Very early on in my walk with the Holy Spirit, I discovered these seven compound names for JEHOVAH. I began to pray them every day, desiring to know him in their depth. I was doing pretty well until I came to Jehovah-Nissi. Not having a clue what that meant…Jehovah my Banner. I yelled at GOD, “How can I pray that, I don’t even know what that means…what does it mean?” So began the excellent adventure that continues to this day. I don’t have room to tell you how he taught me about that name. I will just say, don’t ask the Heavenly Father ANYTHING UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT THE ANSWER. I will add that I went on to have a Banner Ministry for several years.
PSALM 23:1-6
1 The LORD is my shepherd; (1 Jehovah Rohi – the Lord our shepherd) I shall not want. (2 Jehovah Jireh – the Lord our provider)
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. (3 Jehovah Shalom – the Lord our peace)
3 He restoreth my soul: (4 Jehovah Rapha – the Lord our healer) he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. (5 Jehovah Tsidkenu – the Lord our righteousness)
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. (6 Jehovah Shammah – the Lord is present)
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: (7 Jehovah Nissi – the Lord our banner) thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
In recent times we have all come to discover that we cannot trust much of what we have been taught. CORRUPTION and DECEPTION permeate EVERYTHING. That is why our Heavenly Father has hidden many things.
Throughout history, we have learned about GOD through many names/titles in the bible. HIS TRUE NAME, has come into question. There are many groups and individuals professing to have found the TRUE pronunciation of His Name. I have to tell you that I don’t believe that ANYONE has PROOF. They all have great theories, and have done significant study. However, the TRUTH of His Name, just as everything else has been covered up, erased, perverted, masked, hidden from us. I have looked at all the work on this. and I have come to a conclusion about which version I think is most right. (I will let you know at the end of this post which one that is). But, I am not totally certain.
I believe that our Father will reveal that in HIS time. Meanwhile, I just call HIM ABBA DADDY. I have the right to do so, because of the price paid by HIS SON. I also address him as Heavenly Father, which is the way that Jesus/Yeshua taught us to do when he told us how to pray. He and I are on very good terms and He knows exactly who I am addressing and is very happy to fellowship with me. I pray in the name of Yeshua or Jesus and refer to him as God’s precious/only begotten Son.
In my posts you will see me refer to him as Heavenly Father, or Creator of ALL things, and you will see me refer to him as GOD. Because I am writing to a very ecclectic and general audience, all at different places in their lives. Everyone knows what a GOD is… HE is my GOD… my ONLY GOD. He is the ONE TRUE and LIVING GOD…which I also reference him as in my posts.
I am not worried whether I KNOW his “true NAME” or not… I don’t think that is a problem. I know it is not something we should allow to come between us as believers or between us and the lost whom we are trying to reach. So, get over it Sacred Namers. Relax. God is in CONTROL.
Our Heavenly Father cares about RELATIONSHIP. Do you KNOW HIM? When you truly KNOW someone, and LOVE them… they are not worried about how you address them. They and you care ONLY about spending time together. About communicating. About KNOWING each other on an ever deepening level.
In fact, it has been my experience, that when you are in a loving relationship, you often don’t address the person you love by their name. You call them honey, baby, darlin, sweetheart, dear… or any number of other terms of endearment. I would go so far as to say, if you address them by their name, they may assume you are being extremely serious, or perturbed, maybe even angry, unless you are in public or in a particularly official or formal environment.
In the following scripture, it appears that God is not at all surprised that we don’t know His name. This scripture is almost teasingly stating that we most likely DO NOT.
Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell? Proverbs 30:4
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John 6:44-45
Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. God speaks directly to OUR spirit. And our spirit speaks directly with GOD. Most of the time our natural mind does not even understand it. But by the SPIRIT God KNOWS his own and by the SPIRIT testifies to us that we are HIS. There is not doubt who is praying, or to whom they are praying.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. John 4:24
Do you seriously believe that if you spell HIS name wrong or pronounce it incorrectly He will turn His back on your prayer?? Seriously?? God looks on the HEART. AND, God is the ONLY one who KNOWS your heart.
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. Jeremiah 17:9
7 You cannot fool God- Galatians 6:7

In this Support Team Study, The Great ‘I AM’ Revealed, Nehemia Gordon leaves Hebrew Masoretic manuscripts behind and goes back to the basics of the Hebrew language. In this study Nehemia explains how the ‘I AM’ passage in Exodus 3:14 teaches us the meaning of God’s holy Name. We will see how the great ‘I AM’ was understood by ancient Jews and how this is the key to deciphering both the meaning of YHVH and its pronunciation. Lynell wrote: “Fascinating study on The Great ‘I am’ Revealed. Nehemia Gordon presents empirical evidence rather than theory concerning the name of God. He dispels myths and Facebook made-up Hebrew to reveal the name of Yehovah. Considerable evidence presented with logical thought make this a lecture not to be missed.” Not a member of the Support Team yet? You are invited to watch this special preview of this study.
