What's in a name?

Names of God


I have been giving some thought on the names of God found in the Bible.  

Names of God 

So today when I was driving, relaxed and meditating in the Lord, the Holy Spirit spoke to me His Great Name "I AM".
This Name of God was reveal to God servant Moses, at a time when Moses had been assigned by God to return to the land of Egypt and tell Pharaoh to Let God's people go. They were to be set free from their life of bondage and slavery. To live as free men and women, restored, and blessed by God, living in a land promised by God so that they may worship the one and only true God. Creator of all heaven and earth.
When we read Exodus 3:14 "God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
"I AM" what a name!
 Throughout the bible God reveals himself to humanity through the use of his names. So when we think about that great to name "I AM" we should ask ourselves the question, I am what? The next thing God said to Moses was "THAT I AM". What is the "that" that God is? As we turn to the Bible God shows us in a universal language where all can understand in a basic way the identity, character, and nature of who our creator is.
God responds to our needs by being to us the expression of that need as long as that need does not violate his holiness. Philippians 4:19 "But God shall supply all our needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus".
Let us look at this a little closer. I AM.......(fill in the blank), if you are sick that is your need, and God has promised to heal you to be your healer so what is his name "I AM Healer. Psalms 107:19-21."Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble and he saved then out of their distresses. 20. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 21. Oh that men would praise The Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" Do you get the connection. God is "THAT" which we need! I would encourage you to take some time and explore this revelation of truth for yourself. It will change your life and relationship to the living God. Call on God By his name. I AM.
