Truly! Truly!

Shalom! Anytime we see a Word from Scriptured doubled, YHVH is essentially saying "Listen up! This is very important - actually it is doubly important and it concerns YOU!!!"
For example, look at these quotes from the Torah and the Tanach:

Gen 22:11 And the Messenger of YAHWEH called to him from the heavens and said, Abraham! Abraham! And he said, I am here.
(Abraham was so in tune with YHVH, he probably heard his name the first time, yet YHVH felt it necessary to say his name twice for double emphasis!!! And the call came to him from the heavens!!! Is YHVH calling you from the heavens today??? Are you rooted and established in HIM to hear and listen???)

Gen 46:2 And Elohim said to Israel in visions of the night, and He spoke, Jacob! Jacob! And he answered, I am here.

(Here Elohim, the Creator of everthing in heaven, earth and under the earth, including you and me is speaking to Jacob in a night vision!!! Is HE speaking to you and I in the same way??? Can you hear HIM call your name out once, let alone twice???)

1Sa 3:10 And YAHWEH came and stood, and called as the other times, Samuel, Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for Your servant hears.

(Now YHVH comes near to us, stands near to us, and calls us!!! Are we listening? Are we sensing HIM? Are we prepared to hear what He has to say???)

And these from the New Covenant, the Brit Chadasha:

Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour, Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani; that is, My El, My El, why did You honor Me to be here?

(do you hear the cry of YHVH, letting you know in your darkest hour or trial that He has not forsaken you??? He has not forgotten you!!! He has not anandoned you!!!)

Act 9:4 And falling on the ground he heard a voice (Yeshua)saying to him, Saul, Saul! Why do you persecute Me?

(One should never hope to hear these Words from G-d Almighty!!!)

In the following quotes from the gospel of Yochanan (John) Yeshua is telling us that invariably, most assuredly, and truly, truly - these are promises with a double blessing in them!

He is saying, not just once, but twice, that these promises are OURS and we should pay attention to the fact that He isn't just saying them once...but TWICE!!!

Joh 1:51 And He says to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, From now on you will see Heaven opened, and "The cherubs of Elohim ascending and descending" on the Son of Man. (Gen. 28:12)

(how awesome is that to be promised that we can see Heaven opening up!!!)

Joh 3:3 Yeshua answered and said to him, Truly, truly I say to you, that if a man is not born again, he is not able to see the Kingdom of YAHWEH.

(we must be born again to see the kingdom of YHVH!)

Joh 3:5 Yeshua answered, Truly, truly I say to you, that if a man is not born from water and spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of YAHWEH.

(we must be born of water and spirit to enter into the kingdom of YHVH!!!)

Joh 3:11 Truly, truly, I say to you, That which we know, we speak; and that which we have seen, we testify. And you do not receive our testimony.

(are we knowing then speaking??? are we seeing then testifying???)

Joh 5:19 Then Yeshua answered and said to them, Truly, truly I say to you that the Son is not able to do anything by his desire, but what he sees that the Father does. For these things that the Father does, the Son also likewise does.

(are we doing ONLY the things we see our Heavenly Father doing? or are we still demanding our own way??? Remember, Lucifer says i will, i will; Yeshua says Thy will Thy will, and YHVH says MY Will, My Will!)

Joh 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, The one who hears My Word, and believes the One who has sent Me, has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has removed himself out of death into life.

(if we are hearing and believing, we have everlasting life AND we do not come into judgment AND we are removed from death!!! the whole of gospel in a nutshell, this verse...)

Joh 6:32 Then Yeshua said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread out of Heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of Heaven.

(are we feasting on the daily manna, the TRUE Bread, Yeshua Hamashiach who comes down to us out of Heavn off the pages of HIS WORD???)

Joh 6:47 Truly, truly, I say to you, The one believing into Me has everlasting life.

(ah...the one who believes and believes and believes, not doubting, has everlasting life! can i get a witness?)

Joh 6:53 Then Yeshua said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you do not have life in yourselves.

(think on this...selah...)

Joh 8:51 Truly, truly, I say to you, If anyone watches over My Word, he will not see death forever, never!

(are we studying to show ourselves approved by G-d??? Are we daily seeking HIM??? if so, this promise says we will not see death ever, never!!!)

Joh 12:24 Truly, truly I say to you that a grain of wheat, except it should fall and die on the ground, remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces much fruit.

(how do we produce fruit? we fall to the gound and die...I am crucified with Messiah, therefore, it is no longer I who live, but Messiah Yeshua lives in me!!!)

Joh 13:20 Truly, truly, I say to you, The one who receives whomever I may send receives Me; and the one who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

(can we receive??? are we teachable??? or de we know it all???)

Joh 16:23 And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you shall ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

(This of course, is a favorite that everyone can quote...but Yeshua IS saying to us, truly, truly...)

amein vaya amein!
