AUTHORITY of the BELIEVER Week 4. Principals of Prayer - PRAYING in the NAME of the LORD AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER Week 4. Principals of Prayer - PRAYING IN THE NAME OF THE LORD “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.” Proverbs 18:10 A. The Power of the Name of The Lord 1. The meaning of a Name a. The Hebrew language indicates character, personality, reputation—as in “Jacob” - supplanter, deceiver (mention a person’s name and you think of what he or his family is like). Changed to Israel - Contends with God b. Represents a person, his authority, power, influence, role or occupation in life (Carpenter, Smith, etc.)—“in the name of the Law”—name of Jesus is “far above all rule and authority . .” - title as “Wonderful Counselor”, etc. “SAVE ME, O God, by Your name; judge and vindicate me by Your mighty strength and power.” Psalm 54:1 AMPC “Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.” Ephesians 1:20-21 AMPC c. Represent rights and privileges—as of a family name or use of a credit card—as adopted children of God we take on the family name of God and have all the rights and privileges of being a child of the King. “But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name.” John 1:12 AMPC 2. The Meaning of the Name of the Lord - יְהוָֹה - a. “I am that I am” - Jehovah - YHVH Yhvh: the proper name of the God of Israel יְהוָֹה :Original Word Part of Speech: Proper Name Transliteration: Yhvh Phonetic Spelling: (yeh-ho-vaw') Definition: the proper name of the God of Israel “I am that I am”—the absolute liberty and independence of God, the eternity and continuing presence of God, essence of being—the all-encompassing one who is, will be and will be active at all times, who is what is necessary in all situations “And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the Israelites and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they say to me, What is His name? What shall I say to them? And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you! God said also to Moses, This shall you say to the Israelites: The Lord, the God of your fathers, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you! This is My name forever, and by this name I am to be remembered to all generations.” Exodus 3:13-15 AMPC “Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts (Jehovah Sabbaoth), the God of the ranks of Israel, Whom you have defied.” 1 Samuel 17:45 AMPC The Jews refer to Him as Hashem - The Name ; “Don’t take the name of the Lord thy God in vain” “And you shall say to the Israelites, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. And he who blasphemes the Name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him; the stranger as well as he who was born in the land shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name [of the Lord].” Leviticus 24:15-16 AMPC Elohim: The plural form of EL, meaning “strong one.” It is used of false gods, but when used of the true God, it is a plural of majesty and intimates the trinity. It is especially used of God’s sovereignty, creative work, mighty work for Israel and in relation to His sovereignty. Compounds of El: • El Shaddai:“God Almighty.” The derivation is uncertain. Some think it stresses God’s loving supply and comfort; others His power as the Almighty one standing on a mountain and who corrects and chastens. • El Elyon: “The Most High God.” Stresses God’s strength, sovereignty, and supremacy. • El Olam: “The Everlasting God.” Emphasizes God’s unchangeableness and is connected with His inexhaustibleness. lit. "My Lords") is the plural form of adon ("Lord") along with the first-person singular pronoun ,אֲ דֹנָֹי ) Adonai enclitic. As with Elohim, Adonai's grammatical form is usually explained as a plural of majesty. In the Hebrew Bible, it is nearly always used to refer to God (approximately 450 occurrences). Abba - Father ab), "father") appears in traditional Jewish liturgy and Jewish prayers) אב :Hebrew,אבא) The Aramaic term abba ,Qādash), "holy"); an Aramaic word for father) קדש :Qaddish Aramaic,Hebrew ,קדיש) to God, e.g. in the Kaddish used by Jesus and Paul to address God in a relation of personal intimacy. Jehovah-Jireh - The Lord will provide Yhvh Yireh: Jehovah- jireh יְהוָֹה יִרְ אֶה :Original Word Jehovah will see; i.e., will provide, the name given by Abraham to the scene of his offering up the ram which was caught in the thicket on Mount Moriah. The expression used in Genesis 22:14, "in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen," has been regarded as equivalent to the saying, "Man's extremity is God's opportunity." And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. As it is said to this day, In the mount of Jehovah it shall be provided. Genesis 22:14 “The young lions lack food and suffer hunger, but they who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord [by right of their need and on the authority of His Word], none of them shall lack any beneficial thing.” Psalm 34:10 AMPC Jehovah-nissi - The Lord is my banner Yhvh Nissi: Jehovah-nissi יְהוָֹה נִסִי :Original Word Jehovah-shammah - The Lord is There! Yhvh Shammah: Jehovah-shammah יְהוָֹה שָֹמָֹה :Original Word Jehovah-Tsidqenu - "the LORD is our righteousness," Yhvh Tsidqenu: A symbolic name for Jerusalem and for Messiah. יְהוָֹה צִדְקֵנו :Original Word Jehovah-Shalom - The LORD our peace Yhvh Shalom: Jehovah is peace; Jehovah-Shalom יְהוָֹה שָֹ לום :Original Word Jehovah Sabbaoth: “The Lord of Hosts.” A military figure portraying the Lord as the commander of the armies of heaven (1 Sam. 1:3; 17:45). Jehovah - Maccaddeshcem: “The Lord your Sanctifier.” Portrays the Lord as our means of sanctification or as the one who sets believers apart for His purposes (Ex. 31:13). Jehovah - Ro’i: “The Lord my Shepherd.” Portrays the Lord as the Shepherd who cares for His people as a shepherd cares for the sheep of his pasture (Ps. 23:1). b. Jesus (Heb., Y’shua)—Yahweh saves—salvation has wide variety of meanings to Hebrew—deliverance, preservation, protection, restoration, healing, victory, rescue, wholeness, soundness, security, safety, spacious and broad, well-being, help, justice, blessing, freedom, prosperity In the beginning “IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was present originally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.” John 1:1-4 Genesis “IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 בְר ַ֖ אשִ ית ָ֣ בָֹרָֹ א אֱ ִ֑ ֹלהִ ים א ֵ֥ ת ַ֖ הַשָֹמַ יִם וְא ֵ֥ ת הָֹאָָֹֽרֶץ׃ Baresit bara Elohim et hasamayim wa-et Ha-aretz eth: untranslatable mark of the accusative case. אֵת :Original Word Part of Speech: Untranslatable mark of the accusative; mark of accusative Transliteration: eth Known to ancient Hebrew scholars as “The Word” Revelation: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord God, He Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty (the Ruler of all).” Revelation 1:8 AMPC “Saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. Write promptly what you see (your vision) in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia –to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.” Revelation 1:11 AMPC c. Ru’ach Hakodesh - Holy Spirit 3. The Power of the Name—Defensively “MAY THE Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high [and defend you]; We will [shout in] triumph at your salvation and victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.” Psalm 20:1, 5 AMPC “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the [consistently] righteous man [upright and in right standing with God] runs into it and is safe, high [above evil] and strong.” Proverbs 18:10 AMPC 4. The Power of the Name—Offensively a. Causes knees to bow, forces submission “Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11 AMPC b.

  • 'I AM THAT I AM': Speaking in Time OT: Exodus 3: 13-15. NT: John 8: 52-9
    ‘I AM THAT I AM’: Speaking in Time OT: Exodus 3: 13-15. NT: John 8: 52-9 ‘Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.’ (John 8: 58). Tonight we begin a sermon series in which we ponder what we do not know about the God we worship. This is a very proper contemplation for finite creatures to make, since any God whose attributes and inwardness were fully known would, by definition, be one too small to be more than our own creation, rather than being -as He is - the One who creates. On the other hand the liturgical season of Epiphany is, on the face of it, an unexpected time to start. It is the season which moves into light, the season in which God shows Himself in the person of His Son; when we come closest to knowing what we do not know; where our blindness becomes sight and our deafness understanding. And the readings we have heard are, among other things, theophanies, God-showings – moments when God speaks directly to His people about Himself, when He discloses something of what He is. But these moments of disclosure are mysterious. What, or whom, is being shown, and what sense can we creatures make of it? How far is God prepared to reach towards us in order to establish anything we could understand as a relationship? a conversation? a meeting? Outside time and outside space where is the sense in speech or the place for response? The two readings, which themselves are part of an historical narrative of the acts of God in communion with His creatures, tell us something of the intentions of the God we do not fully know.

  • Religion and the Mystery of Existence
    RELIGION AND THE MYSTERY OF EXISTENCE JOHN COTTINGHAM Heythrop College, University of London & University of Reading Abstract. This paper questions the idea that theism can function as an explanatory hypothesis to account for the nature and origins of the cosmos. Invoking God cannot dissolve the mystery of existence, and the characteristic religious response here is one of awe and humility. I then address David E. Cooper’s challenge of showing how a ‘doctrine of mystery’ can have any discursible content. It is argued that certain aspects of our human experience (of the wonders of nature and art and the demands of morality) afford us glimpses of the divine nature – intimations of the transcendent, which shine through from the ineffable source of our being to the human world we inhabit.1 I. SECULARISM, SCIENCE, AND THE LIMITS OF EXPLANATION Against all expectation, and in defiance of the naturalist orthodoxy that rules over much professional academic philosophy, religion is firmly back on the agenda in our contemporary intellectual culture. Despite the vehemence of today’s militant atheists, indeed partly perhaps as a result of that very vehemence, many thinking people have begun to ask if the relentless secularism of the last few years may not have overreached itself. To be sure, it can be readily conceded to the militant critics that much institutionalised religion has been, and often still is, sectarian, intolerant, 1 This paper takes further some of the themes in a presentation I gave in June 2011 at a one-day workshop at the University of Durham devoted to the work of David Cooper and myself, on the theme ‘Mystery, Humility and Religious Practice’.

Jntroduction “What’s your name?,” Moses asked. No one had thought to ask that question before. It was always assumed. “Tell me who you are. What is your name?" It is the conversation God is inviting us to have with him this week. For all of time God had been called YAHWEH. It was a name that reflected the sovereignty, power, and rule of God. In Exodus 3, Moses asks God for his name, his personal one that he calls himself. No one (that we know of) had ever asked God for his personal name before. Moses asks God, “When they ask, what should I call you?” “I am that I am,” God responds.

God is One Om Shanti Mandiram Columbia MO 2001 The treasure was lost. We have regained it. This publication is not fully satisfactory. There is a tremendous scope for its improvement. Then why to publish it? The alternative was to let it get recycled. There is a popular saying in American academic circles: Publish or Perish. The only justification we have is to preserve the valuable contents for posterity. Yet it is one hundred times better than its original. We have devoted a great deal of our time, money, and energy to improve it. The entire work was recomposed on computer. Figures [pictures] were scanned and inserted. Diacritical marks were provided as far as possible. References to citations were given in certain cases. But when a vessel is already too dirty it is very difficult to clean it even in a dozen attempts. The original was an assemblage of scattered articles written by specialists in their own field. Some were extracted from publications already published. It was issued as a special number of a journal. It needed a competent editor. Even that too was not adequate unless the editor possessed sufficient knowledge of and full competence in all the subject areas covered. One way to make it correct and complete was to prepare a kind of draft and circulate it among all the writers, or among those who could critically examine a particular paper in their respective field.

  • In Search of Fullness 87-09-13
    1 In Search of Fullness – 87-09-13 Om. A-sa-to ma sad gam-ma-ya. Ta-ma-so-ma jyo-tir gam-ma-ya. Mri-tyor ma a-mri-tam ga-ma-ya. Avir avir ma e-dhi. Rudra yat te dak-shi-nam mu-kham. Tena mam pahi nityam. Tena mam pahi nityam. Tena mam pahi nityam. Lead us from the unreal to the Real. Lead us from darkness unto Light. Lead us from death to Immortality. Reveal to us Thy Resplendent Truth and evermore protect us, Oh Lord, by Thy Sweet and Compassionate Face, by Thy Sweet and Compassionate Face, by Thy Sweet and Compassionate Face. The title of my talk this morning is: The Search for Fullness. The experience of “fullness” is very well known to us in many situations of our life. Before going to a long distance journey we have be sure whether our car is filled with gas. When we are hungry, the stomach is empty, we have to fill our stomach with food. But we should be careful not to overfill! Just the other day in our monastery one resident devotee, he had finished the general course and there was a very delicious dessert. But he said, “Oh, I shall not take any dessert. When I am filled, I don’t care for dessert.” And that is a good policy. Now, somebody buys a house, a big house because he’s a rich man, and, the wife has a craziness for things, for furniture, for vases, for lights, for pictures. And she wants the house to be filled with furniture and other things.

  • Commentary on Exodus 3
    Commentary on Exodus 3 Tetragrammaton: Greek for ‘four letters’, that is the sacred Hebrew name for God, the consonants YHWH (Exod. 3: 15); but because it was considered too holy to pronounce, Adonai (‘Lord’) was substituted by readers of the text. When the vowels of Adonai were inserted into YHWH the artificial name Jehovah was produced and established for generations by the AV. English translations (except NJB) adopt the convention LORD for the Hebrew Yahweh. (Elohim is rendered ‘God’.)i Discussion from Patricia Bleicher: Hayah is the Hebrew verb "to be" and here it is in the Causative form, masculine third person singular. Thus Yahweh, often translated as if it were in the Qal form "He Be Who He Be" (or I Am Who I Am), is actually WHO CAUSES TO BE which completely agrees with our received theology of a Creator God. One learns these things from the great Harvard linguist-theologian Brevard Childs, who first taught us we had the verb form wrong. If it were the Qal form, it should read Yihwoh, but it has always been transmitted as Yahweh, and therefore should be Causative. Childs states that we can look at this word linguistically, and come out theologically. Translations: I Am That I Am, I Am Who I Am, I Will Be What I Will Be, I Am He Who Is YHWH EHYEH ASHER EHYEH I (Be) I (Be) Am Who Am Was What Was Will Be Which Will Be Cause to Be That Cause to Be Caused to Be Caused to Be Will Cause to Be Will Cause to Be Rabbinic tradition has said that God chose Hebrew so that God cannot be pinned down.

A rarer form, ʼila, represents the predicate form in Old Akkadian and in Amorite. The word is derived from the Proto-Semitic archaic biliteral ʼ‑l, meaning "god". Specific deities known as ʼEl or ʼIl include the supreme god of the ancient Canaanite religion and the supreme god of East Semitic speakers in Mesopotamia’s Early Dynastic Period. ● Eloah=It is generally thought that Elohim is derived from eloah, the latter being an ) and el (אלוה) expanded form of the Northwest Semitic noun ’il. The related nouns eloah are used as proper names or as generics, in which case they are interchangeable (ֵאל with elohim. The term contains an added heh as third radical to the biconsonantal root. Discussions of the etymology of elohim essentially concern this expansion. An exact cognate outside of Hebrew is found in Ugaritic ʾlhm, the family of El, the creator god and chief deity of the Canaanite pantheon, in Biblical Aramaic ʼĔlāhā and later Syriac Alaha ("God"), and in Arabic ʾilāh ("god, deity") (or Allah as "The [single] God").

  • God Beyond All Names Sermon.Pages
    God Beyond All Names The South Church Mount Prospect, Illinois January 26, 2014 !Exodus 3:13-15 13But Moses said to God, “If I come to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” He said further, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites, ‘I am has sent me to you.’” 15God also said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your ancestors, 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 my title for all generations. I remember when Angela came back from her first Sacred Dance Guild festival. It was 1999. The festival was held in Cleveland. I knew almost nothing about sacred dance. Bernadette Farrell’s song and the movement you just saw was my first introduction to Sacred Dance. I was blown away by the beauty and the power of the art form. I want to talk about that song today, about the words, the meanings. I often quote the title of this song at the beginning of my prayers. I do this as a reminder to myself and anyone listening that the word “God” is merely a sign, a symbol that points to a great, great mystery. Yes, we know parts of God, qualities of God, and aspects of God. But we should always use that word with respect and humility.
