The Answer Is In The Name
by Willie HudsonIt is God's Word that has revealed Himself as our alpha and our omega. "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to
come, the Almighty" (Rev. 1:8). It is through this revelation to John that I also realize that by the seven redemptive names of Jesus Christ, I have a God who is all to me. Everything I could ever need in this
world, is covered by one of His holy names. Various scriptures verify. His wholeness with us. Jehovah-Shammah; the Lord is forever with me. He will not leave nor forsake me (Deu.31: 8).Jehovah-Shalom; the Lord is my
Peace. My heart is neither troubled nor afraid (John 14:27). Jehovah-Ra-ha; the Lord is my Shepard. He gave His life for the sheep. He is the Good Shepard (John 10:11). Jehovah-Jireh; the Lord my Provider. Jesus Christ,
the Lamb of God, was provided as a sacrifice for my sins (Gen. 22:1-14). Jehovah-Nissi; the Lord my Victor. I have received victory (life everlasting) through the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ. As the battle
rages, I raise my hands to God in praise (Ex. 17:11 & 15). Jehovah-Tsidkenu; the Lord is my Righteousness. I have been redeemed to the Father through Christ Jesus who became sin for me (II Corth.5: 21).
Jehovah-Rapha; the Lord my Healer. By his stripes I am healed. Sickness and disease do not belong to me (Isaiah 53: 4-5).
During my prayer time with God, the redemptive names of Jesus Christ are on my heart. As I
pray, I think about whatever it is I need His word regarding, and by the Holy Spirit, the name that brings the answer comes to my heart. For whatever I need Him for at that time, there is always a name upon which I can
call Him. Because His redemptive names cover all, it helps me to feel comfort, victory, provision, righteousness, peace, protection, and healing. |
