The 20th letter of the Hebrew alphabet is Resh r = the front of the head --- the opposite of the Qoph file.
In the last file we dealt with the subconscious of the soul, now we deal with the front of the head or the frontal lobe known as the heart.
PRO 23:7, "As a man thinks in his right lobe [heart], so he is."
PRO 27:19 As in water face reflects face, So the heart of man reflects man.
Qal imperative of the Hebrew verb ha*r* ra'ah which means to behold, consider, discern, to provide, to have respect for what one is willing to go through for the Lord.
"My affliction"- refers to his personal pressure that came to him from zimmah = rape, adultery, fornication, incest, seduction, homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, child molesting, masturbation, voyeurism etc.
Qal imperative of the verb gaal which means to remove the mental pressure from the situation.
Prin-God loves when His children command Him to do something according to His word because it reveals how much they truly love Him and know His character.
MAL 3:6 "For I, the Lord, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
TIT 1:2 we have the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago,
HEB 6:18 In order that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge in laying hold of the hope set before us.
HEB 11:6 Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that HE IS, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
The Hebrew verb for plead is the verb byr! riyb beginning with the letter Resh and it means to toss, to fight, to defend, or to rebuke.
He wants to be delivered from the pressure, not the situation but the pressure.
He is asking God to go to bat for him because he believes that he needs help.
Notice that it does not say Salvation is far from the wicked because they have not been chosen but it says salvation is far from the
wicked because they do not seek God's statues.
Because the sovereign will of God and the free will of man co-exist by divine decree.
Rachowq meaning that salvation is far off or a long way away, or a great while to come, for the wicked.
When people reject doctrine they inevitably will be destroyed, HOS 4:6.
While they have chains on their feet and on their wrists and while they are in slavery, they are a free people.
Even though they are moving away from their home every step they take and every step they make is a step toward freedom.
In reality...they were not free in prosperity but they are free in adversity.
They are starting on the bottom......yet they are on the top because of what is inside of their soul.
Prin-Their souls have not been contaminated by the depraved Chaldean soldiers.
Second prin- Although you are told to separate from certain individuals, if for any reason you cannot, you do not have to be contaminated by them.
1JO 4:4b because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
Even though these men and women have been brutally attacked and mistreated in every way, their soul remains intact.
Through all this, a new nation is now being born on the destruction of the old nation, same name, Israel, but different citizens, those who have PVTD.
JOH 12:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."
God will remove things in our life that are interfering with our relationship with Him in order that the only things left or that remain are those which promote our relationship with Him.
They didn't learn it the easy way which was listening to their prophet Jeremiah, so now they are learning it the hard way -- through experience.
His persecutors are the soldiers who are physically abusing him. His adversaries are enemies his own people who have NVTD.
MAT 10:36 and a man's enemies will be the members of his household.
Qal perfect stem - raah = he has learned in the past what kind of people are truly treacherous, the word means to discern, to stare or to concentrate on those who are influenced by evil.
Here the word treacherous is the Hebrew verb baged which refers to those who are guilty of rape and violence.
Loathe is the Hebrew verb quwt which means to be sick to one's stomach.
These beasts, these animals, who tortured his friends made him sick to his stomach.
All of us are going to face situations in life that are sickening, nauseating and horrible, but you can't spend the rest of your life sitting around being nauseated.
Prin-You can't sit around and cry or become bitter because of horrible experiences in your past.
This man is not only free from the problems he had in his subconscious as we saw in the Koph file but now he is free in his heart which is the Resh file.
Many believers love the promises but ignore the precepts.
The Resh file which looks like this r really deals with the frontal lobe where the heart is.
The heart is used in the Bible for the place of thinking, the location of your vocabulary and categories of thought.
1SA 16:7, "The Lord said to Samuel, `Do not look on his outward appearance or how tall he is, because I have rejected him.
1SA 16:7b for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
Having a joyful heart means you share God's happiness (+H) in your right lobe, which is problem solving device #8.
Eventually your motivation for learning more doctrine comes from the doctrine you already have in your right lobe.
The Bible is like a mirror, for you can look into the Word of God and know what you are really like.
It must be the target for doctrinal teaching, 1KI 3:9,12; PSA 119:11; PSA 19:14.
1KI 3:9 "So give Thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Thine?"
1KI 3:12 Behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, nor shall one like you arise after you.
1CO 2:9, "Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard, and it has not entered into the heart all that God has prepared for those who love Him."
Personal love for God the Father is one of the problem solving devices and is the motivation for the Christian way of life.
Occupation with the person of Christ is the priority solution to problems in life.
We do not have a human frame of reference for perception of doctrine, but a spiritual frame of reference for spiritual phenomena to go to a spiritual apparatus.
You are to concentrate on wisdom, which is CHOKMAH in the Hebrew. CHOKMAH is a combination of the Greek EPIGNOSIS plus SOPHIA.
Wisdom is the combination of EPIGNOSIS coming into your right lobe as well as being applied from your right lobe.
Just like the physical heart pumps blood in the body, so the spiritual heart pumps epignosis doctrine through the frame of reference, memory center, vocabulary and categorical storage areas.
Without concentration and positive volition to what is taught, you will not develop vocabulary or categorical storage of doctrinal
information.
"Pleasant" indicates the presence of problem solving devices in your soul as you become spiritually self-sustaining.
