Comprehend it Not

Comprehend:  in John 1:5, and the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not  is “katalambano” (kat-al-am-ban'-o); it signifies darkness as evil thinking to be present with God while yet exalting itself to overthrow Him; couldn’t grasp the way to avoid; control or make “light” his own. Comprehend it not:  signifies Lucifer couldn’t prevent, hinder or thwart God’s light from exposing his darkness. There is a darkness rebellion creates within hearts of anyone foolish enough to entertain darkened vain thoughts and not reject and cast them down. Romans 1:2 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. The Light revealed Lucifer’s stubborn rebellious heart even though he was touted as one of God’s greatest works in the heavens! Lucifer’s dark…

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…

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…
