This booklet below came about as I was helping Pastor Tina prepare for the second Chat & Chew.  As I was putting together handouts, the Lord was pricking me to notice how others strived in wanting more of God. Disappointed, weary trying to get the deeper meaning of scripture, and just not satisfied that they had enough; feeling that there must be more. Energies seem to be spent too quickly; and getting deeper revelation with God seemed even a stretch to ask of anyone. 
  So pulling together a booklet that was simpler, less stressful, by laying the foundation of learning the original intent of its' words seemed a timely thing to do... and in a spirit filled way, by prayer.

Learning the Word, to Empower Prayer, For What GOD Wants Done.... 

Starts with prayer. 

Studying the Bible's original language opens the deeper meanings of God’s Word and purpose in you.

  Any translation, between any two languages, will lose some of the inherent weightiness of that language’s culture that it came from; especially for the scriptures - it's been a few millennia!  But I believe God knew we would need to make this kind of headway in these days, for us to figure out those spirit filled meanings needed now.

In Jesus day, Israelites would be daily referencing the Torah for how God might think a thing. Today, when thinking about God’s ways we have to create a daily reference; needing to learn those things God is releasing… His “hidden mysteries”, through His Word and through prayer.  So that 'Who HE IS' is what HE is partnering with us to be. God magnified in us, is how we represent Him... for such a time as this, when words, morals and ideals are being blurred.

Through God we learn, one on one, making it our own experience of truth.  True for WHO WE ARE individually.   Discoveries now a shared experience… with our Father God!   What better relationship can we have than knowing one's true purpose and identity.   I won't drag it out any more, but... you most definitely need to want to know.   Because even thinking, becomes the choices you make.    (2 Corinthians 10:5)

    Having helps like these, and sharing what we learn together, is encouraged in God's Word.  The New Testament, for example, 'learning the mysteries of God' references alone are amazing!  Matthew 13:11 , Romans 16:25 , 1Corinthians 2:5-7 , Ephesians 1:9 and 3:4, Colossians 1:27 and 2:2.  There's infinite revelation in the Bible.    

Knowing God is Addictive! 

  Examination of the Word with the Word, to make spiritual applications with the Word is through small steps, not giant leaps. Same with technology, it is not every-one's cup of tea, but worth learning.  ALWAYS worth it.  (I think God knew it would be needed for such a time as this!)  

I've included computer helps below, and listed my email to contact me about anything on this website.  

We learn... or 'glean' TOGETHER; WHENEVER we are learning with the Spirit of the Lord!

Thank-you Father God, to Pastor Tina, my family, to fellow Saints

and all who have helped me get perspective in putting this together! 

I pray it blesses you too.  There is always, ALWAYS, More with God!
