Notes from Disc 1 of seeing God's grace in the Hebrew Language

Grace provokes people.

What pleases man? Preaching work because they feel like they've contributed and earned something.


But when you preach grace - that the undeserved received favour - all the colours come out.

Name of God -Yud Hei Vav Hei - Jehovah in English

In Hebrew, Yosef not Joseph... Y not J

Note 2 Hei

In the Hebrew letter, for every alphabet is a pic.

Aleph - ox
Beth- house
Gimmel - camel
Daled - Door

Hei - no one knows the pic, rabbi says it is a mystery... so they put window looks out to something,

Letters - numerical becoz Hebrew has no numbers. Alphabets all have numerical value. Every alphabet = musical note.

Hei - 5

Gimmel - 3

David's harp has 22 strings - alphabet of the Hebrew language

2 Heis = God is FULL of GRACE

Jn 1:16-17 - grace for grace... grace and truth came through Christ. Truth is on the side of grace not law.

In Hei all things were created - Jews

Hei = mystery = came through Christ = grace

Abram and Sarai needed a miracle to have a child. Natural means all failed.

God changed their names and within a year the miracle child came.

Vav - picture of hook or nail

grace nail grace hand of

opened hand of grace nailed in grace - that is the picture of Yahweh

Hei incidentally the number 5 - the number that biblicallhy represents Grace.
Yud represents the number of 10 - which represents the Law.

(An example of God removing 10 to put in 5 - Sarai to Sarah.)

Abram to Abraham (Gen 17:5) - God also gave His Hei to Abraham. Abram = exalted father, but not a blessing. Abraham = father of many, blessing to many.

Abraham = 5 letters (number of grace)
Abram = 4 letters (number of creation)

Abram formed of:
Aleph Beth - Abba (Father) + Beth Resh (Bar/ Son) + Mem (Water - Spirit of God moved above the Waters in Genesis) --> God the father, God the Son, Holy Spirit = Triune God

Grace = slow but sure; healthy, strong, eternal.

Many places can preach God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit = no miracle.... but when you put Grace between the Son and Holy Spirit - Woohoo! =D People see that God is gracious to them - unearned, unmerited, undeserved favour.

Jesus came to bring grace so we can have the holy spirit to be our helper.

Law does not grade on the curve, perfection or else.

The woman with issue of blood saw that Christ is full of grace so He saw her faith. Not for us to see our faith. For Christ to see our faith.

Have I seen Jesus lately? Jesus is the author and finisher of Faith.

God promised Abraham and Sarah for years, but the manifestation came when they saw grace.

Bless - Barak (Beth Resh = Son) -> there is no blessing without the Son + Cuff (Hand bend in blessing) --> pic of Son covering the head

What is He blessing with?

The Word Barak (not Barakah) only appears in Gen 14 for the first time!!

When we are a blessing - The Son's hand extended to bring us Grace

Jesus is Abraham's seed in which we are ALL blessed.

Isa 30:15 - returning = days of atonement (teshuvah - yom kippur)

Repent

1) Kahum

2) Shub

Repentace - Teshuvah

Shin Vav Beth (Shub) - returning to

Returning to what?

Returning to Hei = Repentance = Returning to Grace

Metanoya = Change your mind (Greek for Repentance)

God's way of repentance = deep and quiet --> change your mind happens when you are in church and listening to an anointed sermon.

Grace = stop trusting your efforts

You work because God gives us work for own fulfilment to express the talents He has given us. Job is to give satisfaction not a curse.

Success = grace given, God given.

When you are satisfied with your job, the Barakah flows.

Rapha (Heal) - Resh (Head/Leading Thought/ Leader), Pei (Mouth), Aleph (Sacrificial Ox - Christ)
--> Think of/ Meditate on the Sacrifice and Speak of the Sacrifice to receive Healing =D

Surely He has borne my diseases!
By His stripes I am healed.

You speak about it and think about it all day long.

Jehovah Rapha - The LORD that Heals

Mem (HS) in front of Rapha- healing

Rapha's root word = Raphah (Relax)

The root for healing is relax - Aleph change to Hei

Meditate, Speak about Grace = REST! =DD

Key to healing = relaxation

Hebrew root word for Rest = Naphas (to breathe)

That's why we call it take a breather...

Sick = Kala--> Het Lemet (largest letter in Heb alphabet) Hei

Lemet = learning

Het = Fence

Hei = Grace

Someone fenced from learning grace = SICK! ( ^.^ )

Bringing down the faulty fences to God's grace - Pastor preached before revelation of Kala =)

Natural - Work then Rest
Spiritual - Rest then Work

Kala = Choli comes from Kala

Lk 24:13-16

Emmaus - Hot Baths (the place literally has hot springs, but Jesus was going to give them Hot Baths in the Word... give them the secret of getting out of sadness, grief...seeing Christ in the Scriptures OT and NT)

Disciples' eyes restrained so cannot recognise Christ -

Foolish - lack of kg, dunno scripture

Slow of heart to believe - slow to believe the Word of Christ, know but cannot believe

When we attend bible study we must see Him in the Scriptures -> He shut their eyes so we can have the same hope they had, because at the end of the journey felt heartwarmed not because they saw Jesus in the flesh but saw Jesus in the Scriptures!!!

Jesus wanted them to see Him first in the bible.

So today we have the same equal oppy - we dun have to see Him with flesh eyes to be transformed. We see Him in the Bible, with Spirit eyes in the Word of Christ.

Fallen from Grace = actions, work, effort

Our part is to see we have no part but to see His part or we will come apart

2 Cor 3;18 - Beholding - we ae transformed by the same image we behold - glory to glory

As He is healthy at your right hand side, I am as well in this World. Jesus is my identity.

Our "Have To"s are our biggest hindrance to receiving the power of the HS in our lives!

Lowest form of sermon - what to do, what not to do. - other religions also teach same.

But we have Christ - that is what is different - GRACE!

Hagah - Meditate

Hei Gimel Hei - Grace - Camel (means of transport) - Grace

Joshua 1:8
John 1:16,17

When you meditate on grace, we receive grace inside of you.

Who Jesus is you are
What Jesus has you have
Your inheritance is Jesus

God sent Jesus to be us so that we might become Him - that is what it means to be in Him!

God does not look at us to assess us, He looks at Jesus to assess us.
