AARON - process for him to become the High Priest:
a. He was the brother of the main man
b. He was always in the shadow of Moses
c. Always in the shadow of a man having experiences with God
d. When time is right, he gives in to the expectations of the people
e. He steps out prematurely and makes a golden calf
f. There are golden calves on every street corner in every city
(1) Ministry built that the people built
(2) Gave up their earrings for the right to hear God
(3) People will give up hearing from God in order to get what they want
g. Aaron terribly failed but it was not the end of him
h. Aaron is brought to the door of the tabernacle and he is stripped, washed, and
marvelous garments put on him
i. Nobody can remember what Aaron used to be from looking at him now
j. He had to be stripped of his own identity
(1) He was the most learned man in all of Egypt
(2) God couldn’t work with his mind
--Aaron is a type. God guards His types. Why did Miriam get leprosy and not Aaron? Aaron held a high office: High
Priest. He was appointed as mediator. Foreshadow of Christ.
ABEL - his offering was first fruit; Cain’s at the end (in the process of time)
ABRAHAM - Abraham’s name was changed from Abram when God’s involvement in his life increased to the point that the
promises were sealed in covenant. Abraham was that person who forsook his earthly roots while finding new identity in
the heavenly call.
ABRAHAMIC COVENANT: God put Abraham to sleep (Genesis 15:12-21) - God’s covenant is unconditional. We are not
involved. It does not depend on our works. God does it.
ABSALOM SPIRIT - has the favor of people and not the leader
ABYSS - place of enemies of God
ACACIA WOOD - humanity; one of most gnarled and twisted woods and most difficult to work with but He chose it to
build His temple out of
ACCEPT - Accept with joy all that happens to and everything along the path. Never try to evade but accept and lay down
your will on the altar
--Accept as is; love as is
ACCUSATION - opposite of is agreement with God. This agreement called praise.
ACCUSER OF BRETHREN – that is the devil’s job description. To steal our confidence. Paul says God has set it up this
way on purpose. 2 Corinthians 4:5
ACTIONS – what done here by the body result in eternal punishment or reward
ACTS OF HIS GOVERNMENT - Revelation 3:7
(1) He opens
(2) He shuts
None may shut when He opens. None opens when He shuts. The way and manner in which He performs these acts
is absolute sovereignty. When He works, none can hinder.
ADAM - God gave Adam message to preach of dominion
--God told Adam to re-plenish the earth
-2nd man Adam died FOR His bride; 1st man died with His bride--he could have died for her
--SECOND ADAM:
-When Jesus came He walked as a man was supposed to walk but never did
-Jesus was Adam in all the potential he never got
-Jesus didn’t open blind eyes as the Son of God. He was doing it as a man under the auspices of the leading of
the Spirit taking dominion over everything that denied the authenticity of the power of the Kingdom
-When Jesus walked on the water He was doing what Adam could have done if he had not eaten of the tree
-Every miracle Jesus performed, He performed as a man under auspices of Holy spirit in faith that God would
do what He would do. There was not one ounce of suspicion in His heart. He knew if His father said it, His word was true
and could not be compromised and every step he took He was not walking on the water. He was walking on the promises
of God.
-When we “decide” we want that more than necessary food, we will realize we have been playing church
instead of being the church.
-He’s always ready to arrive but we’re not always ready to receive. We’re asleep and don’t want to get up.
ADONAI - is the word which the Jews in reading always substitute for Jehovah, as they count it impious to pronounce this
name. Adonai signifies my “director, basis, supporter, prop, or stay”.
-Adonai is the word which the Jews in reading always substitute for Jehovah, as they count it impious to pronounce this
name. Adonai signifies my “director, basis, supporter, prop, or stay”.
ADOPTED - under Jewish law, an adopted child is equal in every way to the firstborn and enjoys all the inheritance and
privileges thereof. Jesus is the Firstborn from the dead. He is Lord, Head of the Church. He sits at the Father’s
right hand in all authority and power.
ADRENALINE - every adrenaline high has an adrenaline line which is mild depression
ADULTERY - see Spiritual adultery
--acts of adultery - divided heart or issues of a flesh dream
--if more than one dream of act of adultery in short time period - you have a divided heart
--if just once in a while you are hanging around someone with that spirit and you are getting slimmed
ADVENTITIOUS – to have an adventitious quality is to say that something has a quality or characteristic which doesn’t
naturally belong to it, but which has been supplied by some outside source. It is the same as saying that something has
an accidental quality.
AFFLICT - Afflict your souls – well indicated the spiritual aim of fasting. As the principal source of sin is the gratification
of bodily appetites, the fast is to demonstrate to the sinner that man can conquer all physical cravings, that the spirit can
always master the body. The abstention from all food and from gratification of other bodily desires must be accompanied
by deep remorse at having fallen short of what it was in our power to be and to do as members of the House of Israel.
Without such contrite confession, accompanied by the solemn resolve to abandon the way of evil, fasting in itself is not
the fulfillment of the Divine command and purpose of the Day of Atonement. Repentance, prayer and beneficence can
change the whole current of a man’s life and destiny and lead to perfect atonement. (Penn & Haft)
• Afflict your souls – fasting – the intensest form of devotion and contrition
AFFLICTION - out of affliction comes fruit (see meaning of Bethany)
--the benefit of afflictions: they often prove the happy and effectual means of awakening conscience. Genesis 42:21
AGONY - conflict
AIR BALLOON - in dream means peaceful rising in the Spirit
ALLIGATORS - if in dream somebody opening their big mouth
ALMIGHTY = Sufficient One (Shaddai) (Is 13:6)
ALTAR - built an altar: returned God’s visit, and kept up his correspondence with heaven, as one that resolved it should not
fail on his side. Wherever he had a tent God had an altar, and that an altar sanctified by prayer. Genesis 12:9
ALTAR OF INCENSE - expression of prayer
AMALEK = the power that “freezes” man, causing him to see only “absurd chance” and therefore deny an ethical conscience
and the moral perfection it entails-satan in the Old Testament; “the enemy forever”
AMASA = burden; spared because had spirit of Absalom/ sin but not iniquity
AMBASSADOR - diplomatic immunity; can’t be judged by law of the foreign land; sent back to home land for judgment; here
on a mission
AMEN - the saints used Amen at the end of prayer, or in assenting to the word of God; but none, save the Son of God,
ever said, “Amen, I say unto you” for it is the language peculiar to God, who avers by Himself. The New Testament
formula “Amen, I say unto you” is equivalent to the Old Testament formula, “as I live, says Jehovah”. In John’s Gospel
alone He uses the double “amen” which we translate “verily, verily”. Amen expresses the unchangeable truth of His
promises.
AMORITES - defeating kings of picture of conquering the flesh
--Genesis 15:16 - iniquity of: postponement of the penalty indicates Divine forbearance. God would give them full
time to repent. Meanwhile, the gradually accumulating guilt of the Amorites rendered dire punishment inevitable. God’s
prescience was certain that their hearts were forever turned from Him.
--Genesis 15:13-16 – God tells Abraham you’re going to be the father of a great nation. However, there is one little
set back. Your people are going to go into slavery for 400 years – into Egypt (a foreign land) into slavery for 400 years.
And the Lord doesn’t give the whole counsel of God, but one little sliver of His counsels – one reason you’re going to go
into slavery for 400 years – there are several reasons (very important ones) – because the land of Canaan that you are
going to inherit, the sin of the Amorites (the people living in Canaan) will not be mature for 400 more years. And in My
righteousness (is the idea – He didn’t say this), I will not – I will not – drive them out of the land until their sin is ripe and
justice demands they’re driven off of the land. And He says it will take 400 years. Abraham tells Sarah, “Sarah, our kids
– our great grandkids – are going into slavery for 400 years because the land God promised us we can’t have it in justice
and in truth and in righteousness until the sin of the resident people reaches maturity and reaches heaven.” That is what
Revelation 18:5 is talking about. The sins of the entire planet will reach heaven like the sin of the Amorites reached
heaven and the earth will demand the justice of God, will demand action in full wrath.
AMORY - a place stored up weapons for war (SOS 4:4) - a resolute will to obey God
AMPLIFIED - Someone said this version is for the hearing impaired
AMUSEMENT - Why is it that the world needs so much amusement? Because its people need these many stimulations
to help them forget their distresses. The more the unrest and unhappiness inside, the greater the desire for outside
stimuli. Drinking, for example, is to wash away sorrow. We have no sorrow, so we have not the need of washing it away
with alcohol.
ANCIENT OF DAYS - in regard to His eternity
ANGEL OF LIGHT - brings truth without grace (RJ)
ANGELS - the angels had authority in past ages; today the Son is the authority – Hebrews
--Angels are proclaimers and protectors (Genesis 3:23-24; Luke 2:8-14)
--In the structure of heaven, God created archangels: Gabriel, Michael and Lucifer. Gabriel is in charge of
heaven’s telecommunications. He brought word to Mary concerning the birth of Jesus. He appeared to Zachariah
regarding John the Baptist’s birth. And he spoke to Daniel about end-time prophecy. Michael is the warrior angel.
Daniel 10:13. Lucifer was the archangel in charge of song and praise in heaven before he rebelled. (LS)
ANGER - root of anger is thinking we are right and everyone else is wrong
--impulsive response to the experience of being deprived
--when my sense of self depends on what others say of me, anger is a quite natural reaction to a critical world
--weeping is part of grief process. When you refuse to weep, you end up in rage and anger. You then direct your anger
towards the object of what represents the opposite of what you want: freedom (MC)
--a state of mind arising from a sense of violated justice or obstructed agenda. It permeates our beings, affecting our
emotions, bodies, and every other part of us. It releases two adrenalines in our bodies to intensify our responses when
we feel threatened.
--Ephesians 4:26-27 states it is not always sin. Only when it goes underground awaiting the event that will release
its violent explosion is it sin. Anger cannot be left to simmer without giving the devil an open door.
--Three kinds of offenses of anger:
1. Anger against a man accompanied with some injurious act
2. Contempt - expressed by the opporbrious ephithet with verbal terms like fool or worthless
3. Hatred and mortal enmity - expressed with verbage of what cannot be proved - a rebel against God or spiritual
bankrupt
--Three degrees of punishment of anger:
1. Judgment - the council of 23 which could inflict the punishment of strangling
2. The Sanhedrin - the great council which could inflict the punishment of stoning
3. Burnt alive - in hell fire
--basic selfishness that is usually the result of feeling that our rights or interests were somehow violated
--Beware lest we try to understand the life and nature of the Lord with our old life and nature. Being so full of the
flesh we cannot utter weighty words. Even if we say them, there is no power. We voice them only when we get angry.
This is what our old life and nature is. How different it is with the Lord! When He says these weighty words, He is not
angry at all. He could say these things and still pray. Thus it proves that when voicing such strong words, His heart was
still full of the love of God. His fellowship with the Father had not been interrupted, and His heart continued to be filled
with thanksgiving. (Nee) Matthew 11:20-24
--Anger is the defense mechanism of pride, works to keep us from having to face our fallenness and resists our
need for correction. Anger aimed outward is outbursts of rage and control. Anger aimed inward is depression and self-
hatred. (AH)
• Mistreatment exposes the great enemy of our soul: price manifesting in anger. The crucible places pressures on
the human heart that expose the fault lines underneath the surface. Mistreatment and opposition touches places of pride
otherwise unnoticed in our controlled environments. (AH)
ANIMAL - if in dream see a form of an animal but can see through it = a spiritual issue
ANN - means the grace of God; not the person Ann but the Fragrance of the Lord is with you
ANOINTED (THE) - in the New Testament “the anointed” is the Body
ANOINTING - Who do you say that I am Peter? Thou art the Christ (the Anointed)
--On THIS rock (the anointing), I will build My church
--Jesus was Son of God from day of birth to end but when anointing came it was time to step out and take His ministry
--Jesus did not/would not/could not do anything apart from anointing (KC)
--Anointings and gifts equip you for service to God; it does not rescue you from weakness or strengthen your walk with God;
it is given for service. (BH)
--Anointing = marking
--Greek word for anointed = Christ
--Hebrew rod for anointed = Messiah
--Every believer anointed to ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor 5:18)
--what are you doing with anointing you have now?
--what would you do with double portion?
--to get more anointing, give it out and the anointing will increase
--when first receive anointing it is to minister to you personally so God can change you and then it is to be given out
--there is a river anointing John 7:38
--draw on the anointing when it is heavy on someone else
--Three levels of anointing:
1. Outer Court
2. Inner Court
3. Holy of Holies
a. Moses was there
b. First 100 years of Church
c. Sapphira and Anaias died there
--What causes anointing to come:
-God plans a level of anointing for every meeting - you can detect in prayer
-level of anointing depends on level of hunger in the heart
-God plans levels of anointing
-Anointing doesn’t come in straight line - it is wavy: (up and down)
ANOINTING OF JESUS (Zondervan)
Luke Mark/Matthew John

ANOINTING OIL – Stacte – oozes forth or dropped; Colossians 3:16 – word dwells richly; word will ooze out. Onycha –
grounded aromatic power; offering ourselves as living sacrifice. Galbanum – aromatic, bitter gum; choice part of spice;
oily substance; need understanding of God’s goodness.
• The anointing oil is called the crown of glory and a diadem of beauty. (MH)
ANSWER - attention to our request expressed. It does not mean acquiescence. It may be a refusal, an explanation, a
promise, a conditional grant. (MD)
ANTI-ANOINTING
--Christ = Anointed
ANTI-CHRIST = anti-anointing
- in the place of Christ
ANTS - irritation, unwanted guests (demonic attack)
--won’t really harm you but are painful
--if crawling all over you but not biting = something you need to pay attention to
--Proverbs says consider the ant; store for future
ANXIETY - Oswald Chambers said “Anxiety is infidelity towards God” (unfaithfulness). If you worry you are proud; if you
are anxious you are proud.
--anxious/worry - to borrow trouble from the future
-Anxiety is the pride that makes us think “we” have to do it. this is too big for God
APOSTLE :
--Qualifications for being an apostle:
1. They have seen the Lord – 1 Corinthians 9:1
2. Personally commissioned by Lord – Mark 3:14 (no election or campaign by people)
3. Suffer greatly for cause of Christ – 2 Corinthians 11 (persecuted inside and outside the church)
--Ministry of apostles:
1. Called to be friends of Lord Jesus – Mark 3:14
2. Witnesses of Jesus – Acts 1:8
3. Master builders of church – authority over church and doctrine; structure and relationships which create Christ’s
character in church; move in greatest power of that generation – Acts 2:43
APOSTOLIC CHRISTIANITY (Philippians 3:10) = intimacy, ministry, hardship - SOS 7:12
APOSTASY:
1. Its cause. The marriage of the sons of God and the daughters of men (Genesis 6:1,2)
2. Its effect on the human race. Men forgot God and became giants in wickedness (Genesis 6:3,4)
3. Its effect on the Creator: “And the Lord repented that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His
heart”. (Genesis 6:6) The word “repent” always describes a change in something. There is a sense in which God
cannot change. He is always God, omnipotent and eternal. There is a sense in which He changes His purposes toward
us, otherwise forgiveness would be impossible.
• Rejection of truth once believed and proclaimed (DW)
• Confuse maturity for independence from God; spiritual adultery (turning from God) Ezekiel 16:15
APPLE TREE - that which refreshes
APPLES - refreshing; seeds; fertility
ARM - strength; our work
--seal upon arm (SOS 8:6) = sanctified acts instead of the arm of the flesh; Holy Spirit inspired activities
--secular power – military might Zechariah 11:17
ARM OF GOD- Isaiah 59 when God could find no one to intercede, He sent “His arm” (Jesus)
ARM OF THE LORD - might, power
ARMAGEDDON – “Ge-Hinnom” – the valley where the wicked kings practiced the horrible rite of sacrificing their children
to their gods – became a synonym for ‘hell’
ARROGANCE (religious) - an unholy confidence to judge
ARROW - The convictions impressed by the word of God are sharp arrows, they reach at a distance.
ARROW (making of):
1. Bark is removed
a. Removes the veneer of your life

ASSEMBLY - Church
ASSUMPTION - assumptions reported as rumors become facts
ASSYRIA – successful (RH)
ASTHMA - behind it is spirit of fear (BS)
ATLANTA - from the ashes help people restore lies
ATONEMENT - Genesis 32:20 - present = “kapar” = atonement. Jacob tried to make atonement to his brother Esau but
there is no atonement without divine intervention.
--At-one-ment – setting at one – reconciliation – per Jewish scripture Exodus 29:33
• Note that the initiative in atonement is with the sinner. He cleanses himself on the Day of Atonement by fearless
self-examination, open confession, and the resolve not to repeat the transgressions of the past year. When our
Heavenly Father sees the abasement of the penitent sinner, He – and not the High Priest or any other Mediator –
sprinkles, as it were, the clean waters of pardon and forgiveness upon him. (P&H)
ATTACK - an attack on another person is an attack against God
--Cycles of attack (3, 6 years; twice a year, once a month) (Stone)
--When God wants to bless you, He sends a person to bless you. When satan wants to destroy you, He sends a person to
destroy you. Have to know if you attracted it or God sent it.
--Law of first attack: if catch the enemy he must repay seven times. A two ton attack gets a two ton anointing.
--God waits for enemy to move. He can’t move first because if He tilted scale in His own favor it would be unjust.
ATTIC - past, memories, old things, things you’ve accumulated and not using but may want to use again at some point
ATTITUDES - new attitudes achieved through humiliation, pain, suffering, and defeat (Ezekiel 6:8 LB)
ATTRIBUTES OF GOD
Three essential attributes are mentioned in Genesis 24:9:
1. His self-existence and eternity in the name Jehovah
2. His dominion of glory and blessedness in the kingdom of heaven
3. His providence and bounty in the earth
The meaning of the oath seems to be this: “As God is unchangeable in His nature and purposes, so shall I be in this
engagement, under the penalty of forfeiting all expectation of temporal prosperity, the benefits of the mystical covenant,
and future glory.”
Glorious in holiness – the essential distinguishing attribute of the God of Israel - Exodus 15:11
13 attributes of God (Exodus 34:6, 7)
1. Merciful before a person sins
2. Merciful after sinning and accepting repentance
3. Powerful mercy
4. Compassionate
5. Gracious
6. Slow to anger
7. Abundant in kindness
8. Abundant in truth
9. Preserver of kindness to a thousand generations
10. Forgiver of iniquity
11. Forgiver of willful sin
12. Forgiver of error
13. God who cleanses
The revelation of God’s moral attributes of love and mercy is the source of the sublime principle of the
“Imitation of God”. This Jewish ideal, ‘one of the most advanced triumphs of religion’ goes back to the Divine
demand in Leviticus 19:2 “Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy’. Israel is not only to serve God, but
to imitate Him. Mortal man, however, cannot imitate God’s infinity, omnipotence or eternity. That side of His nature,
which is beyond human comprehension, is also beyond human imitation. But we can know His goodness and we
can follow His ways of mercy and forgiveness.
AUTHORITY - what one in authority does, even a heathen, either blesses or afflicts all the people
--For I also am a man set under authority Luke 7:8
--”The works I do are done by the Father in Me. I ask the Father to tell Me what to speak. Whatever I do, I am under total
authority of the Father in me” John 5:36; 14:10,11
--M. Hickey: If you want to move in authority in the Word, if you want to take the Word as authority over circumstances,
you yourself must come under the authority of that Word. The Word has to be your total authority.
--There is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Romans 13:1
--Spiritual authority is a burden to be borne; with authority comes responsibility
--Adam’s authority caused the whole world to suffer. The more authority you walk in, the more people will suffer from
your mistakes.
--Order of evil authority (Ephesians 6:12)
principalities
powers
rules of darkness of this age
spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenlies
AUTOMOBILE - often represents a person’s individual ministry
AWAKENING – a time of such intense visitation that both the Christian and non-Christian communities are affected (A revival could be
described as a visitation of God’s Spirit on God’s people; revivals alter the lives of individuals, awakenings alter the world view of a whole
people or culture) (Ireland’s Lost Heritage)
AWESOME - Moses called God “great, mighty, and awesome God” (Deuteronomy 10:17, but Daniel left off might.
Jeremiah left off awesome (because awesome refers only to Temple and the Temple was destroyed). Daniel said
awesome because of deeds they experienced. Didn’t say mighty because heathens enslaved His children so where
were His mighty deeds?
