All right, welcome again as we have our teachings on Hebrew, the living letters. This is an in-depth series on the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and as we look at these letters, our minds are being renewed to the Hebraic concepts found within Yahweh's wonderful letters. It's not just letters, is it? This is a message from beyond, a word of hope, a word of encouragement, a word that Yahweh has given us through these letters. And so with the letters, they begin very much like A, B, C, D, E, F, G, aleph, bet, gimel, daleth, hey. Similar, at least, the aleph, the bet, the gimel, the first three letters of the Hebrew alphabet. As we're going through these letters, we see that in Psalm 119, it is a huge, long poem about the letters of the alphabet, and every seven to eight verses begins with a different letter. Then you have the aleph, the bet, the gimel, the daleth, the hey, the vav, and the seventh letter is the zayin, the eighth letter is the khet, the ninth letter the ket, the tenth letter is yo, the most used letter in all of the Hebrew language. The koth is the eleventh letter, the twelfth letter is the lamed, which is a picture of a cattle prod or so. The twelfth letter is the mim, and we recently learned about the nun, which was a picture of a fish, spoke to us about the inheritance, we heard about the fall of the philem, we talked about fifty, fifty generations, and we talked about the jubilee year and all of that. So that list of letters, aleph, bet, gimel, daleth, hey, vav, zayin, khet, ket, yod, koth, lamed, mim, nun, brings us to what? The next letter, which is psalmic. Everybody say psalmic. Psalmic. Say it again. Psalmic. These are not just letters though, these are the building blocks of the universe. So take for a moment and look at your hand, look at your hand, and look at it, try to get real close to it, and see if you can see any letters. Do you see any letters? I see some hairs. I see some dirt. What do you see? When you look at your hand, you see some lines, you might see, you know, different colored skin or some cells or maybe a hangnail. If you look at your hand, in reality, and by the way, your hand has twenty-seven bones in it, which is amazing, but you look at your hand and you're actually looking at Hebrew letters. This is what this is. That's what everything is made of in the universe. From the computer to the wall is Hebrew letters. Now, how can I say that? There was nothing, and in the very beginning, Yahweh said, let there be light, and there was light, and let there be this, and there was this, and let there be that, and there was that. Everything was created by the spoken word. Everything came from the spoken words of Yahweh, and we know that Yahweh, at creation, spoke Hebrew. So when you go down to what your hand actually is, okay, it's a bunch of cells together. It goes back down, what is a cell? And you learn that the atoms and everything that makes up that cell, and the power that holds that together is the power of the universe, the power of Yahweh being manifest, it's building blocks of the universe. And as we as Israel begin to recognize the letters and the meanings behind them, it's like a treasure chest. My kids love stories of pirates, and there's always a story of a treasure chest. And when you look at these treasure chests, every single Hebrew letter is a treasure chest or a message for us. And this week's letter is the psalmic, and it is a pretty amazing letter. It's the 14th Hebrew letter, and it's the number 60. So what number is the psalmic? It's the number 60. From 1 to 10, it's aleph, bet, gemel, dalet, hey, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. At 10, which is a yod, they then count by tens. Then once we get to 100, the letters act as hundreds. We'll discuss that as we go along, and as we have a lesson on gematria as well. So the psalmic is the 14th Hebrew letter and the number 60. And in cursive writing, if you were to look at a psalmic, it looks just like a circle. It looks just like a circle. In the block print, it is rounded. Now the psalmic is similar to the memsophete. Don't get confused, because the psalmic has its own special meaning. If you look at a memsophete, it looks like a square. If you're writing it in Hebrew, it's just going to basically draw a square. That's what that is. So the psalmic is similar on the top, but then rounded on the edges and on the end. So don't get confused. The psalmic has a special meaning for us. However, if you look at the memsophete, you look at the psalmic, they look almost identical. So what can we learn from that? First of all, I want to tell you, don't lose the meaning of the psalmic, because the meaning of the psalmic is special. There's a Hebrew word called soth, which is the Hebrew word for the secret or the mythical understanding of Torah. The psalmic is like a secret for us that we can understand and see, because the letter is actually found four times within the Hebrew scrolls by itself. It's just there, symbolic of a word, of the word psalmic. So if you're reading the Bible in Hebrew, as you're reading through it, you're going to find four times the letter psalmic, all by itself, like a word. Like a word. Now why is that? Have you ever seen it before? Have you ever seen the psalmic in your King James Version Bible? No. We read in English. We miss much. A lot has been lost in translation. So the psalmic, it's a Hebrew word, and the letter itself, the word itself means to uphold, to sustain, to stand fast, or to support. So it means to support, psalmic, actually it's spelled psalmic mem kaf sofit, if you'd like to spell it in Hebrew, psalmic mem kaf sofit, and it means to uphold, to sustain, to establish, to help. That's what the letter actually means for us. So let's look at a couple of these verses and look at where the psalmic is found in the Hebrew all by itself. In Psalm 111 verse 8, turn with me to the book of Tehillim, 111 verse 8. Now Psalm 111 is really nice. It begins with hallelujah, I will praise Yahweh with my whole heart in the assembly of the upright and the congregation, and it goes on as a psalm of prayer and praise, and in verse 8 it says, they stand fast forever and ever and are done in truth and righteousness and uprightness. So what is this that stands fast forever? Look at verse 7, the works of His hands are true and just and all of His commandments are sure. So it's speaking about the works of His hands and His commandments. Then it says, verse 8, they stand fast forever and are done in truth and uprightness. The word translated there for stand fast, you read in your King James, your other versions you may have, that says stand fast is the word psalmic. It's that letter there saying they psalmic, they. What is they? It's talking about the commandments and the hands, the works of Yahweh's hands. Turn to the next chapter, chapter 112 verse 8, look at verse 6, a good man shall not be moved forever. The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in Yahweh. Verse 8, his heart is established. His heart is psalmic. He shall not be afraid until he sees his desire upon his enemies. Again, the word psalmic, the letter psalmic is found here, meaning established. Do you see it? Look at verse, look at chapter 119, turn to chapter 119, and then to Helam, Psalm 119 verses 113 through 120 all begin with the letter psalmic. What's interesting here that the word psalmic is actually found, Psalm 119 verse 16, uphold me according to thy word that I may live and let me not be ashamed of my hope. The word therefore uphold is the word psalmic, psalmic me, say it with me, psalmic me according to thy word that I may live and let me not be ashamed according to my hope. And finally, one more place in the scriptures where psalmic is found. To Helam or Psalm 145 verse 14, 145 verse 14, this letter, this word is actually found in the Hebrew scrolls, and it says here, Yahweh upholdeth all that fall and raiseth up all that those who are bowed down, Yahweh upholds all that fall and raiseth up all those who are bowed down. The word for upholdeth is psalmic. Now we learned recently with the letter of the noon, remember how it had two forms, it had the regular form and then it had the straight form. And we talked about how we fall and we fail, greatness comes from a fall. And that the righteous man falls seven times. So humble yourself on the side of Yahweh and he will raise you up. The psalmic continues this, Yahweh psalmics all that fall and raise up all that are bowed down. Yahweh upholds you when you fall, Yahweh is your helper, Yahweh is your strength, Yahweh is there to support you, to stand fast, to establish you. That's the meaning of the psalmic. So what does the psalmic mean? It means to support, it means to help. Now the psalmic in paleo Hebrew was once written like a shield originally. Now you could picture it like a T with a line underneath the T getting smaller and another line underneath the T getting smaller, maybe a power line, like an antenna, is what the psalmic was originally written as. And then it turned into a shield of modern day weaponry, the round shield where sealed would go upon. So if you look at the paleo Hebrew of the psalmic, it was a shield. Yahweh is our shield, Yahweh is our psalmic, he is our support. The psalmic is symbolic of how Yahweh is our circle of protection and shield of adversity. If you were to write the psalmic again in cursive Hebrew, it's basically a circle. Doesn't it say that in the Psalms? Thou Yahweh are a shield for me, the glory and the lifter of my head. So whatever you face, whatever you go through, whatever problem you have, Yahweh is there with you. Yahweh is going through that with us. Reminds me of a story I heard, a fish tale, about these three guys. They were fishing in a lake one day, and they're there fishing and they're doing their thing and out walks the Savior, walking on water, coming to their boat. Did you read this? I think this was in the Gospel of, not in the Bible. And he went over, he walked over to the boat, they were there fishing, and he joined them in the boat. Three guys. They were astonished. They settled down, they couldn't even speak. So finally, the first guy got up enough nerves, and he said, wow, it's the Savior, it's the Messiah. He said, listen, I've suffered from back pain ever since I took a shrapnel in the Vietnam War. Could you please help me? Guess what the Savior said? Of course, my son. He touched the man's back and he felt relief instantly. For the first time in years, he was healed. He said, glory, hallelujah. The second guy, he wore really, really thick glasses, like bottle glasses, you know what I'm talking about? Like Coke bottle glasses. They were big. And he had a hard time reading and driving and just doing anything. So he asked the Savior, he said, if you could do anything about my poor eyesight. The Savior just smiled. He removed the man's glasses. He took them off. He realized they were heavy. He tossed them into the lake. And you know what happened? As they're flying through the air, as they go through the air, as they hit the water, when the instant the glasses hit the water, the man's eyes cleared, he could see everything distinctly and clearly. It was a miracle. The third guy sitting there and his heart starts beating, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. He's just getting all, you know, getting all excited. The Savior turns to him. He puts, he puts out his hands. He says, my son. And the guy stands up. He puts out his hands. He says, don't touch me. Don't touch me. Get away from me. I get a disability check. Now, that's not funny, but that's too true, isn't it? Isn't that a true story? But there are some people out there, they just don't want the help. You might have the Savior himself standing there saying, I can help you. And they say, no, no, no. I can do it myself. I'll do it. I'm alone. I'd rather do it alone. Or you know what? I'm going to figure it out. I don't need your help. I don't need Yahweh. I'm God. I'm God. Whatever. Come on. But even us as believers, sometimes we get to where, hey, hey, hey, back up. Back up now. I can handle this. Yahweh, yeah. I'll pray when I get done. I'm too busy to pray right now. Or I've got this problem. And you know what's so bad? Sometimes we go through a problem or a pain or a sickness, and we're so used to A, medicine, B, complaining, or C, fill in the blank, we don't even stop to pray. We don't even stop to say, Yahweh, help me. Now we laugh at that guy, but aren't we like him sometimes? No, no, no, no, no. Let me wallow first. I want my pity party. Before I get healed, let me complain for three days. Listen, I've been there. I've done that. We've all done that. But the Word tells us, in the book of John, in the book of John, it's an amazing verse, and we've seen it and we've read it over and over and over and over again. It says that the Word, John 1, verse 14, the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. What Word? What Word was made flesh? The prophetic Word, the Word that Yahweh spoke, the Hebraic Word, the Hebrew Word, were made flesh and dwelt among us. Yeshua is the Word made flesh. Amen? I said, Amen? If Yeshua is the Word made flesh, being the Word, the Torah, the Hebrew letters, Yeshua is the alphabet made flesh. If He's the Word made flesh, He's the alphabet made flesh. If Yeshua is the Word made flesh, but He's the alphabet made flesh, that means Yeshua is the psalmic. Say that with me. Yeshua is the psalmic. He's the psalmic in flesh and blood. Now what did we say the psalmic is? Support. Help. Yeshua is our support and our help. So what I'd like us to do is, for the next few minutes, we're going to look at a couple different times when Yeshua helped people during hard times, because if He did it for them, He can do it for us, and He's done it for us, and He continues to do it for us. Let's look at a couple of places. First of all, you remember the time when there's this girl that died, and Yeshua goes there, and He tells everybody to get out of the room except for Kepha, Peter, James, and John. He takes the girl by the hand. He says that Talitha, Kumai, or whatever it is, little girl, little girl, get up, and immediately she sits up, and everybody just, oh, hallelujah. They get all excited. Remember that? He helped her. He helped their family, and in John chapter 11, we see that Lazarus has been buried. He's been gone for four days. In John chapter 11, He steps forward, and He says something very interesting in John chapter 11. He tells them to take away the stone, and then He gives a prayer. In John 11, verse 41, He said, Take away the stone from there, and Yeshua lifted up His eyes and said, Father, I thank Thee, for Thou hast heard me. I know that Thou hast heard me always, because of the people which stand, I said this, that they may believe that You have sent me. And when thus He had spoken, He cried out with a loud voice, what did He say? Lazarus, come out, come forth. Immediately Lazarus is raised from the dead, and do you know what occurred? When they saw the miracle, what happened to those people there? They became followers, weren't they? I mean, they were seeing is believing. They were like, this is it. The people witnessed for themselves the presence and the power of Yeshua, and they followed Him. Now, for the next few minutes, though, we're going to look at the funeral of a little girl. In Luke chapter 7, excuse me, the funeral of a little boy, a young man, and we're going to look at the pallbearers, and we're going to look at what happened, and how they experienced and how we can experience the presence of Yahweh as our help. In Luke chapter 7, let's look at verse 11. You're going to see that Yahweh, Yeshua, is the psalmic. And it came to pass, Luke 7, 11, and it came to pass the day after that He went to a city called Nain, and many of His disciples went with Him, and much people. Now, if you go back, and you read where He was before, this was an 11-mile journey. An 11-mile journey, and He did not do it in a Lamborghini, okay? He didn't have a Ford to drive, and I doubt His Chevy was working. An 11, a 20-mile journey to a small town, a small village, so He can be there for a woman whose son has died. Think about that. Yeshua went that far for one person. And sometimes we don't feel like He cares for us. He does. He does care for us. He does support us. Sometimes we picture Yahweh as, oh, this lofty being who hides out in heaven with the rest of the angels as we try to figure out our lives. No. This is a beautiful picture of Yeshua walking right into their problem of this woman and her son that has died. Yahweh, Yeshua, was right there in the midst of it, and He actually went out of His way to help her. So here is Melanie, Connie, Wanda, Yahweh goes out of His way to help you and to comfort you. It tells us in Yeshayahu, Isaiah 57, 15, it says that Yahweh lives in a high and holy place, but also with Him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, to revive the heart of the contrite. So somebody says, where is Yahweh when it hurts? Where is God when it hurts? That's when you say, He's right here to help His people. He's right here. Now look at Luke 7, 12. Now when He came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother. She was a widow, and much people of the city were with her. The woman is a widow. What does that mean? She's already experienced loss and death one time before. And now her son has passed. Everyone has gone through some type of loss, spouse, family member, friend. Think about this for a minute. Put yourself in that situation. I mean, it would feel like all hope is gone. It would feel like every bit of faith that you had was lost. First your husband or your spouse passes, then your only child passes. Verse 13, and when the master saw her, he had compassion on her, and he said, don't cry, don't weep. Now I want you to see first, he showed up, that was his presence, then he gave compassion. And he said, don't weep, don't cry. I mean, she probably said, what are you thinking about? I've lost the two people that mean the most to me in my life. I have no way to support myself, I'm going to lose my home, I'm going to lose my car, I'm going to lose everything I have, I'm going to be dependent on charity, and you're telling me not to cry? He said not to cry because he was going to remove the reason why she was crying. When Yeshua shows compassion, he doesn't just say, oh, it's too bad, it's a shame things turned out like this. He does something about it, and he wants to do that in us, and he does that with her. Let's see what he says. Verse 14, and he came and he touched, they that dare him stood still, and he said, young man, I say unto thee, arise. Verse 15, and he that was dead sat up, and he began to speak, and he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on all, and they praised Yahweh, saying that a great prophet is risen up among us, that Elohim has visited his people. He raised this child from the dead. He showed up in the midst of the pain, and he brought resurrection power. He brought life back where there was death. So let me ask you, where is there death? That's where Yahweh wants to bring life in your life, in your existence. Where does it feel like there's no hope? That's where he wants to be the hope. Where does it feel like you're at the end of your rope? That's where he wants to be there with you. No matter what it is, he's there, and that's the psalmic, that's the power of the psalmic. Yahweh is our support. Remember this verse from the book of Exodus? Yahweh said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt. I have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters. I am aware of their sufferings. This was written thousands of years ago, and it's true today. Yahweh is saying that, echoes those words, through the ages. I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt. Are we not in Egypt? Are we not in bondage? I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt. I have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters. I am aware of their sufferings. Yahweh is aware of our sufferings. Do you remember back in the book of 1 Kings when Elijah raised the widow's son from the dead? Remember that? Yeshua did that. If Elijah can do it, and he was a man just like us, and we've got the power of the Ruach in us now, how much more so can Yahweh bring life back into our bodies, into our needs, no matter what problem we may face? He says, I hear you. I've come to help. Let's look at 1 Kings. Speaking of Eliyahu, 1 Kings. Turn with me to 1 Kings chapter 19. 1 Kings 19. Let's look at verse 14. 1 Kings 19 verse 14. He said, I've been very jealous for Yahweh Elohim of hosts. This is Eliyahu speaking. Because the children of Israel have forsaken my covenant, thrown down my altar, slain my prophets with the sword, and I'm only the one left, and they seek my life to take it away. And Yahweh said unto him, Stop with the pity party. Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. And when you come, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria. And Jehu, the son of Nimshi, shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel. And Elisha, the son of Shaphat of Ebomolah, shalt thou appoint to be the prophet in thy room. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay. And him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. This is the story of Elijah. And he's got his problems. He's running for his life to get away from Queen Jezebel. Ring a bell, Jezebel. And in verse 4 he falls into depression. Look at it. 1 Kings 19. Verse 4, he says, oh, he went a day's journey into the wilderness. He came and sat down under a tree. He requested for himself that he might die. Is it enough now, Yahweh? Take away my life. I'm not better than my father's. He gets depressed. He gets down. He gets frustrated. Can anyone relate? He just says, you know what? I might as well die. I've had enough. I'm ready to go home. I'm ready to see Yeshua. Just put away these cares. Put away these problems. Put away the pain. Put away what the doctor says. Put away the stress. I'm ready to go home. Take my life, he says. But then do you know what happens? Look at verse 7. An angel of Yahweh came to him and touched him and woke him up and said, arise, get up, eat something. Enjoy life. Do you know what angel is? Melechim in Hebrew. It means messenger. Well, guess what? I'm that Melechim today. I'm that angel today. Some of you say, arise, get up, enjoy life. Yes, we get down. Yes, we get depressed. Yes, we just feel like we're the only one left. And we might as well just throw up our hands and say, tired of it? But don't. Don't lose hope. Don't lose hope. Yahweh is with us. Yahweh has come to help his people. And he goes and he says, look, you're not alone. Look at Luke chapter 1. Luke chapter 1 in the Newer Testament. Starting in verse 12 through 20. Another story. Luke chapter 1, verses 12 through 20. When Zechariah saw him, he was troubled and fell upon him. He saw another angel. So the angel said unto him, fear not, Zechariah, for your prayer is heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Yochanan. Thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of Yahweh, and shall neither drink wine nor drink strong drink. He shall be filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, even from his mother's womb. And many of the children of Israel shall turn to Yahweh their Elohim. Verse 17. And he shall go before him in the spirit and the power of Eliyahu, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for Yahweh. And Zechariah said to the angel, how am I going to know this? For I am an old man, my wife is well stricken in years. And the angel answering him said, I am Gavriel. I stand in the presence of Elohim. I am sent to speak unto you thee, to show you these glad tidings. Behold, you shall be dumb, you shall not be able to speak until the day that these things are performed, because you did not believe my words. And you shall be fulfilled in their season. For years and years and days and days and seasons, Zechariah and Elizabeth prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed for a little child. And the angel says, not only are you going to have a child, you're going to have one that brings forth the Messiah. And do you see how he replies? He doesn't believe it. What good is it to pray if we're not going to believe it? He says, I don't believe you. Yeah, you look like an angel. Perhaps you're a hologram. You haven't had those 2,000 years ago. He says, I don't believe you. And he says, okay, you're going to be stricken. You're not going to be able to speak until this comes to pass. He had given up hope. And then at the sight of hope, he was silenced. I pray we're not like that. That when we have hope brought to us, that we say, praise Yahweh, because you know what? Look at verse 68. Luke chapter 1, verse 68. Guess what he does say? Blessed be Yahweh of Elohim of Israel. He hath visited and redeemed his people. The first words he could say to begin prophesying and saying, Blessed be Yahweh. Yahweh has come to help his people. Yahweh has come to help his people. And the enemy knows if he can get us down and out and depressed, frustrated, that he's won. Look at 1 Corinthians chapter 15. Corinthians 15, verse 3, 4, and 5. This is Paul speaking. Rav Sholoi says, I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how the Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures. He was buried. He rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve. After that, he was seen of about five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain unto the present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James, then of all the apostles. And last of all, he was seen of me also as one born out of due time. He appeared to all these people, Peter and James, to the twelve, five hundred. Why does he go through all that? Why does he go through all that? Because he's come to help his people. Each one of them needed a personal visitation of Yeshua that day, and we may need it this day, and he's provided it. He's provided it through his Word. He's provided it through each other. Because if you are the psalmic, if Yahweh is the psalmic, then you are the psalmic. Yeshua meets our needs, and he meets us at our place of need, in time, every time. Yahweh is here to help us. Sometimes you get an opportunity to say that to someone. They're frustrated, they're down. Just simply say this, Yahweh's here to help you. And if you can't say it audibly, send them a card. Don't opt for an email, send them a real card if you can. If you have to send them an email, say, you know what, Yahweh's here to help you. I'm praying for you. And then when it's time, share that. Yahweh is here to help us. Sometimes we're like that little boy who was sitting in church one day. The preacher was going on and on and on about how great heaven would be. He talked about streets of gold, talked about the angels, talked about seeing Yeshua face to face. He concluded the message, and he asked the members of the congregation, raise their hands in the air, who wanted to go to heaven? And everybody's hand went in the air, except for that one little boy. He just sat there looking scared. Preacher bent down and said, Son, don't you want to go to heaven one day? Don't you want to go to heaven one day? And the little boy said, Oh yeah, I do, but I thought you were getting up a load right now. The point is, Yahweh has plans for our future. So do we trust Him for our future? Elijah just said, just kill me now. I'm done. Isaiah 29-11 says, I know the plans I think about you, says Yahweh. I know the thoughts I think about you. Thoughts of peace, not evil, to give you a good hope in the end. We are here to help the psalmic others, to replicate the psalmic. Now the psalmic is the number 60. It's not just the letter or the message of support. It's also the number 60. There's 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour. So 60 is the number of life cycles. 60 is the number of life cycles. You look at a clock, it goes from cycle to cycle, to different cycles of life. Think about this. How could Yeshua raise the dead? How could it occur? How was He able to raise the dead? And I submit to you today that it's through the psalmic. We look at our clock, you know, we want to punch the clock. Sometimes we want to punch the boss, but sometimes we actually want to punch the clock. We just want to leave and get it over with, right? We look at the clock and we count it down, and everything's based on 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day. If I just had one more hour of sleep, one more hour of rest, one more hour of this, one more of that. We look at our life, we judge it by that. I don't think Yeshua lived his life that way. He wasn't in a hurry. It took a couple days to get to Lazarus. He was at the right place at the right time. He went 20 miles to go see a woman who'd lost her son and lost her husband, and he will be there for us at the right time. Think about it. Revelation 1.8. Yeshua is speaking. Revelation 1.8, he says, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, says Yahweh El, which is, which was, which is to come. That's what the King James says. But we know that Yeshua did not speak Greek, did he? Right. He went into the synagogues, he spoke to them in Hebrew. It says he read from the Hebrew Torah scroll. And so he couldn't have said, I'm the Alpha and the Omega. Those are the first and the last Greek letters of their alphabet. Most likely, he said, I am the Aleph and the Tav. I'm the Aleph, the first Hebrew letter. I am the Tav, the last Hebrew letter. It'd be like him saying, I am the A to Z. I'm the beginning and the end. I am the first and the last. Who is and who is to come. Now Einstein helped us understand that time is relative. He might not have understood it, that it's a spiritual principle. Time is relative. Yahweh stands outside of time, does he not? Time is just here on earth. 24 hours, that just means the earth is turned. We're in time, going around the sun, we say, or so. And this occurs. That's how we get our solar years, our years and our days. All based on this earth. Yahweh stands outside of time. And you see, in reality, when he resurrected that boy, how could he raise the dead? Because Yeshua stood outside of reality. He stood outside of time and was able to bring life back into this child. That's the clock. And Yeshua watches us. Because he's already done it. He's already given us support and help and everything that we need. Think about it. Today I was looking for a marker. And I needed this marker to write on some CDs I'd made and I'm looking all over the house. Inside and outside, I go out to my vehicle, I need a permanent marker. It can't be a waterproof marker like we have for the kids so when they draw on the walls and paint murals, we can wash it off. I had to have a permanent black marker. I looked and I looked and I looked. And 15-20 minutes went by and I just finally gave up hope. I stuck my hands in my pocket and just out of despair, I'm like, gosh, I'm frustrated. And there in my pocket was the marker. The whole time. And I stick my hands in my pocket out of frustration and I'm trying to sharpen. And right then, Yahweh said, I am your support. He said, Daniel, so many times we spend all the time looking and looking and looking and praying and hoping and it's already there. We've already got it. I had that marker in my pocket but I didn't realize it. Therefore, I couldn't use it. When we understand that Yahweh has given us his power, he's given us his ruach, he's given us blessings, then we can use it. It wasn't until my time of desperation I stuck my hands in my pockets to give up and there it was. Sometimes we have to be like Elijah, just say, you know what, I'm giving up. And then allow an angel, a messenger to come. Now there's a psalmic word called Soph or Ein Soph in Hebrew. And it means there is not without. If that makes any sense. Ein Soph means the never ending one. Ein Soph is a Hebrew word for Yahweh used by the sages of Judaism, used by the rabbis and it comes to us from Isaiah, the book of Isaiah chapter 46. And in Isaiah chapter 46 we see this concept and this idea. So many people, especially, I would never say the Baptists, but so many people, and I would never say the Methodists, so many people and I would never say, never say the Catholics, saying that they have God all figured out. Wrapped around a little pinky, we know this doctrine, we know this theology, they know what the Sunday school teacher says. But look at Psalm, excuse me, look at Isaiah 46 verse 9 and 10. Remember the former things of old, for I am El, there is none else. I am Elohim, there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, the ancient times, the things that are not yet done, saying my counsel shall stand, I will do all my pleasure. He's the eternal one. He's infinite. He's boundless. The minute we try to define Yahweh, He is not Ein Soph. Let that soak in. The minute we try to define Him, He is not Ein Soph anymore. He's undefinable. So how do we understand Him? How do we comprehend Him? How do we know Him? Through His attributes, through His word. Yahweh is the only one who can know the absolutes of the future. Did you know that? He knows. But it doesn't mean that there's this magical billboard up in heaven that says, Melody, your life is going to be boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. He doesn't know what's going to be. He stands outside of time. He says, Melody, I'm here to help you. Joshua, I'm here to help you no matter what you go through. Take away this principle today. When we support and help those less fortunate, we are acting like the psalmic. And Yahweh has already given us blessing and victory, support, anything that we need, and now we're called to give it to others, to help others. We don't have to be looking for something that we already have. We've heard it. Philippians 4.19, Yahweh shall supply all my needs according to His riches and glory. That's where our needs are met, by His riches and glory. And trusting Him for that. Salvation, healing, power, blessing, support, love, wealth, peace, whatever it is, He's given it to us. Our job is to trust Him and lean on Him. What does it say? Proverbs 3. Trust Yahweh with all your heart. Have you been there before where you didn't know how the bill was going to get paid? And you're just saying, Yahweh, You've got it all. You've got a cattle on a thousand hilltops. Just bring one of those cows this way. I just need one. I don't need a thousand. And you open up the mailbox, or somebody shakes your hand, or a gift is given, or somehow He blesses you. And it's there. It's a powerful concept. It is better to give than receive. I said, it is better to give than receive. It's amazing that when we trust Yahweh and believe, then we can receive, and then we can pass it along to others. It does say in Matthew 21, If you believe, you shall receive whatever you ask for in prayer. So what's the steps? Ask, believe, receive. That's pretty simple, isn't it? We like to make it hard. And then when you receive, you help others. We support those in need, and when we do this, we're acting like Yahweh. So let me ask you this question. How right now are you helping other people? What are you doing? And don't include work. If you work for a living, and that's what you do. You say, well, I support my family. That's fine. Most people have to do that. So take that out of the context, because let's just consider that's already done. You're working for a living. You're supporting your family. What else are you doing to help others? What are you doing right now? How are you volunteering your time, your efforts? And then I think about what else can you do? Who has Yahweh put in your life that you can help? As we go through our day, we have these Yahweh encounters, and sometimes we miss them. I was at the store recently, and this guy came to the front door, and he knocked on the front door of the store. This is strange. We're going to get held up or robbed? And who was there is the cashier. She said, I got it. I said, you got what? She walks over there, and there's a man in a wheelchair with no legs and one arm. And she said, hey, can I help you? And she just opens the door, and he says, yeah, I need to make my payment. She said, okay. She said, well, do you want me to hold the door for you to come in, or do you want me to get you some help to come in? You know, what's better? You bring the cash to me back. True story. He would not take the help. He said, I will sit here, and it was cold in the middle of December. He said, I'd rather sit here in the cold, and you bring me that cash back. You know, there's sometimes people that we want to help that we can't. But most people are open to those blessings. And when we can do something small, when we can bless someone, when we can help them, then it gives us an opportunity to witness the minister who loved him. Because Yahweh's doing that for us. Now think back about that man in the wheelchair. Somewhere in his past, he was hurt by someone helping him. That's what it was. They were going to help him, and they might have pushed him down. They might have laughed at him. Might have locked him in a bank one night. I mean, who knows? They did something. The point is, he was hurt in the past, and he was allowing that past hurt to stop him from receiving blessings in the future. Psalm 145, verse 14 says, Yahweh supports all the fallen and raises up all that are bent over. Life is full of miracles of support. Karen, it might not be as dramatic as raising somebody from the dead. But the little things count. Don't they? Little miracles. Praise Yahweh for little miracles. Praise Yahweh for little miracles. This week, I guess it was a few days ago, my nine-year-old said, Dad, I want to make you coffee. Teach me how to make you coffee. I said, Hallelujah! Baruch Hashem. Yahweh started dancing, started shouting. Praise Yahweh for little miracles. So I taught him how to make it. Oh, praise Yahweh for little miracles. I got me some coffee. So the next day, he made my coffee. I tasted a grind or two, and I said, oh, it won't hurt me. So later, he goes to make coffee, and I go in there to get my coffee. It's been made. It's been cooking, smelling up. The kitchen's smelling so good. He forgot to put the pot underneath it. And it was one of those that it goes no matter what. And so there were coffee grinds all over the kitchen. I added a little sugar, and it was fine. So anyway, the little miracles, the little miracles are such a blessing. They're such a blessing when they occur. Your help is noticed. That's the secret of the psalmic. When you do something small, and you don't think, no one else notices it. No one else sees it. Yahweh sees it. And we reap what we sow. Isn't that what the Word says? Do not be deceived. Whatsoever man sows, he shall reap. Each act of kindness. Each bent over back. Each wiped butt. Each vacuumed floor. Each thing that you pick up. Every dollar that you've given. Every prayer that you've prayed. Everything that you've done to minister to someone, to care for someone. Whether it be your children, your neighbor, your spouse, your friend, someone at the ministry, someone at Walmart, someone you don't even know. Every kind act that you've done has set in motion more great things in your life. And I guarantee you, guarantee you, if you don't like what you've got right now, it's probably because of something that's happened in the past. We reap what we sow. Every act is a support. The Hebrew word sowed means secret. When you do unto others, they will do unto you. So what if you say this? Oh, well, wait a minute now, Daniel. I'm a good person. I've been kind. I've been compassionate. I've been sweet. I've helped my family out, and yet I don't like what I have right now. That's when you've got to take control of your thoughts. You've got to take control of your mind because the word says in Proverbs 23, 17, as a man thinks in his heart, so he is. And you've got to start thinking about yourself as blessed. You've got to start thinking about yourself as healed, as healthy, as emotionally stable, as having all of your needs met. And you will see that it comes to play. Support others. When you support someone else, you are supported. Amen? You reap what you sow. When you uphold others, you will be upheld for yourself. When you stand fast with others, they will help you. That's the secret. It's atomic. It goes the other way, too. You ready? When you frustrate others, guess what's going to happen? You're going to be frustrated. When you pick at others, you're going to be picked at. When you have a short temper with someone, they're going to have a short temper with you, or someone else is going to do that. Life is like a mirror. What we give, we get back. What we give, we get back. When you are helping someone less fortunate, you know what? You're acting like the psalmic. You're supporting them. You're blessing them. You are becoming the Word made flesh. You hear me? You are becoming the Word made flesh. We said in John chapter 1, verse 14 that Yeshua was the Word made flesh. We saw in the different funerals where he raised people from the dead, where Elijah got out of depression, where all these things occurred, and yet we have that same power to reach out to someone, Daniel, to bless them, to help them. And we can actually become the Word made flesh. Let's end in Psalm 119 in the psalmic verses. If you will, read it with me. Psalm 119, this is verses 113 through 120. I hate double-minded people, but I love your Torah. You are my hiding place and shield. I put my hope in your Word. Leave me alone, you evildoers, so that I can keep my Yah's mitzvot. Uphold me as you promised, and I will live. Don't disappoint me in my hope. Support me, and I will be saved, always putting my attention on your laws. You reject all who stray from your laws for what they deceive themselves, which is false. You discard the wicked of the earth like slag. This is why I love your instruction. My body trembles for fear of you. Your rulings make me afraid. This is a powerful verse, something you might want to repeat every day. As you look at this, it says, I hate double-minded people, but I love the Torah. Uphold me, psalmic me as you promised, and I will live. Support me, and I will be saved. I will put my attention on your Torah. When you put your attention on the Torah, what happens? You obey the Torah and the blessings come back. Practical ideas. Do you need help from Yahweh? Ask. Believe. Receive. Pray. How can you offer help? We don't want to be like that fisherman who says, no, no, no, I don't want the help. We don't want to be like Elijah who's in despair and depression and says, oh, I'm ready to go home. Instead, we need to be like the psalmic. We need to be like Yeshua. Now the psalmic has the S sound. It's rounded. It's a picture of the cycle. It's a picture of us, of the support that Yahweh gives us, of the joy and the love that Yahweh gives us. Let's finish with one final verse out of the book of Psalms. Tehillim chapter 3 has two verses about the psalmic. It says, Psalm 3, verse 4 and 5. Let's look at verse 3, excuse me. Psalm 3, verse 3, 4 and 5. Thou, Yahweh, art a shield, a psalmic for me, my honor and the lifter of mine head. I cried unto Yahweh with my voice. I came out of His holy hill. I laid me down and slept. I awaked, for Yahweh sustains me. Yahweh wants these verses to be our story. That we understand He is our psalmic. He is our shield. He is the lifter of our head. That we cry to Him. He hears us and then we can lay down and sleep in peace and wake up in joy. Father Yahweh, I come before You right now asking and believing and praying, Abba, that this would be so. That this would be so. That when we are stressed, when we are bothered, when we have issues, that we would remember the psalmic. That You are a shield for us, the glory and the lifter of our head. That we would cry to You and know that You hear us from Your holy hill. You hear us from Yerushalayim. You hear us. You are there in Your presence and in Your compassion and You give us miracles. That we can lay down and sleep in peace and wake up in joy. Father, we trust You. We believe. And Father, we pray that You would help us to see the people when they come across our path that we could share Your love with. That we could help. That we could reach out. That we could support. Father, I'm reminded that for charities that giving is the lifeblood. It is the support that they have. If they don't have the support of the people through giving of money, through giving of time, through volunteers, that they can't operate. And that Father, that's a spiritual principle that we can learn from that. And that principle is that Your support is our lifeblood. That we can't operate without You and Your Ruach in our lives. Help us. May we understand and see this greater and fuller. And Father, may You reveal Your love to us. We cry out to You in our pain. Hear from heaven. From Your holy hill. That we could have shalom. And we could awake in joy the next day blessing You and thanking You and praising You for all You've done in our lives. We give You thanks for the psalmic Yeshua. That we could become the psalmic for others. In Yeshua's name we pray. Amen and Amen. www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com www.findemet.com
