While Pastor Steve and Connie were away this Sunday, Pastor Michael Perea filled in and gave an excellent message. He covered the names of God in a way that gave fresh insight. Here's a brief sample, but I urge you to listen online, download the message to your MP3 player, or podcast FREE to get the full impact.
There are seven redemptive names of God which have been replaced with five others. Curious? Let's take a look:
1) Jehovah Shammah - The Lord is present.
2) Jehovah Shalom - The Lord our peace.
Phil. 4:6-7 - To get to verse 7, you have to DO verse 6. To accomplish this, your Word level must be high.
3) Jehovah Ra-ah - The Lord is my shepherd.
Psalm 23 speaks of the valley of the shadow of death. Have you ever shadow boxed? Have you been knocked out by the shadow? This psalm is not talking about the sweet by and by. You don't have any enemies in heaven. This is all about our present lives.
4) Jehovah Jireh - The Lord will provide.
Genesis 22:8 - Abraham tells Isaac the Lord will provide for Himself a lamb. His obedience set the stage for God to legally send His Son into the world to provide a lamb for us.
5) Jehovah Nissi - The Lord my victory. Judges 4:15-21
6) Jehovah Tsidkenu - The Lord my righteousness. Psalms 85:15, Prov. 2:1-9
7) Jehovah Rapha - The Lord my healer. This is probably the most called upon name of God. Exodus 15:26
What are the five names that have replaced these names:
1) I
2) Me
3) My
4) Mine
5) Myself - I can do it myself. It's the most dangerous word in the language.
