HABITATION - God’s ultimate purpose in man
HADES - the Greek word for the underworld, the realm of the dead. It is the word used in the New Testament for Sheol.
HAIL - speaks of judgment
HAIR - long hair belongs to God’s enemies (Deuteronomy 32:42); strength
-- the affection that springs from the spirit, separates you from earthly ties
--hair of Nazarite - consecration and dedication (Numbers 6)
--beautiful hair - inwardly adorned with good works (2 Timothy 2:9-10)
--speaks of vow of dedication (SOS 5:11)
--strength; a person’s glory or intellect
HAMSTER - running in circles; going no where; caged in a confined area
HAND - direction; providences; acts
• A symbol of active power, guided by “skillfulness” Psalm 78:72
HAND OF GOD - when Spirit of prophecy comes forcefully upon a prophet (RAJR)
--grace of God (SOS 5:4) (Acts 11:21-23)
• In Scripture the hand of God is traced in every occurrence of life. Even what we should call ‘natural phenomena’ are
ascribed to Divine agency. Genesis 16:2
HANDLES OF THE LOCK (SOS 5:5) -sins which closed the heart against Him
HANDS - works of ministry (SOS 5:5)
HARAN – Genesis 11
• Life is a lay over (Acts 7:4) Ur Haran Bethel
• A mountain range of hills; a place of being parched, a place of melting, to dry up; to glow, incite passion, promotion
• Out of comfort zone go to not know where fulfillment of promise
• No clarity for your life; but have some perspective for others
• Connect the dots go from one dot to the other completes a picture
• Keep yourself where God put you; don’t jump ship; don’t go to land of milk and honey ahead of time
• Fire can be caused by friction. Friction in life is the Lord
• God changes people before He changes surroundings
• Keys of comfort in Haran:
o Haran is a place of preparation (prepare yourself)
o Haran is a place of connection (time to develop valuable relationships)
o Haran is a place of surrender (to God’s dealings)
Where there is a death, can then move into promise
Settle into death of things in our life
“I die daily”
o Haran is a place of peace
Our mind says we can’t have peace unless know what’s going on; peace is the birthplace of perspective
Absence of stress only in heaven
Peace comes from surrender; surrender causes wars to stop
• Terah had three sons: Abram, Nahor, and Haran. The Bible tells us “Haran died in the presence of his father”
(Genesis 11:28). To lose your son can produce terrible heartache; to have him die in your arms can be utterly
devastating. In time, Terah took his family and left Ur of the Chaldeans in search of a new destiny in Canaan. En route,
however, Terah had to pass through a city with the same name as his deceased son, Haran. Insstead of continuing on to
Canaan, the Scripture says Terah “…went as far as Haran, and settled there”. Genesis 11L31
• Longing for a deceased loved one is normal. However, life’s tragedies also have a way of obligating us to a false
loyalty, which prohibits the release of our pain. Without notice, a face in an airport or a son may suddenly envelope us in
sorrow. How quickly we re-enter the place of our grief; how easy it is to settle there.
• Terah died in Haran (Genesis 11:32). Not only did Terah settle in Haran, he died there. The wording is both
prophetic and significant. Perhaps it was a false sense of guilt that held him hostage; if only I had done such and such …
Whatever the reason, Terah was never able to live beyond Haran’s death.
HARD HEART - (MG) Pour a fluid into a vessel and you will see it rest, quietly bounded by the lines that limit the vase,
and assuming perfectly its exact shape. It has no form or figure of its own, but only that of the vessel in which it is
contained. Such, however, is not the natural pliancy of the soul. It has its own set forms and sharp outline, due to its
habits and inclinations, and its will in self. And when a person refuses to come forth from these we say that he is hard,
that is obstinate and willful. “I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, says the Lord God.”, that is, I will take away their
stiffneckedness. Wood, iron, and stone must feel the wedge, the hammer and the fire before they will change their form;
and so must it be with a heart that resembles them in its hardness and insusceptibility to divine impressions, and
remains entrenched in its own will and fortified by the inclinations which follow in the train of our corrupted nature. A
heart on the other hand that is plastic, soft and yielding, is called a melted or liquified heart. (The Love of God, by
Francis of Sales.)
HARD-HEARTED - destitute of spiritual perception
HARDEN HEART - God hardens by giving blessings. When you bless a child having a tantrum it hardens his heart.
Gives us what we want when we demand wrongly.
--Heart was hardened - Mark 6:52
had not grained insight
failed to consider
dull and last power to understand
nothing penetrated heart
not the sense to learn lessons
minds still in the dark
unable to take in
didn’t want to believe
HARDENING – Romans 1:24-28:
• Natural perversion – immorality
• Unnatural perversion – homosexuality; sex with animals
• A debased mind; spirit of delusion
HARDNESS OF HEART - approach God through the intellect. Ability to perceive darkened. Allow emotions to lead
• The law of Moses considered the hardness of men’s hearts, but the gospel of Christ cures it
• By the law the knowledge of sin, but by the gospel was the conquest of it Matthew 19
HARP - God’s songs and God’s music
HARVEST - can signify a time of judgment
--”the crush” - see note on Chappellet Winery
• In Scripture means two different things: (1) can typify believers being matured or (2) typify sinners ready in coming
to the Lord for salvation
HATE - Things God hates: “Also let none of you devise evil in your heart against another, and do not love perjury, for
all these are what I hate declares the Lord.” Zechariah 8:17
• In many occasions in the OT, the verb ‘hate’ has the basic meaning ‘not to choose’
• Love less (AC)
HEAD - wisdom and purity in the thought life (SOS 7:5)
= hope, the helmet is the hope of salvation
• Heads = seers Isaiah 29:10
HEALINGS
--God heals through:
1. natural physical processes that He has created (Psalm 139:14)
2. proper eating and drinking (1 Timothy 5:23)
3. good mental attitudes (Proverbs 17:22)
4. special divine intervention (John 9:6-7)
--Mind cannot heal:
1. death
2. raise the dead
3. see without eyes
4. grow amputated limbs
5. restore those paralyzed by spinal injury
--Supernatural healings
--do not require faith (1 Corinthians 12:11)
--do not require physical contact (John 4:50-54)
--are always successful (Matthew 19:26)
--have no relapses
--include all kinds of diseases (including organic) (Mark 8:22-25)
--always immediate (Mark 1:42)
--In Geometry if A = B; and B = C; then A = C ........If Jesus came to break the power of sin, and disease is only
inflicted on us through the power of sin, then Jesus broke the power of disease when He broke the power of sin.
HEALTH - Body functions and health problems disrupted due to sin, wrong actions, wrong thinking (see Heart)
HEAR – OBEY – Exodus 20:19
• Incline your ear – submit and consent to the divine will – Isaiah 55:3 Amplified
• Whatever you hear you are forced to see; whatever you see can only be validated by what you hear (KF)
• If you have ears to hear, then hear. You may have enjoyed the story, but have you heard it? Hearing means do you
understand, and are you going to do something about it. It’s an RSVP – He wants a response to what He has said
• Decision to believe - confirmation
HEART - inner man (Psalm 101 - a man follows his heart or eyes--the external attractions.)
--Anxiety in the heart of man weighs it down (makes heavy) but a good word makes it glad (Proverbs 12:25)
--new heart comes with regeneration
--pure heart comes by baptism of the Holy ghost & fire
--issues of life
--center of rational life
• In Bible psychology, the heart is the seat of intellect, not of feeling (Jewish)
• Matthew 6:6 ‘When you pray, enter into your inner chamber’, that is, your inner heart, ‘and having closed the door’, that
is of your senses, and there with a pure heart and a clear conscience, and with faith unfeigned, ‘pray to your Father’, in
spirit and in truth, ‘in secret’, This can be done best when a man is disengaged and removed from everything else, and
completely recollected within himself. There, in the presence of Jesus Christ, with everything, in general and individually,
excluded and wiped out, the mind alone turns in security confidently to the Lord its God with its desire. In this way it pours
itself forth into him in full sincerity with its whole heart and the yearning of its love, in the most inward part of all its
faculties, and is plunged, enlarged, set on fire and dissolved into him.
• It is frequently put for the whole soul, and that for the most part when it is set alone; “Serve the Lord with all your
heart” 1 Samuel 12:20
• For that principal part of the soul which is called the mind or understanding, “I gave my heart to know wisdom”
Ecclesiastes 1:17. In this respect darkness and blindness are attributed to the heart. Ephesians 4:18, Romans 1:21
• For the will: as when heart and soul are joined together, the two essential faculties of the soul are meant, namely,
the mind and will; soul put for the mind, heart for the will. “Serve the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul”
Deuteronomy 11:13
• For the memory. “I have hid thy word in my heart” said the prophet Psalm 119:11 The memory is that faculty
wherein matters are laid up and hid
• For the conscience. It is said that “David’s heart smote him”, that is, his conscience. 1 Samuel 24:5
• For the affections; as where it is said, “Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all they mind”. Matthew 22:37. By the mind is meant the understanding faculty; by the soul, the will; by the
heart, the affections.
• Heart and bones – mental and physical health Isaiah 66:14
• Whole inward being – P&H – Ezekiel 36:26
• Seat of memory – Deut 4:9 P&H
• For Hebrew thought, the heart is the centre of human being, including understanding and will as well as emotions.
Soul is the principle of being, the source of life and strength. (Z)
HEART OF THE FATHERS TO THE CHILDREN – this attitude of the Father towards the child: the child carrying on is as
the highest of human treasures Genesis 15:2
• Jewish thought is that little children are as “the Messiahs of mankind”, i.e., the child is the perennial regenerative
force in humanity because in the child God continually gives mankind a chance to make good its mistakes
HEARTSICKNESS - the product of unrequited power. Psalm 63:2 “So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see
Your power and Your glory”. Heartsickness weeps, “Show me Your hand!” Lovesickness is the consequence of
unrequited love. It weeps “Show me Your face!”
HEAT – (of the sun) felt presence Psalm 19
HEAVEN: First heaven was before the fall of man; or visible heaven we see
Second heaven is the spiritual realm during the reign of evil upon the earth.
Third heaven - when love and domain of the Father will again prevail over the earth through the King (Final Quest p 45)
--Second Heaven - where demonic forces reside and make plans
• IN heaven each person’s vision of God will be that some see more, others less, but all see Him and are happy
because, whatever their capacity, it is fully satisfied. (JoC)
HEBREW - someone who crossed over from the other side; a sojourner, a pioneer
HELL – is the destruction both of soul and body; not of the being of either, but the well-being of both Matthew 10:28
• The body and the soul are distinct principles, for the body may be slain and the soul escape
• Proof that there is hell – for both soul and body. Hell has elements of suffering adapted to the material as well
as the spiritual part of our nature.
• IN hell the torments:
o Deprived of seeing Jesus
o Worm of conscious/bitter regret
o Sight of the devil
o Fire – in proportion to sins
HELPS - Ministry of Helps - Acts 6:3

heaven
HERON
• Leviticus 11:19 – an abomination among birds; not to be eaten

• Isaiah 38:14 – chattered like a crane
• Jeremiah 8:7 – know the time of crane – swift their coming; but My people do not know the judgment of the Lord
• Jeremiah 5:4 – they do not know the way of the Lord, the judgment of their God
• Jeremiah 9:3 they do not know Me
HESHBON - pools were abundantly clear. It was easy to see through as opposed to muddy waters.
--fish pools - abundant fish, which speaks of grace
HIDE - God hides to produce faith (Deuteronomy 32:20)
HIGH PLACES - worship God in way or place He had not prescribed (RJ)
HIGH PRIEST - wore bells and pomegranates (message going forth and healing) every time He moves the message of
healing goes forth
HILL OF FRANKINCENSE - Calvary
HILLS - personal difficulties in our lives (SOS 2:8)
--more external parts of soul (MG)
-smaller than mountains (SOS 4:6 - a little prayer overcomes mountains)
HINDS FEET - if feet of hinds are yours, you will need all their sureness and their speed, for He who gave them to you will also
set you on high places while others are suffered to advance slowly through the valley. If much is given, much will also be
required; and if much is given in one form, much may be withheld in another.
HIPPOPOTAMUS - somebody opening their big mouth
HIS NAME - a reference to His character

HOLINESS - is proximity to the throne
--God’s holiness = totally different from everything that existed
--self-denial the root of all holiness (DTC)

--to humble gives unearned power to be changed
--a heart that will constantly give away the credit
--willing to take the blame, lower yourself. Nothing in you to make an excuse
--Humble man the opposite of the presumptuous. The presumptuous person imagines he can do everything and can do
nothing; thinks he can excel all, and excels in nothing; promises everything, and performs nothing.
--Humbling of heart done by (1) the urge of the Spirit (2) pressure of circumstances
(3) distress of fruitless living
--Humble people see their weaknesses as opportunities for the power of Christ to rest on them
--(FF) How do we know when we are humble? When God speaks, we tremble. God is looking for a man who trembles at
His word. Such a man will find the Spirit of God resting upon him; he will become a dwelling place for the Almighty.
HUMILITY - simple agreement with God (RJ)
--The degree of our humility determines the limitations of our usefulness to God (Moore)
--Humility is reality. Can’t “try” to be humble. It happens when walking in truth.
--Humility hindered by pride and that in deception.
--When judge others trying to establish your own self-righteousness.
--Not seek who is right. Seek what is right. Seek truth; love the truth; If truth shows you are wrong, have the humility to
admit it.
--Your humility, your protection from deception.
--Anointing will frequently humiliate you.
--Walk in truth; for it is absolutely true to say that we have no good thing in ourselves, but only misery and nothingness;
and anyone who fails to understand this is walking in falsehood.
--Make low: what you do to yourself, not what others do
--Humility lives in reality and truth; pride lives in lies and deception
--Should God be merciful to us and grant us even a small measure of revelation, so that we can see ourselves as we are
seen by Him, we shall immediately be smitten to the ground. We need not try to be humble. Those who live in the light
cannot be proud. It is only while dwelling in darkness that we can be proud. Outside of God’s light men can be arrogant
and haughty; but under the revelation of the light they can only prostate themselves before Him. (Nee)
--Full of love of God
--No man so humble as he whose heart is cleansed form all sin
--True humility arises from a sense of fullness of God in the soul
--Takes as much care to avoid ostentation of a refusal as the seeking of superior place Luke14:7
--Some give appearance of humility in order to manipulate
--truly humble compare themselves only with Christ
--humility is realistic affirmation
--humble because of relationship with God
--LB Proverbs 1:23 - humility is the bridge that connects us to Him
--From “Two Trees” page 187
--One of true humility will only be further humbled by the greatest accolades of God & man
--True humility is not an inferiority complex. True humility comes from seeing the majesty of the Lord
--In His kingdom, the purpose of authority and position is for serving
--Living Bible page 1760: True humility is not convincing yourself that you are worthless, but recognizing God’s work in
you. It is having God’s perspective on who you are and acknowledging his grace in developing your abilities.
--humility is simply to see yourself as you really are (Mountains of Spices p 195)
-A humble man believes what God says about him is true (HC) Egotistical man will only believe what somebody else says
and what he says about himself. Cross over line when believe yourself and others and not God. “I’m worthy” instead of
made worthy by God.
--basic quality is to be teachable
--Humility = truth; pride = lie --Humility the pathway to intimacy
--Humility is not the denial of our attributes. It is believing in our hearts that our best qualities are not good enough to
cause us to deserve God’s attention or even gain us the lowest position of service to Him
--Humility is almost always acquired in the desert
--Mature can receive from immature (SOS 5:9) (MB) without any spirit of pride
--basic quality is the knowledge of our dependency on God (RJ)
--true humility is in agreement with truth (RJ)
--false humility denies
--one of greatest signs is fear of living wrong (Nee)
--self-knowledge (C of U)
--Is not maintained by memory. Does a humpback need to remember his hump? (Nee)
• Humility – according to the scripture – is making no defense, no excuse – but deliberately taking the low place. (MD)
• Is when we choose to trust in the strength and power of the Lord, and not in our own abilities or lack of abilities (RM)
• True humility is agreement with the truth
• Can relate whole circumstance simply and honestly – Genesis 43 – Joseph’s brothers
HUMOR – Hebrew humor is done through exaggeration (camel through eye of needle)
HUNGER AND THIRST
-Hunger and thirst are appetites that return frequently, and call for fresh satisfactions.
-The quickened soul calls for constant meals of righteousness, grace to do the work of every day in its day
-those who hunger and thirst will labor for supplies; so we must not only desire spiritual blessings, but take pains for them in
the use of the appointed means.
HUNGER FOR GOD - The only appetite God wants in His dwelling place is the desire for the perfect fulfillment of His will
and the carrying of the cross of Christ.
HURT = anger held in your heart over a long period of time (and is sin)
HUSBAND - Hosea 2:16 the first time declared “My Husband”
• It is interesting in Ephesians 5:33 that husbands are commanded to love their wives, but wives are not commanded
to love their husbands, but rather to respect them. This is because, as a generalization, women tend to need more love
than respect, and men tend to need more respect than love. This does not mean that women do not need respect, or
men love, but the order of needs tend to be different for men and women.
HYPOCRISY - There are two sins which claim pre-eminence in hell: hypocrisy and unbelief. Therefore sinners are
warned not to have their ‘portion with the hypocrites’ (Matthew 24:51) or with ‘unbelievers’ (Luke 12:46). It seems that
infernal mansions are reserved principally for the sins of hypocrisy and unbelief and that all others are inferior prisoners.
But of the two unbelief is the greater, for it is called “the damning sin”. “He that believeth not is condemned already”.
(John 3:18). The unbelieving person carries his own warrant to jail; in a sense he is already imprisoned, for he wears
the brand of a damned person.
HYPOCRITE – a hypocrite is a person who puts on religious behavior in order to gain attention, approval, acceptance, or
admiration from others
• Disciples are in most danger from hypocrites; against those that are openly vicious they stand upon their guard,
and therefore the caution is doubled “take heed and beware”
• Description: they draw near to God with their mouth and honor him with their lips but their heart is far from Him
• How far a hypocrite goes: he does not stand at that distance which those are at who live without God in the world for
they go to the temple to pray; they join with those who honor God. From the teeth outwards he shows much love and that
is all, there is in his heart no true love
• The matter a hypocrite comes short in: their heart is far from Me – habitually alienated and estranged, actually
wandering and dwelling upon something else.
• A hypocrite says one thing, but thinks another. The great thing that God looks at and requires is the heart
(Proverbs 23:26)
• When men’s inventions are tacked to God’s institutions, and imposed accordingly, this is hypocrisy, a mere human
religion. God will have His own work done by His own rules, and accepts not that which He did not Himself appoint. That
only comes to Him, that comes from Him
• The doom of hypocrites: their worship does not attain the end for which it was appointed; it will neither please God,
nor profit themselves. Lip labor is lost labor.
HYSSOP – it was to be sprinkled with a bunch of hyssop dipped in the basin. Faith is the bunch of hyssop by which we
apply the promises to ourselves
• A wild aromatic herb similar to oregano, which was thrown into the fire when the red heifer was offered as a burnt
sacrifice during Temple times. Hyssop is known for its ability to purify the blood, which in Psalm 51:9 had symbolic, as
well as medicinal significance.
