The Hebrew word for humble has deep meaning which we can attempt to learn by examining the meaning of each letter in the word.  From the meaning of letters of the word, it is possible to develop a meaning for the Hebrew word for humble and gain some insight into the depth of its meaning.  This should always be done in the context of scripture that the word is found in.

In developing the a meaning of the word humble using the meanings of the Hebrew letters, those meanings of each letter of the word humble are listed below followed by a possle letter meaning of humble. 

The meaning is posted after the listing of the letters below.

Hebrew Strongs’s Number H3665

ו     Vav- Nail, to secure – add, secure, hook (2b) The literal meaning is a nail. The symbolic meaning is "to secure or fasten" "add" "a connection". The letter in grammar serves to connect or join together, two words or phrases as in English our word “and” (1a) (inferred—lasting—vs  Psalms 119:144- עוֹלָם‎ ʿôlām  -everlasting))  F

י    Yud - deed done, to make, power, might- Work, worship (2b) In the ancient Hebrew word pictures, the yod was drawn as a "hand" complete with the arm above the elbow. It symbolized work done - (1a) (note: the picture of the letter Yud-of how it was represented in the Alphabet used in Abraham’s time, looks like a possible handshake-a handshake could infer ‘agreement’.)    JI

     

כּ כ ךְ       Kaph - It's symbolic meaning is to cover, to allow or to open. In the picture Hebrew of Moses it was drawn like what it represented, an open hand. The center of the Hebrew alphabet, it shows the open hand of God's blessing for all who embrace Him. (1a) Open, Allow (2b)   The meaning where kaph is used in a work preceded by a word like ‘lo’ לֹא֙ which is a negative could also infer that in the presence of pure Holiness –all our wrong doings are known.  Therefore, to open would be to show faults (10)  K

נ    Nun-Propagate increase, In the ancient picture language this was pictured as a seed in ancient Hebrew and Egyptian cultures. As mentioned, it represented "life", "posterity", "active life". As used in the Hebrew word for son, the nun symbolized the posterity of the house.(also by inference, Nun could mean purpose—it is used in the word—potter  יֹצְרֵ֔נוּ –see Isaiah 64:8—a potter makes a vessel Humblefor a specific purpose) Continue, heir, son (2b)  N

עָ     Ayin   - see, know, knowledge, experience, insight, symbol of sight and insight and other possible meaning eye and fountain. (1a) watch, know, shade—(to shade could infer hiding) (2b)   O

The letter in grammar serves to connect or join together, two words or phrases as in English our word “and” (1a) (inferred—lasting—vs  Psalms 119:144- עוֹלָם‎ ʿôlām  -everlasting))  F

Possible letter meaning of humble wə·yik·kā·nə·‘ū   וְיִכָּנְע֨וּ :  The deed of sacrifice that opens the insight of life (Life that comes from God).

As you study the word Humble, you will find the meaning of that word does have a significant meaning, and adds much depth to our understanding of II Chronicles 7:14.

Personal Time With the Lord

Subject: Personal Time With The Lord
Written by Lewis Turner

Over the years, I have been able to have some personal time with the Lord. I will admit that that while time has not always been consistent, my thoughts throughout the day to focus on the Lord and what He is doing. I want to share some of the items that are a part of my personal time with the Lord.

Personal time with the Lord
• Time to read God's Word
• Time to meditate on the Word of God
• During the time of meditation and reflection on God’s Word, the Holy Spirit speaks to my heart. Whe He does, personal time give me opportunity to take to listen & journal
• Time to sort issues
• Time to focus away from work or other cares
• Time for personal prayer and personal requests
• Time for praise and worship of God
• Time to care for my personal needs and also ask the Lord to help me be able to focus on the other person when I pray.

Also, seek the Lord's guidance for the challenges of the day.
When take personal time with the Lord, you may see only a few of the above elements of the above listing in a particular day, but that time alone with the Lord is still very important. The personal time with the Lord, will help you when you spend time in prayer with others.

There is a song, 'More time alone with thee Lord Jesus, More time alone with thee'. The more time we spend alone with the Lord, the more we will desire it.

Isaiah 58

6. Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward.
9. Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10. And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
11. And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

Now go to the Next Post to see the rest of the Story of Convoy of Hope!!!!!

Part 2 pf Prayer at Convoy of Hope Frederick, Md, Jun 18, 2011

There were Pastors present too. 







And Many Prayed

People leaving the prayer tent to go receive groceries

There there was the Food Distribution

To God Be the Glory—Great Things He has Done!

I saw a lady in tears when her feet were washed and she received new shoes. Does not God see that and bottles up those tears?

Actions of Love—speak more words than a picture.

A note—I met a Vietnamese Pastor who pastured a church in Springfield Va. I shared with him that I had been in Thailand, but that the language was different. I shared with him in Thai that Jesus Loves Him—Though the language was different, he seem to understand me.

God saw us reach out to others in the Love of Christ—The Love of Christ is a universal language that speaks to hearts.

Yes, God will do great things when we lift Jesus up!!!!

Intercessor Thoughts about Evangelistic Types of Events and Other Events

About 1-2 years ago, Several Pastors came together and established a loose organization know to us as One in Christ. It is a consortium of churches interested in reaching out to our community sharing Christ. Any monies collected over costs incurred go to helping several local charities in our community region.

Working with One in Christ, there was a vision put forward by one of our churches. It was for ‘Convoy of Hope’ to come to our town. That vision was first shared at one of our Evangelical Ministerial Fellowship meetings—then it took about a year for that vision to come about.

To bring the vision about, it also took some personal contact between leaders. When the vision was first presented, there was considerable apprehension at first--when the ‘Convoy of Hope’ was first presented. We were not ready for it--Relationships had to be built. Those with the vision took that step to build those relationships. Once that was done, the work moved forward. Part of building that relationship was sharing one's heart. God used that behind the scene work to help us move forward.

While these events are wonderful events, they are visionary led. I want to make a personal note here to encourage long term maintenance of wonderful action like the ‘Convoy of Hope’ and other community activities. We need to have periodic times where leaders will take time to listen to intercessors-(this assumes the development of a team of intercessors with a purpose of covering events like the Convoy of Hope and other community events) and even more work on building relationships needs to be done with leaders and intercessors.

As much as intercessors want to see pastors working together, they-- themselves --- find it hard –except for special events—to stay working together themselves. They need pastors who will encourage them to do so.

Intercessors need Pastors and Pastors need intercessors. If the two--Pastors and Intercessors-- can understand that, then the door is opened for encouragement that can come from a relationship between the two—perhaps revival, and action like the Convoy of Hope and other events can continue for many years—Especially those focused on Isaiah 58 type ministering.

Leaders, are you willing to take personal time with the Lord and be willing to listen --even to intercessors?

Basic Instructions for Praying Together Course

Welcome to some basic instructions and helps for the class ‘Praying Together Course'. The course is designed as an online conducted with a lesson and provides opportunity of Peer to Peer contribution. The Teacher/Facilitator will be also commenting and asking individuals follow-up questions.

The following section is written to give some technical basics on the ‘Praying Together Course’—ie facts that will help when actually on Pray!Network.

Some of you have been regular users of facebook and other social networks. Pray!Network is a private social network, set up by Nav Press. NavPress in the past published a specialty magazine called Pray, which is no longer being published. Pray!Network has been a followup to their publication. The network started last spring and now has about 2500 members from all over the world, including some of the major prayer leaders in the United States. A Person has to be a member of Pray!Network to participate. That can be accomplished by contacting me at Prayer@Wheatlandministries.com. I will then follow the network procedures and see that you are extended an invitation to join. Generally, this takes only a few days, but at times may be a bit longer.

Where to find the course and how to participate:

Once you have been invited to join, you will be provided a link to www.Pray!Network.org or you can choose to go to it’s location the web location of Pray!Network. You will have to sign in, so a user name and a password are needed. Don't forget them.

The course is being offered in a group titled ‘Praying Together Course’. Near the top of the web page, just under what I will call the network title block, there is a menu bar. One of the words on that menu will have the word ‘groups’. Click on it. It will take you to the section where you can find all the groups in the network.

Once you get to the section containing the groups, look for the picture used for this group, the ‘Praying Together Course’. It has a light yellow background. There are three pages of groups currently on the network, so you may have to page through them to find it. Once you find it, click on it. The membership is open to all so you do not have to wait for approval to join the group. As the group leader and facilitator of the course, I encourage you to join.

When you start participating you will find the format contains a section that has discussion questions. This is where the class lessons will be presented. Then there is another section just below it to use for comments. Just type your comments to the reflection questions in the comment block and when finished, click reply. It is that easy.

Here is a diagram:

Discussion Question
Lesson Material just below and right after the Discussion Question
Then a section open for comments by those in the class.

Notes: Sorry—you will not hear me lecture on this course. I will present the lesson by posting it after identifying the lesson, providing a lesson in outline form and adding some reflective questions to think about after the lesson. – It should help you learn the material. I encourage obtaining the texts and reading the lessons. Taking time to read and study the lesson, and take time to comment on some of the reflective questions. This is designed to be a 'Peer-to Peer' course with comments and follow-up questios from the teacher/facilitator. There is much to be learned and gleamed that may help you in your personal time with the Lord and in praying with others.

Oh—another thing, don’t jump for glee, but there are no written papers due from the students in this course.

The course is ideal for leaders who are already teaching Sunday School and do not have time at church to take a class due to their activities. You can also take it at you own pace.

Initially, it is envisioned that a class will be presented each week for about 18 weeks. We make take a little more time between classes, if there is a lot of discussion on an area, allowing for time to allow the discussion to come to a reasonable end before moving on.

My role as a leader is, after having written the lesson material, is to be a facilitator and to help others discover for themselves, truths that are in God’s word concerning prayer. I will work to help us stay on course.

This class has been presented twice in a classroom, and now it is a challenge to present the class in this manner. I am looking forward to the Lord guiding the course. It is His course.
