The Being of God revealed through His Redemptive Names

Elohim

In the book of Genesis the name Elohim is used of the Creator.

El=Strong One

Daniel (God is my judge), Samuel (heard from God), Immanuel (God is with us)

Psalm 19:2: The heavens declare His wonders.

By faith we understand that the worlds were created by God. We were not there when it happened. We need faith to believe the word of God. (Hebrews 11:3)

El Elyon

Genesis 18:18 High and Lofty One

The God of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1) who had no ancestry. Jesus is the new High Priest of the New Testament according to the order of Melchizedek. Jesus was not from the tribe of Levi or from the line of Aaron who ministered in the Old Tabernacle. Jesus is the First Born from the dead and He is the Head of the Church of the Firstborn. All born again believers become part of that heavenly Church (mentioned in Hebrews 12:22) and therefore all believers now become royal priests that can enter into the holy presence of God like the Old High Priest under the Old Covenant could only do once a year. What a new way of living! Jesus opened up a new way into the holiest of all – for all who will follow in His wake! He lifted us up into a new dimension of living and ministry!

Daniel 3:26

It

El Shaddai

The Mighty One

Genesis 17:1

God appeared to Abraham as the Mighty One who could create and maintain what He created

 The Mighty One can break all barriers and help us to overcome Satan, Sin and Self in our lives. There is nothing impossible to Him. All things are possible if we can believe.

El Shaddai mentioned 31 times in Job

El Olam

Genesis 21:33

Ephesians 1:9, 10

The Eternal One who knows all secrets. He reveals mysteries to us. It is an apostolic gift to open up the mysteries of God to the church so that they can understand the ways and the mind of God so that His will can be done on earth as it is in heaven.

David says, when I worship on the harp, the Lord reveals dark secrets to me.

Adonai

Lord

Genesis 15:2

This redemptive name expresses the relationship between God and man. When Abraham prayed for Sodom and Gomorrah he used the name Adonai. He knew who He was speaking to and what he wanted from Him. He wanted Him to remember that they were human beings.

Jahweh

Used 6 000 times in the Bible

The God of the Ten Commandments: JWH no vowels written out of reverend fear for the great God whom they served.

Moriah – the face of Jaweh

Josiah – help from Jaweh

Hallelujah – glorify Jaweh

He has given us a New Commandment: to love God with all our heart, soul and being and to love our neighbour as ourselves. In this all the other Old Testament Commandments are fulfilled! He is a covenant keeping God. There are more than 7 000 Promises of God for believers in the Bible. Every need is covered with a divine promise. He has already provided for you.

Those who participate in sponsoring apostolic missions to other nations have this promise from apostle Paul: My God shall supply all your needs (Philippians 4:10-19).

Jehovah Jireh

Genesis 22:14

God is our Great Provider. The cattle on a thousand hills belong to Him. All the silver and the gold is His. He is our Heavenly Father. He knows what we need. He answers even before we call on Him. He desires that we prosper and be in health even as our souls prosper (3 John 2)

He is the ‘many breasted one’ that can feed all of us at the same time!

Rapha

Exodus 15:26

The Lord God is our Great Physician and our Healer if we walk according to His Word. Keep the word before your eyes, in your heart, in your mouth and it will be health to your bon
