Have Dominion

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Have Dominion:  in Genesis 1:26, 28 is “radah” (raw-daw) signifying God openly decreed He intended to “let man have complete dominion” to exercise over all other earthly creatures He created as well as all those creeping about in the darkness. Have Dominion:  as “radah” declared sovereign God gave man all the power, authority and liberty to be able to go overtake; tread down; subjugate; prevail against and so reign over that any resistance to his rule would essentially crumble! It signified Adam as them; would be totally made…

Be at Peace; Darkness is Divided

Be At Peace; Darkness is Divided! 1. This is our third installment of this series Havilah’s Prepared Places. We’ve considered the profound movements of the Spirit of God revealed as having been very present though the crisis and chaos that resulted from His having cast Lucifer down. 2.  We learned God ousted Lucifer from his privileged assigned position of inhabiting His presence. Why? Because he’d foolishly begun to think more highly of himself than he ought. a)   But today consider Lucifer’s name meant; “light bringer; son of the morning; brilliant or morning star. It reflected the perfection, beauty, and power of his giftedness; his extraordinary wisdom and exalted influential leadership position as heaven’s worship leader. All this God had given Lucifer to reflect His light. b)    But Lucifer’s fall from grace and his strategic, coveted place of influence, access, and…

Can You See Him?

Can you “see” Him? He moves in the quietness and confidence of knowing all that His being Sovereign God means! Can you "see" Him? See Him as revelatory; as He causes a literal dynamic shaking up to occur just by His showing up! See Him yet as being deliberate; and decisive in moving as only He can; already knowing the beginning from His expected ends for all things as His! See Him moving upon; causing the face of the waters to literally boil up in an anticipation of what He’d say as the light caused darkness to have to back up on its own. See Him; as all this happens though He hasn’t opened His mouth to utter a thing yet; just manifested Himself in His revelatory light! He just showed up moving spiritually and dynamically; hovered in a brooding that…

Great Effectual Door

1 Corinthians 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. Great Door:  in 1 Corinthians 16:9 is “megas-thura”; signifying exceedingly great, greatest; extremely high or the mightiest of doors. It also signifies literal as well as figurative gates serving as portals, entrances or openings as well as separating closures. Great Door:  implies a God-given opportunity to enter in a “great and effectual door” God opens for us to be abundantly profitable and extremely useful in and to His Kingdom. However, it is also a given that there would be “many adversaries” waiting to challenge our entering in especially with intention of going on through! Effectual:  is the word “energees” which can be used to mean sufficient to be able to produce the desired effect; here it implies much energy and labor must…

God Moves Despite Darkness

Have you seen days when darkness seems to try and lay upon all that concerns you as you try to negotiate the spiritual waters of deep things we all face? Have you ever pulled back; dreaded to step out in faith as fierce waves of the deep; obscure all signs of spiritual light?  This picture represents all such discouragements!

Even when we try to behave wisely and focus on being more spiritual minded than carnal; works of darkness magnify themselves the more. They mock discerning faith by asking; “what cha praying for; the problem or issue is all you”?

This series of “Havilah Prepared Places”, is designed to be encouragement despite such extremes as we learn to press to know God enough to recognize and trust His faithfulness.  There’s nothing new under the sun! As God moved and revealed Havilah; where He produced prepared places; He continues moving today. Thus; consider “In the Beginning” to see many revelatory concepts gained. (more…)

Bring Forth & God Made

Consider; God spoke “let them bring forth” as three phases of Creation. Here again, we see His working is intricately detailed and extremely progressive. 3rd Bring Forth:  in Genesis 1:24 it’s “yatsa'” (yaw-tsaw') here God literally speaks all creatures set to inhabit the earth into existence; then commanded them to be fruitful and begin to procreate. It signifies God said let a wriggling and swarming begin to abound; let breeding take place and bring forth abundant increase. It actually signifies God commanded the animals to “let there be a going after and unto that brings out of and causes a brand new appearing to be seen." Thus, for the first time since prehistoric earth’s days; God causes begetting as the reproductive union between mammals to be experienced again in the earth. The ordered concept of “bring forth” defines three different…

Leadership Learned from Rocky

I must confess, I am a big Rocky fan!
Not as in rocky road ice cream but Rocky Balboa, the boxer played in the ‘Rocky’ movies by Sylvester Stallone.
rockyThe writers of this champion-birthing series crafted Rocky’s journey to make us love him and deeply relate to the personal ups and downs of an undeniable leader in his boxing world.
I was caught up and inspired again by “Creed”, the 7th movie in the ‘Rocky’ series where Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) finds himself training his former rival and friend, Apollo Creed’s son as a young boxer.

In the movie, Rocky is old and out of shape. He is looked on fondly by many as once a great fighter and leader but not anymore.

What he doesn’t realize, at the time, is that though a leader’s body may age, their heart does not. (more…)

Bring Forth To Rule

God’s working is best seen and appreciated in the revelatory Light He is, and in being sovereign sends forth upon the earth when and as He wills! God Made:   as “asah” signifies what God made; He appointed to stand and be well able; to grow, advance, and even busy itself by being apt; unusually qualified; to continue becoming as made to. The rhetorical question Balaam asked prophetically; “has He said and shall He not do it or spoken and shall He not make it good”; speaks to how absolute the spiritually dynamic paradigm of ordered change He established in Creation is. 1st Bring Forth:     in Genesis 1:11 it is the word “dasha'” (daw-shaw'); God said it was to take root; to sprout; to spring forth suddenly from. It still does that; one minute a tree is bare; next morning…

God Made

He literally altered the entire situation of the anomalies seen in the earth and being formless, void and full of the darkness that was upon the face of the deep! As God spoke and thus "made" or "asah'd"; He literally called those things that be not as though they were; and what? And it was so! Even though things didn’t look good in Genesis 1:2 yet just because God is; and was that very present help; it was all good! God Made:  appears for the first time in Genesis 1:7 as “asah” and points to the powerful, extremely intricate, detailed working God always brings to bear in all things He says and does. God Made:   is also in John 1:1-5 “ginomai” (ghin'-om-ahee); revealing Jesus as the same Light without which nothing was made. It signifies He generates; He causes a…
