The Power of the Names of God

The names of God are beautiful in representing God's character, as well as different aspects of His person. These names have been revealed to us so we can know about the incredible depth of our God and rely upon Him with regard to each of His attributes.

I have often meditated upon the names of God and have prayed calling upon each of these names. There is prophetic revelation that can be received when this is done. I encourage you to read the following list and meditatively consider, as well as call upon God utilizing these names. The names of God are powerful for standing strong in Him, overcoming the enemy in Christ, growing in our knowledge of Who God is, and for making petitions to the Father concerning the blessings that each of His names impart.

El Shaddai - The Lord God Almighty
El Elyon - The Most High God
Adonai - Lord, Master
Yahweh - Lord, Jehovah
Jehovah Nissi - The Lord My Banner
Jehovah Raah - The Lord My Shepherd
Jehovah Rapha - The Lord That Heals
Jehovah Shammah - The Lord Is There
Jehovah Tsidkenu - The Lord Our Righteousness
Jehovah Mekoddishkem - The Lord Who Sanctifies You
Jehovah Jireh - The Lord Will Provide
Jehovah Shalom - The Lord Is Peace
Jehovah Sabaoth - The Lord of Hosts
El Olam - The Everlasting God

Expect the Holy Spirit to minister to you as your pray and meditate upon these names. Reciting and calling forth these names can be an important means through which your worship and praise is energized and to propel you into the Holy of Holies.

His names are powerful and mighty!
