I woke up from a no ordinary dream and I was immediately led to do a quick study on the Name Yaweh. I had sung the Name in some songs and had some understanding that it is a Name used for God. But never truly knew why or how that Name came about. I shall tell you about the dream later but first things first, why the Name Yaweh?
Yahweh Is The Sacred Name: The Name Yahweh is sacred. The Jews considered as unpronounceable and incommunicable.
Yahweh Is The Covenant Keeping Name: Yahweh is the covenant-keeping Name of God. When the creative aspect of God is recorded then the Name Elohim is used (Genesis 1). However when there is a relationship involved with humanity the Name Yahweh is used (Genesis 2). These differences are consistent throughout the entire Old Testament.
Yahweh Is Used With Other Names For God: Yahweh is used in combination with other names for God. Yahweh-Elohim: This is translated “the Lord God.” This title is used of God’s relationship to humanity as the Creator, and Redeemer.
God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my Name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.” (Exodus 3:15)
There are at least 10 things the Name Yahweh, “I AM,” says about God:
1. He never had a beginning. Every child asks, “Who made God?” And every wise parent says, “Nobody made God. God simply is. And always was. No beginning.”
2. God will never end. If He did not come into being He cannot go out of being, because He is being.
3. God is absolute reality. There is no reality before Him. There is no reality outside of Him unless He wills it and makes it. He is all that was eternally. No space, no universe, no emptiness. Only God.
4. God is utterly independent. He depends on nothing to bring Him into being or support Him or counsel Him or make Him what He is.
5. Everything that is not God depends totally on God. The entire universe is utterly secondary. It came into being by God and stays in being moment by moment on God’s decision to keep it in being.
6. All the universe is by comparison to God as nothing. Contingent, dependent reality is to absolute, independent reality as a shadow to substance. As an echo to a thunderclap. All that we are amazed by in the world and in the galaxies, is, compared to God, as nothing.
7. God is constant. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He cannot be improved. He is not becoming anything. He is who He is.
8. God is the absolute standard of truth and goodness and beauty. There is no law-book to which He looks to know what is right. No almanac to establish facts. No guild to determine what is excellent or beautiful. He himself is the standard of what is right, what is true, what is beautiful.
9. God does whatever He pleases and it is always right and always beautiful and always in accord with truth, love and justice. All reality that is outside of Him He created and designed and governs as the absolute reality. So He is utterly free from any constraints that don’t originate from the counsel of His own will.
10. God is the most important and most valuable reality and person in the universe. He is more worthy of interest and attention and admiration and enjoyment than all other realities, including the entire universe.
Song Lyrics:
Your Name is Yaweh
Your Name is Yahweh
Your Name is Yahweh
You are the Mighty God
This song and lyrics was first sung by me in the dream I had: I was leading worship in a place that looks like an auditorium that was in a centre of buildings and many rooms at different floors open to and faced this auditorium. As the song rose from my spirit…people pouring out of their rooms moved to worship God and others were moved to tears. I spoke words that were laid heavily upon my heart to say to them and then continued to sing. I woke up still singing the song.
These were the Words Spoken in the dream as a ministration and it may be a word for you: “I don’t know what you are or may have been going through but God knows. I don’t know what you are in need of but God knows.
And He wants me to tell you that He is Jehovah Jireh God your provider….”
Glory be to God!
