We are walking in today:  Know The Names Of God! 

This morning we welcome back Minister Telia to teach on the name of God.   Thank You for her time and study of Your word.  Use her in a mighty way this morning!  Amen, amen! 

Today I will begin with God’s word from Proverbs 2:1-10 “My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine (your ) ear unto wisdom, and apply thine (your) heart to understanding; Yea, if thou cry after knowledge, and lift up thy (your) voice for understanding. If thou seekest her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures; Then shall thou (you) understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord give wisdom; out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He lay up sound wisdom for the righteous; he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly, and He keeps the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shall thou (you) understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. When wisdom enters into thine (your) heart and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul.”
The Names I will begin with is Adon or Adonai – This is a title of authority and honor, translated “Lord” and applied to a superior, such as a king or master as well as to God. It ascribes the highest honor and worship to God and became a substitute for Yahweh when Israel refused to pronounce the holy name. A prominent characteristic of Scripture is its use of figurative language. Many of the names for God are symbolic, illustrative, or figurative. Overview of last week’s name of El-Shaddai (God of the Mountains or the Almighty God). Today it is Adonai – God has so many names El-Shaddai and Adonai in my study Yahweh Israel refused to pronounce the holy name. Yahweh is God’s holy name. The covenant name for God was Yahweh. Israel’s faith was a new response to God based on His disclosure. This name was so unique and powerful that God formed a covenant with His people based on His self-revelation.
Adonai is the Lord of all authority. Adonai also means Rock, Refuge, Fortress, Shield, Sun, Refiner, King, Judge, Shepherd, Abba and Father. The characteristics of God is He lives forever and His kingdom is everlasting. He gives history meaning and is drawing it to a conclusion. Let’s go back to God as being a Rock God is strong and permanent, Refuge id God is a haven from the enemy, Fortress God is a defense against the foe, Shield God is protection, Sun God is the source of light and life, Refiner God is purifier, King Yahweh’s covenant people were to obey Him as a Sovereign. The title is the key to understanding the kingdom of God. Judge Yahweh is the Judge who arbitrates disputes, sets things right, and intervenes for Israel in its military campaigns. Shepherd this is a nurturing term to the describe the care God gives to his people us…..there are so many descriptions of God such as.
El-Elyon means “The Most High God or the Exalted One” is name by which Melchizadek blessed Abraham. In Genesis 14:19-20 - But in verse 18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine; and he was the priest of the Most High God. Verses 19-20 reads “And he bless him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth. And blessed be the Most High God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.”
El-Olam means “God of Eternity or God the Everlasting One shows God’s Sovereignty extends through the passing of time and beyond our ability to see or understand. Genesis 21: “And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.”Isaiah 26:4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. The rock of ages. “Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
El-Berith means “God of the Covenant which means God keeps his promises. God’s promise covers God’s future plan for all the nations of the earth and focuses on the gifts and deeds God will bestow on a few to benefit the many. The gifts include 1) He would be their God 2) they would be His people, and 3) He would dwell in their midst. Genesis chapter 1 through chapter 11 “the promise of God is represented by the successive “blessings announced both in the creative order and on the human family even in spite of their sin. The fathers of Israel (Abraham, Issac and Jacob) received a triple promise. God seals his promises he proved it through Abraham, Issac and Jacob.
El-Roi means “God Who Sees Me or God of Vision” God sees the needs of His people and responds. Genesis 16:13 “And she call the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? Psalm 139:1-12
