Yahweh's Lexicon
There is no separation between His walk, His talk, and His name.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
There are ways of thinking that humanity engages in that are alien to God. He does not walk the way His fallen children walk, and this puts us, His children, at odds with His voice. Our stubborn flesh and our chaotic minds refuse to submit to His wisdom. Sin causes this separation. Through the flesh (carnality) and the soul (your mind, will, and emotions), we attempt to understand Father God and dialogue with Him, only to be stifled by our limitations.
Father God has open communication with His children through His Holy Spirit living inside us, but our lack of understanding of His ways puts us on the back foot when understanding His speech. We often preference the soul and flesh in our interpretations of reality even though God desires for us to preference our redeemed spirit (which houses Holy Spirit) when following His voice.
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Instead of being led by the Spirit of God, we are led by our fallen nature, and we communicate out of our brokenness to Him. We reach out with our double-mindedness to Him, and when He doesn’t respond as we would like, we feel rejected.
That is the wrestle.
We are not rejected, but we are accepted by our Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth and through the grace of His death and resurrection on the Cross. His blood created a direct line between us and Father God so that we may engage with Him minute by minute, moment by moment. However, few believers in Jesus Christ take advantage of this open communication. Because of our lack of knowledge, we falter in building an ongoing dialogue with Father God, and because of that, we suffer.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
because you have rejected knowledge,
I reject you from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.
Though we will sometimes suffer as a consequence of following Jesus, Father God did not create us to suffer from our lack of knowledge. In His Word, He has given us all the keys to overcome the lack of knowledge about His ways that prevent us from approaching Him in a way that He desires. Jesus declared, “no one is good except God alone” (Mark 10:18), so be assured that our Father is good. Let us also be certain that our Father in Heaven desires to meet and walk with us in the cool of the day as He once did with Adam and his mate in the Garden (Genesis 1:8).
When we attempt to engage with Father God through Jesus’ name in prayer, we bring to Him our faulty notions of His Word and His character that we've received from the World. By “the World” here, I actually mean the carnal church institutions that we have all been required to interact with because of our lack of direct pursuit of relationship with God. Because of this, our understanding of His thoughts and ways are perceived through our carnality, through institutional church doctrine, or through our private misgivings about our Father in Heaven. What we want is to get God to see things our way. What Father God is wanting is for us to see things His way. This mismatch in intent fuels our frustrations as we pursue Jesus.
What we want is to get God to see things our way. What Father God is wanting is for us to see things His way.
Several concepts appear in the New Testament that are curious to me because I've grown in my walk with the Lord. These concepts appear in Scripture though I know God Himself does not conceptualize these concepts in the way man does. Father God has extended His wisdom towards us in His Word so that He can resolve the conflicts within us, allowing us to renew our minds from double-mindedness to single-mindedness. Through His grace, He addresses concepts in His Inspired Word that afflicts us that He Himself sees as anathema.
When reading His Word, an observant believer in Jesus Christ will notice several concepts appear in the New Testament that are curiously presented. They appear there though a believer knows that Father God Himself does not think in particular ways. This isn’t a critique of the Inspired Word of God. Instead, I am pointing out how Father God uses teachers to bridge the gap between sinful humanity and the Alpha and Omega. Teachers in the early church whose writings appear as Epistles as part of Scripture help us consolidate our formless understandings of God’s ways into the Truth by discussing topics from a frame that His fallen creation can imbibe to mature us in our faith.
God in His kindness is speaking to us from the framework of our brokenness though He does not frame the world as we do!
Praise God!
Take for example the body of Christ’s understanding of the “faith and works” debate. God has clarified this concept in plain language in the epistle of James nearly 2000 years ago (1st century church). He ensured that a New Testament Epistle addressed the double-mindedness of man on this issue. The Holy One sent James to clarify this once and for all, forever, in the below passages, yet Christians are still “debating” this.
17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
It was resolved in plain, easy-to-understand language once and for all, and people still argue about this. If you wanted to summarize these verses from the Father’s perspective, you could summarize them by saying, “there is no separation between faith and works.” I have yet to hear a minister say this plainly yet even if they do understand it and walk in it. The separation that is communicated in the passage comes from a human perspective. Humans believe that there is a separation between Faith and Works. But in Elohim, this separation does not exist, so He had a fellow son of God of His address this in a way that we all can understand. This servant, James, makes the argument for there being no separation between faith and works by saying in verse 18, “I will show you my faith by my works.”
In Yahweh’s Lexicon, He never says something that fails to come to pass. For Him, speaking it is equivalent to our faith, and when what he speaks comes to pass, that is equivalent to our works. His Word never returns void. He always performs what He has spoken.
11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
25 For I am the Lord; I will speak the word that I will speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord God.”
For the trinity: Father God, Jesus Christ the Son, and Holy Spirit, there is no separation between His walk, His talk, and His name. He is single-minded about His goals because He is Truth.
6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
Because of the lack of deviation within Him, Jesus’ name has power. His walk and His talk have no separation. He never says one thing and does the opposite. He never does one thing and says the opposite. He never walks contrary to His names. He is the Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Emmanuel (God with us), and much more. He never acts outside of what He has spoken, and He never walks contrary to His name (His character). Understanding biblical truth comes down to this.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Biblical First Principles like this are repeated verbatim and stated verbatim in church institutions, but the lives of Christian believers often fall short of this reality. The name “Jesus Christ of Nazareth” has power because there is no double-mindedness in Him. He is fully unified amongst His walk, His talk, and His name. But in you, one of His followers, there is a discontinuity. There is conflict. You are not sure of your name and have shaky character. You say one thing and do the opposite. You do one thing and say the opposite. We are rife with contradictions within ourselves, and this is why our names lack power. We are double-minded. This is also why our prayers falter.
You may ask, “are our names supposed to have power?” Well, Paul’s name had power, so why would you strive for anything less than what a follower of Jesus walked in. If you recall, it is revealed in the New Testament that demons know not just the highest of names, Jesus Christ, but even the name of the Apostle Paul because of the surety of which He walked with Jesus.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said to them, “I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”
Because Paul began to walk like Jesus, without double-mindedness, the demons began to know his name alongside knowing the name of our Savior. I believe that God is wanting us all to imitate Jesus Christ in this way. He wants all of us to be known (feared) by demons walking amongst us because we walk in the power of His name. He wants us to get what He is trying to get across to us in His Word, but we often do not.
Because we are double-minded, because there is a disparity between what God named us (the divine innate nature He put in us), how we walk in Christ, and how we talk in Christ, we cannot receive anything from God.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
We are split and fractured, so God chooses to stoop to our level in His language and give us personal understanding of what He has already written. He chooses to communicate to us in a way that our fractured minds and identities can grasp. So He moves on James to tell you about your fractured nature ahead of time in His Word so that you can understand this aspect of fallen creation. He informs you through James’ epistle that you are double-minded; therefore, you believe that there exists a separation between faith and works (which in God are never separate) or a separation between when God hears your prayer request and when it is fulfilled.
Yes, it’s true. There is no separation between when you pray and when you receive according to Truth. I have much to say about this, but I will save it for another time.
The disconnect in yourself over these concepts do not come from God’s Word (which is clear). It comes from the world. Often, it comes from what you have been taught. For many, your church institution incorrectly tells you to lean one way or another on this question, or worse, it tells you the truth but is incapable of teaching you to live out of the truth in the faith practice that they impart to you (most common scenario—I’m afraid); thus, you end up spiritually hindered by tormenting familiar spirits because you are unable to reconcile something that is clearly and transparently explained perfectly, once and for all, forever in Scripture.
…your soul and flesh are unable to reconcile something that is clearly and transparently explained perfectly, once and for all, forever in Scripture.
There are deep nuggets in Scripture that are required to be researched to understand. Much even requires a quickening by Holy Spirit to be grasped. My opinion, however, is most of us do not even grasp what is available for us on the surface of God’s Word. Why start digging when the treasures on the surface have not yet been acquired?
Much of the Charismatic Christian world’s operating system is on this idea that it’s the deep mysteries of God that we ought to be pursuing, so everything is treated as if it’s a mystery even when clearly revealed. I love my people and will not deny them, but they have often strayed in this way. What is stated obviously in Scripture is treated as if it is a mystery. Much of what is a mystery is stated as if it is confirmed to be true biblically. The confusion between what is spoken clearly in Scripture as a primary firm foundation and what must be revealed by Jesus through encounter as secondary information is the cause of much frustration amongst believers in the Charismatic church world.
Often the shakiest concepts are promoted as the most firm while the firmest biblical concepts are pushed by the wayside in favor of the spectacle of the shakiest. Though I state this, it’s important to note that many older more traditional denominations and branches are entrenched in spectacle but from a different spiritual age. I think of liturgy in Catholic and Orthodox churches which services are all spectacle but from over a thousand years ago. Protestant churches which inherited these practices are also performing the spectacle while thinking its enumeration in services was divine. Spectacle has so dominated church history that people see the holy vestments of clergy and sacred ritual of liturgy and believe that this is less showy than the smoke machines of contemporary churches. I am here to be the harbinger of uncomfortable news: It’s all the same thing.
…many older more traditional denominations and branches are entrenched in spectacle but from a different spiritual age.
If smoke machines were institutionalized in a new coalescing denomination, then a thousand years from now if practices remained the same, they would be viewed on the level of liturgy in the Christian world. Viewing the Church through this lens is key to understanding the seven churches discussed at the beginning of Revelation, a deeper discussion for another time, but just to dip our toes in: we still have not moved past this rebuke from the Lord:
17 For you say, “I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing,” not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
Spectacle was introduced into the Church over a thousand years ago to cover up the loss of the glory of God, Ichabod.
Much of the Pentecostal and Charismatic church world is filled with a pursuit of the gifts because they are under the impression that they are successfully pursuing Jesus Christ of Nazareth, but here I am again, being the herald of dark tidings, to tell you that many are pursuing the gifts when they ought to be pursuing their Lord Yeshua (Jesus). The lack of the glory of God is an expression of the lack of relationship with Jesus Christ. The thing you believe that you have, Father God would judge you as lacking. You think you are rich and can see, but you are poor and blind.
You think you are rich and can see, but you are poor and blind.
The restoration of the voice of the Lord in the Church (all institutionalized variants—from the most hierarchical: Catholicism to the least hierarchical: Charismatics) requires a radical shift in thinking. That radical shift in thinking simply requires what Father God asks of us: humility. Are you willing to repent for being blind and poor and believing the opposite about yourself?
If you are willing to do that, then says this prayer:
Father, I have sinned.
I have believed that I was rich in relationship with you when I was poor. I have believed that I could see when I was blind.
Deliver me of my wretched state, and allow me to discern properly where I am in you.
I repent for my lack of humility, and my lack of discernment.
I ask you for wisdom, for eyes to see, and ears to hear. Restore to me your glory Father as I pursue relationship with you through Jesus Christ once again.
Amen.
33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
The full expression of the glory of God will come when people stop pursuing spectacle and pursue Jesus Christ of Nazareth instead. Through that renewal, the miraculous power of God expressed through the charismatic gifts will be fully restored alongside the glory of God. It’s that simple.
Now, for those of you who have repented and desire to be restored to pursuit of relationship with Father God through Jesus Christ, you will be able to embrace the rest of this message.
Yehovah’s Lexicon is not of this world. Our frustrations in our prayers and our communications with God in our faith journey come back to our failure to understand this. He is not like us. There is no one like Him.
6 There is none like You, O Lord;
You are great, and great is Your name in might.
To reconcile the incongruity between our walk, our talk, and our name, Father provided the perfect Son, God in the flesh, to walk among us, to die for us, and to be raised from the dead. He showed us the perfect example of how to walk in this way while He walked the Earth.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
The way to walk on the Lexicon of the Living God is to simply do only what He says to do and to say only what He says to say. This seems too easy, but it’s obviously not easy. After all, Christians are still debating faith and works. They are still double-minded. They still cannot reconcile Father God’s ways even though, through Christ, believers in Jesus have access to the mind of Christ.
16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
As we can see, Father God bridged the gap between us and Him through Jesus. He says in Isaiah 55:8-9 (at the beginning of this piece) that we do not know His thoughts and His ways, but here, in 1 Corinthians, Paul informs us that we now have access to the mind of Christ, which is the mind of Father God. Jesus Christ is just like Father God, and Father God is just like Jesus. I feel the need to clarify this for those reading.
Jesus said, “whoever has seen me has seen the Father.”
8 Philip *said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.
Everything that Jesus has ever said to you is what the Father is saying to you, whether in Scripture or a rhema word directly to you. Everything the Father has said to you or is saying to you is just like what Jesus would said to you. This is the Trinity. Our Triune God has three distinct parts which are one and agree on everything.
Ruach Hakodesh is Holy Spirit, and we know that He is just like Jesus Christ who is just like the Father. Holy Spirit only says what the Father is saying to you. Jesus sent Him on Pentecost to be with us forever to empower us to walk with the Father forever. The world does not know Him; therefore, the world cannot know you if you believe.
16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.
Through all these Scriptures, you can see how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one. Now also embrace that you are one in them because of what Jesus prayed over His disciples.
20 “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
Please meditate on these verses as all these verses of the Gospel of John are what Jesus spoke or prayed or declared over His disciples which includes you if you believe. Jesus desired these things for you and spoke them over you, so how could you fail to receive them?
Jesus speaks with certainty that you will receive everything that He prayed to God that you would receive. There is no wavering in Him. No division. He is unified within Himself. He did not create you to be fractured though sin has fractured you. The revelation that I am imparting to you is made plain in Scripture, but I only received this recently through a radical change God brought in my heart and mind. He healed my many fractures and divisions, but to bring that healing, I had to realize it, through Jesus opening my eyes to it, and repent for being double-minded. I still am double-minded most days, so I repent daily for it and more things. But before I had this revelation, I believed that I was mostly whole after walking for a decade with Jesus Christ. I was not whole. I was poor and blind and wretched, but I believed that I was rich. I believed that I understood this. I did not.
There is no wavering in Him. No division. He is unified within Himself.
Thus, I was burdened with shame and condemnation because I was a Christian who “got it,” but there was mild manifestation in my life of God’s overwhelming power except in certain short periods of time (which I remember distinctly). The greatest news that I have received is that I was poor and blind and even lukewarm. Once I received this news, things could change for me. I was able to repent, but before I received this news, I could not repent and felt stuck. If you are a Christian and feel stuck, just repent. It’s so easy. When you repent, you are humbling yourself before God, and He is able to change you, but if you don’t repent, you become resistant to help from him because of your pride. Whether or not you know it, you have rejected His assistance.
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
Yahweh’s Lexicon is not of this world. He never wavers. He never doubts. He is never unsure. He never struggles to understand faith and works because in Him there is no separation between faith and works. He communicates to us out of our sinful, fractured nature because He loves us and desires to see us whole.
Yahweh’s Lexicon is not of this world.
Receive Yahweh’s Lexicon. His lack of wavering. His lack of lukewarmness. His lack of double-mindedness. Embrace what He has taught you and spoken over you, through His Word and through tested rhema words to you directly. Ask Him for wisdom.
Ask Him to give you His Lexicon so that you may be made whole.
When we approach Father God, speaking as He would speak, doing as He would do, when we use His Lexicon of faithfulness, we approach Him in the way that He desires and make ourselves much more desirable to Him. He is waiting for us to present ourselves to Him this way, without double-mindedness and doubt and wavering in our communication with Him and in our prayers. He wants us to approach Him with the certainty of His expressed will in His Word, with certainty of His character which is expressed in His Word. When we do this, nothing will be impossible for us.
23 And Jesus said to him, “‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”
