EL Shaddai
Honoring His Holy Name

The myriad names of God can help us to experience God’s majesty and the deep and abiding love he feels for us. God reveals His wonderful names to us so that we may encounter and experience Him in all these ways. While it is marvelous to read the inspiring names of God in the Bible, our true purpose is to come to know God on a personal level.
​
He wants to reveal himself to us in ways that will amaze and astonish us. As we read through and study the various names of God from Hebrew and Holy Scripture, we can better allow His presence to saturate our lives. We can enhance our relationship with God as we come to accurately understand the many aspects of His holy names. He longs for us to know Him to the fullest. These names reveal who God wants to be for you and for me.

The Faith Factor

123 Inspiring Thoughts on Faith
Faith in Jesus Christ is more than simply a pronouncement of belief. Faith in Him entails absolute dependence on Him. He has unbounded power and love. There is no earthly dilemma He cannot solve. He suffered all things and knows how to help us overcome our day-to-day conundrums. Faith means trusting in His wisdom when we are confused and uncertain.
Faith is power. It is a mystical, divine power that surpasses all we can possibly envision. It is the power by which God functions. It is a power that, over time, can also be yours if you desire it and seek it.

THE POWERFUL CHRISTIAN SERIES

"But God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control."
2 Timothy 1:7

Turning Faith into Power

Jesus says in Matthew 17:19-20, "For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." As believing Christians there is substantial power available to us. It is the power of faith. Through the bounteous mercy and love of Jesus Christ we receive his grace - a divine means of strength. The power available to us through Jesus Christ is very real.     

Gaining Power from Prayer

Every faithful Christian should be intimately acquainted with the remarkable power of prayer. Sincere prayer is a fountain of divine power flowing into our lives. Through prayer we gain clear and precise direction. Through prayer we access the strength of character to perform God's will – to do what is right. Prayer is the process we use to place ourselves in contact with God.​

The Added Power of Obedience

One of the most pronounced sources of spiritual power is obedience to the laws of God. Many are more than willing to die for their beliefs than to faithfully live them. The most effective way to introduce others to the word of God is not to die for it, but simply to obey it.
When God sends us a miracle, it is because we obeyed a commandment that justified a miracle. Any desire we hope to achieve or accomplish that is exceptional, substantial, or advantageous will be realized through obedience to God’s law.

The Healing Power of Forgiveness

Repentance and forgiveness are the essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are principles that offer hope, expectation and encouragement to every believer. Faith in Jesus Christ teaches us that it is worth everything to continually cleanse and purify our lives through repentance. It is because of our faith in Him that we have the power to receive His forgiveness. The great blessing and miracle is that you and I have the very same power given to us.
