5th September 2013 to 24th September 2014
We have trawled through the Bible to see the words beginning with
“dalet” to understand how these words form a pattern for the new year ahead .
We also need to remember that during the decade of
“ayin” we are influenced by what has been released by the Lord for this period. The last page includes an overview of
“ayin”.
In reality we are subject to both
“ayin” and
“dalet” .
We shall start this study with
“debowrah” which is the name of a very familiar biblical
Character. She was a prophetic judge who was used greatly by the Lord to bring governmental influence upon Israel . Deborah was a powerful and influential woman of her day .
Judges 4:4,5
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
This year will be a time of the returning of influential and powerful women . The Lord will bring an open doorway for women who know their God to advance into many areas which previously have been out of bounds to females . This is a year of liberty for women around the world.
Even those women who think they are secure and safe within their culture will experience “true freedom” .
There is an interesting but slightly negative part about the word deborah which means “bee” .
It is such an industrious creature but has developed a systematic and customary mode of function . We need to look into our own lives to see where we have allowed custom and tradition and the familiar routines of life to overflow us. This is particularly noteworthy when the Lord according to
Isaiah 43:19 wants each one of us to do the “new thing” .
Isaiah 43:19
19 Behold,
I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
This means evaluating our present lifestyle and thinking patterns so that we can be shifted out of complacency and comfort into where God wants to position us in our spheres of influence at work ..at school/college ..within our neighbourhood ..even within our church family.
Another word is
“dibbah” which means to slander,defame,give an evil report .
We need to look carefully at our heart attitudes and examine our prejudices. Maybe we say I have no prejudices . If we have preferences we have prejudices. The Lord says it is high time to get rid of the old attitudes that do not build up one another . If we continue in this way we shall destroy ourselves.
Galatians 5:15
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another .The body’s strength is dependant upon the way it functions together , every part doing it’s part .
Ephesians 4:16 Amp
16 For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.
How we get on determines our maturity as a corporate body . Time to change how we speak and deal with our hearts so that we overlook offences.
Matthew 6:14,15
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your
Trespasses.
dabaq , debeq and
dabeq all have the meaning of being joined together from individual parts to one combined part . Like a weld which is stronger than the two individual parts .
The two individual partners in the covenant of marriage are pictured as one body .
Genesis 2:24
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Emphasis is being placed upon true covenant marriages in this year when so many conflicting values are being presented as legitimate. God has stated in His word that there is only one marriage that He recognises . Indeed He designed and established it that way . Man and woman are the only partnership He blesses in marriage. This statement by God in His word will be a mighty standard raised against all that go against His word.
Matthew 21:42-44
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
A very interesting word is
debiyr which means an oracle , a shrine or innermost part of the
sanctuary . The Lord is emphasising to us at this time to look into our hearts , the innermost part of our beings which communicate with God. He says that so many things come to take our attention away from just focusing upon Him. Jesus said that cares and an unrestrained lifestyle would bring us into a snare. Time to control ourselves in the least so that sound integrity is reflected in our lifestyles to portray kingdom values as good disciples of Christ. This is the day to demonstrate the kingdom 24/7 . It can be accomplished in the least of our deeds.
Luke 21:34 Amp
34 But take heed to yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be overburdened and depressed (weighed down) with the giddiness and headache and nausea of self-indulgence, drunkenness, and worldly worries and cares pertaining to [the business of] this life, and [lest] that day come upon you suddenly like a trap or a noose.
dabar (verb) is such a powerful word which will be part of the arsenal the Lord has released to us. It means to promise, confer ,decree, to be a spokesman.
dabar (noun) act, advice, affair, answer, decree.
The Lord says that He will be giving opportunity this year for many to volunteer to come to a place of prominence which in the past so many have shied away from. He says that His courage and trust are released for those who will come to believe that He has a great purpose for them in His kingdom advance in the nations. Will you come to partake of that courage and grace to come into greater partnership this year. Jesus said this about those who have been called and gifted to do something but hide away. Use it or lose it ! This is a year for kingdom reproduction and advance and it is through every believer who will come to the front and be counted !
degel means to raise a banner or flag , be conspicuous - raise a standard.
Time to raise the flag over our obscurity so that we can be seen . The veil of obscurity is lifted away as we press forward to do all that the Lord has given us to do.
Matthew 5:14-16 The Message
14-16 “Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colours in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.
Luke 19:26
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
dagah means to fish , to spawn,become multiply. This is in line with the great commission to be reproducers of kingdom purpose. Not to bury what we have but to allow it to be reproduced into the next generation so that they will in turn reproduce what we imparted into their lives. Success in life is measured by what we leave as an inheritance . Leaving the principle of reproduction and multiplication of kingdom values is essential for the continued advancement of the kingdom of heaven here on earth. Great increase will come this year as we are faithful to give not only in finance but of ourselves . All these things constitute kingdom values and validate us as kingdom reproducers . Remember that we do not look for the kingdom here or there because it is within us. To see it we have to reflect it !
Luke 17:21 Amp.
21 Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you].
Acts 1:8 Amp.
8 But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.
Matthew 28:18-20 Amp.
18 Jesus approached and,breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
19 Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be).
Diyn means to contend,to execute judgement , to judge,to minister judgement , to plead the cause , to strive for equity .
Proverbs 31:9 Amp.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and administer justice for the poor and needy.
One of the great principles of God is for His children to minister compassion to the poor and needy . Indeed He uses it so much to check our giving attitude towards the poor. In this new year we are being encouraged to go a step further than last year and to give some time to the poor as well as finance or food . This is a year that the Lord will be releasing favour upon those who will pity the poor. His strategy is to take from the riches of those who gain wealth by crooked means and to transfer it into the hands of the righteous. The righteous who move to help the poor in practicable ways not just pray. It is for those who take the extra step this year that He will release the blessings. It is time for the ordinary believer to stand up for the poor . As the word says to administer justice. This can be in a court room or in the street before great legal minds or before those who are treating the poor unfairly. The Lord takes our attitude towards the poor very seriously. It is upon our actions towards the poor that He rewards us.
Proverbs 19:17
17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Proverbs 28:8
8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
Proverbs 29:14
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
diyshon , dalag - both these words relate to leaping as an antelope . We are reminded of the texts of God’s intervention mentioned in Isaiah 35. This is what happens when we give God the glory and give Him access to our lives. We are being encouraged in this new year to do just that.
GIVE GOD FULL ACCESS. He will turn things around like we have never experienced before.
A mighty year of supernatural signs , wonders and miracles.
Isaiah 35:4-6
4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
daka and
daqaq both have roots which deal with crushing and breaking into pieces , to make as dust . This can be applied to the characteristics of our hearts towards God. He reminds us of the necessity to keep our hearts in good health both naturally and spiritually. This is a time to revisit our hearts to see in what state they are. Do we need to deal with some heart conditions that are harming us. Maybe our attitudes are wrong in some areas . Allow Holy Spirit access to speak into our lives to bring about the changes that are needed. It can take time and determination to change our lifestyles but it is possible with His help. God enjoys those who allow change to come which brings a new attitude towards Him and His ways . This heart condition brings forth a greater capacity for faithfulness and reliance in the believer. God can trust us more and that is what He is looking for in us so that He can release more of His concerns to us. Greater partnership in advancing His kingdom in the nations which brings Him the greatest glory.
Isaiah 57:15
15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
One of the words used for a two leaved door , gate or lid is the word
deleth . This new year the Lord is opening a doorway or portal of opportunity that has previously been shut. It works in a similar way to the key of David , one of the keys of the kingdom. It is a key that Jesus the ascended king uses so effectively now and in His millennial reign .
Revelation 3:7
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth.
Proverbs 8:34
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
We wait upon the Lord for His timing . He exhorts us to wait upon wisdom on a daily basis . This can be achieved by reading and meditating upon the Proverbs . Each day choosing a Proverb . As there are 31 in all , in a month containing 31 days we can just choose the number of the day . When there are more Proverbs than days we read more at the end of the month. The consistency of this action constitutes waiting upon wisdom . The doors of opportunity are there waiting to be opened. It is when we are actively seeking and attending wisdom that is when the doors are opened and we get to go through to what is on the other side.
Our final word is
dath which means commandment , commission , decree , law and manner. It is a royal edict and statute. This is a very powerful word when applied correctly .
II Chronicles 30:5
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
This decree affected the whole nation of Israel . When we establish a decree we too affect what God has stated in His word . The decree must always agree with the word of God in order for it to be established for kingdom purpose. It is used as the word for “law” which like “commandment” has a seriously strong and far reaching meaning and application. This is a year when some serious work will be done for the advancement of the kingdom in and through our lives. It seems as if the Lord is turning up the heat.
Another use of this word is “manner” and can be seen in the book of Esther . It was used to describe the custom or tradition of perfuming or beautifying the candidates for queen in Persia .
Esther 2:12
12 Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)
God is dealing with our individual traditions and customs and showing us where they do not fit His kingdom pattern . We must adopt the culture of the kingdom . This must override all other cultures in order for His kingdom to be advanced in earth as it is in Heaven .
