Yada Yada

The Women's fellowship at church decided to read the Yada Yada Pray Group series this summer. They have been excellent. The author Neta Jackson teaches such important truths that we may think we already know, like grace and forgiveness. I found this and thought I would share.


The Definition of Yada:

TO KNOW GOD - This is Eternal Life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent."
- John 17:3

"So that you may know and believe Me (God), and understand that I am He."
- Isaiah 43:10

"Teach me your ways, so that I may know you and continue to find favor with you." - Exodus 33:13

OLD TESTAMENT - The Hebrew word "yada" is used in the Old Testament and is translated in English as the word "Know" or "Knowledge".

The Hebrew word yada has a much wider sweep and meaning than the English word know. The Biblical Old Testament word for Knowing God means the following; TO KNOW GOD means:

  • to Perceive -
  • to Learn

  • to Understand -
  • to Recognize

  • to Believe -
  • to Accept His Claims

  • to Conform -
  • to Be Willing

  • to Perform -
  • or Live

  • to Obey
  • to See or Experience

    I want God's consuming passion

    Matthew West has a new song - The Motions

    It is a prayer, a desire

    The Chorus
    I don't wanna go through the motions
    I don't wanna go one more day
    Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
    I don't wanna spend my whole life asking
    What if I had given everything?
    Instead of going through the motions

    More Beautiful You

    I really love the words to this new song by Jonny Diaz this is the chorus
    There could never be a more beautiful you
    Don’t buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
    You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
    So there could never be a more beautiful you
