Good Morning Wednesday...
FATHER, YOUR COMMANDMENTS are a Lamp to our feet. Help us to live aware, to choose wisely, to stay close to You, and anchored in Your Truth! Thank You for YOUR GREAT LOVE AND MERCY. Thank You that You wait for us and You strengthen us. We come to You today, choosing to walk in YOUR PRESENCE AND LIGHT. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. Amen. - Counting Down The Commandments To 2021 - Honoring God Our Father & Savior’s Name - Command (Instruction) #3 “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God, because Yahweh will not leave unpunished anyone who misuses his name.” Exodus 20:7 Instruction: People have been crying out to Our Father since the beginning of time. It is one thing to cry out to God Almighty by titles such as: God, King, Master, Father, or LORD, but it is quite another to call out to Him by His Name, Yahweh. Can you imagine visiting a king, president, or ruler and not speaking to him with lofty titles such as your majesty, president, or your highness, but by their first name? That would suggest friendship, a close relationship, and a familiarness with that king. What a privilege we have with Our Father, The One True and Living King of All! We can read in The Bible where earthly kings are spoken about and none are ever just address by name, yet Our Father tells us to “Call Out To Him” and by His Name (Jeremiah 33:3)... a mighty privilege indeed, reserved for only those closest to Him. Our Father did not give us this privilege of knowing His Name though to be abused, hence The Third Commandment (Exodus 20:7). An interesting fact: In the ancient civilizations in which Israel lived among it was believed that if you could figure out one of the false pagan gods personal names, you could control them. In The Third Command to Israel, then and now, Our Father is lovingly telling us that we are not to take the extreme privilege of Him having revealed His Name to us for granted. Our Father is telling us not to abuse this privilege. His Name is not a magic charm, He cannot be controlled, and we can’t just have whatever we want because we use His Name, especially if we use it in vanity. We are to use Our Father’s Name as an expression of respect, Love, and to show the relationship we have with Him. Maybe none of us has ever used His Name as a sort of magic charm, we hope, but we have all tried to manipulate and control Him, bending Him to our will rather than submitting to His. * Note: Yeshua, or as most of us learned His Name, Jesus, means “Yahweh Is Salvation.” This means calling on The Name of Jesus, is in fact... Calling on The Name of Yahweh. 🎯🔥 How much sense does that make when Yeshua tells us to “pray in His Name?” Perfect sense. When we pray in The Name of Yeshua or Jesus, we are praying in The Name of The Father and The Son. The Wisdom of Our Father Is... Never Ending. 🎯🔥🙌 The Giving of Thanks: It is a great privilege, honor, and a sign of how much Our Father loves us that He has revealed His Name to us, and we should be extremely thankful. By making His Name known to us and revealing who He Is, His Character and Nature, we should thank Him everyday. Let’s take a moment now to thank Him, God Our Father In Heaven, for revealing His Name and His Character to us so vividly in His Word, in our lives, and since our conversion, in our hearts. Confession: Confess to God Our Father the ways that you have tried to control or manipulate Him rather than submit to Him. Do you ever try to force Him, God Almighty, to move His Hand? Have you treated Our Father’s Name with disrespect or treated lightly the fact that He Has Revealed His Very Character and Essence to You in the person of Yeshua, Jesus Christ? Confess these things to Him, resting in His Great Love for you and the forgiveness He Offers for all these things in Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus Christ. Prayer: Our Dear and Precious Father Yahweh, thank You so much for the revelation of Your Name! You have revealed Yourself to us most fully in Our King, Your Word, Your Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Who Is The Perfect Expression of Your Name, and in fact Bears Your Name In His. Your Name is The Name Above Every Name and Has No Equal, which you lovingly tell us in Your Word. We Love You, We Praise You, and we say this prayer in Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Mighty Name Father, because... we pray In Your Name As Well. Amen.
