The Covenant Name of God

  Exodus 3:14-15 – And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’” In praying about this new year, the Lord began to speak to me about three things, covenant, commitment, and commissioning. In the Word of God, the number 26 is the numerical equivalent of the name of God in Hebrew. It is the sum of the Hebrew letters, YHWH. Yod = 10, Hei =5, Vav = 6, Hei = 5 = 26. This is the personal name of God. In English we add vowels and get the names, Yahweh or Jehovah. When God reveals His name to Moses in Exodus 3:14–15, He identifies Himself as “I AM WHO I AM.” The phrase “I AM WHO I AM” in the Hebrew text carries multiple shades of meaning, including “I will...

Entering into 2026 - Part One

  Hebrews 8:6 – “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.” At the beginning of each year, we spend time in prayer asking the Lord, “What are you saying to us about this coming year.” Why is this important? Because we need prophetic direction from the Lord.  In Jeremiah 33:3   the Scriptures declare , “ Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”    The word mighty is also translated from Hebrew as secret things. This verse in the  Amplified Bible  reads, “fenced in and hidden, which you do not know.” God shared His secrets when we ask in prayer. We prophetically declared 2025 a year of Abundant Grace. John 1:15-16 from the English Standard Version says, “(John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he...

The Pit

  A man fell in a pit and couldn’t get out. A SUBJECTIVE person came along and said: “I FEEL for you down there!” An OBJECTIVE person came along and said: “It’s logical that someone would fall down there.” A CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST came by and said: “You only think you are in the pit.” A PHARISEE said: “Only bad people would fall in a pit.” A MATHEMATICIAN calculated HOW he fell in the pit. A NEWS REPORTER wanted the exclusive story on his pit. A FUNDAMENTALIST said: “You deserve your pit.” CONFUCIOUS said: “If you would have listened to me, you would not have fallen into that pit.” BUDDHA said: “Your pit is only a state of mind.” A REALIST said: “That’s a pit.” A SCIENTIST calculated the pressure necessary (lbs./sq.in.) to get him out of the pit. A GEOLOGIST told him to appreciate the rock strata in the pit. AN EVOLUTIONIST said: “You are a rejected mutant destined to be removed from the evolutionary cycle.” In other words, “He is going to die in the pit, so he can’t produce any pit-f...

A New Witness

  Acts 1:8  – “ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”              Each of us are called by God to be witnesses of His grace and goodness. We can share what God has done in our lives. We can share how God saved us. We can tell others about our own experiences with His love and grace.              John 3:16-17 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.“ “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” If we believe these scriptures are true and it is God’s will to save those who are lost, then we have a responsibility to share our faith with those who ...

Who is the Baby?

Christmas is a holiday that celebrates the arrival of a baby! Not just any baby, but a special baby born in a small Middle-eastern village some two thousand years ago. On that first Christmas night shepherds came to see this special baby lying in a manger. The Magi from the East followed a bright star to the place of this child’s birth.       Who was this newborn infant? Who was this baby born to a young unmarried teenage girl on a cold Judean winter’s night? This baby was not just another baby born on this rebellious planet! This baby was more than what was discernible with the human eyes. The Word of God gives us insight into who this baby was:        Luke 2:8-14 - “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel of the Lord said unto them, fear not: for, b...

Christmas Time is Coming

  Luke 2:10 – 16 - Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.    For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.               There is an old Christmas song that I ha...

The Colors of Christmas - 2025

  Isaiah 1:18  – “’Come now, and let us reason together,’ Says the Lord, ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.’”              Christmas in our society has become a very secular holiday.    If we are not careful we can allow the busyness of the season to distract us from the true meaning of Christmas.    We must make our devotional life a priority during this festive season.    Matthew 6:33 instructs, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”             What are the colors of Christmas? Perhaps the most prominent colors of Christmas are red and green.   We could add blue, gold, and purple.   An interesting study in the Scriptures is the study of colors and what they rep...
