WFJ: What’s in a Name?

1 March 2010 One Comment

What is in a name change?  In this new realm of life that is before us, will we want a name change?  What can you know about a person by their name?   Lets continue on with the 4th meditation by MEDITATE ON THE LORD HIMSELF and allow Jonathan Welton to open our minds to thoughts that perhaps we have not entertained before. 

“When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on you in the night watches” Psm. 63:6.  By keeping our mind focused on the Lord, we encourage our abiding relationship with Him. 
There are many ways to meditate on the Lord.  One of the most  practical that I have found is focusing on the names of the Lord.  Names equal nature, so by revealing His name to us, God has revealed His nature to us.  If  He says that His name is, “Jehovah Rapha, The Lord Our Healer,” then He is sharing with us that His nature is that of a healer. Here are some of the names of the Lord with which to begin our study:

El-Shaddai–The Almighty God (Gen. 17: 1-2)
Jehovah-Jireh–The Lord Our Provider (Gen. 22:14)
Jehovah-Rapha–The Lord Our Healer (Exod.15:22-16)
Jehovah-Tsidqenu–The Lord Our Righteousness (Jer. 33:16)
Jehovah-Nissi–The Lord is My Banner (Exod. 17:15)
Jehovah-Shalom–The Lord Our Peace (Judg. 6:24)
Jehovan-Shammah–The Lord Is There (Ezek. 48:35)
Jehovah-Sabaoth–The Lord of Hosts (Rom. 9:29)

I regularly go on walks around my neighborhood. As I walk, I pray and talk with God. I tell Him everything I am thinking and what is on my heart. At these times the Lord usually reminds me of one of His names.  Perhaps I tell Him that I am upset and confused because someone I prayed for didn’t get healed. He settles my heart and reminds me that He is Jehovah Rapha, The Lord My Healer. Sometimes while praying I share how weak I am in a certain area, and then I declare, “Lord You are my …(righteousness, healer, provider, etc.–fill in the blank). Meditating on God Himself has been a large part of my prayer life. ”

Put into practice what Jonathan is sharing with you and be prepared for a surprise and the manner in which He will reveal Himself to you.   He is more eager to talk with you than you are with Him.  I promise you it will be an experience that you will not want to be without .  “School of the Seers” by Jonathan Welton is a book  you will want to read about the miracles and many experiences that await you in your walk with Jesus.
