Put people in your hearts. Love people out of your heart, not your limited love. Allow God’s love to fill your heart. This is unlimited. Change us inside out. The ending is very important. God has the final say in our lives. We have wonderful ending. Run this race with God’s power in our lives. Transform our lives and He gives us the conclusion in our lives. It is finished at the cross. We can receive all the blessings. Today we are going into the 12th Hebrew Letter.
Having Aleph in our lives. All that Jesus did, the door way, it is all done by Jesus. The 2nd part of our lives, how we are going to run this race.
The 12th Hebrew letter is Lamed
It is translated literally as learning and also staff or good. Lamed revealed in Psalms 119
The design of the lamed is two letters merged together, the vav and the kaf
Lamed -
To Learn and Teach God sees teaching and learning as very important.
It is located at the center of the aleph-beth and represents the heart Lev לב;
in kabbalah learning is mostly done with the heart and soul, not just the mind.
Central position of this letter and its exalted shape.
Tallest of all the letters, it goes above the line.
The Kabbalah says that the letter lamed is compared to a tower flying in the air.
Manifest the High regard to teaching and learning in biblical thinking
The Jewish people help their children associate learning with sweetness.
Jewish people teach their children by playing, putting the alphabets on blank paper and they also put a touch of real honey on the paper. The children will taste the honey after they learnt and teach them that learning is sweet.
Learning comes together with teaching.
Our lives are spirit lead. Operate this new spirit person. His manual is His words. Filled with the holy spirit and get revelation. Learn who God is and who you are in Christ. Born again in the spirit.
Learning is associated with sweetness
The word HEART in Hebrew is composed
of two letters, the Lamed and the Beyt
Lamed has to do with Aspiration of the heart
What the heart longs is to rise up and alleviate oneself to connect to God
An expression of this longing heart is seen in Prayer of gratitude to God
heart wants to go higher to draw close to God
The head don’t long for all these things. Is the heart that longs for. Is the desire and the longing.
If your heart is stirred up with longing and pleasure, it does not care whether you have enough intellectual
The world plays on your desire. This is where your heart is
A heart that longs for fellowship with God. To raise up and connect with God
After born again, our heart is new
The Lord gives us a new heart.
The Lord puts in our hearts that we want God and we want to learn the ways of God. Is an expression of the longing heart. Why there is such thing called prayer? Prayer is stirred in our hearts that we want to connect with God. Praying is connecting with God. Is a prayer unto God. God gives to us
A longing and fellowship
A new prayer language, praying in the spirit. We are now connecting with God with my new tongues
The world wants me to go higher and further from God
Our lives cannot be back and front, put our eyes fixed on Jesus
Learning must not solely be from intellect but must involve the heart.
Understanding heart or hearing heart
An artist admires a sparkling river
Thirsty and weary traveler will drink
Not just academic.
The bible becomes my bible. The Lord becomes my Lord
through difficulties we learn this
The greatest way to learn is to teach
Many become teachers because they want to learn from their innate love of learning.
Learn gods ways through prayer, meditation, torah..
In Torah - Understanding Heart - intellect and heart must come together
It is said that The greatest distance in the world is between the head and the heart.
Many times head intellect pulls one way and put feelings pull the other
Jesus said come and drink. Allow the Holy Spirit to fill you.
Learning comes from drinking. Be like the thirsty one. The ones who want to partake
The bible becomes MY Bible
The Lord becomes MY Lord
My YHVH
Teaching and preaching is for us to draw near to God and He becomes our personal God
Is He your very personal God
Lord and Master
YHVH. Jesus is God. He is our Master
DEUTERONOMY 4:1 AMP
“Now, O Israel, listen and pay attention to the statutes and the judgments (God’s legal decisions) which I am TEACHING you to do,
so that you may LIVE and go in and TAKE POSSESSION of the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, is GIVING you.
Like Lamed, look up to Jesus. He has every joy to help us. He wants us to drink and to come to Him
Many believers only come to God when they have problems, but God still don’t condemn.
Is inside every human being to want to learn
Learn through God’s way
The head and the heart must come together
The first thinking was corrupted
Intellect and the heart must come together
Lamed teaching will cause us to look up and not on earth. What is going up? Teaching! God gave to Moses at the Mount Sinai are all teaching
We are born again and we just want to please God because He wants to love us so much
Pleasing is to do what pleases them
What is wisdom? Wisdom is able to do what God’s say but not in lawful way.
We don’t go to church, we are the church
People come to us for wisdom and counselling. Where we get from? From God
Make what has been taught to your children
Gather the people to Me, that they may hear My Words

so that they may LEARN to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.’

We can see further than the average person.
Purpose - He shows us that the desire of the spirit within the heart.

The whole bible helps us to see beyond

Counsel with Godly wisdom, not worldly wisdom
All things will work together for good!
If it is inside your heart, it will come out naturally.
Something changes inside our heart
We need to learn. What is it that He will do for us. Learn the unforced rhythm of grace

“Are you tired?
Worn out?
Burned out on religion?
Come to me.
Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
LEARN the unforced rhythms of grace.

Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

LUKE 6:39-40 TPT
Jesus also quoted these proverbs: “What happens when a blind man pretends to guide another blind man?
They both stumble into a ditch!

He quoted a proverb: “‘Can a blind man guide a blind man?’ Wouldn’t they both end up in the ditch?

Don’t follow the teacher who ask you to look at yourself
