“Indeed, the LORD loves the people; all Your holy ones are in Your hand, and they followed in Your steps. Everyone receives of Your words.” Deuteronomy 33:3.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I would like to pause here and talk to you about My project, and it is also a project for you who have connected with Me through My Son. It is for you who love Me and are called according to the purpose. You who have become partakers of My divine nature through your covenant with Jesus and have become part of the body of Christ, the church.
In the same way the Spirit joins in to take hold and help us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the believers according to the will of God. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28.
It is a “hands on” project. The reason for the “hands on” approach is healing.
“These signs will accompany those who have believed in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:17-18.
I am talking about a healing and deliverance project. I sent My Word to heal you and deliver you from your destructions. Psalm 107:20.
But there is much more. For just a moment let us talk about My hands. You are the work of My hands.
But now, O LORD, You are our Father, we are the clay, and You our potter; and all of us are the work of Your hand. Isaiah 64:8.
Consider My hands.
I rule by My mighty hand. The power is in My hand.
His radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand, and there is the hiding of His power. Habakkuk 3:4.
My hand does wonders for you.
You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. Psalm 145:16.
And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence, while You extend Your hand to heal, and miracles, signs and wonders take place through the Name of Your holy child Jesus.” Acts 4:29-30.
My hand feeds you, even in time of famine. My hand sees to all your needs. My hand sets you free. My hand holds and upholds you.
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand upholds me; And Your gentleness makes me great. Psalm 18:35.
My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me. Psalm 63:8.
‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10.
“For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’” Isaiah 41:13.
My hand sets you free, heals you, feeds you, holds you, delivers you, forgives you, gives you victory, shows you favor, gives you gifts, protects and shields you, overshadows you, and strikes your enemies to save you. My hand upon you is favor in all you do.
My hands are hands of love. I am love. My hands form you, hold you, heal you, reshape you, renew you and remake you, restore all to you that was taken by the devil, protect you, and bless you.
Look at My memorial covenant Name that I revealed to Moses from the burning bush, shown in translation as the word LORD all in capital letters. In Hebrew it is formed of four letters, a yad (י), a hei (ה), a vav (ו), and a hei (ה). My Name has much depth and lessons in those 4 letters, their pictographs, and their meanings. For every letter in Hebrew has a pictograph of what it is and a meaning. For example, the second letter of the alef bet (the Hebrew alphabet) is bet, which is the word for “house” and its pictograph represents a “house.” It is the first letter in the first book of the Bible. Why? I was forming a home for you in creation.
My Name is formed of three tenses of the verb “to be,” hayah, hoveh, and yiyeh, meaning I AM, I was, and I am to come.
The individual letters that form My Name LORD have the following meanings and pictographs: The letter “yad” means “hand” and its pictograph is an open hand. The letter “hei” means “grace” and its pictogram is a man with his hands raised receiving grace in praise and thanksgiving. The letter “vav” means a nail or large peg and its pictogram is the same as its meaning. And My Name concludes with another “hei.”
Do you see? My memorial Name, translated as “LORD” (יהוה) that I gave to Moses is formed with the pictograph of a hand, grace, a nail, and more grace. Grace upon grace through the nailed hand expresses My loving hands that in My Son took away your sins by the sacrifice of My Son. His loving pierced hands. But let us see more here.
Hebrew letters are all consonants, there are no vowels as such. From the context in which a word is used, My people knew the appropriate way to pronounce the words with vowels sounded in. But when they were in exile in Babylon, to preserve the spoken language pristine, markings called “nikud” were developed to place under, beside or above the letters that denoted the vowel sound to pronounce the word correctly.
But with My Name, LORD (יהוה), there were no vowel markings entered for My sacred Name was only pronounced by the High Priest. It was not like that at the time of Moses or at the time of David, but it became that way later. So you will hear people today, depending on the vowel sounds they put in, saying My Covenant memorial Name as “Yahweh” or “Jehovah.”
I will now give you the true pronunciation of My sacred Covenant Name that only you who are in Covenant with Me through My Son and love Me can truly understand and say. It is “Yahavah.” The vowel markings under the letters would be three Kamatz. The Kamatz looks like a small “T” under the letter. Like you see for “Tav”, and the pictogram for the letter “tav (ת)” which is the last letter of the Hebrew aleph bet, is a cross. Three crosses with the middle one under the Hei for grace. Jesus in the midst of the three crosses. It will look like this:
יָ הָ וָ ה
And you pronounce it as: Yahavah. Ahavah means “love” (אַהֲבָה) in Hebrew. Yad is a hand. So Hand of love. My hands are hands of love. I am love and My hand forms you, restores you, renews you, touches you, lifts you, blesses you, provides for you, holds you, guides you, prospers you in love.
“Let His left hand be under my head and His right hand embrace me.” Song of Songs 8:3.
And in My left hand (under your head) are riches and honor (creative ideas and inventions to prosper the work of your hands) and in My right hand (embracing you) is long life (healing). Proverbs 3:16.
The first person to praise Me in the Bible was Leah. She praised Me at the birth of her fourth son and named him “Yehudah (יְהוּדָה),” which you translate as Judah. You will note in the Hebrew the letters in the name of Judah are those in the Name of Yahavah (יהוה) with a letter added in which gives the “d” sound. It is the Hebrew letter: dalet (ד), which means “door” and its pictograph is a door. The tribe of Judah is the door through which Yahavah (LORD) entered into the earth in the person of Jesus the Messiah according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit My Son to whom I gave My Name. And Judah was the son born in praise. And a very special word was used for “praise” in that name, “yadah.”
And the first word used to denote “praise” was the Hebrew word “yadah.” You see the word “yad” or “hand” in there. Yadah (יָדָה) means “to throw, to cast, to raise up your hands in praise and thanksgiving.” That one word tells you to have no anxiety about anything but in everything to cast your cares on Me in prayer with thanksgiving and praise because I care for you, and it will all work together for your good who love Me and are called according to My purpose of love—the project to heal and deliver all who are oppressed by the devil. To go about doing good, to go about blessing, healing, protecting, and providing in love.
For you who have received Jesus as Lord and believed I raised Him from the dead for your justification are members of His body on earth and His hands of power work through your hands as His precious body and Mine work through His.
At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s portico. Acts 5:12.
Yes, you who believe in the Name of Jesus are to lay your hands on the sick and they shall recover. How? My hands are in your hands as the body of Christ.
And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. Matthew 10:7-8.
You are continuing His works on earth. The purpose is the same. As I sent Him, so He sends you to join in the project—a hands on project. When Jesus blessed the children, He laid His hands on them. Your hands are for blessing as Mine are. Your hands are for healing, as Mine are. Your hands for producing increase, provision, and prosperity, as Mine are.
You who believe are in Jesus’ hands and He gives you eternal life and you shall never perish and when you are in His hand you are in My hand and there is no snatching out of My hand.
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:27-30.
By My Holy Spirit in you and on you, I am reaching out My hand to you and through you to deliver, heal, set free, give provision, bless, increase, hold, cherish, and shelter. I prosper the work of your hands. Give Me something to work with. Not idle hands. Not hands that strike, that steal, that kill, that destroy, that do improper things, but hands raised to bless, to protect, to send out power to do good, to prosper all in love.
My hands are never harsh or rough with you. They are gentle loving hands. I so cherish you that I have engraved your name in the palm of My hand.
Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you! Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands. Isaiah 49:15-16.
Isn’t it time you started using your hands? Lift them in praise and raise them over your city, your state, your nation, the nations, the world in blessing. Do remember what I told Moses to do when on one side they faced the Red Sea at its deepest depths and on the other side a canyon through which the army of Egypt was approaching them in hot pursuit? There seemed to be no way out. It seemed to the Israelites that I had abandoned them to their enemies even though I had freed them from slavery with such mighty works and outstretched hand. But I said to Moses as the people cried out: “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward. As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land. Exodus 14:15-16.
Make a way today where there is no way. Stretch out your hand over the impossible place and find the way of deliverance. Moses found it for over two million people. You can do the same. Just follow My instructions. They are all written down for you in My book, the Bible, Old and New Testaments. Moses had no written book until I gave it to him and he wrote it. But after that you could meditate on it day and night. Like Joshua.
Put everything in My hands. It will be safe there and it will increase there. When they put their five loaves and two fish into My Son’s hands it became Kingdom property and it multiplied. Why? He held it in His hands and blessed it with thanksgiving.
They said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.” And He said, “Bring them here to Me.” Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds, and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets. There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children. Matthew 14:17-21.
I love you. Tomorrow we will continue our Christmas journey of remembrance. But really that is what we are doing today as well. Jesus is My gift to you to heal you, bless you, deliver you and save you. He is My hand among you. In seeing Him you see Me. He reached out His hands to you. It is all part of a hands on project that you are a very important part of. Put your times in My hands.
And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” Luke 23:46.
And I appeal to you, please take hold of My hands as I stretch them out to you in love by loving My Word and following Me. Follow Me (rejoice always), hold your tongue back from evil (pray without ceasing), and be generous (give constant thanks—thankful people are generous people).
“I have stretched out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in the way which is not good, following their own thoughts, a people who continually provoke Me to My face.” Isaiah 65:2.
