UNDERSTANDING THE  MEANING OF JEHOVAH EL-DEAH (Sermon Note)






Pastor Stephanie


UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF JEHOVAH EL-DEAH יהוה אל דּעה and how that affects us as sons and daughters of JEHOVAH EL-DEAH דּעה אל יהוה in CHRIST.


1 SAMUEL 1:20-22 MSG

Before the year was out, Hannah had conceived and given birth to a son.

She named him Samuel, explaining, “I asked God for him.”


When Elkanah next took his family on their annual trip to Shiloh to worship God, offering sacrifices and keeping his vow, Hannah didn’t go.


She told her husband, “AFTER the child is WEANED, I’ll bring him myself and present him before God—and that’s where he’ll stay, for good.”


You cannot really serve God if you are not really weaned spiritually


1 SAMUEL 1:23-24 MSG

Elkanah said to his wife, “Do what you think is best.

Stay home until you have weaned him.

Yes!

Let God complete what he has begun!”


So she did.

She stayed home and nursed her son until she had WEANED him.

THEN she took him up to Shiloh, bringing also the makings of a generous sacrificial meal—a prize bull, flour, and wine.

The child was so young to be sent off!


1 SAMUEL 1:25-28 MSG

They first butchered the bull, then brought the child to Eli.

Hannah said, “Excuse me, sir. Would you believe that I’m the very woman

who was standing before you at this very spot, praying to God?


I prayed for this child, and God gave me what I asked for.

And now I have dedicated him to God.

He’s dedicated to God for life.” Then and there, they worshiped God.


God promised him and he just needed to believe God

We did not even ask for our salvation or know that we were lost, but. God knows we need a Sacrifice and we need to be saved and He sent Jesus Christ.


God knows and this is how much He loves us and know about us

Grace is God giving to us what we don't deserve


We learn more about Hebrew language, God's names and we know we can have the inheritance of Abraham.


We were formerly Gentiles, but as a Jew, they had the privilege of tithing. They were privilege people with blessings. The Gentiles did not have instructions to tithe.

The Gentiles did not have the privilege to tithe. Tithing, we GET TO tithe, as a new creation! It is a privilege! The instruction of tithing is a privilege !


1 SAMUEL 2:1 MSG

Hannah prayed:

I’m bursting with God-news!

I’m walking on air.

I’m laughing at my rivals.

I’m dancing my salvation.


Walking in heavenly realm

All the promises cause you to be bursting!

Grace should cause us to burst!


1 SAMUEL 2:2-3 MSG

Nothing and no one is holy like God, no rock mountain like our God.

Don’t dare talk pretentiously— not a word of boasting, ever!


For GOD KNOWS what’s going on.

He takes the measure of everything that happens.


1 SAMUEL 2:3 AMP

Do not go on boasting so very proudly,

Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;

For the LORD is a GOD of KNOWLEDGE דּעה ,

And by Him actions are weighed (examined).


Hannah experienced the wonderful grace of God Let not arrogance come out from your mouth

God is the God of knowledge

“Oh the DEPTH of the RICHES both of the WISDOM and of the KNOWLEDGE of GOD”– ROMANS 11:33


Revelation knowledge is from the spirit. Reveal to us


PROVERBS 8:27 ESV

When he established the heavens, I was there;

when he drew a CIRCLE on the face of the deep,


JOB 27:7-10 AMP

It is He who spreads out the north over emptiness

And hangs the earth on nothing.


He wraps the waters in His clouds [which otherwise would spill on earth all at once],

And the cloud does not burst under them.

He covers the face of the full moon And spreads His cloud over it.


He has inscribed a CIRCULAR limit (the horizon) on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.


The God of knowledge is the One who can tell you everything


1 CORINTHIANS 1:18 AMP

For the MESSAGE of the CROSS is foolishness [absurd and illogical] to those who are perishing and spiritually dead [because they reject it],

but to us who are being saved [by God’s grace] it is [the manifestation of] the POWER of GOD.


1 CORINTHIANS 1:19-20 AMP

For it is written and forever remains written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise [the philosophy of the philosophers], And the cleverness of the clever [who do not know Me] I will nullify.”


Where is the wise man (philosopher)?

Where is the scribe (scholar)? Where is the debater (logician, orator) of this age?

Has God not exposed the foolishness of this world’s wisdom?


Go to God Himself. He is the God of knowledge. The smartest man think he can live forever but he did not succeed. No man can escape physical death. But today because of Jesus we can have new body in rapture! We don't have to die sick.


1 CORINTHIANS 1:21 AMP

For since the world through all its [earthly] wisdom failed to recognize God, God in His wisdom was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached [regarding salvation] to save those who believe [in Christ and welcome Him as Savior].


Salvation means sozo. every aspect of renewal


1 CORINTHIANS 1:22-24 AMP

For Jews demand signs (attesting miracles), and Greeks pursue [worldly] wisdom and philosophy, but we preach Christ crucified, [a MESSAGE which is] to Jews a stumbling block [that provokes their opposition],

and to Gentiles foolishness [just utter nonsense],


but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks (Gentiles),

CHRIST is the POWER of GOD and the WISDOM of GOD.


1 CORINTHIANS 1:25 AMP

[This is] because the foolishness of God [is not foolishness at all and] is wiser than men [FAR BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION], and the weakness of God is stronger than men [FAR BEYOND the LIMITS of HUMAN EFFORT].


1 CORINTHIANS 1:26-27 AMP

Just look at your own calling, believers; not many [of you were considered] wise according to human standards, not many powerful or influential, not many of high and noble birth.


But God has selected [for His purpose] the foolish things of the world to shame the wise [revealing their ignorance], and God has selected [for His purpose] the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong [revealing their frailty].


We grow and become wise in God

We have the power of God


We are weak in the flesh, wonderful! God has chosen you!


1 CORINTHIANS 1:28 AMP

God has selected [for His purpose] the insignificant (base) things of the world, and the things that are despised and treated with contempt, [even] the things that are nothing, so that He might reduce to nothing the things that are,


1 CORINTHIANS 1:29-31 AMP

so that no one may [be able to] boast in the presence of God.


But it is from Him that YOU ARE in CHRIST JESUS, who BECAME to us WISDOM from GOD [revealing His plan of salvation], and RIGHTEOUSNESS [making us acceptable to God], and SANCTIFICATION [making us holy and setting us apart for God], and REDEMPTION [providing our ransom from the penalty for sin],


so then, as it is written [in Scripture], “He who boasts and glories, let him boast and glory in the Lord.”


Wisdom comes from the Lord.

Man tries to become wise apart from God, it ends up in foolishness.


1 CORINTHIANS 1:4-5 CEB

I thank my God always for you, because of God’s grace that was given to you in Christ Jesus.

That is, you were MADE RICH THROUGH HIM in EVERYTHING:

in all your COMMUNICATION and EVERY KIND of KNOWLEDGE,


Jesus is your Redeemer, Jesus, the Word is made unto you wisdom from God


JOB 42:1-2 AMP

Then Job answered the Lord and said, “I know that You can do all things,

And that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained.


God is the Shepherd, not we are the shepherd. We tend to walk and tell God to follow us and bless us as if He is the sheep and we are the shepherd.


God has already given to us, make us rich.

Progress and claim the promise land


Job was very blessed by God, than one day the Lord allowed him to be tested. 40 over chapters of Job's lives, at the end, after trying to reason out with God, he finally surrendered all his worldly wisdom to God JOB 42:3 AMP

[You said to me] ‘Who is this that darkens and obscures counsel [by words] without knowledge?’


Therefore [I now see] I have [rashly] uttered that which I did not understand,

THINGS too wonderful for me, which I DID NOT KNOW.


JOB 42:4-6 AMP

‘Hear, please, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct [and answer] me.’


I had heard of You [only] by the hearing of the ear,

But now my [spiritual] eye SEES You.


Therefore I retract [my words and hate myself] And I repent in dust and ashes.”


JOB 42:7-8 AMP

It came about that after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.


Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you.


For I will accept him [and his prayer] so that I may not deal with you according to your folly,


because you have not spoken of Me the THING that is RIGHT, as My servant Job has.”


JOB 42:10,12 AMP

The Lord RESTORED the FORTUNES of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the LORD GAVE Job TWICE as MUCH as he had before.


And the Lord BLESSED the LATTER DAYS of Job more than his beginning; for he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.


GENESIS 2:17 KJV

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:

for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.


Good and evil has nothing to do with life

You just need to eat the fruit that can give you life!


H1847 knowledge

Original: דּעת

Transliteration: da‛ath

Phonetic: dah'-ath

BDB Definition:

Strong's Definition: From H3045; knowledge: - cunning, [ig-] norantly, know(-ledge), [un-] awares (wittingly).


GENESIS 3:1 CEB

The snake was the most intelligent of all the wild animals that the LORD God had made.

He said to the woman, “Did God really say that you shouldn’t eat from any tree in the garden?”


Where are you hanging around?

don't hang around at the wrong tree


GENESIS 3:2-3 CEB

The woman said to the snake, “We may eat the fruit of the garden’s trees but not the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden.

God said, ‘Don’t eat from it, and don’t touch it, or you will die.’”


GENESIS 3:4-5 CEB

The snake said to the woman, “You won’t die!

God knows that on the day you eat from it,

you will see clearly and you will be like God, KNOWING good and evil.”


GENESIS 3:6 CEB

The woman saw that the tree was beautiful with delicious food and that the tree would provide wisdom, so she took some of its fruit and ate it, and also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.


GENESIS 3:7 CEB

Then they both saw clearly and knew that they were naked.

So they sewed fig leaves together and made garments for themselves.


The 5 senses rule a lot of people now. Very clear in the physical realm but very blur in spiritual realm


Only the true righteousness, God righteousness can cover up the nakedness of sin

Self righteousness cannot cover


GENESIS 3:8-9 CEB

During that day’s cool evening breeze, they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the LORD God in the middle of the garden’s trees.

The LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”


Condemnation, sin, and he cannot face God


God today is calling to the lost souls, where are you?


GENESIS 3:10-11 CEB

The man replied, “I heard your sound in the garden;

I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself.”

He said, “Who told you that you were naked?

Did you eat from the tree, which I commanded you not to eat?”


God knowledge is we were created pure.


Where are you getting your knowledge from? Who told you? who told you this is the way to get rich? who told you? who gave you the information?


Meditate on worldly wisdom


JOHN 14:26 CEB

The Companion, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I told you.


We have the greatest Teacher!


JOHN 16:13-14 CEB

However, when the SPIRIT of TRUTH comes, HE will guide you in all truth.

He won’t speak on his own, but will say whatever he hears and will proclaim to you what is to come.

He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and proclaim it to you.


Walk and live in truth


Be the best law abiding citizen, that is the best testimony for God. Integrity. people will say who is your God and people will want to know Him


COLOSSIANS 2:3 AMPC

IN HIM all the treasures of [divine] WISDOM (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God) and [all the RICHES of SPIRITUAL] KNOWLEDGE and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden.


For our spiritual wealth is in him, like hidden treasure waiting to be discovered—HEAVEN’S WISDOM and ENDLESS RICHES of REVELATION KNOWLEDGE.


My spiritual wealth is in Him

Treasure is deep. Treasure hunt is always deep in the ground and you need to dig. Is hidden from physical eyes


Wisdom for our spiritual wealth is in Him


PHILIPPIANS 3:10-11 AMPC

[For my determined purpose is] that I may KNOW HIM [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly],


and that I may in that same way come to KNOW the POWER outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so SHARE His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]


That if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].


You please your loved ones because you know what he likes and do what he likes.

God likes faith. Observe, know Him and do what He likes.

Don't eat tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil , you will be independent from God

God makes things for you is better


It was God's will for Adam to choose the tree of life


PROVERBS 11:30 AMPC

The fruit of the [uncompromisingly] RIGHTEOUS is a tree of LIFE, and he who is WISE captures human lives [for God, as a FISHER of MEN–he gathers and receives them for ETERNITY].



We can now come and receive God's provision. Exactly from the tree of life!

Eat as much as you want.


The tree of life is eternity

We have Him, we have wisdom in Him


Most important is to receive life


Our happiness comes from the tree of life, Jesus!
