Ahava - What Does It Mean? (Hebrew word)

The word "AHAVA" in Hebrew 

- love in English

Love, Jewish Style By Ahuva Bloomfield Hebrew, as one may know, is considered by the Bible to be the first language. It is the language through which God spoke in creating the world. Hence, Hebrew was not just created by God, but utilized by God in creating the world. Much wisdom is attributed to the words and letters in the Hebrew language. Understanding the concepts that are invested in words can aid us in our own lives. As an interesting example, the word "love" which is thrown about so freely in English, has a special meaning in Hebrew. Love in Hebrew is "Ahava" , which is made up of three basic Hebrew letters, . These three letters actually are broken down into two parts: a two letter base or root, , and the first letter, , which is a modifier. The meaning of the two letter base, , is "to give". The letter "aleph" , which precedes these two letters comes to modify the meaning of the base word, "give". The meaning of , is "I give" and also "love". We now see the connection between the two words, "I give" and "love". Love is giving. Now only is love giving, but the actual process of giving develops the very connection between the giver and the receiver. There is no greater giving than that of a husband and wife. Each one gives to the other. The more giving that one does, the greater is the connection. Why? The process of giving is a vehicle through which the giver through his act of giving is able to, through a physical gift (or even a verbal comment), give of himself to another. This act of giving something is not merely helping another. For sure, giving is helping another, but it is much more than that. Giving is a method that enables us to make a connection to another. When we give to another, that which we give to him/her, could have been utilize to further our own self. In stead, we choose to take this object, which could have been utilized for our own needs and instead, use it for someone else. Giving is a condition that creates and sustains love. With out giving, there is no connection that is sustaining. The true relationships that our meaningful in our lives are those in which mutual giving takes place. The giving may be physical, emotional, intellectual or a combination. But with out giving from ourselves, no relationship can be enduring. That is the secret of love that is revealed to us by the Hebrew language. This is the secret that is invested in the language by the Creator. Above from the website: Jewishmag.com

Israel's capital - Jerusalem

The dilemma of Israel's capital

Israeli politicians love to praise Jerusalem as “the eternal capital of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.” But these lofty words are not backed up with deeds. Despite an official decision in 2008 to move all government ministries to Jerusalem within eight years, little if anything has been done.

“They only talk about Jerusalem, nothing more,” Jerusalem attorney Amnon Lorch told Israel Today. “Netanyahu himself has a private beach house in Caesarea, rather than in Jerusalem. Officials prefer the cultural and nightlife in Tel Aviv.”

If the government fails to establish its offices in Jerusalem, it should not be surprised that the world does recognize the city as the capital of Israel.

Incredible Prophecy: "Hear the Clock Ticking! You Have Been Catapulted Into the Three Years Ahead!" - Chuck D. Pierce

Chuck D. Pierce

Incredible Prophecy: "Hear the Clock Ticking! You 

Have Been Catapulted Into the Three Years Ahead!"

I know that so many of you have enjoyed watching the webcast replays from our Head of the Year 5774. Below is some of the prophetic revelation that came forth during our gatherings. Let this be a time you are propelled into your future and press through every gate of destiny!

"The Kingdoms of this Earth Are Becoming My Kingdoms!"

"Hear the clock ticking, for I have now catapulted you into the three years ahead.

"This month, the dearest of My months, I am moving you against gates that have never been moved against before. I am causing these gates that have withstood you in the past to come loose and open in days ahead! Move strategically day-by-day and month-by-month until the gate that has held back your blessing opens up. If you will move now, within the next three years the land you find yourself in will be producing great treasures.

"In the third year, the War of the Kingdoms will begin, and Kingdom will rise against kingdoms. The kingdoms of this world will also come into great conflict. I have a Kingdom that I am preparing. I will remember this Kingdom and the Seed and the Seed's seed of this Kingdom. I have a Kingdom that will triumph!

"Shout that the kingdoms of this earth are becoming My Kingdoms! Decree that the prisoners will be let go and they will come back to My house; this is a season when My altar will be filled! I'm going to open your eyes to those around you, and you're going to say, 'They're of a different kingdom.' And I will say to you, 'They are Mine! Bring them in now!'

"Beyond the gates, I am opening up new highways. I am beginning a highway out of Egypt! I will redo the highway that you're presently walking on.

"The demons that have been trafficking and even creating trafficking throughout the earth, I Am now going to un-nest their headquarters. That which the enemy meant to destroy through trafficking, I will raise up as an unstoppable army in the days ahead, for that generation will be My generation! I call you, 'My Army that is Unstoppable!' I call you, 'My Kingdom Swarm,' and you shall invade the kingdoms of the earth. You shall extract that which is needed and you will bring it into My Kingdom.

"You'll Hear of Shakings From North to West!"

"I will surprise you with the leaders of nations. I have ways to cause leaders that have been promoted to bow their knees. You will think they're going one way, but you watch Me knock the feet out from under them; you watch them see Me in a way they've never seen Me before!

"Make 'favor' with those that come onto your highway. Many of you will say, 'But they have evil character.' Just remember, I can cause every Pharaoh in this land and the lands that you're a part of to favor you in days ahead!

"You'll hear of shakings from north to west! You'll hear that I have come from Alaska to Maine to shake. But know this: I will shake the center of this nation called the United States of America. I will cause that which has been hidden and controlling the forces of this land to shake down!

"A new baptism I'll give you, and My very finger I will place in My people's keeping. When you point your finger, demons will flee!

"In this year of honey, I will cause a new hunger to arise throughout the lands for My Word. And where you have known My Word in the past, you will taste and see My Word in a different way!"

Accessing Your New Door of Opportunity!

This is a time to access your destiny for the next three years. On Sunday morning, I look forward to ministering during our Celebration Service on "Accessing Your New Door of Opportunity!"

Blessings,

Jerusalem March report from Israel Today & JERUSALEM-ON-THE-LINE

Christians part of huge Jerusalem March turnout

Thursday, September 26, 2013 |  Israel Today Staff

Over 60,000 people took part in the annual Jerusalem March held each year during the biblical festival of Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. The turnout was nearly double the 32,000 that participated in the event last year.

Israelis from all over the country ascended to Jerusalem for the march, as did thousands of Evangelical Christians from all over the world.

The Christian delegations are always the most colorful part of the march, which winds through the streets of downtown Jerusalem, ending at the walls of the historic Old City.

Israelis are fascinated by the demonstration of support by the Christians, and announcers along the route of the march always make a point of singling out these foreign visitors both in order to express their thanks and to make fellow Israelis aware of what is happening.

For the Christians, participation in the march is a precursor to the fulfillment of Zechariah 14:16-21, which foretells a time when all those remaining from the nations will be required to "go up to Jerusalem" during Sukkot.

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” Rom 12:12

THE END OF A JOYFUL MONTH OF HOLIDAYS: The eight day festival that consists of Succot (Feast of Tabernacles) and Simchat Torah (rejoicing with the Torah) came to a conclusion Thursday night, bringing an end to the month long holiday season and starting the regular year. In Israel, a popular expression is "Acharei Hachagim" - lets' wait till after the holidays - as the entire country seems to put off whatever it can from Rosh Hashanah, (Jewish New Year) until the day after Simchat Torah. Succot marks the last of three yearly pilgrimage festivals to Jerusalem and the Holy Temple - preceded by Pesach and Shavuot. (INN)

Robert Stearns: Open Gates and the Power of Imagination

Robert Stearns:

Open Gates and the Power of Imagination

Word of the Lord received on September 6, 2013, while in Sedona, AZ:

A Vision of Ancient Gates

I was caught up in the Spirit, and I was brought to a place with enormous Ancient Gates. The gates were covered over by debris and overrun by neglect.

The gates were enormous and were guarding access to a place of great authority and power. The question rose in my heart, "What can it be that these Gates guard and release?"

As I stood before the Gates, the wind of God began to blow upon them. Stronger and with increasing force, the breath of God began to blow away the debris that was covering the Gates.

As the Wind increased with greater force, I saw the name of the Gates that were written at the top of them. IMAGINATION was the name of these Ancient Gates.

As the breath of God breathed on them, all of a sudden, the word NATION became highlighted and glowing bright.

After a few moments, the word IMAGE began to glow with intensity, with even greater glory than the word NATION.

Finally, the full word, IMAGINATION was pulsing with a living light.

Creativity and the Power of Imagination

I heard the Spirit of The Lord say:

"Access to Creativity and the Power of Imagination, which is a gift from Me, has been in large measure locked up and withheld by the spirit of religion and earthly wisdom. The healing and blessing of Imagination, which I have created humanity with a great capacity for, has been locked up and minimized and perverted."

"But now," says The Lord, "I will open these Ancient Gates to My people. Two things will happen as these gates open. First, I will gather together My people as a Holy NATION unto Me. A global Holy Nation will gather together to the sound and light of Holy Imagination. Their peoplehood and unity and oneness will be restored as they think My thoughts and dream My dreams again."

"Second, I will release the authority for a restoration of the Image of God into the heart of humanity. 

For I, The Lord, have created humanity in My image, holy and pleasing to Me. As the anointing of Imagination is released with great impact now, the Image of My children will be healed. Places of great brokenness and pain will be restored in a moment as the glory of Holy Imagination is released."

The Lord is opening the Ancient Gates of the Power of Imagination. As this generation is flooded with this anointing, a Holy Nation will be called together, and the image of God will be restored where there has been pain and brokenness.

Western Wall prayer

May You hear the supplications of  Your servant and of Your people Israel,  which they shall pray in this place. II CHRONICLES (6:21) וְשָׁמַעְתָּ אֶל תַּחֲנוּנֵי עַבְדְּךָ וְעַמְּךָ  יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר יִתְפַּלְלוּ  אֶל הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְאַתָּה  תִּשְׁמַע מִמְּקוֹם שִׁבְתְּךָ מִן הַשָּׁמַיִם וְשָׁמַעְתָּ וְסָלָחְתָּ דברי הימים ב ו:כא ve-sa-ma-TA el ta-kha-noo-NIE av-de-KHA ve-am-KHA yees-ra-ALE ah-SHAREyeet-pa-le-LOO el ha-ma-KOME ha-ZEH ve-ah-TA teesh-MA meem-KOME sheev-te-KHA meen ha-sha-ma-YEEM ve-sha-ma-TA ve-sa-lakh-TA

Jerusalem Inspiration There is a special character to the city of Jerusalem which brings out the inner most prayers and supplications, even from the most skeptical individuals. The transcending power of praying together with thousands of other people to the God of Israel at the Western Wall is a unique experience that everyone should try and have at least once in their lifetime.
