The Lord's Theme For The Year

The Lord has crowned the year (2011) with His goodness and caused us to walk in His paths that drips with His fatness (Psalm 65:11)

Am I a Hebrew language student?

I know some of my readers had been asking me whether I am a student of the Hebrew language and my honest answer would be, 'No'. What I do dabble with occasionally are some of the common phrases and what I had learnt from my own pastors especially my Senior Pastor Joseph Prince. Now he is truly a Hebrew language exponent.

So what do I mean when I use certain terms like when I greet you, "Shalom" or when I say, "Shalom Bokertov" or when I sign off as "Shalom, Shavrou-tov"?
"Shalom" - peace, wholeness, health, prosperity, completeness
"Shalom Bokertov" - peace in the morning or good morning
"Shalom Shavrou-tov" - peace for the week or have a blessed week

Of course some of the Hebrew words which I quoted in my earlier posts are from the on-line bibles and you can find pretty good help at "Bible-Corsswalk" (which I have included in my Favourite Links on the left column). Do your word search using the option "NAS with Strong's Number" and then you will see some of the words highlighted in blue and underlined. Click on these words and a separate page will come up with all the explanation of the Hebrew including the phonics.

So go ahead, enjoy your on-line search and be blessed...

A New Believer's Prayer

Thank you Father for loving us so much that You sent Your precious Son Jesus Christ to this world to die for all our sins. I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior.
Thank you that all my sins have been nailed to the Cross on Jesus at His death and because He died in our place, I am now saved forever. I have been made righteous in Your sight because of what Jesus did and I can now enjoy Your blessings over my life. Thank you for the privilege of being called Your Child and for the Gift of Your Holy Spirit in my life. AMEN
