Welcome To Living Light of Shekinah
Living Light of Shekinah, what does it mean?
Living Light – is the Glory of God Our heavenly Father – Light shining into the darkness.
*Ps 119:105- Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light for my path.
Ps 27:1- God is my Light & my Salvation, who shall I fear.
John 8:12- Jesus said I am the Light of the World
John1:5- The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Shekinah – Hebrew, Holy Spirit- שכינה šekīnah “the Divine Presence, Divine Feminine of God. “Dwelling”
Leviticus 16:2 “I will appear in the cloud above the Mercy Seat.” The glory of the Lord (the Shekinah) also appeared above the Ark of the Covenant in the Most Holy Place in the sanctuary, and later in Solomon’s temple.
“Shekinah Glory” is a symbol referring to that divine presence. God promised to “dwell among” His people: “And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony”. Exodus 25:22.
Exodus 13: 21, Exodus 40:34, Numbers 9:15-23.
Matthew 17- the “transfiguration” of Jesus”, Jesus was suddenly covered in Shekinah glory. “His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light, a bright cloud overshadowed them.”
Revelation 15:8- “The temple (in heaven) was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.”
Revelation 14:14-16- Jesus will return the second time in the same cloud of glory.
Revelation 21- In the New Jerusalem it is the “Glory of God” that is the power source for all light, and “those who are saved shall walk in its light.”

2023 Hebrew Year 5783-
Ps 103:2-3 says “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits (g’mul from gimmel). Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction…”. The psalmist is here reminding us of God’s abundant blessings in our lives. These blessings are not just financial, but also include salvation, healing and redemption. For the year ahead, let us take heed to the psalmists admonition and give thanks to God for the many blessings we enjoy in our lives.
The Hebrew Sages say that the letter Gimmel resembles a man walking. Where is this man walking? He is walking in the direction of the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet – the letter Dalet. Dalet comes from a root word meaning weakness and poverty, in contrast to Gimmel that relates to abundance and blessing. Like Gimmel, we are all truly blessed in so many ways by God’s blessings. And in this year ahead, let us remember to be generous with those blessings and share with those who are less fortunate than ourselves.
From the word Gimmel we also get the Hebrew word for camel. When a camel stops to drink, it can consume large amounts of water. This large reserve of water can keep a camel going for up to a week’s travel through harsh desert climates. The Holy Spirit is described in John 4 as a fountain of living water within us and a source that similarly satisfies us so that we ‘never thirst again’. In this year ahead, let us be like the camel and drink abundantly of God’s Spirit, storing up a reserve within us to handle any difficult times we might face.
On the Day of Pentecost, the 3rd person of the God-head, the Holy Spirit (who is also connected to the letter Gimmel), was poured out in abundance on the disciples. Being filled with the Spirit to overflow, they began to speak in tongues and prophesy, and were filled with a new sense of boldness and power. Although many of us have had similar experiences in the past, Paul reminds us of the need to be continually filled with the Spirit (Eph 5:18). In other words, let us not just settle for our past encounters with Him, but let’s seek Him this year for a fresh outpouring of His Spirit.
From the word Gimmel, we also get the word ‘to wean’. A weaned child is one who is no longer demanding food constantly from his or her mother, but can instead simply rest in the loving embrace of their parents. In the year ahead, the Holy Spirit wants to bring us to maturity, so we are no longer just seeking God for our own needs, but are simply coming to enjoy His presence and to give Him the glory He deserves.
Gimmel relates to God’s abundant blessings, to our responsibility of being generous, to finding satisfaction in God and bearing much fruit for Him. May we see this in the year ahead!
The Hebrew Letter Peh (80)- Peh represents a mouth, speech and language.Jesus declared ‘out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks’ (Luke 6:45). In other words, you can often tell the contents of a person’s heart by the words they speak. Are we speaking words of complaint, bitterness and anger, or words of praise and thanksgiving?
If our words are constantly negative, we need to break the cycle and change the words we speak as we believe the answer can also be found by examining what we are allowing into our hearts. We need daily take the time to fill our hearts with God’s promises and enter His presence. Let our hearts be full of thanksgiving as we daily remind ourselves of His many benefits (Gimmel) in our lives. And as we do this we will discover the secret to abundant living as we enter 5783.
God works with times and seasons.
