UNDER-STANDING

Gimel or “3″

(taken from Defining words.com)

Number “3″ in the aleph-bet, gimel, is symbolic of the camel. Gimel’s pictograph depicts a walking camel’s head, neck and forelegs. Camels are burden-bearing beasts employed by kings of old. Unusually tolerant of heat, long periods of time can pass between waterings, making the camel the desert-traveler’s choice of transportation. For many, the past season has been a desert of hardship. Frankly, I struggled sharing this word in light of the prevalent discouragement among the body of Christ. The promises of God, however, stand regardless of our disappointments. “What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar,” Romans 3:3-4 NIV. Don’t abandon hope, but humbly accept the word God has planted in your heart, for it has the power to save your soul. During ayin gimel, the Lord will demonstrate faithfulness to the one who counts Him as faithful.

Camels are the desert ships of kings and their riches. In 2 Chronicles 9:1, the Queen of Sheba brought Solomon gold, gems and spices on a caravan of camels. Eliezer brought the bride, Rebecca, home to Isaac on a caravan of camels. Kings and wealthy businessmen used camels to transport goods along trade routes. The following facts are shared on the American Bible Society website.

• Camel caravans were important to the economies of cities and empires.
• Camels are the best desert pack animals due to their amazing strength.
• They can carry anywhere from 350-1000 pounds each!
• Passengers could ride atop or be carried in baskets on either side.
• Camels can live on and digest thorny plants in the desert.
• Camels can survive many days without water as their body stores and releases water on journeys.
• Camels have callouses that protect them from the scorching sand.
• The eyelashes of the camel protect him from the blinding sun and the blowing sand.
• Camels possess an acute sense of smell that leads them to desert water sources.

Benevolent

Ayin gimel illustrates the Father’s ability to provide for His children, even in a barren wasteland. The Talmud [writings of Jewish civil and ceremonial law] depicts gimel as a wealthy man running to overtake an impoverished man with provision. Jesus, our wealthy king, has methods of sourcing His people during times of hardship. He is not limited in how He can achieve gimel’s aim! As I write, my husband reminds me of a vision he had some months ago that corroborates this word. In his vision, a group of people were walking across a stage. From behind the stage curtain, a man emerged to overtake the group. In a surprising gesture, he wrapped his arms around a passerby, not to harm but to bless. Jonathan wrote the vision down (a seed of confirmation for the year 5773). As we cross the stage of ayin gimel, One will be revealed Who is poised to overtake us with mercies. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,” Psalm 23:6 KJV.

Redeemer

Gimel illustrates the redemptive power of Christ. It could be said that the camel is a type of Christ, Who lifts others and carries their burdens. Many will traverse the wilderness of 5773 in the basket strapped to gimel’s side. Don’t stop short with the mere hope of survival. Never doubt that God can redeem the losses of your prior season! Gimel never arrives on the scene empty-handed. “See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him,” Isaiah 40:10 NIV.

Gracious

As the number “3″, gimel speaks of the third person of the Trinity. If aleph “1″ is the Father – and bet “2″ is the Son; then, gimel “3″ is the Holy Spirit of truth that proceedeth from the Father and son (John 15:26). It is the graciousness of the Holy Spirit that works redemption not only for us, but in us. Furthermore, it is the gracious Holy Spirit that works through us to make us agents of redemption and benevolence for others. This is the work of grace.

The forecast for 5773 ends at a dichotomy. In the days ahead, we will both receive and become benevolence from Heaven. Those who consume Father’s kindnesses and do not return the grace, will face years of leanness ahead. The one who receives from gimel and in turn pays it forward, will become a part of Heaven’s caravan. “One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed,” Proverbs 11:24-25 NIV.

I leave you with this challenge. Give to others this year as never before. If you’re struggling to put food on your table, give to another of the little you do have. If ends don’t ever seem to meet, work to bless another family in need. As we release our material wealth to gimel, Father can redeem us from materialism, fear and self-centeredness. Truly we depend on Christ to be our gimel in this year. However, by the end of gimel’s season, we should have become the camel of provision in others’ lives.

Based on what we know about the camel, expect that you will grow into the following Christ-like traits:

• You will become important to the economy round about you.
• You will have developed amazing strength by learning to bear other’s burdens.
• Just as the camel can live on and digest thorny desert plants, so the undesirable things of this season will serve to fuel your journey.
• There will be times of refreshing that will hydrate you for lengthy periods.
• Your travels have given your feet callouses that will serve to protect you from the blistering sands.
• The eyelashes of the camel protect him from the blinding sun and the blowing sand. Just the same, your vision will not be impaired by inopportune circumstances.
• Camels possess an acute sense of smell that leads them to desert water sources. You will prove the inner guidance of the Holy Spirit Who leads you in the way you should go – the way everlasting.

 END QUOTE.

Last night was the 3rd time I have used my staff as a prophetic act.

It is a staff that a 12 year old boy carved for me the year I was in bible college and his parents brought me in to show me a little bit of what family was like.

The children were all into art and making things with their hands.

This particular child was extremely gifted with his hands.

The piece of wood he carved for me is completely void of any artistic beauty. ITS IN RAW FORM.

Merely no outer rough wood and the knots taken down.Branches had grown out of it from top to bottem approximately 5 inches apart all the way from its heigth which is 5 inches taller than me.

On the bottem of it the Lord told me to make a pattern of dates and something that defined that moment.

My first was 4/14/2012 where I came to visit for 5 days in Redding before my move in searching for a home and a job and the ALABASTER PRAYER HOUSE did a DRUM CIRCLE.

I heard the beat, but didnt know 'how to participate' and shy from my environment and preparation to move here and not knowing anyone yet, I ran to my car and got my staff which could make a thump on the ground as we worshiped.

It has within it now the SOUND OF PRAISE as its mark within its fibers in the place God designated it to begin.

The second was RAIN: 8/8/12 I went again to the ALABASTER PRAYER HOUSE asking God to show that He sent me. That i didnt go alone, but that I did hear correctly.

Would He answer by heavy rain as a SIGN.

Within minutes of praying that prayer, the thunder and rain poured so hard and heavy that it turned to hail. While everyone else was running inside the prayer house for cover, I was running outside to see what He did for me.

I placed a mark on my staff when I got home of that PRAYER REQUEST ANSWERED.

Then last night was 3/3/13

It was the last night of family BETHEL FAMILY WEEKEND.

I  was not feeling well and couldnt come to the family table. I have been on antibiotics for a few days and have some other things God is walking me through, so I stayed home to watch online because I didn't want to miss it altogether even though I couldn't stand up long enough to go in person. My body and other things needed a touch from God.

At the end, dad Bill gets up there and during that time, and prays for us. brings us into a quiet time before the Lord.

The only way I was going to get the breakthrough this particular time was to be home, near my staff to do as HE instructed.I knew I am to do a prophetic act with my staff. To stand up and LEAN on the staff.

I stand up and take both hands to the height of the staff above me and lean both hands and my weight on the staff completely.

God says He is carrying me in this season. That it is a season of walking forward and leaning on my staff (representative of HIM) in this scenario. My support system is in place and I need to trust that it will sustain me.

3 GIFTS FROM GOD  to show me HE is indeed with me.

Help yourself!

another confirmation of the number 3 

taken from facebook: my friend Jen HS Han

"Ask For Rhema Revelation"

He said, "Never think it is too late for answered prayers. Never, ever, ever think I am late. My apostles thought that as they beheld Me on the Cross, they thought they had been tricked, deceived, and that I died, and everything was too late. But then three days later they saw the fullness of the truth. For I spoke to them of My Father's Kingdom; and they tried to take the Kingdom of My Father and then plant it on the earth. But knowledge of the flesh cannot co-mingle with knowledge of the Spirit. Knowledge of the Spirit is pure and higher, and it is spirit to Spirit. Open your spirits up right now. Be not afraid, for I'm going to pour oil in your spirits right now for strength.
 (good word right?)
