, Allow, Hollow, Open Hand, also refers to His Holy Spirit as the letter always hangs in the air, overseeing.
SHIN – 300 = Victory of good over evil, Holy Spirit.
Picture: Teeth or Fire.
Means:Teeth, Fire, the Fiery zeal of God to consume all His enemies, Devour, Destroy, Something Sharp.
BET 2 = Divide or Division.
Picture: House/floorplan of tent.
Means:House/Family; God’s word, God’s dwelling place
A deeper meaning behind the worddwell is:
He who Dwells is:
Bet…
one who has made the choice to live permanently in God’s house – trusting in God and honoring His Word.
Yod…
There he will experience the activation of God’s right hand of power covering him.
Shin…
And God in His fiery zeal will consume all that tries to keep or draw him away from Dwelling.
When we choose to trust and obey Him, we live secure in His Presence.
We are His dwelling place and He is ours.
According to 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple/sanctuary of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
Colossians 2:9-10 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
He is our house—our hiding place
In the Amplified Bible 2 Corinthians 12:9 reads: But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!
He will pitch a tent over us and DWELL
covering us with Himself!
In our drive through microwave Instagram, hashtag life, dwelling is not something we do very well we have become impatient, wanting everything immediately.
We need to take time with our Heavenly Father today and ask Him to show us how we can dwell more fully in His presence because it’s not just a Sunday/Wednesday attend meeting experience, it is a lifelong process.
Those who have ever remodeled a house know it takes time and longer than a weekend to complete, How much more is it so for Him to dwell in us and for us to dwell in Him; it is a total surrender and commitment of all that we are.
Where do we dwell?
The text says: He who dwells in the Secret Place…
What did he mean by: the Secret Place?
A Secret Place is a …hidden, concealed, private, safe.
SECRET PLACE inStrong’s #5643
סֵ֣תֶר
Cether
Phonetic Spelling:say’-ther
is defined as:
a cover
secrecy
hiding place
protection
and the primitive root #5641 is defined as:
to hide (by covering)
keep close
conceal
to guard
Again reading from right to left, these are the letters that spell Secret in Hebrew:
RESH, TAV, and SAMEKH
SAMEKH 60 = Pride, Conceit, Earthly.
Picture: A Tree propped up by a piece of wood.
Meaning:To Lean Upon, a Prop or Aid, Hold, Assist or Support – the heart of God.
TAV 400 = the Outcome of Trial and Testing.
Picture:A Rough Cross.
Meaning:Cross, Covenant, Seal, Mark, a Sign, Ownership, Finished or Complete.
RESH 200 = Insufficiency, Poverty.
Picture: Head
Meaning: Head, Chief, Beginning, Highest, Most Important, a Person, Human Reasoning vs. Obedience.
When we allow human reasoning, sometimes referred to as common sense, to be our head or master, Spiritual poverty inevitably follows.
The Hebrew Sages see the circular form of the samekh as: the heart of God, which upholds and supports us, in the same way as a circle has no beginning or end, neither does our Heavenly Father. His love is from everlasting to everlasting, we can lean on His faithful love and support and as we do, we will be surrounded, supported, and kept in perfect peace/shalom in the heart of God.
Isaiah 26:3 says,
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.
The meaning of this word through Hebrew eyes when putting this understanding together with the other letters is:
The Secret Place is: living in the midst of our Heavenly Father’s heart, trusting fully in His Word that covers us with His covenant promises of protection, because He loves us and He is head over all.
In Psalm 32:7 David wrote:
You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.
Selah
And in Psalm 31:19-20
Oh, how great is Your goodness,
Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who trust in You
In the presence of the sons of men!
20 You shall hide them in the Secret Place of Your presence
From the plots of man;
You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion
From the strife of tongues.
The words
hiding place and the secret place
come from the same root word.
To dwell in the Secret Place is:
to live in the midst of our Heavenly Father’s heart /Samekh, trusting fully in His Covenant /Tav Word
and trusting that He is Head/ Resh over all.
His covenant covers us with promises of protection, because He loves us.
David wrote:
One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock. Psalm 27:4-5
Oh, how great is Your goodness,
Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who trust in You
In the presence of the sons of men!
You shall hide them in the Secret Place of Your presence
From the plots of man;
You shall keep themsecretly in a pavilion
From the strife of tongues. Psalm 31:19-20
Our Heavenly Father will keep us in the
secret place,
away from the strife of tongues.
These days everywhere we turn there is a contention/strife stirred up by things that are spoken surely we need a secret place right now?
The secret place
is a place of quiet, inside our souls, a place to rest in Him completely.
A secret place
is not just a stopping place or a place to run to in times of chaos and danger,
but a place to live, to abide, to dwell.
The secret place is IN Him, where we are to live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28
Outside of this place is chaos, confusion, fear and dread. which is the opposite of shalom/peace.
The secret place is the place to be, whether we are running from the enemy or not; and we can live there ALL of the time It’s a personal choice to remain in Him.
By putting the two phrases together we see that: He who Dwells – is one who has made the choice to live permanently in our Heavenly Father’s house; trusting in Him and honoring His Word. There the individual will experience the reality of our Heavenly Father’s right hand of power covering them; and in His fiery zeal He will consume all that tries to keep or draw the individual away from dwelling.
So once more to recap.:
To dwell in the secret place is to
live in the midst of God’s heart, trusting fully in His Covenant Word and trusting that He is Head over all.
His covenant covers us with promises of protection because He loves us.
If we haven’t found the secret place yet, we must spend time asking His Holy Spirit to help us and by reading this psalm and other psalms, we can feed on the attributes of our Heavenly Father. The more we know Him, the more we will dwell in the secret place.
There are countless messages and many teachings on the power of our words and how what we sow in words, we reap physically, emotionally and spiritually.
It is critical to remember that what we say about our Heavenly Father is of utmost importance.
His word tells us that out of the abundance of our hearts our mouths speak, so, what we believe about our Heavenly Father is heard when we speak and it sets a course for our faith.
In Psalm 91:2David writes: I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust. What David believed, out of the abundance of his heart, he said.
Proverbs 18:21says that, Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. David was living in the secret place and wanted others to enter in and enjoy the benefits.
He is declaring what he discovered about the Lord when he says, I will SAY of the Lord…
The wordSAYin this verse is one of those familiar words:
I will say
is Strong’s #559.
omar
אֹמַ֗ר
Phonetic Spelling:aw-mar’
And it means:
to utter, to say, answer, consider, declare, publish, report, think.
What we say is what we get because there is power in our words, they are containers of life or death. Just as pebbles drop into water releasing ripples, our words release blessings or curses, freedom or bondage.
Why is it so important about saying or confessing something, isn’t it possible to just believe it inside without saying anything?
The Hebrew text points out that, in addition to vocalizing, the word say,refers to internal speech. 2 Samuel 13:32; Esther 6:6. and it also refers to what is being conveyed by a person’s actions along with their words.
Exodus 2:14; 2 Chronicles 28:13.
The Hebrew letters for the word
say are:
אֹמַ֗ר
aleph/alef mem resh.
אֹ
ALEPH/ALEF 1 = God – Echad –
Unity, Unique – no other like it.
Picture: Ox head
Meaning: Strength or Leader, Most Important, First – The Strength and Power of the leader.
מַ֗
MEM 40 = Trial, Testing, Tribulation.
Picture: Water
Meaning: Womb, Water from the womb, Cleansing water, flowing water that brings life, Mighty, Massive Chaos, Humility, taking the low place, hidden relationship with God, Cleansing water, flowing water that brings life.
Resh 200 = Insufficiency, Poverty.
Picture: Head
Meaning: Head, Chief, Beginning, Highest, Most Important, a Person, Human Reasoning vs. Obedience. When we allow human reasoning/common sense, to be our master, our head, poverty of the Spirit results.
What we SAY, releases Aleph – God’s strength and power. In humility we are declaring our Mem- hidden relationship with Him. It transforms the circumstances of our testing, based on what we declare. What we say, reveals who, or what we believe to be the most important and worthy of our obedience – Resh.
In the secret place David discovered that Our Heavenly Father is Who He says He is, and by declaring Who He is, David consistently put himself in a position of trust. He kept his focus on the Lord God and he was not shaken by the circumstances around him, but instead he was rested, protected by Him, being free of stress and worry.
I will say of the LORD…
Our Heavenly Father wants to establish us in the secret place of His presence. He wants us to settle down and confidently trust in Him. Our focus and the choice of our words, what wesay, can enable or disable our ability to dwell.
When we are praying with other people and the prayers are focused on needs and people are crying out to our Heavenly Father for help, let’s ask Him to reveal Who He is in the midst of this circumstance; and begin saying/declaring those things in spoken prayer.
We could say for example:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are our help and that nothing is impossible with You. Thank You that Your name is above every name and You are Lord/Adonai over everything and every circumstance. You are our provider and all that we need is found in You. Thank You that when we ask according to Your will, You hear us and answer us. Father, intervene in this situation by bring about Your will and plan and purpose. You triumphed over the enemy at the calvary and You are exalted above all principalities and powers. Come now and show Yourself strong on our behalf because we place our trust in You in the wonderful Name of our Messiah Jesus Christ, Yeshua haMashiach.
These words redirect the focus of the prayer meeting from the problems to being centered on our Heavenly Father. Answers of salvation and deliverance will be released, not only for the specific situation being lifted up in prayer, but also for those seeking help, as It will build our faith and trust in Who He is.
Who do weSaythe LORD God is? What is the declaration coming from the abundance of our hearts? Is He truly on the throne of our lives and hearts? Is He known to us as our Heavenly Father, or is He still some far off untouchable, unreachable religious deity?
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide…”
Psalm 91:1
Abide is not really a common word we use today unless we are studying the Bible.
In John 15:4
Jesus/Yeshua gave a clear message:
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
The word abide here seems to indicate an invitation to stay. In Psalm 91:
ABIDE is
Strong’s #3885 and it is a primitive root.
In Hebrew,ABIDE is:
לוּן
luwn –
pronounced: loon;
or liyn –
pronounced: leen/luwn Phonetic Spelling:(loon)
ABIDE is defined as:
to stop (usually over night), to stay permanently, lie all night, (cause to) lodge (all night, in, -ing, this night), remain, or tarry.

The meaning of
To ABIDE is:
to permanently stay under God’s instruction and Authority, moving forward as He direct and when we do, our Father connects us with heaven, and manifests His life in and through us on earth.
Recall that He who dwells, is:
one who moves in permanently – trusting in God and obeying Him.
When he does, he will experience the activation of the Father’s hand of power, His Holy Spirit, consuming with His fire all that destroys or tries to invade, or keep us from His house.
ToABIDEpromises even more,by promising that He will teach us how to overcome our enemies by His power, and to keep them from invading our lives.
Build faith by readingJohn 15:4-6 again:
Abide in Me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine,
neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
I am the vine, you are the branches.
He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit;
for without Me you can do nothing.
If anyone does not abide in Me,
he is cast out as a branch and is withered;
and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
To abide, like the word dwell, means: we have to stay put in order to receive the full impact of the secret place.
Instead of going from conference to conference and from teaching to teaching in search of spiritual refreshment; we can settle down in the secret place, spend time with Him and allow Him to uncap the well of living water that will never dry up.
All that is needed is for us to make Him our priority and put time with Him first place in our day because to remain fruitful, we must abide, stay close to the source of that living water.
In John 15:7 Jesus promised that, if you abide in Me and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will and it shall be done for you.
He will answer in accordance with His will and His plan for us, because He knows what we need better than we do. During times of trial and the testing of our faith, the thing we most often need is to know is that He is with us, and that His perspective on our situation is the best for us. Instead of complaining and questioning why things are happening to us, we should ask how can we cooperate with You Father, for Your Will to be established in this situation?
The answer may come quickly, however it’s more likely to unfold as a step by step process as we continue to wait, are willing to listen, and obedient to apply His counsel and instructions.
In a world where the media can be overwhelming with reports of danger and cause fear, we can choose to listen and allow worry and panic to rule us, or we can go to the secret place of the Most High and learn to abide, trusting in His direction where we can dwell, abiding in peace/shalom. The choice is ours and Psalm 131:2 is another beautiful picture of this abiding: Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
Our souls include our minds, our will and our emotions…and in Hebrew thought, our bodies are also included so in abiding/dwelling, we will find complete peace/shalom.
When we choose to move into and remain in the secret place of the Most High, we become acquainted with the One Who is the source of every breath we breathe.
It won’t take us long to find out that only IN HIM do we live and move and have our being. If we are outside of Him and have not completely surrendered to Him, we are simply functioning on our own power, which is not going to have a happy ending.
The alarm is sounding and we all need to move in now and while there is still time, get to know the One who loves us more than His very life. In Him we have the source of all power, because all that is good is Him living in us.
Seek the lord while He may be found
and make certain the kingdom
in which you are dwelling is His…
because
…there is NO fence
only THE GATE!
Shalom, shalom mishpachah/family
and cheverim/friends!
It’s all about Life and Relationship,
NOT Religion.
You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.
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.
To what are we a witness and how do we become a witness?
The scripture says, Ye are My witnesses
What is a witness?
The dictionary definition is: One who testifies, who gives evidence, unfolds, clears up, makes plain, and helps men to right decisions in cases of disputed claims, or where personal integrity is assailed.
Witness means evidence
Witness means the person who testifies of things or of people.
A witness is something that is repeated over and over again.
Yochanan (John) 1:1-8 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
As a noun; an individual who, being present, personally sees or perceives a thing; a beholder, spectator, or eyewitness. a person or thing that affords evidence. a person who gives testimony, as in a court of law. a person who signs a document attesting the genuineness of its execution. Testimony or evidence: to bear witness to suffering.
This role of a witness was not to be taken lightly. (As noted in Exodus 20:16 there follows a warning for a false witness.)
In Greek Strong’s Greek: 3144. μάρτυς (martus – phonetic mar’-toos) an eye or ear witness
Matthew 18:16
Definition: a witness … testimony; specifically, a recorder, i.e. Prince — witness.
Of uncertain affinity; a witness (literally (judicially) or figuratively (genitive case)); by analogy, a “martyr” — martyr, record, witness.
Be a Witness
עֵד (ed)
μάρτυς (martus)
UNTO Me.
Jesus/Yeshua said …
“And ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
Fulfilling that which Isaiah 43:10 says
You are my witnesses, declares the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.
This expression is equivalent to that which occurs in the Book of Revelation (1:11),
‘I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last’ and it is remarkable that this language, which implies eternity, and is in the passage referred to is used in Isaiah to prove Gods’ divinity.
The paleo pictograph letters for the word
Ed – עֵד – witness,
are helpful in creating a better understanding of what a witness is in the Hebraic mindset.
Ayin Dalet
Ayin is the picture of the Eye: to see to know to experience
Dalet is the picture of the Door –meaning that it indicates a path, a way, a place of decision or an entrance to life or death.
The 2 pictures put together shows that a witness an עֵד – ed ,(eye-ed), UNTO the Lord, is the one who knows, or who has experienced Him and will now be a provision of the WAY and an entrance to Life/Chaim for others.
After this witness speaks and declares what God has told them, then the hearers will have to make a decision concerning what they have just heard. (Not making a decision is a decision in itself). This decision or lack of it will determine eternal destiny.
The Word cautions us that if we don’t enter in, by choosing to go through the Doorway/the Dalet; (Yeshua said He was the Dalet/Door in John 10:9); it is clearly revealed, (apocalypsed), in 14:6 there is no other WAY Derekh, to life/chaim with God.
Who is the witness in Isaiah and how and why is this witness chosen?
The answer is bāḥar.
The verb means, to choose, to elect, to decide for, but in almost every instance it includes the connotation that the choice is not random.
This is choosing for the purpose of serving.
The word is used to express that choosing; (which has ultimate and eternal significance), and being of service, rather than simply a random event, is at the heart of the choosing. Because God carefully chooses certain ones for a specific task, it is also in His power to reject them if they deviate from that purpose. I Sam 2:27.
This witness is a servant that was chosen by God.
Chosen in Hebrew is
Bachar
Strong’s Hebrew: 977.
בָּחַר (bachar) — to choose
A similar word in Strong’s Hebrew: 1069.
בָּכַר (bakar)
— to bear new fruit make firstborn, be firstling, bring forth first child new fruit . A primitive root; properly, to burst the womb, i.e. (causatively) bear or make early fruit (of woman or tree); also (as denominative from bikkuwr) to give the birthright — make firstborn, be firstling, bring forth first child (new fruit).
And the Greek word is:
ἐκλέκτος ‘eklektos’
meaning ‘Elect‘ or ‘Chosen‘
Strong’s 1588
Bachar is made up of 3 letters (remember no vowels)
it means: to select, examine, approve, to choose.
Isaiah says that God has approved of and selected certain servants who will faithfully declare that He is the one and only true God.
Bet/beyt, Chet and Reysh
bachyar (elect, chosen)
The Hebrew verb bahar means to choose, to pick, to take a keen look at. However, the pictograph is more revealing.
B H R
Bet-Chet-Resh
draws the picture of
house-fence-person.
(reading Right to Left.)
In other words,
separating the person from the household, dividing one person from the rest of the family.
If we recall Joshua’s words,
As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
Separation is the essence of choice.
To choose life, is to separate from all those pathways that lead to death.
To become obedient to Torah is to separate ourselves from the rest of the family of Man. Choice by definition, requires a distinction of division.
House in Bethlehem.
As Bahar paints the picture of:
the house that separates (fences) the person.
It connotes that which we make as a choice creates fences.
When we choose something, it then rejects or leaves other things. It is essential that lines must be drawn in our lives and with it doors must be closed.
The Hebraic idea of choice is ultimately the idea of separation. In God’s world and His Way we can’t have our cake and eat it too.
Choosing life automatically means rejecting death. Choosing God’s ways means forsaking all other ways because there is no middle ground, no gray area for in this decision, that would be a compromise.
This is the called apart /set apart / ecclesia, and the meaning of holiness.
It is interesting that an offshoot of the rootbhrdescribe young man, youth and chosen.
As Hebrew is not narcissistic, this is not referring to a longing for youth, but rather the recognition that young men are chosen for military service.
In Hebrew thinking strength and vigor are to be put into the serviceof others, not to become an idol of constant vanity.

Bet is the picture of the floor plan of house or tent
and is the 1st letter in Torah that identifies Jesus/Yeshua as the Son of God.
The letter Beyt identifies is a picture of the Son of God, because Beyt/Bet is in the Hebrew word for create which is bara (בָּרָא), and the Aramaic word for son is bar(בַּר).
If we separate the letters within the word for bara, we will have Bar and Aleph (בַּר א), which points to the Son of the Father (Aleph).
Chet is represented by the fence and describes a protected garden, private place, an inner room or a sanctuary…
(Here is a connection to Eden and we also saw this picture in the word Grace/Chen).
Reysh is the picture of a head; meaning the leader, master, or the PRINCE.
(Note the same word prince, used in the definition of witness earlier in post).
When these 3 are put together, it indicates that:
to be chosen/bakar, is:
to be invited by the master leader or prince to enter his tent/house.
This by definition, is also: inclusive of his family, which is in a protected place or sanctuary, like a protected garden, (Eden) or like a womb/the place of our hiding.
So whose house and family is it that the chosen/bakar is invited to enter?
The bakar is invited into the
family of the Son of God by the Prince,
who is
Jesus/Yeshua Himself;
The Sar Shalom the Prince of Peace.
Rev 3:2 also tells us more about who else can enter in Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
We also have to choose Him as written by John in chapter 1:12 13
When Jesus/Yeshua said …
“And ye shall be witnesses UNTO me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth”(Acts 1:8).
Read that one more time for He actually said,
you shall be
witnesses UNTO me
Note the word is UNTO and not FOR. It’s not what we do for Him of our choosing but what and with whom we are in relationship;andit is UNTO Him which includes obedience to His Will, plan and purposes. Many do things FOR the Lord, yet it may not necessarily be UNTO Him.
(It may have a bearing on the scripture?)
This makes a big difference to what His statement was meaning and also how we interpret it.
1:8 But ye shall receive power – and shall be witnesses to me – That is, ye shall be empowered to witness my Gospel, both by your preaching and suffering. Acts. 1:8 Ye shall receive power. Not temporal power, such as they dreamed of, but spiritual and moral power. Ye shall be witnesses UNTO me.
Young’s Literal Translation but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.’
King James Bible But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
This includes the Secret of Being a Sent One:
This is because He makes His disciples His very own possession, becoming responsible for them.
The desire that comes into a disciple is not one of doing anything FOR Jesus/Yeshua, but of simply being a perfect delight to Him.
The secret of being a sent one is truly being able to say, I am His, His alone; and He is accomplishing His work and His purposes through me. Not me, not mine, not myself, I am entirely His.
John 17:6 They were yours you gave them to Me..
1Corinthians 6:19 You are not your own….
To be able to say that I am not my own, requires reaching a high point in our spiritual maturity. A disciple, or those we call missionaries, really come under the function name of apostle, which simply means a sent one. It is not a title in itself but the description of a function within the body of Messiah.
An individual to whom this position of service refers, is someone in whom the Holy Spirit has brought about this realization. Those whom we call missionaries are those who are on His mission, sent ones with a purpose.
None of the disciples were sent out on the basis of what He had done for them. It was not until after His resurrection that they received the Holy Spirit, then they perceived who Jesus/Yeshua really was.
That’s when He said,
Now go.
Matthew 28:19; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8.
God always gives His servants power equal to the work He asks of them.
A disciple is not born,
a disciple is made
…molded, formed and then subjected to intense heat.
The Holy Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh, interprets and explains the nature of Jesus/Yeshua, so that we can be made one with Him.
He does not win us to Himself in order to just display us in some showcase as a trophy or for us to live a problem free and carefree life of luxury doing what we choose to do.
When we choose to answer His call, it is a life long one and that of total commitment.
It’s not something that we try to see if we like it and then if we don’t and its too uncomfortable, we choose not to continue.
It is covenant and as above means to select/choose the best!
A sent one, is someone who the Holy Spirit has brought to a point of clear understanding of 1Corinthians 6:19.
What this means in reality is, that to confess and fully believe, embracing such a statement, the true nature of such a life is only evidenced by a sovereign decision and a deliberate giving up of self to another person and that person is The Lord Jesus Christ/Yeshua haMashiach.
His hard sayings are so often refuted and the emotions of our souls will argue the seeming severity of such a statement, however, we belong to Him not to each other. He paid the ultimate price for us. Therefore, Luke 14:26 means what it says, as in a comparison to and an example of, our allegiance and commitment. This does not mean that these individuals cannot be good, upright and saved but it does mean we cannot be entirely His and therefore we cannot be someone over whom Jesus/Yeshua can write the word Mine.
In truth, any one of the relationships Jesus/Yeshua lists here, can compete with our relationship with Him, including ourselves. We have a free will to choose who we belong to, spouse, children, parents or just living the life we want to as a single person and He clearly says if this is the case, you cannot be My disciple, for we are not entirely His.
Is this then the meaning of Acts 1:8 you shall all be witnesses to me/UNTO me, not for Me.
Ye Shall be Witnesses UNTO Me.
In Hebraic thought, human consciousness comprises both a yetzer ha-ra and a yetzer ha-tov, an inclination for evil and an inclination for good.
Together, these seem to define the meaning of being created in the image and likeness of God? The human condition seems to exist in the tension between good and evil or, it could be said, between the tension of action on behalf of the self or on behalf of another. Every human action is a result of this tension.
A well known example of choosing is found in Deuteronomy 30:19-20
Here, Moses seems to have reflected this essential tension in his request for a decision.
I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so that you live, both you and your seed, to love YHWH your Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him . . .
Notice that he calls heaven and earth to be witnesses.
Moses’ appeal uses bahar in a verb tense that is active and complete, (qal is the perfect tense).
That means that we do it, we are not to wait for God to somehow either choose for us, or force us to choose. It is for us to decide and when we decide, the action is done, completed finished, terminated, comes to an end.
It is accomplished/finished, was Jesus/Yeshua’s declaration that the choice is complete and an ongoing present tense. This is how it must be for those who choose life.
The ever present enemy is in the wavering, the hesitation of double-mindedness, as James referred to it when he shows the double-mindedness of embracing one point of the Ten Commandments while breaking another point of this law of love. Notice that the breaking of one point of the law is the same as breaking the whole law
(James 2:10-11) For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Every person seems to have two heads. Humanity seems to be a world comprised of two-headed people. James called this double-mindedness. At times we think and act one way, and at other times we think and act another way; uncertainty and insincerity in the emotions and the mind lead to doubt, skepticism and fickleness where loyalty is divided.
God’s Word says that a double-minded man is unstable in all he does. (James 1:8)
No wonder old habits seem to hang on indefinitely in the life of a double-minded believer. Those old habits are simply the fruit of an unstable heart and mind.
When we reconsider over and over, it is not choice, but rather it is the failure to choose, and that failure has eternal consequences. Every human being has essential tension within them, animals do not have this, so if we don’t feel the tension in our lives, we may should examine ourselves?
Do we need to rethink our ideas of election, salvation, deliverance, predestination and sovereignty? Maybe we need to re-read John 9 and pay closer attention to the Messiah’s claim that the blind man’s condition was for a purpose, not a consequence.
Perhaps we are chosen because God has a purpose in mind. It appears that His choices are always based on His purposes; and the roles that each of us play, are determined by us choosing to fulfill that purpose.
bāḥar is at the heart of the Kingdom of the heavens. It is the word of divine sovereignty made evident in the lives of its’ citizens. Today is the day of His choosing us it is up to us to live accordingly.
Moses makes it clear that we cannot opt out without a risk to our humanity. We cannot sidestep the focal point of choosing without becoming someone controlled by mere animal-like instinct.
The essential part of being human is to continually decide between good and evil. Until we are no longer in this earthly realm there is no time off, no break from being human, only then all choosing will end.
The choices we make not only define us, it is probably one of the most powerful forces God created and placed in the earth. Because He did so, it makes the ability to choose a most important characteristic of our humanity.
The verb bahar is an ideal verb to describe being human. We are the sum of our choices and are where we are at any given point as a result of those choices, we exist in the interconnecting of those decisions.
Each and every choice we, or those which others make that affects us, results in a repositioning of our direction, so in a WAY we are always at the CROSSroads. A life of choosing obedience and going consistently in the same direction, is a life well-lived.
We are called to
‘follow Him along the narrow WAY’.
Is Proverbs 3.5 a choice? Trust in the LORD with all your heart.. It would seem that absolutely it is; and in whom are we to trust? The ONE who made it all, the ONE who formed and fashioned us when we were inside the womb.
The ONE who knows the end from the beginning, and the ONE who was crucified and made His choice to die in agony and shed His blood upon the tslav, the cross that we might have life and have it abundantly! (John 10.10; referring to things of the Spirit. )
As the days draw closer to His return, we need to draw ever closer to the one who died for us; through whose sacrificial death we are reunited with our heavenly Father and are forgiven of all that would separate us from His presence.
We are redeemed from a hopeless future.
The soft and comfortable messages will only soothe our emotions and make us feel good for a while. We need the truth of His Word spoken in love to keep us straight on the narrow Way which promises to bring us into life everlasting.
Let’s press in and become the ED עֵד ayd (eye-ed) witness choosing His Truth.
So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendents. Deuteronomy 30:19
Choose this day and choose Him- who is the Living Word of God.
Saved or not, please don’t leave this page without making a choice, for every choice is followed by what? A consequence. Good choices? – good consequences and the opposite is also true.
The consequence of obedience??? is always blessing..
Shalom, Shalom!
Please don’t leave this page without making a decision, today is the day of salvation, it does not say tomorrow is….
It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.
You are greatly loved and very precious in His sight.
He longs to give you the Shalom He paid the ultimate price for..
SIMPLY SAY THE FOLLOWING MEANING IT FROM YOUR HEART..don’t delay one more minute, SAY IT 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.
