THE LIFE OF MOSES – LESSON 7

GOD’S NAME REVEALED – PART 2

_________________________________

Yesterday we spoke of the two names for the trinity godhead. Elohiym is the general name used for all mankind (‘adam) and Yahweh is the personal name for His people.

In Exodus 3:6 God identified Himself at the burning bush to Moses as “I Am the (Elohiym) of thy father, the God (Elohiym)of Abraham, the (Elohiym) of Isaac, and the (Elohiym) of Jacob. And Moses hid his face for he was afraid to look upon God. (Elohiym).”

As God gave Moses his commission to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt, he had a concern. With “Elohiym” being a general usage name and not necessarily specific to the Hebrews only, why would they believe Moses that Elohiym would send them out of Egyptian bondage as a free people? Moses asked God how he should reply relating to the god of their forefathers when they asked him (v. 13), “What is His name?”

In verse 14 God identified Himself to Moses as the eternally existent One, “I AM THAT I AM.” This was the Hebrew “hayah” meaning “to exist.” He then gave Moses instruction to tell the Hebrews that “I AM hath sent me to you.” Now God’s name of “I AM” got more personally specific to their situation. Here it is the Hebrew “Shalach” which means “to send away.” This form of God’s name was telling the people that He was going to “send them away” from Egypt. Then he further instructed Moses in verse 15 to tell them “Yahweh Elohiym” (LORD God) of your fathers…hath sent me unto you. This is my name forever (to you) … this is my memorial unto all (your) generations.”

This is the first instance where God revealed His personal name to Moses so he could share it with His people. Later Moses would speak to Pharaoh of the Yahweh Elohiym (LORD God) of Israel to distinguish Him from all the many Egyptian Gods. The two names for God of “Hayah” and “Shalach” (v. 14) were used uniquely for this occasion. I know of no other places that they are used.

Moses is now equipped to tell them who really is their god, and it was not the pagan gods they grew up around, although they had certainly heard of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He just had not become personal to them as Yahweh until now.

Our God is a personal, loving God.  The God of Islam is an uncaring, impersonal god who controls their life like a dictator. They have no concept of a God of love until they learn of Jesus, but they are threatened with death if they turn to Jesus or even read a bible. They are controlled through fear and intimidation through indoctrination.

We have a love that we can share, the love of God. That is what will win them.

THE SPIRIT OF JOSEPH

__________________

It seems in this season the body of Christ is currently in that there are offenses everywhere. The anger level in many churches is off the chart. Political divides have caused great divisions. Doctrinal issues have bred hatred of one denomination against another.

This should never be the case. We are all unique, and in spite of having some differences, we are one body of Christ if we are born again. 

Matthew 18:6 says, “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” This is our Lord speaking, and his view on offense.

If anyone in the bible had a good reason to be offended, it was Joseph. His brothers hated him. He was sold into slavery and taken from his family. He was lied upon by his new master’s wife. He was put into prison. He helped others that forgot him. Yet, when he was elevated to second in authority under Pharaoh and saw his brothers he did not resort to getting even. He had a different spirit. 

In Genesis 45:5 he said this to his brothers, “Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.”

He had forgiven them, and we need to forgive all others just the same. We must be without spot or blemish before the Lord. There is no room for any offense in our lives. If someone hurts you, forgive them immediately, and then let it go. Always stay in a place of reconciliation. Let the love of God carry you through those times, and others will see it and be drawn to that love. They will see that you have a different spirit too.

PROPHETIC WORD

We’ve found from Bible days to our present day that; Warfare will most always surround the birthplace of a real miracle. So today if warfare is surrounding your life then you should carefully and prayerfully examine yourself; For either you're on the brink of a miracle…Or God is allowing things to get stirred up in your life for a season and for a reason. Yes, He loves you and I enough to get our attention and to keep us from making a wrong move. Just know that either way God is bringing a miracle TO you or it’s going THROUGH you. So wake up and see what’s happening in your life for there is; A miracle trying to get THROUGH you so it can get TO you.

Wednesday Thought For Today

Have you ever wished you could have a do over for your life? As I watched a TV show one night I caught myself thinking; if I had only acted differently I would have been a different person and had a different life. It might sound good but is it?

God says in Psalms 139 that He made me. He knit me together in my mother’s womb.



So what is my take away from this? God made me just the way I am. He knew what I was going to be like. Then I had to accept me for who God created me to be.

And you are God’s perfect creation also. You are not someone’s throw away. It is up to you to seek Him and ask Him to show you His plan for your life, because He has one!

Psalms 139:1 says; “O Lord, You have examined my heart and know everything about me.”

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord. Plans for good and not for disaster, to give you hope and a future.

How Big!!!! HCC

Our God is oh so BIG!

It blows the mind; how big He is.

 Look around and see this Creation, this Christ.

He knows your thoughts before you speak.

He knows all that you do.

 He knows your sin and does forgive.

 He knows when he entered you.

 God knows a babe before the birth.

He sees what’s in the Womb.

Not only that, look up and see

The big surprise, the Earth, the Sun, and Moon.

The millions of stars, a special twinkle from God

All for you and I.

The World rolls around so perfectly,

This awesome Universe, the sky! Look and see!

 Look and see! Come on people, start to think,

What your God does show.

And then he gives you a book to read, the Bible.

He loves us so. And just know, how many

Roam the Earth today. He knows them all.

He knows the millions, and you ask,

How Big is our God!!
