Pastor Deborah

Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

Original: יפה
Transliteration: YAPHEH
Phonetic: yaw-feh'
Strong's Definition: From H3302; beautiful:- + beautiful, beauty, comely, fair (-est, one), + goodly, pleasant, well.
The word Yapheh is spelled Yod, Pei, Hei.
The Yod speaks of setting one’s priorities straight, in other words to do justly, love kindness; walk humbly before your God (Micah 6:8).
God will adorn Himself with the good works that grow out of knowing Him and loving Him.
The next letter in the word for beauty is the Pei.
I hear the Pei calling me, do you hear it calling you?
It is calling me to speak words of purity and righteousness.
The Pei whispers to me to speak of the lovingkindness of God,
to speak the heart of God.
Fallen man cannot see God anymore so they made statues to worship, images of anything that we have desire to worship.
The yod is to do justice, walk humbly
You cannot speak what is in God's heart if you don't know Him intimately
A person who has touched God's heart and felt God's heart
Pei inside the mouth.
What is coming out of our mouth
There is creative power in the letter bet
The last letter in beauty is the Hei.
Ah the Hei, I hear it commanding me to listen to that still small voice.
It is in that still small voice that I will hear the message that I am to
speak and reflect in my behavior.
When I do, I may not be physically beautiful outside, but hopefully others
will see a beauty inside me, a beauty that is Jesus Christ who lives inside of me.
God does not want anyone to be destroyed by money or the love of money.
Those He wants to entrust with lots of money is when money is not their God
You plant seeds you have harvest
If you don't plant seeds, you don't have harvest
Behold the nail
See beyond the physical cross
In the Bible, ‘pretty’ is a qualitative, independent term by which both females and males are described.
GENESIS 12:11,14 NKJV
And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Indeed I know that you are a woman of BEAUTIFUL countenance.
So it was, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very BEAUTIFUL.
1 SAMUEL 17:42 KJV
And when the Philistine looked about, and saw DAVID,
he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy,
and of a FAIR (YAPHEH) countenance.
PSALMS 48:2 KJV
Beautiful (Yapheh) for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is MOUNT ZION, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
The great impressionist painter, Renoir, was fascinated with beauty and spent his life trying to understand what made something beautiful.
An impressionist painter devotes him or herself to a study of beauty.
To him the ROSE was the most beautiful flower and he painted it often.
He found it to be so beautiful; yet, he could not understand WHY it was
beautiful.
He spent his life painting this flower over and over trying to understand its beauty.
Was it its deep rich color, or its lines,
or its shape?
Renoir died at the age of 78.
On the day that he died he was again painting a rose.
His housekeeper brought his lunch to him and overheard him mutter to himself,
“I think I am beginning to understand it.”
"I was pushing a man around in a wheel chair today who is AN ARTIST and has studied art on a university level.
I asked him what he thought RENOIR meant when he said “I think I am beginning to understand it?”
The artist laughed and said, “I guess he finally began to understand what made the flower beautiful.”
I remember one art historian said something that I believe reveals the real thoughts of Renoir on the day he died.
He probably sensed he was going to die and when he did his mind turned to his CREATOR.
It was THEN that he realized WHY the rose was SO BEAUTIFUL and WHY he could never capture the true beauty of a rose in his paintings.
He realized that it was GOD who CREATED ALL BEAUTY and that the beauty he saw in the rose was really the BEAUTY of GOD and he could NEVER RE-CREATE the BEAUTY that GOD CREATED.
He realized that beauty can contain a supernatural element.
God will make everything beautiful in His time.
"Season" (Hebrew: זְמָ֑ן , zə-mān): refers to "appointed or definite time".
"Time" (Hebrew: עת , 'êṯ): means 'occasion', 'period/season' or 'circumstances'.
The word time in Hebrew is be’tho which could come from the root word ba’th which means to come upon without warning.
You could render this as “He has made everything beautiful and it will come upon you without warning.”
The root word is ’ADAH which could mean to adorn oneself or
time or season.
H5710
Original: עדה
Transliteration: ‛âdâh
Phonetic: aw-daw'
BDB Definition:
to pass on, advance, go on, to put on
Strong's Definition:
to advance, that is, pass on or continue; to remove; specifically to BEDECK
(that is, bring an ORNAMENT upon):- ADORN, DECK (self), pass by, take away.
We want to be beautiful and if we overdo it we become christmas tree
So we can say -
“He will make everything beautiful and will adorn himself with
that beauty.
That is an interesting thought, God will not only make everything beautiful, once He does, and He will use that beauty to adorn himself.
He will not only MAKE US BEAUTIFUL, once he has accomplished making us beautiful, He will then ADORN HIMSELF with US.
What about that still small voice?
"I remember as a child attending a baseball game at Wrigley Field to watch the Chicago Cubs play.
We sat way back in the stands behind home plate.
The cheapest seats in the house. People around me were talking, shouting, laughing and making all kinds of noises.
Yet I discovered that even sitting way back in the upper levels of those stands, that if I focus my attention on the umpire and block out all the noises around me, I could actually hear that umpire shout “strike” or “ball” or even “out.”
That is how we hear that still small voice, we just BLOCK OUT ALL of LIFE'S DISTRACTIONS and just FOCUS our ATTENTION on GOD and we may actually hear him say: “Safe!”
Train your physical senses not to be disturbed by noises. It is not easy but it can be done
Spirit man is stronger, pray in tongues a lot, talk and listen to Him a lot. Develop spiritman to listen to Him.
So WHAT is GOD going to ADORN Himself with?
If we listen to His STILL SMALL VOICE we will HEAR just what it is
we are to SAY and DO
and when we SAY and DO what that still small voice is asking, we will ADORN our SAVIOR with a beautiful necklace or piece of Jewelry from our WORDS and ACTIONS.
We will truly be a beautiful person, maybe not on the outside, but people will be so taken by what is INSIDE.
If we listen to His still small voice we can hear.
I am beginning to realize that after three score years and five years
on this earth, God has been really working hard to make me beautiful, now that I am growing old and ugly, it is now He starts to make me beautiful.
Well, good timing I need an inward beauty to make up for my lack of outward beauty.
With what time I have left on this planet, it is about time He starts to adorn Himself with His work.
Thus, everything I do now is to just find opportunities to let Him shine through me.
But that begs the question, what is beauty?
Just WHAT can be beautiful about this dusty old professor after three score and five years?
2 PETER 1:3-4 TPT
Everything we could ever need for life and godliness has already been deposited in us by his divine power.
For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him who has called us by name and invited us to come to him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
As a result of this, he has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises we can experience partnership with the divine nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.
Your spiritual part of the life need supplement! Goodness! Add to understanding to goodness, to understanding add the strength of self-control
2 PETER 1:5-7 TPT
So devote yourselves to lavishly SUPPLEMENTING your FAITH with GOODNESS, and to goodness
add UNDERSTANDING, and to understanding
add the strength of SELF-CONTROL, and to self-control
add PATIENT ENDURANCE,
and to patient endurance
add GODLINESS, and to godliness
add MERCY toward your brothers and sisters,
and to mercy toward others
add UNENDING LOVE.
2 PETER 1:8 TPT
Since these VIRTUES are ALREADY planted DEEP WITHIN,
and you possess them in ABUNDANT SUPPLY,
they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of KNOWING Jesus Christ MORE INTIMATELY.
1 PETER 3:3-4 TPT
Let your true BEAUTY come from your INNER personality, not a focus on the external.
For LASTING BEAUTY comes from a gentle and peaceful SPIRIT, which is precious in God’s sight and is much more important than the outward ADORNMENT of elaborate hair, jewelry, and fine clothes.
1 PETER 3:3-4 EASY
Think about what makes you beautiful.
The way that you prepare your hair does not really make you beautiful.
Gold things or beautiful clothes do not make you beautiful.
Do not just think about your body, but think about what you are REALLY like INSIDE YOURSELF.
Be PATIENT and do not become angry easily.
THEN you will always continue to be beautiful.
If you are BEAUTIFUL in YOUR SPIRIT, God likes that very much.
1 PETER 3:3-4 NKJV
Do not let your ADORNMENT be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—
rather let it be the HIDDEN PERSON of the HEART,
with the INCORRUPTIBLE BEAUTY of a gentle and quiet SPIRIT, which is very precious in the sight of God.

And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.”

You will be like HIS BEAUTIFUL CROWN!

The things we do pleases God
We are the fragrance, the beauty of Christ
We reflect Him
