[Thanks Geraldine ! I am adding your notes here so that readers can have more to feed on ]
HOW YOU SEE JESUS IS HOW YOU WILL RECEIVE
Mark 6:1-6- Shows Mary had siblings. Did not remain a virgin.
V5-6 — v few healed becoz God ordained that if we honor Christ, He will honor us.
Yahweh-
Gen1:1 Elohim (Plural, Triune God, Creator) GOD
God said, called, made… No mention of Yahweh in Gen1.
LORD – Yahweh, self existing God, covenant God
Lord- Adonai
Gen2- v7 The LORD GOD (Yahweh Elohim) appeared with the creation of Man.
Yahweh is His name.
Elohim is what He does.
Eg. Joseph is Ps’s name. Pastor is what he does.
Yahweh saves
Gen 4- First time Eve gave birth. Yahweh only. Not Yahweh Elohim.
Gen 3- We see how devil works. Used Elohim in all his address to Adam and Eve. Cannot say Yahweh.
Celebrities thank God in their speeches but doesn’t mean thanking same God.
The spirit in this world this day is Anti-Christ not anti-God.
When Olivia Lum won the award for Female Entrepreneur of the Year in Monte Carlo, Tan Sri Francis Yeo was there, she said “I want to thank my LORD, Jesus Christ.”
It is the name of Jesus, not the name of God that has power.
The serpent only said The Creator and never The Lord. No intimacy. Intimacy only comes w the name of Yahweh.
How u address God is how u will receive from Him.
Matthew 26:21-22
See V22- each of them asked “LORD is it I?”
V 25- Judas called Him Rabbi, not LORD.
He saw Jesus as a teacher and not as someone to feed from. Feed first then can learn and exp miracles.
As a youth, David was already man after God’s own heart. At age 17, when he was before Goliath,”— 1 Sam 17:46-47
All the Earth will know there is an Elohim in Israel. Allthe earth can understand there is Elohim.
All the congregation will know Yahweh… For the battle is the LORD’s.
Careful demarcation. Earth knows God. But David says those who see goliath fall will know YAHWEH and stop fighting because the LORD takes care of them.
Exo 6:2-3
See v3- Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were more familiar with the name God Almighty than with the name, God Saves.
2Chron 26:5 – AS LONG as he sought YAHWEH…GOD SAVES, Elohim prospered him.
Yahweh and Elohim are the same BUT the name Elohim is the hand of God. Yahweh heart of God. His hand will move when the heart is moved. Jesus had compassion them stretch forth hand to heal the sick. When u love someone, u get to know his heart first.
yah- yehyeh – He will be
Hei- Hoveh- being
Hahyah – He was
See Heb13:8
I am that I am – A blank cheque. Fullness of grace and goodness.
Yah – God Saves
Gen 1:3
Owr- light
Yhiy- Yud and Hei – Let there be (very first words is His name. Through His name all is created)
Rev 1:4- Jews who read Rev will know ref to Yahweh. Jesus can reach out to ur past and change it. Jesus reached into Rahab’s past and changed her future. She went from prostitute to David’s ancestor and from David’s line came Jesus.
He reaches into your past to change what you were to reflect who He is.
Yud- open hand
Hei- revelation (open window), fifth letter : grace… Revelation of Grace
Vav- Nail or peg for hanging things…. With (conjunction) connection
Hei- Grace
Open hand of grace nailed in grace
Open hand revealing grace with grace
When things are crumbling, ask God to breathe (Hei) and there will be restoration.
John 8:56-59
See v 58
Isaiah 40 – prepare the way of Yahweh (John the baptist quoted).
Jn18:5- I AM ( “he” is in italics. Not in orig)
Who is capturing who? He could have pinned them down easily if not because He was on His way to offer His life for ours.
If I know whose stripes, I am healed. Not just a good man’s stripes… Jesus’s stripes.
Matt 14:27 (AMP) – “Take courage. I AM.”
When tomorrow comes, next week comes I AM and I still AM.
Rev 22:13- I AM Aleph Tav (letters, what He said), Beginning and the End (what He did), the First and Last (who He is).
Ur doc doesn’t have final word, He does. What He says is first and what He says is last.
He will complete what He began.
If we put Him first, our marriage/ projects/ etc begins in Him and will be complete in Him.
We need to walk with Him first. Our first and last thought.
How does the LORD see me? Righteousness of God in Christ.
Yeshua Hanazarei Vemelekh Hayhudim
Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews
Don’t always use Jesus. Nothing wrong to use His name. Let’s also remember He is also LORD. Yahweh. Important to remind yourself that Jesus is LORD.
If He allows His body to be striped for me, how can I not be healed?
