HOW GOD SPELLS FRUIT…

4 Comments

Pronounced “puh-ree”... short, quick, “puh” on the 1st syllable, with the emphasis on the second syllable, “ree.”

The 4th time GOD used the word fruit in scripture, this is what He said, “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Genesis 1:28

The Hebrew word for “fruitful” in this verse is “pah-rah”, which is the root word of puh-ree (fruit).

The Hebrew Language is built upon a root word system. This means that you always want to take a look at the root word in Hebrew because their meaning carries weight in every word that emerges from them.

So, let’s look at the root word for fruit...

Let’s look at each letter in pah-rah closely….

The first letter in pah-rah is the Hebrew Letter pei, which of course equates to our letter P.

The letter pei represents our power of speech; the power to create with our words. Anything that you have ever set a goal for in your life, began with the words you spoke… pei is your spoken word!

Just as GOD created the world with His spoken Word, so do you! What have you called forth with your words?

The words you speak into the atmosphere contain the elements of life or death. Example, our prayer impart spiritual strength to ourselves and others. Our words, if negative, hateful, or wicked, impart death or destruction. We either build up or tear down with our words.

When GOD created a word to represent the essence of fruit, He began with the letter pei, because it all begins with what we say.

Fruit is not just something that grows from a seed and that we eat and consume with our mouth. Fruit is a product of the seeds that we produce with our words. Words that we speak and words that we consume with our mouths.

And there’s more…

The pei being components of the kaf (an open hand in order to take or receive something, to cover, allow, anoint) and the yod (the right hand to give something, humility, work, hand, a divine point of energy) means that if we were using our pet (mouth) correctly… in its GOD given purpose, we would open our mouths to speak and pull down the Glory of GOD!

The kaf takes, the yod gives. The symbolism of kaf and yod together (which form the letter pei) is a picture of, taking in order to give.

Being blessed to be a blessing implies giving as you receive. There’s a connection here. When the kaf is open to receive the anointing, then the kaf (which is a component of the pei), can pour and speak virtue into the world.

We could use the power of speech, our very voices, to connect Heaven to Earth. If we wanted to.

Our words could be dedicated to the purpose of lifting up, edifying and building up the Body of Christ and the world.

The pei in fruit, is teaching us that the ability to bear fruit begins with what we open our mouth to say!

The 2nd letter in pah-rah is the reish... Our English letter- R

So, let’s sum up pei as Divine Speech, using your voice for good!

Which is connected to the reish, a person walking in their rightful place of Headship, Kingship, Servanthood/Leadership.

Reish/Rosh means Head. The one that has journeyed through the levels of spiritual maturity and arrived to their place and position of Headship/Leadership, Kingship!

The Rosh knows who they are in the Kingdom of Heaven – here on Earth. They call those things that be not as though they are. They live in the “Already Been Done” space in time. They see the giants in the land and are undeterred. After all, they are nothing but giants.

The Rosh decrees and declares a thing and expects signs following. They understand dominion, power and authority in Jesus Name.

Can you see why the Word “fruit” in Hebrew has to be spelled with the letter rosh?

We now have a picture of a mouth that speaks with authority, in the position of Kingship, as an Ambassador of Christ, or a Child of GOD.

And what does the Rosh Speak of?

Let’s Look…

The 3rd letter in pah-rah is the hei... Our English letter- H

What comes out of the voice of the Reish?

A letter hei.

GOD does not get us in a headlock. We can chose Him or not. It’s a choice. The hei represents and paints a picture of freedom to come in or go out. Hei is our window to the Torah.

Hei provides access to hide and abide. Or, we can look in and leave if we want to. We can choose revelation and light, or not. We can look into the window and choose to abide in the Word or we can abide in the world. It’s a choice.

The word for fruit in Hebrew ends with a choice.

In the last post, HOW GOD SPELLS FIRE, I taught you that when the letter hei appears at the end of a word it means, “What comes out of.”

But, it can also be understood as a directional indicator.

Now the word picture of pah-rah expands… we now have a picture of a mouth that speaks with authority, Kingship; As an Ambassador of Christ, a Child of GOD who leads through their words, their speech, their voice to those things that are above and not beneath.

The Reish points you to revelation, insight… they point you to the Word of GOD.

Pah-rah is a voice that leads you to the dalet—the door so that you can behold the yod—the world to come.

The Voice of the Reish brings you to the Word, the Light of GOD.

Now, here’s what I like about fruit…

GOD said, “Bring forth fruit”…

GOD’s Word contains so much prophetic content… there is so much meaning embedded in the words and the letters themselves that increase the light on the message they are assembled to convey!

The Strong’s definitions can only take us so far… we have to look beyond. We need the spiritual definition of words not just the literal. The literal can only take us so far.

The letters – al by themselves- communicate rich spiritual content.

The letters connect the dots…

The ENTIRE Book of Scripture is Spiritual and Every Letter of the Torah has the Power to Create!

What will you create today?

THE NEXT TIME YOU COME ACROSS A PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE IN WHCH GOD IS SPEAKING OF YOU AND YOUR ABILITY TO PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT…

REMEMBER: It’s the voice of the rosh that connects to Heaven and bears much fruit!

And your fruit shall remain.

AMEN.

P.S.

Because the Word of GOD is so meticulous and precise, you will find that GOD has many words for fruit… for instance, if speaking of a form of, edible produce, you can use the word tenubah (Strong’s 8570). In fact, there’s over 12 different words in Hebrew used in the context of ‘fruit’.

What I want you to learn from this is that pah-rah is completely different than tenubah.

Pah-rah is spiritual fruit. We can use our voices for good or for evil. The decision is ours. We can use our voices to pull down spiritual fruit and bless others, or we can use our voices for evil and unrighteousness.

What kind of fruit, will you produce?

HOW GOD SPELLS FIRE…

6 Comments

Time moved so quickly in our last class that I wanted to make certain that you received the full message regarding the essential elements of GOD’s Fire…. I hope this helps you review the presentation thoroughly.

GOD BLESS…

The Message Begins with The aleph

The Hebrew aleph is the First letter in the Hebrew Alphabet and the first letter in the Name of GOD, Elohim.

אלהים

The aleph is composed of 2 Hebrew letters; 1 vav and 2 yods. The Hebrew Letter vav is at the center. It is drawn in a slant representing the division between the upper waters and the lower waters… the upper firmament and the lower firmament.

The letter yod rests on either side. On the right, the yod emerges from the stem of the vav and reaches up toward the Heavens. On the left, the yod emerges from the stem of the vav and reaches down into the earth.

On every level, the aleph points to a picture of our relationship with GOD.

The letter vav is the 6th letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. It represents the nail that connects. In Ancient Paleo Hebrew, the vav took its shape from the tent peg, i.e., the hook that held down the sides of the tent. Across time, in man’s desire to make writing more efficient, the vav was formed from the framework of the image of its left side.

The first appearance of the vav in the torah can be found in Genesis 1:1, where the vav connects with the aleph-tav, Yeshua (Rev 1:8, 22:13, etc).

Being that the vav is the 6th letter of the alphabet, it is associated with man/mankind by virtue of the parallels and connections that the vav has with man in scripture; man creation on the sixth day, man works for six days, man as the finished work of GOD on the sixth day, etc.

The number six and the letter vav are connected to the works of man. The most dominant meaning that they contain are of their connection and relationship with GOD. Whether it is for good or for evil. With this point in mind, the vav, i.e. man, either connects to the image of GOD or the image of the beast (the flesh). There’s a choice to be made.

When you look at the aleph, I want you to see the image of the yod, the humblest of all the letters which represents mankind, the vav, in their responsibility to pull down the Heavens… to pull the Anointing down into the earth realm.

The Letter shin

…is the 21st letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. It represents the menorah, fire and transformation.

The letter shin connects us back to the shabbat, the light, and the All Consuming Fire of GOD.

GOD’s language places the letters aleph and shin together to spell, aysh meaning FIRE!

The LORD is an All Consuming Fire!

“And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire (aysh): and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.” Exodus 19:18

“And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire (aysh) out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.” Exodus 3:2

 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire (aysh), to give them light; to go by day and night: Exodus 13:21

 “…And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire (aysh), let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.” 1 Kings 18:24

He is the GOD that answers by Fire!

There are a total of 17 times that man is called “ah-dahm” (Strong’s # 121) before we see a shift in terminology.

Ah-dahm is a bit more neutral in terms and would be better understood in scripture had the translators chosen to apply the meaning of, “human or human being.” (I will followup to leave a link down below for a discussion on this matter.)

Nevertheless…

Once ah-dahm takes a wife, GOD elevates him in the Word to the level of an “eesh”, His Highest Creation!

Ah-dahm’s transformation to an “eesh”, does not take place until he takes a wife, an eesh-shah. There are precisely a total of 17 occurrences of the word ah-dahm before his new name, eesh ever appears.

This is an important point to reflect on for a moment…

The number 17 is comprised of the numbers 10 and 7.

10 represents Atonement and 7 represents the shabbat rest, spiritual perfection, wholeness and completion, the Feast Days.

In scripture, the number 17 is connected to victory.

GOD, Our All Consuming Fire, takes a yod, the smallest letter in the Hebrew Alephbet, the symbol of humility, and He places it in the midst His Image and Likeness as Fire… and ah-dahm becomes an eesh.

Following in the context, we see that the one whom GOD calls a man, must possess the character trait of humility in order to stand before the Fire of GOD.

The letter yod represents humility, humbleness, yieldedness. When man/mankind, who is created in the image and likeness of GOD (as an eesh), humbles himself before GOD, He is crowned the “eesh”.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

How then does GOD create an eesh-shah?

The letter hei represents Torah, Revelation, the Breath of GOD, Grace and the Presence of GOD. The number five in Hebrew also represents being filled with the Spirit of GOD.

Look again at verse 23 in Genesis 2. The scripture says, “…because she was taken out of man.” When the letter hei appears at the end of a word, it often expresses the understanding in translation as, “What comes out of…”

Example: When the letter hei is placed at the end of the word ah-dahm, a new word is created, ah-dahm-mah.

ah-dah-mah does not only mean earth, ground or dirt. It carries an expanded meaning of, “What comes out of the ground.”

Likewise, eesh-shah has the extended meaning and understanding of, ‘What comes out of ah-dahm’.

Hebrew is such a meticulous language that not only do the letters convey images, concepts and ideas, etc., into the words they are used to create, the meanings of the words and letters are defined by the Torah itself! One reflects the other.

GOD’s WORD is One.

Now let’s look at MAN and WOMAN, eesh and eesh-shah, side by side!

As you have seen, when man and woman are operating in their place and position in GOD, one carries the yod and the other carries the hei…

The grand design as seen in the letters of their names, eesh and eesh-shah, is that together… they carry the Name of GOD between them.

Now… What if the woman, the eesh-shah does not want to operate in her GOD Given capacity of the hei?

What if the man, the eesh does not want to operate in his anointing of the yod?

Her fire would gravitate to its destructive qualities and devour his ability to operate in the anointing without, coming against her fire turned against him; backlash, retaliation, resentment, trials, or test, etc soon follow.

Or if her mate, became unsuitable for the same reasons and her ability to operate in the anointing was compromised by the destructive fire that would emanate from his rejection and rebellion against his duties and responsibilities in the anointing?

You just have fire consuming fire and destroying everything in its path.

Both are consumed by their own destructive properties of the fire!

EXODUS 20: 18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

Moses understood that GOD is a consuming Fire, as it is said: “For the LORD thy GOD is a Devouring Fire” (Deut 4:24) that it would have been normal for him to have been consumed by the fire.

But Moses knew something else... he understood the prophetic meaning of GOD’s commandment that the fire should be kept burning on the altar continually (Lev 6:13-14). He recognized that GOD was not only speaking of literal and material wood being kept on the fire, but it meant him, as a Man of GOD to never let the Fire of GOD die out in his spirit.

Moses was able to draw near to GOD, when all the others were afraid, because Moses ascended for GOD’s Glory, not for his own.

None of self was in him. All he wanted was the yod – to bring GOD’s Glory down into the Earth.

“Is not My Word like fire, says the LORD” Jeremiah 23:29.

“This tells us that just as fire does not ignite in a lone stick of wood but in a pile of kindling, so too matters of Torah are not retained and understood by a lone scholar who studies by himself, but by a group of Sages.” The Significance of Fire in Judaism by Jessica Zemble

Eesh and eesh-shah received the law that was given them from the midst of the Fire of GOD.

You are fashioned from the Fire of GOD. When GOD named you man, and when he named you woman, He fashioned the very Words from His Fire!

No one can call you Man or Woman without knowingly or unknowingly calling to you, the very substance of which you are embued… The Fire of GOD. What I mean by that is this…. even your enemies are calling you the vessel of the Fire of GOD. So, it really doesn’t matter what your enemies say about you! To speak ill of you, they have to address you as the image and likeness of GOD. Their words can not breakthrough the barrier of fire, His Fire, set round about you!

This is another reason that we should have pity on our enemies and bless those that curse us and pray for those that despitefully use us… They are seriously playing with Fire! Rather than be angry, we should be concerned for their souls! Amen?

In the final analysis, Man and Woman, husband and wife are called to walk together in humility, honor, and power in the Presence of GOD.

Keep the Fire of GOD burning on the altar of your heart, continually…

Never Let The Fire Go Out. Amen.

ALEPH TAV

THAT’S NOT WHAT THAT SAYS…

This message is for my students who say that they want a higher level. Those who say, that they are ready for strong meat.

If that’s true, then you have to be ready to unlearn quite a few things that you already thought you knew. One tool and method that will be invaluable to you is to master the use of an Interlinear and see what the verse actually says. Case in Point:

REMINDER: This is just ‘pshat level. Literal interpretation only. Nothing deep or investigatory. Yet, on a basic level, we should have known this as 3 year old in Summer Bible Camp. This is a huge. This verse alone, should shift many paradigms.

Begin with Biblehub.com; Mark 11:22 The translation begins with “theou” and reads “from GOD”. Look past that for a moment and note the abbreviation for the parts of speech. ‘N-GMS’ is telling us that ‘theou’ is a Noun in the Genitive Masculine Singular, which means it is a masc, sg, possessive Noun and here it is rendered as “from GOD.”

Having faith from GOD and having the faith of GOD are two different matters. Both are a few levels above, “…having faith in GOD (KJV).” Having faith from GOD is a gift ( which I don’t think we would argue that it isn’t). Having the faith of GOD would place us at a great advantage. If we had known the expectation was to operate at such a level, understood scripture that way from the beginning and applied it to our lives daily, we would be advanced indeed.

Having the Faith of GOD… is a Completely Different Conversation

But let’s look beneath the surface a bit more and find out just what the Genitive case tell us: Genitive shows possession (although some scholars separate out possession from genitive, and define it as two separate forms. I do not. While the genitive case is not ‘always’ about possession, it is about ‘belonging to.’

That being the case, we can understand Mark 11:22 as Jesus compelling us to have the type of faith that GOD has, or to have the same level of faith as GOD. To operate in His level of Faith, just as we have learned to operate in His strength and not our own, in His ways, in His Will and not our own. We learn from Jesus to operate in GOD’s Faith and not our own.

Having faith in GOD, is sweet, but it’s operating with milk. Having the faith of GOD… that requires grit… i.e. strong meat. Ref: Hebrews 5:11-14

Jesus is offering strong meat.

Related: Prayer Journal Pages

2 Bibles that render this passage, “… Have the faith of GOD” are Douay Rhimes Bible (1582) and Young’s Literal Bible (1862).

Compare: Galatians 2:16 “But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ...” (both Douay Rhimes Bible and KJV). We are justified by the Faith “of” Christ, as in like manner we are to have the Faith “of” GOD.

Consider a point beyond the letter and the linguistics for a moment. Beyond all the covenants, conditions and restrictions of language, there are a few spiritual… more weightier matters to convey.

In this teaching, the limits have been lifted.


You can reach for the attribute of operating in the faith of GOD, or having faith in GOD. It’s a choice. Either is possible, yet both are not comfortable. One requires you to stretch and the other requires no action whatsoever. The existing ‘believer’ can stay well within their current comfort zone, stay completely as they are. If you hear the call to have the faith of GOD, something more is required of you.


Christ is entering Jerusalem and into the temple. The next day He moves on to Bethany and is now hungry. He sees a fig tree with leaves and no fruit. Fig trees produce fruit before the leaves open. So this particular fig tree is signaling abundance where none actually exist. The fig tree is operating against its own purpose in creation, against its own nature. It’s living in defiance to its own creation and purpose. Jesus says to the tree, “No man eat fruit of thee hereafter, forever”. In other words, “You don’t get to do your own thing, and cast off the Word of GOD in shear disobedience”.

The fig tree shrivels up and dies and the next day Peter notices the overnight change due to the LORDs Words, and ask how this is possible. The Messiah responds, “Have the faith of GOD.”

We could stop at the boundary of having faith in God, or we can proceed to the level of having the faith of GOD. Not just believing in the authority of GOD, but speaking in the authority of GOD.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God…” Amen.

In the overall context of Mark 11, Jesus empowered the disciples to operate in Kingdom Authority.

ALEPH TAV, WORD STUDIES

Who Shall Be Given Discernment?

Ref: Biblehub.com : Isaiah 28:9

Ref: Biblehub.com: Isaiah 28:9

SIDEBAR:

A few places in Scripture where GOD stated His Name and Identity as the aleph tav. There are plainly stated clues in the English translations that we are familiar with, but without seeing the messages from the Hebrew or recognizing the Hebraisms or idioms, they can be completely overlooked, therefore remaining hidden. Some of you have had the benefit of examining Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 word for word in previous classes, some have not. Until you each have covered the verses below in class, please make note of them now.

Gen 1:1. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep…”

John 1:1. “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. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. …”

Exodus 3:15. “And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”

Once we place Jesus back into His Jewish language, heritage and culture, we can see that He would not have referred to Himself as the alpha and omega, this is a Greek expression referring to, “the beginning and the end, the first and the last” regarding the Greek Alphabet, stated from a Greek perspective. Jesus, being Jewish would have actually called Himself the aleph and the tav. Referring to the 1st and last letter of the Hebrew alephbet, not the 1st and last letter of the Greek.

Case in Point: No matter what country you hail from or what your native language is, you still know your own name and communicate it as such, in your own language. Granted the 21st century could be an exception to that commonality, but we are reading 1st century material and have to understand it from a 1st century context. Translations changed the meaning and understanding of the message over time.

*2021 years later, In all the places where our scriptures replace aleph tav with alpha and omega, we should be willing by now to put it back, at least mentally and spiritually. This is just another small step we have to take in order to place Jesus back into His Jewish context.

Rev 22:13. “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”

Rev 1:11. “Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.”

Rev 21:6. “And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.”

Rev 22:13. “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”

Let’s continue…

Ref: Biblehub.com: Isaiah 28:10

*Figuratively speaking.

RESOURCES: All Interlinear Bibles indicate the location of the aleph tav throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. It has also come to my attention that a “healthy excerpt “ from The Messianic Aleph Tav Interlinear Scriptures (MATIS) has been placed on line by it’s author, William H. Sanford. If you would like to learn more about the aleph tav after reading this brief teaching, please access the link to this resource. I received this book as a gift in 2014 and it is the only Interlinear I know of to date, that focuses attention on highlighting and expounding upon the meaning of the aleph tav in scripture to such an extensive degree.
