Save, saving (health) until now, but not the great time Trouble. Satan did not know everything, but he wanted to stop the fulfillment of Micah. Micah 5:2But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
And the fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14Isaiah 7:14[14]Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Matthew 1:21-25[21]And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
[22]Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,[23]Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
[24]Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:[25]And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
( the name Jesus in verse 21 is ‘HOSHEA’ it means Elohim (OUR) SAVIOUR, ELOHIM who is our Salvation (He by whom the Covenant Keeping God (YAHWEH) will make whole. (SAVE= IN THE GREEK IS “SOZO” 4982 It means: “BE MADE WHOLE”, ‘Safe’; to save, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): – heal, preserve, (life) save, (self) do well, be (make) whole Matthew 2:6[6]And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
Matthew 2:1-23[1]Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,[2]Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.[3]When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
[4]And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.[5]And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,[6]And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.[7]Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.[8]And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
[9]When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.[10]When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.[11]And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
[12]And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.[13]And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
[14]When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:[15]And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.[16]Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
[17]Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,[18]In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.[19]But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,[20]Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.[21] And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
[22]But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:[23]And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
The name (Elohim) is the first name of God in your Bible, it is a revealing of what He is to us, Genesis 1, in the beginning God “Elohim” created the heaven and the earth. (EL) means “The Almighty” with the Ability, ‘power to create’ “Ohim” CREATORAll born again saints of the Most High God ‘YAHWEH’ should believe in their heart, and their children should be brought up knowing this truth about our creator. There is a church in Columbus Ohio USA, a father and mother brought their baby to be prayed for, the baby was born without a ‘Brain Stim’.
Our ‘Elohim’ created a brain stim and this miracle was reported on our local TV news. At the same church, a baby was prayed for and ELOHIM created an ‘OPTIC NERVE’ in the baby’s head. I saw an evangelist stick his fingers in the ears of a man who had no ear drums, and move his fingers around while saying “CREATE CREATE CREATE, and our ELOHIM did just that.
There was a brother ministering at a meeting, he paused for a short time, he was receiving a ‘word of knowledge’ one of the manifestations of the enduement of power received, the power is the gift that all nine (9) manifestations are operated by Luke 24:49-50[49]And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.[50]And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
The man speaking up front said, there is a man here who has been praying for 70 years for the Lord to heal his eye, A man stood up and started walking forward. A glass eye fell out onto the floor and the great CREATOR, who became our Saviour, created an eye in the man’s eyes socket.
Let’s stop here for a short time, I know that some of you who have been in meetings where miracles are happening, when you have read the above, tears came and you began to praise the “Holy One” who made it possible.
I know Mr and Mrs Ray, who were part of our fellowship who the doctor advised that the baby Mrs Ray is carrying should be aborted, because of the condition of the baby. They prayed at home and they came to fellowship.
I prayed that the baby would be born healthy and a happy baby. That is what Elohim did, Seth was born a healthy Child. Here is a song we sing here in USA, in parts:“O how I love Him, how I adore Him My life my sunshine, my all and all The great creator became my savior And all God’s fullness dwelleth with Him” ‘All of YAHWEH fullness dwelleth within “YAHWEH” the covenant keeping EL (the Almighty one) and HE will make you whole Romans 10:9-10[9]That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
(if thou shalt make a blood covenant with thy mouth the Lord Yahshua, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, you shall be made whole)[10]For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
( for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth covenant is made unto rescue, safety, physically or morally. Save self, preservation of life, deliverance, healing, do well, be made whole) My son, David L Matthews the second, died in his baby bed.
I came into the house at that time, my wife was shaking him and was beginning to cry, and I thought to myself he is dead because of the sin she was in. I eased around her and my baby without touching either one, I don’t know why I did that. All I can say is the Lord was leading me, I commanded death to leave.
And the same “ELOHIM” who is ‘The (EL) All Mighty One with the power to CREATE (OHIM) restored life back into my baby. Elohim is the one who breathed life into Adam, who became a living soul. A year earlier, I prayed for a son and sometime later in a home gathering, as I was leaving a woman said, ‘this time next year, you will have a son.
The following year, I was holding my son. The Lord was not going to let the devil’s killing of my promised son stand. I told him when he was an adult with his own family about it, sometime later he told me that he never believed it, until someone prophesied to him at a meeting that he was almost cut off from life.
Genesis 1:20-25[20]And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
[21]And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.[22]And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.[23]And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
[24]And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.[25]And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Psalm 150:1 Praise ye the Lord (Hebrew) Hallelu-Yah “Psalm 68:4”Psalms 68:4
[4]Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. Praise God”EL” (the Almighty) in His sanctuary, Praise Him in the firmament of His power. Psalms 2:1-12[1]Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?[2]The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,[3]Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.[4]He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.[5]Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.[6]Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.[7]I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
[8]Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.[9]Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.[10]Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.[11]Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.[12]Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. Psalms 3:1-8[1]LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
[2]Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.[3]But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.[4]I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.[5]I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.[6]I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
[7] Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.[8]Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. Psalms 4:1-8[1]Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
[2] O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.[3] But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.[4]Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.[5]Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.[6]There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.[7] Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
[8] I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. Psalms 5:1-12[1]Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.[2]Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
[3] My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.[4] For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.[5]The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.[6] Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
[7] But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.[8]Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.[9]For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.[10]Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
[11]But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.[12]For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
