A place to share the word of the Lord Jesus Christ
This post is based on a personal word for someone recently, this is the generic version applicable to many of the next generation women of God. There are leaders raising up an Army of Deborahs, Jaels, and Esthers; especially Deborahs. This post is also related to a previous post regarding Jael.
Some of this word may apply to you or not; we trust that the part the Holy Spirit quickens what you need to hear. Continue reading “Raising a generation of Deborahs”
The name of the Lord is known theologically as the Tetragrammaton and consists of 4 Hebrew letters יהוה yod hey vav hey (right to left) and is usually transliterated into English as Jehovah, Yahweh, or YHWH. In this post we will look at the meaning of this name and also the meaning of the ancient Hebrew characters that name up the name of the Lord. Typically in some English translations of the bible the form LORD (all uppercase) is used to denote the name of God.
In Judaism the name of God is not usually written (other than the scriptures, i.e. the Torah) and is usually spoken or written as HaShem (The Name) or Adonai (The Lord) out of reverence for the Lord. The meaning of the word is “I am” or “I continue to be” or even more accurately “the self existent one”.
This also explains why some people write G-d for the Lord especially when written by Jewish people.

1 Corinthians 4:15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
Paul says something that is more true today than ever, we have many instructors (or mentors #1) but not many true Fathers (and Mothers) in the Church family. Continue reading “We need Fathers in the Church, not just instructors or mentors”
