Praise and Worship

Aside from prayer, praise is one of the most neglected parts of the Christian Walk. Praise differs from worship in that it is spontaneous and from the heart. Worship is a conduit to Christ. Worship is a means to honor our God and to dance with Him in our Spirit and Soul. Praise is more akin to prayer but with an aspect of worship added in. Praise is an acknowledgement of The Almighty and proclaiming His place, power, and person in the universe. To praise is to lift up your lips and to say in poetic or prose words that God is great! That the almighty is worthy and deserves all honor and recognition.

Worship is like praise in that if puts The Lord God first. However, praise is a disposition that only the created can take. Praise is a prayer that proclaims God as sovereign and just. Praise acknowledge our state, that like King Nebecunezzer we are merely men, and The Almighty is the author and arbiter of all things! The Lord God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is ruler and maker of all things! Praising Him is to profess who God is.. and to humbly with love admit and confess that only He deserves worship, honor, glory, and devotion.

I was most impressed by the film The Book of Daniel. In the movie, Daniel is ever praising and praying to The Lord. Daniel says, "I extol you O Lord! I shall praise you with my lips evermore! I shall proclaim you name to my brothers!" Yes, we should proclaim Christ's name! His praises should perpetually be on our tongues! The act of saying the true names of God carries a power and usher His divine presence! Just as if you talks about depressing and morbid things, the mood of your surroundings changes so does it when you call on the Name of The Lord! He is worthy of praise! Our souls sing and heart leap if we would but praise The Almighy One! Praise is the pathway to His presence and the peace beyond understanding. When we throw off our own self involved nature and turn instead to the Eternal Creafor and Savior with praises, our hearts begin to change and the circumstances around us will change if even just that we now see our Lord and not the heavy lot and lingering hardships.

Magnify The Lord! Let Him be praised in our hearts, words, and actions! Each breath should do Him reverence and let no unwholesome thing come forth, but only honor and glory to Elohim: to The Trinity! Amen.

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These w

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come and died for our sins an

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times). This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek. If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous. Aramaic is disappearing, only a few people are endeavo
