It was certain to happen after years of going back and forth between words in the Strong's Concordance and Hebrew Lexicon. I am studying Hebrew. And, boom, I have LIFE now because I understand this one verse from the wisdom Scriptures that YHVH gave me to meditate on in 2010.
Proverbs 18:20 (KJV) A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
From studying Learn Biblical Hebrew, I learned that navi was the word for prophet, and it made me think that James Cameron, creator of the movie Avatar must be Jewish, but he claims no religion...sure...
My understanding is fruitful of this verse now because of the website Jew FAQ the page about the word navi shared this bit of information about a root word:
"The Hebrew word for a prophet, navi
(Nun-Beit-Yod-Alef) comes from the term niv
sefatayim meaning "fruit of the lips," which emphasizes the prophet's role as a
speaker."
Fruit of the lips? Where had I seen that phrase before? My mind went to Proverbs 18:20, which as not exact, but I see it again in other verses, and I am certain the intent was the same in Proverbs 18:20.
Proverbs 13:2 (NIV) From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things, but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.
Proverbs 12:14 (NIV) From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things, and the work of their hands brings them reward.
Read the other translations of those verses; it's good food for the soul. I meditate on faithfulness because of Proverbs 13:2. Recently, I was listening to the audio series Spirit Driven Success by Dani Johnson again and she spoke of being unfaithful to one's business. The curse more is not being faithful to one's vision.
For: "Without a prophetic vision, the people throw off all restraint; but he who keeps Torah is happy." (Complete Jewish Bible, Proverbs 29:18)
Again: "Where there is no chazon (prophetic vision), the people cast off restaint [i.e., perish ungovernable], but he that is shomer over the torah, happy is he. (Orthodox Jewish Bible, Proverbs 29:18)
And, finally: "When
prophecy faileth, the people shall be destroyed; but he that keepeth
the law, is blessed (but he who obeyeth the Law, is blessed)." (Wycliffe Bible, Proverbs 29:18)
May the Word of the LORD sustain us. Made meditating on His Word be our delight that we may have abundant life.

Proverbs 18:20 - The Navi
Thursday, January 15, 2015
God and Mammon
So, God reveals that there is only the god of Mammon and the One True God. The God of Mammon is revealed in many deities we’ve invented as a means to satisfy our good pleasure. The God of the Universe, the Creator, Yahweh, is revealed in all things, especially our hearts. He is the essential producer. His ways endure forever. Money is an illusion and fleeting (Proverbs 23:5).
MAMMON
I remember being told by Rabbi Randi Lechner that serving mammon was choosing the same thing that Esau did when he traded his birthright for some soup. While the connection is not readily seen, it is tied to all forms of idolatry. Instead of serving God by keeping his commands about how to treat the land and what to eat and other things, we choose our own ways and perhaps end up infertile and sick. Then, we turn to pagan worship of trees of gods we make up to "bless us with fertility."
Mammon has been translated as money, but Rabbi Lechner called it "the god of our bellies."
THE TRUE GOD
I have to write about this subject because the Spirit has opened my eyes about this. Yahweh, the One True God, is High King of Heaven. We pray, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven, and we pretend that we are stewards in His Kingdom.
While sitting under the teachings of a rabbi during Rosh Hashanah a few months back, I learned that Rosh Hashanah, the biblical new yea,r had a special significance that I did not know of before. It is one of the Feasts of God to which the males were to bring special offerings. The rabbi shared that it is a type of coronation ceremony in which we as believers are to bring our offerings and let Him know that we choose Him for another year as our King.
It was through this teaching that I saw the correlation to tithing. As "loyal subjects" or stewards in the Kingdom of God, tithing is much like paying tribute to our Ruler. Now, for those that would rather not, and have certain claims such as sons and daughters of the King don't pay tribute, help yourself. All I know is, when I was ascribing to this teaching of "just give from your heart." My financial life was a mess.
But, now, that I have been obedient in love for my King by tithing and giving special offerings, He gives me wisdom on how to earn more; He blesses my businesses with increase, and, I prosper as I give. In short, if we follow the instructions He left for us, I mean just short of slaughtering animals and stoning people to death, we have complete and blessed lives. And, because we have demonstrated that we are truly trusting in Him as King, He puts a hedge of protection around everything we have and rebukes the devourer (of finances, friendships, sanity, health...).
Praise God.

The 7 Year Great Tribulation Nearly Here: Real Current Events
Now, I am going to do my best to compile together everything that I have been hearing and seeing over the last two weeks regarding end time prophecy or the last days, and the video at the end is a culmination.
I believe that I have share the Daniel's Timeline Video.
I believe that I have shared Pastor Biltz's explanations of current events:
http://www.

And, I may or may not have mentioned the hoopla around the Prophecy of the Popes; which basically says that the pope that will take office after Pope Benedict is the very last before the destruction of Rome. The destruction of Rome (or the Hoar of Babylon as termed in the book of Revelation) just points to what many have been saying. We are indeed in the final hours of time or the last days before Christ's return.
Before I share this video which confirms what I have been feeling in the Spirit, I want to share what has occurred in me over the last few months. Some of you may have noticed a revival of blowing the shofars in worship, observing Jewish holy days (God's Biblical Feasts), and even wearing tallit during prayer.
What I sense has actually realized that this is a turning of the children back to the heart of the Father (Malachi 4:5-6). There are some "Gentile" Christians who realize the Jewish people have not been replaced with Christiandom. And, these also realize that God's plan was and is to use this nation to teach His ways. Yeshua went first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles.
I was a little perturbed with Sid Roth when I read a newsletter in which he stated that ministries that were not supporting Israel would dwindle in the next few years, even though I consider myself a Zionist. But, lately, I feel it. The aliyah (return of the Jewish people to Israel) is not only prophetic, but the blessed work of God, and shall we partner in this work, and revealing the Messiah to these people or focus on building Christiandom.
Christiandom (under the pope) will be brought to nought; this is certain, but how soon? Watch here:

James 2:17 - Bible Study
James 2:17 - What Does It Mean?
I had forgotten that I had written about this verse before. That was a good study about activating faith or bringing it to life by acting on it.Today the Holy Spirit showed me something else about this verse. I suppose it's just further explanation of what was poorly interpreted. (Or perhaps a well-to-do translator added on to it to make it fit their worldview).
So, there are two miracles where Yeshua (Jesus) multiplies loaves of bread and fish, and the Holy Spirit showed me that He thanked the Father and went straight to the motion of handing out the fish. He did not wait until He saw the fish multiply. He believed, and as He set forth to do what He believed God had provided for, the fish and bread multiplied.
FAITH - the evidence of things unseen.
If a person believes that he has what he's asked for, then he will be grateful to the father and then put other things in motion that depend on that thing being done.
For example, you have asked God to provide for a missions trip. You do not see everything in place, but you have asked in faith and believe it is done. So, would a person of faith wait until all the funds arrived and all the paperwork was finished to go? Or would a person of faith realize that God knew you needed His help before you asked, and just complete all the details concerning the trip right up until the day.
I heard Cathy Lechner tell a story about the Holy Spirit telling her to take a trip to a particular place and that the trip was paid for. She went to the airport without a ticket and gave them her name for the reservation to find that an "angel" had gone before her and paid for everything.
Yeshua (Jesus) gave the example. He even said he was praying aloud for the crowd's sake when he was about to raise Lazarus from death. If Cathy did not go to the airport, her faith would have been dead before the miracle showed up. And, so it is with you. When you pray and really believe that God has done what you asked "like He promised to do," then you will be full of thanksgiving and move on with the other actions that you can do.
Noah had faith that God was talking to him, and built a boat in the midst of laughter and scorn.
Peter walked on water because he had the faith to step out of the boat.
It would seem that faith or all the miracles we are looking for lay stillborn (dead) in the spirit realm, and we bring them to life when we believe with the eyes of our heart (faith in unseen) rather than our physical eyes (faith in the seen). Circumstances (creation) are always subject to the Creator (and He lives in you). How then can you fear and doubt if you really believe this?
Let's look at a direct translation...
I think that is basic difference between things that are alive and things that are dead. Live things move. Dead things cannot. Faith continues working itself out into reality, and without that effort to birth the thing from the invisible womb of creation it will die.
In short, those with real faith see a thing as done and complete before they ask and do not wait for the circumstances to change in order to believe and take action on what they requested.

Billy Graham Does Social Media Promotion
Billy Graham Does Social Media Promotion Through Google's Content Network
I could hardly believe it! There I was watching a stupid Kevjuma video when I saw this content add next to it telling me to "Take a STAND with BILLY GRAHAM."Being a marketer, I was like, "Surely people know that signing some petition saying that you have hope for America is pointless.
Then, I thought THIS IS GENIUS LIST BUILDING. You tap into people's nature of rallying behind a cause when emotions are high about certain states seceding from the union.
I know Billy Graham is not directly behind this. It's his brilliant team of marketers, but look at that. They want your name, email and mailing address, so they can hit you up for their future marketing campaigns. I was only compelled to push the button because I wish I had though of it first. Just kidding, that's not my M.O.; I teach. I inspire, and I lead the way.
If you want to hop on his campaign to save America go here and enter your information: http://secure.billygraham.org/stand-with-us/stand-with-us.aspx

Matthew 6:33 - Bible Study
I felt pressed by the Holy Spirit this morning to study this scripture for Matthew 6:33. What I'm finding is that we think that we have the teachings of Yeshua (Jesus), but a lot of it has been intentionally changed to keep the majority in darkness.
It is very likely that Matthew 6:33 is one of those scriptures. But, more importantly, from today, I'm beginning to think that any Bible or Bible commentary that you might find will still fall short if you do not know the original languages.
At first, I did not find anything interesting. I could not find anything in the Hebrew and Greek Lexicon. I couldn't even find the resource page I used to access all the time from Scripturetext.com; thank you Google.
But, then I visited http://www.peshitta.org/ and http://aramaicnewtestament.org/gospel/matthew_6.htm. I tried the Google translator tool since no translation was offered on the second website. The results are very interesting...
 |
| Peshitta Aramaic/English Interlinear New Testament: |
 |
| Direct Greek Translation: and first seek ye the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things were added unto you (Oddly enough, there were no alternate translations for "were added").
Was it an error in translation, as is common with the Google translator tool, or has something been lost in translation or intentionally changed by translators? I'm having trouble deciding. Do your study Bibles ever question the translations? In your daily devotional, you should.
Because the second translation is more exciting I wanted so share it. In light of who God is, the current faith training I have been going through, I believe that the translators must have thought that they needed to correct the tense in the sentence. But, they lost the original meaning.
Don't toil. Lilies don't toil. God has taken care of everything that you need already. He cares more for you than flowers.
