Foundation Scriptures: Psalms 72:17; Psalms 148:13
His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. Psalms 72:17 NKJV
Let them praise and exalt the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted and supreme! His glory and majesty are above earth and heaven! Psalms 148:13 AMP
A. A name is the thing by which a person or thing is known. God is called by many different names in the Bible, each of which reveals aspects of His nature and character.
1. ELOHIM. ELOHIM is the first word used in scripture used to designate "God". "In the beginning ELOHIM created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
- EL: meaning "God, god, mighty one, strength" (Deuteronomy 32:4). EL is usually used in compound with other terms as EL Elyon, EL Shaddai, etc.
- EL ELYON: "The Most High" (Deuteronomy 32:8).
- Genesis 14:18-20 KJV - And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God [EL Elyon]. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God [EL Elyon], possessor of heaven and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God [EL Elyon], which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.
- EL OLAM: "The Everlasting God." Not only is He everlasting in duration, but He is everlastingly faithful.
- Isaiah 26:4 KJV - Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.
- EL SHADDAI: "The Almighty God."
- Genesis 17:1 KJV - And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
- Some scholars say the word "shaddai" is derived from the word "shad" meaning breast, giving rise to the names "The Satisfier" and "All Sufficient One". Some say "shad" means "mountain". Either way, He is still the God who is more than enough!
2. ADONAI: Lord, lord, master, owner, ruler.
- Used in reference to men and God - it can refer to a person who is a master, owner or ruler, or it can refer to the Lord God, because He is the Master and Owner of everything.
- When we call Jesus "Lord" we are recognizing Him as our Master – if we call Jesus Lord and do not obey Him then our language and conduct are contradicting each other.
3. JEHOVAH: the personal NAME of God in His relationship as REDEEMER.
- Exodus 3:13-15 KJV - And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
- Exodus 6:2-3 KJV - And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord: 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
- Jehovah is the name for the Lord God occurring most frequently in the Old Testament (5,321 times). Jehovah is the covenant name of God expressing personal relationship and when His name is compounded with other terms, together they identify and make specific those relationships.
4. The Compound Names of JEHOVAH:
- JEHOVAH ELOHIM: SUPREME GOD
- Genesis 2:4 KJV - These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God [Jehovah Elohim] made the earth and the heavens.
- This name identifies Jehovah with the creation of all things. The Triune God is also the Redeemer of His people.
- JEHOVAH JIREH: The LORD will PROVIDE
- Genesis 22:14 AMP - So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide [Jehovah Jireh]. And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be provided.
- God provided a substitute for Isaac and He provided, for us, once and for all a substitute – the Lamb of God. Romans 8:32 AMP - He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?
- JEHOVAH RAPHA: The LORD my HEALER
- Exodus 15:26 NASU - And He said, "If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the Lord, am your HEALER."
- He is speaking here about physical diseases and physical diseases. This promise is conditional upon obedience – yours and mine.
- JEHOVAH NISSI: The LORD is my BANNER
- Exodus 17:15 AMP - And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord is my Banner. Moses built this altar to commemorate the victory God gave Israel over Amalek. Aaron and Hur had held up Moses' hands until sunset, and while they did so Israel prevailed.
- Song of Solomon 2:4 KJV - He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
- JEHOVAH SHALOM: The LORD is my PEACE
- Judges 6:24 KJV - Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it Jehovah-shalom. When God called Gideon to lead Israel to victory over the Midianites, the Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon. When he realized that it was the Angel of the Lord, he thought he would die. The Angel assured him that he would not and spoke peace to him. Jehovah assured him that he would live and lead Israel to triumph. Jehovah was peace to him even before the battles began.
- Shalom (peace) means more than freedom from conflict; it means prosperity, health, well-being, and faith in the face of conflict.
- John 14:27 KJV - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
- JEHOVAH RAAH: The LORD is my SHEPHERD
- Psalms 23:1 KJV - The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
- John 10:11 AMP - I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lays down His [own] life for the sheep.
- 1 Peter 5:4 NKJV - And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
- JEHOVAH TSIDKENU: The LORD our RIGHTEOUSNESS
- Jeremiah 23:6 AMP - In His days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is His name by which He shall be called: The Lord Our Righteousness.
- 1 Corinthians 1:30 KJV - But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.
- JEHOVAH SABAOTH/TSEBAOTH: The LORD of HOSTS
- Psalms 24:10 AMP - Who is [He then] this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.
- 2 Kings 6:13-17 Elisha's servant's eyes are opened to see the hosts of God – horses and chariots of fire - surrounding the city.
- JEHOVAH SHAMMAH: The LORD is THERE
- Ezekiel 48:35 AMP - The distance around the city shall be 18,000 [4 x 4,500] measures; and the name of the city from that day and ever after shall be, The Lord Is There. God – the great God - is ever present with His people!
- Hebrews 13:5b-6 NKJV - For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 6 So we may boldly say: "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"

Foundation Scriptures: John 14:13-26; John 15:26; John 16:7-15
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. 15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. 19 "A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" 23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me. 25 "These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. John 14:13-26 NKJV
"But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. John 15:26 NKJV
Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. 12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. John 16:7-15 NKJV

Foundation Scripture: Ephesians 5:18
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 KJV
1. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, He brings us into a greater revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ
-
The Holy Spirit is the way to the Father.
-
He is the way from the Father to us.
-
He is like an Artist—He paints Jesus upon the canvas of life and makes Jesus real to us.
-
The more we are filled the more we recognize and depend upon Jesus.
-
The Holy Spirit brings us into a life of personal union with and constant dependence upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
N.B. To be filled with the Spirit is to be filled
with Jesus.
2. The Holy Spirit cuts us off from the life of self and sin and brings us into a life of holiness, righteousness, and obedience.
-
Exodus 40:34-35 AMP - Then the cloud [the Shekinah, God's visible presence] covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle! 35 And Moses was not able to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud remained upon it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
-
This is the picture of a Spirit-filled man—full of God's glory—leaving no room for the flesh.
3. The Holy Spirit brings us into joy and fullness of joy.
-
John 15:11 KJV - These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
-
John 17:13 KJV - And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
-
After Jesus had spoken of the promise of the Spirit and that we should abide in the Vine (in Him), He told of the joy that would follow. He said, "My joy will remain in you and your joy will be full."
-
The fullness of joy wipes out the pain, doubt, fear and sorrow.
4. There will be a release of the Fruit of the Spirit from the heart of the Spirit-filled man and woman.
-
Galatians 5:1-26 NKJV - Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. 7 You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is. 11 And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased. 12 I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off! 13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
-
The fruit of the Spirit springs spontaneously from the fullness of the Holy Spirit, in your spirit, working in and affecting spirit, soul, and body.
-
When your life is full of God your life will be full of godliness.
5. When you are full of the Holy Spirit, there will be an outflow of the Spirit of God—a tangible presence—affecting every area of your life.
-
Speech – Ephesians 5:18b-19 KJV – Be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.
-
Actions – you are made a blessing unto many.
-
Circumstances – everything God's presence touches is set in order. July 22 By Dr. Rodney Howrad Brown
Foundation Scriptures: John 14:16-19; John 14:26; John 15:26; John 16:7-14
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. Indwelling of the Father and the Son 19 "A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. John 14:16-19 NKJV
