  5. Who is GOD?(Yahweh-Jehovah) • One of the most important names for God in the Old Testament, taken from the verb “to be” meaning simply, but profoundly, “He Is.” • GOD’s full name is found only in Ex. 3:14 and means “I AM WHO I AM” or “I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE.” • GOD revealed Himself by the four letter Hebrew word YHWH at the burning bush. • The burning bush was a vivid symbol of the inexhaustible dynamism of GOD who burns like a fire with love and righteousness, yet remains the same and never diminishes.

  6. Who is GOD?(Jehovah-Elyon) • “Supreme God” • Genesis 14:17-20 • This name for God appears over 40 times in the Old Testament.

  7. Who is GOD?(El Shaddai) • “Almighty God” • Genesis 17:1-3 • This name for God in the Hebrew emphasizes God’s ability to handle any situation that confronts His people.

  8. Who is GOD?(Jehovah-Repheka) • “GOD Will Heal” • Exodus 15:25-26 • GOD made our bodies, and GOD is able to heal them and keep them healthy when we meet His conditions by obeying His instructions. • Most people read the benefits promised in God’s Word, but they fail to read the conditions attached to them.

  9. Who is GOD?(Jehovah-Jireh) • “GOD Will Provide” • Genesis 21:33-22:31 • The Lord will provide everything a Christian needs to tell the unsaved about Jesus. Whether it’s something material or spiritual, obvious or hidden - the right book to loan or true insight into what that one needs to hear - regardless of what is needed, the Lord will provide it, so long as you use His provision to service Him.

  10. Who is GOD?(Jehovah-Tsidgenu) • “GOD Our Righteousness” • Jeremiah 23:6

  11. Who is GOD?(Jehovah-Nissi) • “GOD Is My Banner” • Exodus 17:15-16 • Moses used this name to declare that God would always conquer the foes of His people. So long as Moses and the Israelites followed the Lord, they would have victory. • People march under different “banners” today. They put their trust in different things; they give credit for their success to different things. • What do you credit for making you what you are today?

  12. Who is GOD?(Jehovah-Shalom) • “GOD Is Peace” • Judges 6:24 • GOD expects His people to live victoriously and confidently. We can’t live that way on our own, but we can live that way through the grace of God, “which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” • Does that mean that we are not going to have any problems? • No, the Bible doesn’t say that at all. The Bible does say that when problems come, GOD will give us confidence to face those problems.
