WOMAN’S GOD-GIVEN VALUE

LESSON 2

‘ADAM – ISHI – ISHA

Yesterday we saw from Genesis 2 and 3 that God, Jehovah Elohim, formed an ‘adam from the dust of the earth. God then took a rib out of that first ‘adam and made a second ‘adam to be a helper for him.

The name ‘adam was God’s name for the human race that He had just created. He did not give the first ‘adam a “given personal name” of Adam. We know of no personal name for him, although people have “named” him Adam.

Genesis 2:23 says that the first ‘adam said of the one made from his rib that “she shall be called woman, because she (made female) was taken out of man.”

A proper rendering of the Hebrew text would read like “and ‘adam said… she shall be called ishshah (ish-shaw) because she was taken out of iysh.”

We see here that a woman is called an ishshah which later was shortened to isha. The individual male ‘adam was called an iysh which later was written as ish and ishi.

What God called ‘adam is today called by science as homo sapiens. So ‘adam (hence Adam) is the entire human race, both male and female. That is why when bible texts speak of “man” it is all humans, male and female. The “man” (‘adam) is genderless. However, an individual person is an ish or ishi for a male and isha (or ishshah) for a female person.

Although we have no personal name for the first created ‘adam, we do have a personal name for the second ‘adam, namely the isha that was created from his rib. That is because he chose to give the Isha a personal name.

Genesis 3:20 says, “And Adam (the ‘adam) called his wife’s (ishshah’s) name Eve, because she was the mother of all living (‘adams).”

Here in verse 20 the ‘adam (ishi) gives his wife (isha) a personal name. It is Chavvah (Khav-vah’) which translators put as Eve.

Verse 21 in English says, “Unto Adam and to his wife did the Lord make coats of skins.”

The Hebrew (from God) reads “(unto) ‘adam and ishshah, Jehovah made coverings of skins.” This was after their sin.

I go back to Genesis 2:18 when Jehovah Elohim said of ‘adam “I will make him an help meet for him.” The English “help meet” is the Hebrew word “ezer” which meant one to aid him in his work, a helper. It did not mean one to be subservient to him.

Through thousands of years, the egos of men have misinterpreted what an “ezer” is. They have made them to become subservient to all the “ishis,” second class citizens so to speak. God created the first ishshah to be a help equal in status to the ishi.

Tomorrow we will begin to show how God views male (ishi) and female (isha) to be equal. Their roles as isha may be different, but he regards them as equal to ishi.

YOUR DASH

I have attended and officiated many different funerals. Many times, there are stories told about the one that is being remembered. Sometimes there is humor and sometimes there are a great deal of tears that are shed. 

I will be attending a memorial service today of an Elder in our ministry, Vickie (Evelyn) Summers. She was part of our church for several years. She had pastored for many years before she became a part of Spirit of Life Ministries having come from a long heritage of believers. Vickie was very strong in faith. She shared the good news of Jesus Christ with everyone that would listen. She walked strongly in the gifts of the Spirit, and I counted her as a friend. She developed COVID19 while she was in the hospital for other things, and never came out. 

As a tribute to her, I think of this poem by Linda Ellis and put it in today’s newsletter in honor of Vickie. Please read it in its entirety and then mediate on what it says to your heart.

THE DASH BY LINDA ELLIS

I READ OF A MAN WHO STOOD TO SPEAK

AT THE FUNERAL OF A FRIEND

HE REFERRED TO THE DATES ON HER TOMBSTONE

FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END

HE NOTED THAT FIRST CAME THE DATE OF HER BIRTH

AND SPOKE OF THE FOLLOWING DATE WITH TEARS

BUT HE SAID WHAT MATTERED MOST OF ALL

WAS THE DASH BETWEEN THOSE YEARS

FOR THAT DASH REPRESENTS ALL THE TIME

THAT SHE SPENT ALIVE ON EARTH

AND NOW ONLY THOSE WHO LOVED HER

KNOW WHAT THAT LITTLE TIME IS WORTH

FOR IT MATTERS NOT HOW MUCH WE OWN

THE CARS ...THE HOUSE ...THE CASH

WHAT MATTERS IS HOW WE LIVE AND LOVE

AND HOW WE SPEND OUR DASH

SO, THINK ABOUT THIS LONG AND HARD

ARE THERE THINGS YOU'D LIKE TO CHANGE?

FOR YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT

THAT CAN STILL BE REARRANGED

IF WE COULD JUST SLOW DOWN ENOUGH

TO CONSIDER WHAT'S TRUE AND REAL

AND ALWAYS TRY TO UNDERSTAND

THE WAY OTHER PEOPLE FEEL

AND BE LESS QUICK TO ANGER

AND SHOW APPRECIATION MORE

AND LOVE THE PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES

LIKE WE'VE NEVER LIVED BEFORE

IF WE CAN TREAT EACH OTHER WITH RESPECT

AND MORE OFTEN WEAR A SMILE

REMEMBERING THAT THIS SPECIAL DASH

MIGHT ONLY LAST A LITTLE WHILE

SO, WHEN YOUR EULOGY IS BEING READ

WITH YOUR LIFE'S ACTIONS TO REHASH

WOULD YOU BE PROUD OF THE THINGS THEY SAY

ABOUT HOW YOU SPENT YOUR DASH?

May God be with each of you my friends, and remember we only have a limited number of days before we are called home. Make the most of your “dash.”

PROPHETIC WORD



You’ll never have real victory over anyone or anything. That is as long as you continue to allow them or it to keep you upset. You must not ever allow anyone or anything to have that kind of control over your life and your emotions. Just remember that whoever or whatever has control over your mind and your emotions will inevitably have full control over what you do, what you say; And ultimately what you accomplish and where you go. So be sure that you never give anyone or anything that kind of power over you and your life...Not now and not ever.

IMPORTANT PROPHETIC ALERT

The Lord has been revealing many things to His people in this hour, out of His grace and mercy. May we heed what He is showing us. I am grateful!

Remember - God's people should not get into fear when He sends warning dreams or visions out of His mercy. He has promised never to leave us nor forsake us!

We need to pray, prepare as much as possible, and trust our God no matter what may come. I have been warning of many of these things for several years now, so that His people will not get into fear, but be able to stand in faith in difficult times.

Over the last few weeks, quite a number of watchmen and intercessors that are connected to our ministry have shared dreams and/or visions they have had about a coming darkness, as well as some type of food shortage (mostly in America, but also in other nations some). I have also sensed that these things are coming as well, which I have shared some here since summer, but mostly in our prophetic group.

Myself and our admin team qualify what is approved on our closed Prophetic Forum group, to assure people are not being influenced by other things they've seen or heard, but truly what is coming from the Lord. I do believe all of these are warnings being given by Him, and it has also confirmed what I have sensed myself. I know and trust most all of those who have shared, and I know them not to be fanciful or impressionable by others. These are people of prayer, intercession, integrity and proper motive. They truly only share for prayer and many times, they "weren't going to share" until they saw so many others sharing about similar things they've seen/heard.

IS THIS DOOM & GLOOM??

I know many within the prophetic movement have taught, and believed, that the Lord only gives us happy, encouraging, or edifying words or prophetic things. Yet, if we read it scripture, that is not the case. Many times, we see Him warning His people of upcoming famine, war, attack, etc, as a way to help them and encourage them to not give up or be discouraged during that time. In that sense, it is very encouraging. It is His way of letting His people know that He is aware of all things, and He is with them even in the trials and difficult times.

If this last 2 years have taught us anything, I hope it has taught us, that it is better if we do know about the difficult events that are coming, as well as telling us the encouraging words. It does make it easier for us to prepare ourselves, both spiritually and in the natural, if we know in advance.

With that being said, I would like to encourage all to be as prepared as possible for these types of events to occur. We do not have a clear read on just how long these events may last, but we are trying to be as prepared as possible, all while believing it will not be an extended time. We are also not completely clear yet, when these things may happen, but with this increase of many dreams and visions lately, we believe it will be sooner rather than later.

Oh...and have I mentioned there is great Glory and awakening happening as well?!

I'll share more of that soon as well!

Here is a reminder from the "Best of Times, Worst of Times" word released in July 2018...

"Throughout all of the centuries, and we see in the Old and New Testament, God has continuously warned His people of what was coming. It is a part of His mercy and love…so His people can be prepared, and also to warn the world so they can repent and turn. We see examples of this when Joseph was warned there would be 7 years of plenty, then 7 years of famine. He, and those around Him, heeded the warning of the Lord, and because they did, they were all saved, including Joseph’s entire family. (Gen. 41)

Then we see in Acts 11:28, that a Prophet gives a word of warning by the Spirit that a famine was coming to all the world. Because they heeded the warning, and were prepared, we see that they were able to survive, and even have enough to share with other believers.

The Lord speaks and warns through His prophets, and if we will listen and heed the warning, we will be prepared. Amo 3:7 says, 'Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plans (secrets) to His servants the prophets.'

1Chron.12:32 tells us …'The sons of Issachar…had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…'"

In prayer,

Amanda Shiflett - Prophetic Reformer
