For when two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them.
(Matthew 18: 20)
Who is Lord?
What's in a Name?
Does it matter what we call Him?
Following the examples of the Bereans, we are on a journey of discovery. Most of us were brought up to say,
Father
Son
Holy Spirit
God Jesus
However, there are literally thousands of people called Jesus and more often than not, "Jesus Christ" is used as an expletive.
As His Name is HOLY, we are continuing to explore the depths of meanings attached to His Name or His Names. There is no "J" in Hebrew and we have Anglicised so many Biblical words that their awesome significance in the original tongue has become diluted or made common. The Father is not just any old "god" and His Son is not any old "Jesus" - His NAME is the Name above all names. In the UK we have titles people calling themselves "Lords" but He is above all these "Lords" - in exploring the original meanings of the Hebrew Names He is addressed as in Holy Scripture, we learn more of His holiness and His divine nature.
The original Names of the Holy Spirit reveal much about His nature and the living breath of Ruach Haqodesh. With so many false and deceiving winds blowing around masquerading as the true Ruach Haqodesh, we need to mediate on these aspects of the Word more than ever before to ensure we really know Him, His nature and his Divine character traits.
Below are some of the Sacred Names of the Lord which begin to throw light on His greatness, His authority, His infinite power and His beauty.
