GOD is NEVER elcipsed by the estimations, notions, or understandings of man. Our Father gave us His Word, not to confuse us but to make His Way clear. Paul held the pen as the Holy Spirit dictated the doctrine of His Ways. Romans 9 “It does not depend on human desire or effort, but on GOD’S ’s mercy. — GOD has mercy on whom HE wants to have mercy, and HE hardens whom HE wants to harden. But who are you, a human being, to talk back to GOD?

“Shall what is formed say to the ONE who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’ ” Does not the POTTER have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

What if GOD, although choosing to show HIS wrath and make HIS power known, bore with great patience the objects of HIS wrath—prepared for destruction? What if HE did this to make the riches of HIS glory known to the objects of HIS mercy, whom HE prepared in advance for glory— As HE says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘MY people’ who are not MY people; and I will call her ‘MY loved one’ who is not MY loved one,” The Lord will carry out HIS sentence on earth with speed and finality.” ERROR: They pursued it NOT by FAITH but as if it were by works.” AMEN – A few words came to mind. Oppulent and Crown. Their meaning?

כֶּתֶר

Crown, diadem, coronet, corona, garland. There are two distinct Biblical Hebrew words for crown: atarah (part of a royal ensemble, coming from the root meaning circular and surrounding) and nezer (part of a priestly ensemble, associated with nazarite concept of separation and dedication). Apply that to the Royal Priesthood 👏 we are set apart, with dedication to live in such a way that honors God.

Ancient Hebrew Crown

The Greek use the word, stephanos (στέφανος) for crown and is translated as such in the Bible. The five rewards can be earned by believers, according to the New Testament, as “rewards for faithfulness in this life.”

We obtain perishable crowns on earth, but our Father gives us the imperishable crown” 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 in the NKJV version.
● CROWN OF REJOICING.
● CROWN  SOUL-WINNER.
● CROWN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
● CROWN OF LIFE.
● IMPERISHABLE CROWN.
● CROWN OF GLORY.

Opulent. The Hebrew word means

שׁוֹפֵעַ

Abundant, bountiful, copious, plentiful, bounteous, opulent. Such is our glorious Giver of all gifts. God Almighty pours out His lavish love. Opulence is the law of the God who owns every hill. His abundant supply covers every need.  His boundless supply of mercy, love and grace is a testimony to our Father’s opulence.  There is zero lack in His kingdom. Ask and receive all that is needed; a word, direction, assurance, an opportunity, an open door. Trust the Word given. “You are my hiding place. You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalm 32:7

“My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.” Song of Solomon 2:14 God is a HIDING PLACE where His people can find safety and refuge in times of danger. He is the One we can go to when no one else can comfort or understand what we are going through.

Hebrew Word for Hiding Place – סֵתֶר, מִסְתּוׄר סֵתֶר, מִסְתּוׄר. Meaning a place where something can be hidden.. However, NOTHING is hidden from God Almighty. Ask for Holy Spirit to reveal what is in your heart. Confess anything (attitude, participation in stinking thinking) that does not glorify God, then accept your Father’s forgiveness, then forgive yourself. AMEN – Let it be done, and so it is!

Read “Abide in His Presence” a  book by Chuck Pierce. Ask Holy Spirit to speak His truth to you. Write down the word, the vision and accept it as a WORD from the Lord. Shekhinah (Hebrew: שְׁכִינָה‎, Modern: Šəḵīna.) is the English pronunciation of a Hebrew word meaning “dwelling” or “settling” and denotes the presence of God in a place. 

The April 8, 2024 eclipse will begin in Mazatlan, Mexico at about 11:07 am Monday, before crossing into Texas at 1:27 pm. The eclipse will end in Maine at 3:35 pm. AMEN  “And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars ; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity ; the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing then for fear , and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then THEY shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great Glory.” Luke 21:25-26 AMEN

Jesus called us His friend, and after years of faithfulness, we choose to believe He is all we ever needed. ❤️ Luke 5:20 “When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” ❤️ John 15:13-15 “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are My friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from My Father I have made known to you.”
