Things I Write On The Blank "Notes" Pages In My Bible - The Names of God

After participating in the Bible study, "Lord, Teach Me To Pray" by Kay Arthur, I realized the significance of the names of God. Now, I keep them handy in the back of my Bible. Here is the list I have accumulated so far...

Elohim - "Creator" - Genesis 1:1 (Elohim is Yahweh - Deuteronomy 6:4)
Yahweh - "Lord" - Genesis 2:4
El Elyon - "The Most High" (Sovereign) - Genesis 14:18-20 (Isaiah 14:14)
El Roi - "the One who sees me" - Genesis 16:13
El Shaddai - "God Almighty" - Genesis 17:12?
Jehovah-Jireh - "The Lord will Provide" - Genesis 22:14
I am - Yahweh/Lord - Exodus 3:14
Jehovah-Rophe - "The Lord Who Heals" - Exodus 15:26
Jehovah-Nissi - "The Lord is my Banner" - Exodus 17:15
Jehovah-Shalom - "The Lord is Peace" - Judges 6:24
Jehovah-Shabaoth - "The Lord of Hosts" - 1 Samuel 1:3-11
Jehovah-Roi - "The Lord is my Shepherd" - Psalm 23:1
El Olam - "everlasting God" - Isaiah 40:28
Jehovah-Tsidkenu - "The Lord our Righteousness" - Jeremiah 23:6
Jehovah-Shammah - "The Lord is There" (with us) - Ezekiel 48:35

Adonai = Lord
Jehovah = YHWH + Adonai

Sometimes it helps to use the names of God accordingly to be in the right frame of mind during times of prayer, petition and thanksgiving. I pray that my list helps you in your own prayer times.

The Book of Revelation by Chuck Missler – Hour 21 – Revelation 17-18

Two chapters on Mystery, Babylon.   She is the great whore.   She rides the beast.   She is the mother of harlots.   She is clothed in purple, scarlet and gold.   She reigns over kings of the earth.   She is caressed by the world.   She is sustained by the dragon (Satan). Chuck reminds us that the church of Thyatira is promised to go through the tribulation.   This is how.   If you recall the earlier lessons, the church of Thyatira was called the Medieval Church. Mystery, Babylon isn’t the beast, but she rides the beast.   There are ten clues in chapter 17 regarding her identity:   she’s a prostitute; she has universal influence all over the world; she is seated upon the beast; she is expensively adorned and outwardly attractive; she’s a utensil in God’s service but a counterfeit; she’s a mystery linked with the Babylon of Nimrod; she’s the mother of prostitutes who has spiritual offspring; she’s a persecutor of Christians...

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...

Armor of God – Week One – Sizing Up The Enemy

Welcome to Boot Camp!   For the next seven weeks we will be training with our weapons (God’s Word and prayer) in preparation for the battle of our lives and the lives of others!   And we will be learning how to equip ourselves with the Armor of God. Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God Bible study is a MUST-DO for EVERY BIBLE STUDENT!   I don’t mean to shout, but I can’t emphasize this enough!!!   We are at war boys and girls.   And our enemy wants to keep us in the dark about that fact.   If he can convince us that he does not exist or that our God is not good or that we are not loved and treasured by the King and Creator of the Universe, he wins the battle.   But can I share something with you?   OUR ENEMY HAS ALREADY LOST THE WAR!!!!!   His time is short and he is grasping at anything we leave dangling in an attempt to drag us down.   So let’s not leave too much dangling. My church begins the Armor of God study tonight (9/9/15). ...
