This is a unique message I am bringing to you today because it is not based on a specific story, but it is about God's nature in the middle of warfare seasons and what He wants to do in the Earth.
Let’s begin with what God wants to do in people’s lives right now and look at Revelations 20:1-16 and 21:1-8. What is the meaning of the books? Angels record everyone of our thoughts and spoken words in our books in which our God ordained destinies, the destinies that God has spoken over each one of us are written. There is an accountability for every word we speak or think in any given situation, because at our death, we will be confronted with those records and asked whether we repented and accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.
There is a path to getting saved, and it is not through our own strength, Philippians 4:19 says that God supplies for all of our needs, which means that he will put supplies, suppliers, people, mentors, friends, spouses who will lead us to Him directly or indirectly. The bottom line is John 15:8 , that we would give Him all of the Glory and that we would carry new fruits, new Glory . He is not a God of small means , since He is the King above all kings and leads all of the nations, always. Let’s look at what the psalmists say in psalms 20/6-9, 23 and 24.
There is a process to experiencing a public display of God's power : we worship him and we call HIs name, the name of Jesus. What’s in His name then? What’s the power behind it? Let’s check out the names of God in the Bible. Going back to Philippians 4:19 and John15:8, these are manifestations of Jehovah Jireh: Meaning "The Lord Will Provide," it reflects God's provision for His people (Genesis 22:14) biblefactspress.com.
SInce He is Jehovah Jireh, this leads Him to show up as Jehovah Rapha: Meaning "The Lord Who Heals," it signifies God's ability to heal both physically and spiritually (Exodus 15:26)
As well as Jehovah Shalom: Meaning "The Lord is Peace," it emphasizes God's role as the source of peace (Judges 6:24)
Because when we lift HIs name, He is Jehovah Nissi: Meaning "The Lord Our Banner," it represents God's protection and victory in battle (Exodus 17:15)
But, at all times He is El Roi: Meaning "The God Who Sees," it reflects God's awareness and care for His people (Genesis 16:13)
And He wants us set apart for Him, leading sanctified lives of prayer and worship , not out of our strength, but through Him as Jehovah Mekoddishkem: Meaning "The Lord Who Sanctifies," it indicates God's role in setting His people apart for His purposes (Leviticus 20:8) biblefactspress.com.
These names not only reveal God's character but also provide insight into His relationship with humanity, showcasing His attributes such as love, power, healing, and provision. Understanding these names can deepen one's faith and relationship with God. For a more comprehensive list and deeper exploration of each name, you can refer to the sources provided
I am going to challenge you today: are you expecting
El Shaddai: Translated as "God Almighty," this name highlights God's ultimate power and sufficiency (Genesis 17:1) to show up and display HIs might today? Are you expecting Jesus to come in all of His power, all of His might to come and turn your situation around today? Raise your faith to a higher level: if my faith is on you being rid of a health issue once and for all and you believe only in getting through a medical procedure, your faith needs to rise and meet with mine because where 2 or 3 pray as one, there Jesus is, and Jesus is the healer of all healers, the doctor above all doctors, the banker of all bankers, the CEO over all business people, and more.
Let’s pray.
