Covenant Names of God: Yahweh Nissi

How does God use evil for good? Rabbi Schneider shares the covenant names of God: if we want to know God as our healer, we must walk in His ways. But don't deny that God does use sickness to accomplish His objectives. But God is not interested in keeping someone sick. God is a God that wants you healed. Consider Paul, who God used sickness to keep him from becoming puffed up in himself and to keep Paul relying on God's strength. God uses ALL things to accomplish good.

The Covenant Names of God: Yahweh Ropheka

Why are some people healed and some are not? How does God heal us? Do we have any responsibility for our own health? Rabbi Schneider shares that Yahweh Ropheka means that He is the Lord Your Healer.

When we disregard and act irresponsibly with our bodies, we are not walking in the way of the LORD. Learn how to trust God for your health because He is Yahweh Ropheka. Read: Exodus 15:26 If you will walk in my ways...

The Covenant Names of God: Yahweh Yireh

What does Yahweh Yireh mean? What does Yahweh Ropheka or Yahweh Rophe mean? Rabbi Schneider shares that El Shaddai, God Almighty, was the name known prior to revealing His covenant name, Yahweh. Yahweh's name is used over 7,000 times in the Old Testament. In Hebrew, there are no vowels. Learn how the scribes hid the name of God to prevent gentiles from using God's name in blasphemous ways. In the ancient Hebrew language, there was no "J" sound. As language changes forms, we see how the accent markings and the new sounds caused the gentile church to mispronounce the personal name of God. Yahweh Yireh (God Will Provide) is a combination that God does with His name to show you what He will do. Know this so that you will learn to trust Yahweh Yireh. Father, thank You, that You are Yahweh Yireh and that You will provide.

The Covenant Names of God: Yahweh Elohim

Who is Elohim? Is God's name so sacred we shouldn't say it? Rabbi Schneider shares that God has a personal name. (This is the very first in a series of messages about the names of God.) By knowing God's name, Yahweh, we encounter God and know who He is. But Elohim is a title, the plural of El, weighted and recognizing the godhead as three-in-one. The concept of relationship stems out of God's own nature as multidimensional. YHWH/Yahweh revealed His covenant name to Moses so we can call on Yaweh in love and reverance. Call upon God by His name, Yahweh, because He wants you to know Him. He wants a relationship with you. Jehovah is a mispronunciation because ancient scribes concealed God's name to confuse gentiles to avoid blaspheming it. God's name Yahweh is a verb and He is continuous, unfinished action because God is alive and involved in your life forever. Yahweh is your God and He loves you.
