JOHN 6:16-17 TPT
After waiting until evening for Jesus to return, the disciples went down to the lake. But as darkness fell, he still hadn’t returned, so the disciples got into a BOAT and headed across the lake TO Capernaum.
JOHN 6:18 TPT
By now a strong wind began to blow and was stirring up the waters.
JOHN 6:19 TPT
The disciples had rowed about HALFWAY across the lake when all of a sudden they CAUGHT SIGHT of JESUS walking ON TOP of the WAVES, COMING TOWARD THEM. The disciples PANICKED,
JOHN 6:20 TPT
but Jesus CALLED out to them, “Don’t be afraid. You know who I AM.”
Panic is a sign of fear.
Each time we hear God's Word, all fears disappeared.
JOHN 6:21 TPT
They were relieved to take him in, and THE MOMENT Jesus stepped into the boat, they were instantly transported to the other side!
GENESIS 1:1 NLT
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
A large BET is found at the beginning of the Bible.
Bereishit (‘in the beginning’) is the first word of Genesis.
BET is the 2nd letter of the hebrew alphabet, signifying the number two.
Bet is the first letter of the story of Creation, starting the entire Torah/Bible – ברא בראשית.
Bet is a picture of the Son of God.
The word for "create" in Hebrew is bara בָּרָא) ), and the Aramaic word for son is bar בַּר) ).
If we separate the letters within the word for bara, we will have bar Aleph בַּר א)), which points to the Son of the Father (Aleph).
Thus we have: בְּרֵאשִׁית בַּר א
"In the beginning was the Son of Aleph..."
In creation, we see the son of the Father.
BET is made up of three vavs.
It is said to represent the formation of a house, always open on one end as a sign of eternal hospitality.
The three vavs also represent the innate characteristics of mercy, kindness and modesty.
Bet is a picture of YESHUA as MASTER of the House.
The word בְּרֵאשִׁית (bereshit) is derived from the shoresh ראשׁ (rosh), which means head or chief:
Aleph and BET share a strong relationship.
The word for rock, ‘eben’, displays the aleph and BET next to each other, followed by the letter nun.
When divided, the letters form two words, ab and ben, meaning father and son.
The rock, signifying strength and stability, is testament to the relationship between father and son; God and humanity.
Bet’s literal meaning and form denote a House, and it represents the universal concept of a container or vessel.
Thus the created world is meant to house within it the spiritual.
The physical world is meant to be a place for the Creator’s glory to manifest.
Nothing can separate a Father and Son.
Today, the ark of the ship is Christ.
Christianity is God reaching us as there is no way to reach God because of our sin.
Hence, Jesus came down to save us.
The body is meant to contain the spirit and soul, allowing it to act in this world.
The dual world actually contains within it the Ultimate Oneness, but concealed.
The Bet is the tool, the source of all building, containing and then bringing forth all of the other letters.
We are made of spirit, soul and body.
Spirit - spirit man/hidden man/inner man/inward man (gut feeling)
Soul - will, mind and emotion
Body - five senses (hearing, sight, touch, taste and smell)
If our thoughts are not aligned with God, then we will have weird emotions.
From the Word of God, we are a new creation.
Through the building of the spirit man.
After forming man, God breathed His life into man.
To think the way Christ thinks.
Live the miraculous and supernatural life.
The "Tzadik Above" dwells in the House built for Him by the tzadik below.
Here, the deepest passion of the Creator reaches fulfillment.
The large beit, the first letter of the Torah and the beginning of Creation, expresses this ultimate purpose, as is said: "The final deed arose first in thought."
Jesus is the track that we stand upon; the solid ground.
Always come to the Word then we are saved.
Before He gave birth to us, we are already in the mind of God.
In the first word of the Torah, Bereishit, the three "servant" letters--the prefix beit" and the two suffix letters, yud and tav - spell bayit, "house" (equivalent to the full spelling of the letter beit).
The root of "bereishit," rosh, means "head." Thus the most "natural" permutation of bereishit reads: rosh bayit, "the head of the house."
One permutation of the letters rosh is osher, "happiness."
When the tzadik draws GOD, the "HEAD," into His HOUSE, it becomes a house of TRUE and
ETERNAL HAPPINESS.
When Jesus entered into the boat, He had peace.
God wants us to relax and resting in our spirit.
He wants to give us a happiness that only He can give.
For God's children who has Jesus as their head, they are full of joy and life.
The drawing down of the "Head" to dwell in His "House" below, in TRUE HAPPINESS, is the secret of BRACHA, "BLESSING," which begins with the letter beit.
Sages teach that the "big beit" begins the Creation, and the Torah as a whole, with the POWER of BLESSING.
God wants to bless us, not curse us.
He wants to bless us if we let Him be the head of the house.
Let Him reign freely.
GOD BLESSES HIS CREATION, which He creates with the attribute of lovingkindness, the attribute of Abraham, as in the letter hei.
Abraham, the first Jewish soul, is subsequently ENTRUSTED with the DIVINE POWER of BLESSING, the "big beit" of Creation, as is said: "And you shall be [the ONE who BESTOWS] BLESSING."
All the families of the earth will be blessed.
We are Abraham's children by faith.
We inherit all His blessings.
Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV
And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
His blessings are without sorrows, toil and sweat.
Afterwards, at the time of his circumcision, he was given the "small hei" of Creation, the POWER to draw down and manifest the DIVINE BLESSING of HAPPINESS in the smallest detail of reality.
JOHN 6:20-21 NLT
but he called out to them, “Don’t be afraid. I AM here!” Then they were eager to let him in the boat, and immediately they ARRIVED at their DESTINATION!
ROMANS 4:17 NLT
That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who CREATES NEW THINGS OUT of NOTHING.
God spoke into being,
We can have the same power to speak things into being.
Speak blessings and life into our being.
God wants us to prosper through our spekaing.
Our DESTINATION in this JOURNEY that we are TRAVELLING on this earth is -
God bless us and we bless others.
PSALM 126:1-3 TPT
It was like a dream come true when you FREED US from our bondage and BROUGHT US BACK to Zion! We LAUGHED and LAUGHED and OVERFLOWED with GLADNESS. We were left SHOUTING for JOY and SINGING your PRAISE.
PSALM 126:1-3 TPT
All the nations saw it and joined in, saying, “THE LORD has done GREAT MIRACLES for them!” Yes, HE did MIGHTY MIRACLES and we are OVERJOYED!
[GOD was WONDERFUL to US ;
WE ARE ONE HAPPY PEOPLE. (MSG)]
