Podcasts about El Shaddai

Send us Fan MailGod speaks one sentence that can steady you and unsettle you at the same time: “I am God Almighty… walk before Me and be blameless.” We sit with Genesis 17:1–8 and let the weight of El Shaddai land where it should, not as a slogan, but as the holy name of the One who can actually command righteousness and keep impossible promises.We trace how God returns to Abram again and again with the same covenant message: blessing, descendants, and an everlasting covenant that does not shrink just because the circumstances look hopeless. Abram is ninety-nine, Sarai is far beyond childbearing years, and yet God repeats the promise and then seals it with a new identity: Abram becomes Abraham, “father of a multitude,” before the fulfillment is visible. Along the way, we talk candidly about reverence, including a real moment of correction that ended a careless habit of speech for good.We also get practical about Christian holiness and spiritual growth. There's a daily conflict inside every believer: the Holy Spirit within us and the old sin nature fighting for control. The question is simple and searching: who gets the authority today? We close by reflecting on the enduring language of God's covenant, the promised land of Canaan as an everlasting possession, and a preview of what comes next with Isaac, Ishmael, and the covenant sign that sets Israel apart.Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves Bible teaching, and leave a review so more people can find these Genesis devotions and grow in faith.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

What do you do when God's promise feels impossible? In this message, Anna looks at Genesis 17 and God revealing Himself to Abraham as El Shaddai, God Almighty. After 13 years of waiting, God reveals Himself as the God who is still able to fulfil His promise, even when the circumstances seem unreasonable, unlikely or too late. This message explores the impossible places we find ourselves in, the old names and histories that hold us back, and what it means to step into the freedom Jesus has given us. God is still the God who shows up in the impossible.

When I pray "Our Father," I'm claiming a relationship. When I pray "Jehovah Jireh," I'm declaring that God sees and provides. The names of God aren't just titles or poetic language. They're invitations to experience different aspects of who He is and what He's capable of doing. Learning to pray through His names changes everything about what you ask for and what you actually believe He can do. In This Episode: The name you call God determines what you're claiming about Him in that moment, so "Father" brings intimacy, "Jehovah Jireh" brings provision, "El Shaddai" brings sufficiency, and each one opens a different door to His character When you're anxious, you need a different name than when you're grieving. Matching the name to the need is how you move from generic prayers to prayers rooted in what's actually true about God's nature The disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, and the first thing He said was "Our Father." He started with relationship because that's the foundation for everything else Praying through God's names takes you from asking with doubt to asking with confidence, because you're asking the God who is specifically able to handle exactly what you need in this moment Connect with us!

Guest Speaker: Bishop Robert Bonner

Mercy is not just a theological concept. It is a lived reality that transforms people from the inside out. Genesis 43 shows this through the story of Joseph and his brothers, where mercy is both received and reflected in powerful ways. Judah, a man with a deeply shameful past, steps up as a trustworthy leader because God's grace had already changed him. Jacob releases his sons into God's care, trusting El Shaddai with what he cannot control. Joseph, despite being deeply wronged, prepares a feast for his brothers rather than punishing them. True mercy always produces visible evidence in the lives of those who have genuinely received it. When God's mercy truly lands in our hearts, it changes how we handle our past, how we trust Him with our future, and how we treat the people who have hurt us.

Who Is God? Exploring the Names of the Divine Who is God, and how has He revealed Himself through Scripture? In this episode of Relish, Alex Zimmerman and Pastor Don Patterson examine the biblical names of God, including Yahweh, Jehovah, Elohim, Adonai, El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh, and Emmanuel. The conversation begins with the meaning and history of God's names before exploring Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush. What does “I AM WHO I AM” reveal about God's eternal and self-existent nature? The hosts also discuss: The relationship between Yahweh and Jehovah. The meaning of Elohim and its use in Scripture. Questions surrounding the Trinity and heavenly beings. How God's names reveal His character, presence, and provision. Why knowing God matters for identity and obedience. Through biblical teaching, personal stories, and pastoral reflection, this episode invites listeners to consider whether they truly understand the God they claim to worship.

On Sunday, we continued in our new sermon series on the names of God found throughout scripture. Pastor Ron preached out of Genesis 17:1-8 on El-Shaddai, the Lord Almighty, as a name of God. Be encouraged this week!

Minister Kunle Lijadu taught on “Our God: The Source of Sufficiency and Surplus.” We were reminded that God reveals Himself as El Shaddai—the Almighty and All-Sufficient God. Abraham's circumstances may have made God's promise appear impossible, but the fulfilment of that promise never depended on Abraham's sufficiency; it depended on God's. This is why our confidence cannot ultimately rest in our abilities, resources or circumstances. God is our Source, and trusting Him means recognising that whatever He has promised, He possesses everything necessary to accomplish. We saw this same truth when Jesus fed the multitude with five loaves and two fish. What appeared insufficient became more than enough when placed in His hands. God therefore calls us neither to idleness nor self-sufficiency, but to dependence accompanied by diligent action: we work faithfully, steward what He has given us, and trust Him to bless and multiply it. When we remain connected to the Source, we discover that El Shaddai is able not only to meet our needs but to produce sufficiency that overflows into surplus. Prayer: Father, thank You for being El Shaddai, my Almighty and All-Sufficient God. Deliver me from self-sufficiency and teach me to depend completely on You. As I faithfully use what You have placed in my hands, bless and multiply it, and let my life continually experience Your sufficiency and surplus. Amen.

Every parent has heard the words, Watch this! And every parent knows how that usually ends. But when Moses and Aaron walked into Pharaoh's palace and Aaron threw down his rod, it was the one time in history that Watch this was exactly the right thing to say. The serpent king was about to meet the shepherd king. In this message from the series Is the Old Testament Obsolete?, Pastor Jim Scudder opens Exodus 6 and 7 at Quentin Road Baptist Church. The Israelites have been beaten down, Moses has lost his nerve, and Pharaoh has refused to listen. Yet God answers with a string of I wills. Pastor Scudder explains the divine names Elohim, El Shaddai, and Yahweh, why the covenant God made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob rests on a promise rather than the law, and why he believes that promise still stands. Then the contest begins. Why Aaron's rod swallowing the magicians' rods was no parlor trick, why the Nile was sacred to Egypt, and what really happens when a hard heart is left alone like Play-Doh in the sun. And when death itself was swallowed up at the cross, what looked like weakness was the strongest moment in history. It was not the nails that held Jesus there. It was his love for you. Scripture referenced: Luke 21:33; John 1:17; Exodus 6:1-8; Galatians 3:17-18; Exodus 6:9-13; Exodus 6:28-30; Romans 3:10-13; Exodus 7:1; Exodus 7:10-12; 2 Thessalonians 2:9; 1 Corinthians 15:54; Exodus 7:20-25

El Shaddai o Deus que Age no Impossível - Talitha Pereira by Talitha Pereira

Melchizedek's Tabernacle of Victory.Welcome to Melchizedek's Tabernacle of Victory. Listen as Derick discusses biblical issues in a way that brings Wisdom and Truth directly from God's Word, directly to you! This week's show is called "The Lord Is Our Strong High Tower." Tune in and hear Derick as he continues to bring clarity to the Word of God. In this episode, the speaker begins a series on the attributes of God, using Proverbs 18:10 to explain the meaning of God's “name” as his character, reputation, and authority. The message describes God as a “strong tower” of refuge and safety and uses biblical and Hebrew references to illustrate how believers find protection in him.The teaching then reviews several names of God, including El Shaddai, El Elyon, Adonai, Yahweh, Jehovah-Jireh, Jehovah-Nissi, and Jehovah Tsidkenu, emphasizing God's provision, lordship, victory, and righteousness. It also focuses on Genesis 22 and Abraham's provision of a ram, presenting this as an example of God's supply and substitution, and closes by highlighting David, Jonathan, and the role of praise, prayer, and obedience.https://www.talknetworkradio.com/hosts/mtov/mtov-podcasts

What does it mean to be hidden in the secret place with God? In this message, Paul walks through powerful Scriptures that show how God protects, covers, and strengthens His people in hard seasons. The secret place is not about escaping life, but about bringing our problems into God's presence and finding peace there. When we sit with El Shaddai, the God who keeps His promises, we discover we are never alone in the storm.

When God reveals Himself, He reveals Himself through covenant. In covenant, our identity changes. Gen 17:1-11 / Rom 4:17-22 / Ps 115 / Acts 4-5 / Rev 3 / Heb 9 / Phil 4:19 / Eph 3:14-21

Send us Fan MailGUEST: PASTOR MATT MORRELL, Fourth Baptist Church in Plymouth, MNIt's been said that the most important thing about a person is what they think when they think about God.In other words, the more accurate our understanding of who God is—and the more willing we are to obey Him—the more we will think and live as God intends, for His glory and our good.Creation is God's general revelation to all people. Romans 1:20 says, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been cle1arly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.”Simply by looking at the world and the universe around us, every person everywhere knows that a magnificent, powerful, supernatural God exists. No one has an excuse for unbelief—He is clearly seen through creation. An atheist or agnostic is simply suppressing the truth because of a desire for unrighteousness.But general revelation through creation does not reveal the infinitely rich tapestry of God's nature and ways. It does not show us how sinners can be restored to a right relationship with Him. For that we need special revelation—the Word of God, which He supernaturally inspired men to write.Every page of the Bible reveals who God is: His stated will, His interaction with mankind, and His holiness and justice perfectly balanced with His compassion and mercy.One of the most instructive ways God reveals Himself in His Word is through His many names—about twenty or more. Some He established for Himself; others He inspired men to ascribe to Him. Names such as Yahweh, Elohim, and Adonai, along with compound forms like El Shaddai, Yahweh Shalom, and Yahweh Jireh, sharpen the believer's understanding of who God is and how He works.There is much going on in our country and in the world right now. But what could be more important than focusing on the One who created it all and who is in control of it all—the self-existent, eternal, triune Yahweh Elohim?Our guest today is Matt Morrell, pastor of Fourth Baptist Church and president of Central Seminary in Plymouth, Minnesota. He has been preaching a summer sermon series on the names of God and how Christians can anchor their faith and hope in Him.Matt also serves as pastoral advisor to the board of The Christian Worldview, providing personal and organizational accountability to a sound local church.---------------PROGRAM NOTES:THE NAMES OF GOD Sermon SeriesElohim Jehovah/Yahweh Adonai El Shaddai Jehovah Rapha Jehovah Shalom Jehovah Jireh Jehovah Shammah Jehovah Nissi

Welcome back to Wake Up Into Your Dream!This week, Barry returns to the Women Arising series with a very special guest and dear friend from Tanzania, El-Shaddai Matthias.We had the privilege of meeting El-Shaddai during our recent ministry trip to Tanzania, and we knew her story needed to be shared. She is a powerful example of a woman arising in this hour, one whose simple "yes" to God has opened doors she never could have imagined.Because this episode was recorded in a remote area of Tanzania, the video/audio quality isn't what we would have hoped due to limited internet service. We appreciate your grace as you listen, because we truly believe the message is worth it.Tune in now and be encouraged, challenged, and inspired to say "yes" to whatever God is asking of you.

Amy Grant graces the show today! We discuss her upcoming concert in Glenside, PA this Saturday 8/1 (8pm), "The Me That Remains" (her first new album in 13 years), and Amy's perspective on the road she has traveled. We weave in a handful of songs to help chronicle that journey, from "Old Man's Rubble" (Amy's first-ever single) and "Sing Your Praise To The Lord" (her first #1 Christian single) to "Love Will Find A Way" (Amy's first mainstream single) and "Baby, Baby" (her first #1 mainstream single), plus the title track from Amy's new album. Part of the road Amy shared is also related to the album cover of "The Me That Remains" and includes a challenging battle the past six years regarding a church her great-grandfather purchased in downtown Nashville in 1925. The church focused on doing the work of Matthew 25 but is currently boarded up and in danger of being put on the open market. Amy and her family's hope is that a court ruling (scheduled for tomorrow--Friday July 31) will make it possible for the property to be transferred to another non-profit instead, which would allow the church to once again be used for charitable work. Your prayers for this would be much appreciated! You can find out more about Amy's concerts, music and more at www.amygrant.com :)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever considered that not believing in Jesus as the God of abundance is misrepresenting Him? Join the discussion as we delve into the truth of God's desire for us to experience His overflowing provision.

Genesis 17 is not written for people who have it all together. It is written for people who have heard from God, made a mess in the waiting, and still need Him to speak again. After thirteen years of silence following Abram's detour with Hagar, God shows up and renews the same covenant He made years before. Before giving a single instruction, He reveals Himself as El Shaddai, God Almighty, because His commands always flow from His character. He calls Abram to walk before Him faithfully and to be blameless, not meaning sinless perfection, but wholehearted and undivided surrender. Many people are not failing because they openly reject God. They are failing because they are divided, half trusting and half controlling, half believing the promise and half engineering the outcome.God renames Abram as Abraham, father of many nations, and Sarai as Sarah, speaking identity over them according to the promise rather than the present reality. The sign of circumcision is given not to create the covenant but to mark belonging to it. In the same way, a life that belongs to God today should bear visible marks of that belonging, not through performance, but through truth telling, generosity, repentance, and embodied obedience. When Abraham laughs at the promise and asks God to simply bless Ishmael instead, God responds with grace toward Ishmael but remains clear that His covenant will be established with Isaac. God is gracious toward our detours, but He does not rewrite His covenant around the shortcuts fear produces.One of the most powerful moments in the chapter is easy to overlook. After God speaks, Abraham obeys on that very day. Not eventually. Not after processing it for months. That very day, at 99 years old. Real faith does not just admire what God says. It moves. Covenant living is not about being impressive or perfect. It is about being wholehearted. God is not asking for a polished performance. He is asking for a surrendered life, trusting that the same God who kept His word to Abraham is still keeping His word today.

X2M.249 Prévoyance — The Remnant and the Secret Place Series: CR20 Place De La Concorde Psalm 30 opens the gate: sorrow in the night, joy in the morning, lament turned into dancing. The Lord does not merely rescue from the pit — He restores the song after the silence.¹ Micah 5 sets the battlefield: the daughter is surrounded, the ruler is struck, the city is besieged, and Bethlehem appears too small to matter.² Yet this is where the King emerges. This is **Prévoyance**: To see provision before it appears. To prepare before vindication manifests. To enter rest while still surrounded by siege. To stand in holy agreement before the promise becomes visible. In **Place De La Concorde** architecture, X2M.249 is the foresight event. The remnant learns to hold the square before deliverance arrives. The old head of fear is removed; the true Head installs peace, order, and covenantal sight in the heart. The siege is real. Supply is pressured. Provision is threatened. The enemy whispers scarcity, insult, displacement, and fear. But the Lord is not absent from pressure. He is forming a people who can stand inside it without being defined by it.³ Hannah teaches the first motion of Prévoyance. She moves from barrenness to birth, from affliction to praise, from longing for the promise to offering the promise back to God.⁴ “My heart rejoices in the Lord.” “My horn is exalted in the Lord.” “There is no rock like our God.” This is prophetic equilibrium: praise before proof. Mary completes the arc. Her Magnificat carries Hannah's song into incarnation. The humble servant becomes the womb of fulfillment. The seed promised to Abraham takes on flesh.⁵ This is the remnant pattern: The seed falls. The stump remains. The branch emerges. The Spirit rests. The scattered are gathered. Praise launches inheritance into fruitfulness.⁶ Prévoyance is not prediction. It is Spirit-formed foresight — preparation for what God has spoken before the visible realm supplies evidence.⁷ That is why the secret place becomes central. Psalm 91 is not escape language. It is combat architecture. The one who dwells in the secret place abides under the shadow of El Shaddai. The remnant learns war not first by striving, but by abiding.⁸ Joshua remains in the tent after Moses leaves. He is formed in presence before he is entrusted with the land. The armies of darkness may surround. The siege may appear complete. But the remnant does not measure reality by the enemy's circumference. It stands in agreement. It waits in peace. It holds the square until the King's order becomes visible. Glorification | The Final Frontier Going boldly where the last man has gone before! Decrease time over target: PayPal or Venmo @clastronaut Cash App $clastronaut X2M.249 Prévoyance is not about predicting what comes next. It is about seeing from the secret place — standing in holy agreement, preparing without fear, and holding the public square of the heart until the King's vindication appears. **Footnotes** ¹ Psalm 30: lament becomes joy. ² Micah 5: siege, smallness, and emergence. ³ Pressure reveals covenant identity. ⁴ Hannah models praise after affliction. ⁵ Mary carries the promise into incarnation. ⁶ Isaiah's remnant logic: stump, branch, seed, Spirit. ⁷ Prévoyance: foresight without fear. ⁸ Psalm 91: abiding as warfare. ⁹ Place De La Concorde: agreement, headship, and peace under the true King.

Join Fr. Assisi Saldanha, C.Ss.R. for an insightful journey into the heart of biblical storytelling in this episode of the Who's Who in the Bible series. As we begin this reflective study, Fr. Assisi turns our focus to the prime mover of the biblical landscape—God Himself. Through a warm and prayerful exploration, he unpacks the significance of the various names attributed to God throughout scripture, such as Yahweh, Elohim, Adonai, and El Shaddai. By examining these titles, Fr. Assisi helps us move beyond simple facts to develop a deeper, more personal relationship with the Divine. The discussion expands into the Genesis creation narrative, contrasting it with ancient mythological stories to highlight the unique, effortless, and orderly nature of God's creative word. This episode invites listeners to ponder the balance between God's magnificent omnipotence and His tender, personal care for each of us in our fragility. We invite you to continue this meaningful journey by exploring the full series as we dive deeper into the characters and themes that shape our faith.

This week's teaching focused on El Shaddai, the God who is more than enough, revealing His power most clearly in places of weakness, waiting, and impossibility. Through the stories of Abraham, Job, and ultimately Jesus, we're reminded that God is both the unshakable mountain who overcomes every power and the tender Father who sustains and cares for His people. El Shaddai invites us to stop carrying life in our own strength and instead surrender fully to the God who is enough for every fear, failure, disappointment, and need.

This heartfelt message, centers on the powerful and nurturing nature of God, specifically emphasizing the name El Shaddai, meaning “God Almighty” and “the all-sufficient one.” Drawing from personal experience and scripture, Pastor Char shares how knowing God's character—His faithfulness, strength in weakness, and unwavering presence—brings profound comfort and sustenance, especially during times of loss and hardship. Using biblical stories like Abraham's covenant and Job's suffering, her message highlights that God's promises remain steadfast even when circumstances seem impossible. Rather than focusing on unanswered questions or painful situations, her message encourages believers to anchor their trust in who God is, not in why things happen. Pastor Char also stresses the importance of community, vulnerability, and receiving God's healing and restoration. Ultimately, this message is a powerful reminder that God is both mighty to fight our battles and tender enough to heal our broken hearts, calling us to surrender, trust, and experience His presence deeply in every season of life.

Daily Dose of Hope May 8, 2026   Name of God: El Shaddai – Lord God Almighty Scripture: Genesis 17:1-2, 28:3, 35:11, 43:14, 49:25, Psalm 91:1   Prayer: El Shaddai, God Almighty, I come before you today, recognizing that you are the Lord of more than enough. When I am weak, I lean on your strength. When I feel like I have nothing, I trust in your amazing abundance.  Lord, I bring my impossibilities to you, knowing that nothing is too hard for you; you make a way in the most difficult of situations. Break through my doubt and fear and fill me with your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding.  I thank You for being my provider, my protector, and my refuge. In the powerful name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently in a study on the names of God in the Old Testament.  As we have mentioned, in the ancient world, names held a great deal of significance, indicating aspects of someone's character and purpose.  Certainly, it is the same with God.  God has many different names, all of which demonstrate one aspect of His character.  Today, we are focusing on El Shaddai.  This name for God is found seven times in the Old Testament.   In our Genesis Scripture today, God introduces himself to Abram as El Shaddai.  God personally met with Abraham and brought him a new revelation of himself.  He is El Shaddai.  Our translations use the English name God Almighty for the Hebrew El Shaddai.  El Shaddai goes on to tell Abraham he would be the father of a many nations and that Sarah would bear a son.  God changed both of their names, promised them a certain piece of land, then commanded a sign of his covenant, which we know as the sign of circumcision.  God has waited a long time to bring this revelation to Abraham, so long that both Abraham and Sarah were past the age of childbearing.  Romans 4:19-21 describes Abraham, "and without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old and the deadness of Sarah's womb."  Later on in Genesis 17, it says that after El Shaddai spoke to Abraham, he had all the males in his household circumcised.  Even Abraham at age 99 was circumcised!  God Almighty asked and Abraham obeyed.   We've talked about how the word El, in Hebrew, means God. Shaddai's translation is a bit trickier. There is much debate on how it should translate into our English language. Like many things found within Scripture there is deeper meaning here. Shaddai in Hebrew has many sounds and meanings within this one word, so let's dig a little deeper: ·      Shadu is a word in Akkadian language that Abram spoke and it means mountain.  Thus, it would mean the God of the mountain. ·      Saday is a Hebrew noun that means a cultivated field or a wild place where animals abound.  Thus, it would mean a God who is the creator of life. ·      Shad is a Hebrew noun which means breasts or relating to fertility.  Thus, it means a God who nourishes or multiplies. ·      Day, at the end of word, means sufficient, enough, or abundance.   And while we may translate El Shaddai as Almighty God in English, it really just isn't sufficient.  El Shaddai is the God of the mountain who is Creator, who makes life out of nothing, multiplies it, and provides all we need and more in His great abundance.  He is a God faithful to his promises.  I hope you get a feel for the richness of the word.   Part of our Scripture reading for today was also Psalm 91, a beautiful psalm of protection.  And it reads something like this: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High God, El Elyon, will abide in the shadow of the Almighty, El Shaddai.  To abide is an old word that means to remain in, to rest in.  Thus, we call on El Shaddai when our life circumstances seem horrible or impossible and we need to lean into Him and remain in Him.  In doing so, we receive his strength, his abundance, and his faithfulness.  Out of his bounty, El Shaddai will pour into us and our life.   Has there ever been a time in your life in which circumstances seemed impossible? Has there been a time in which you needed to be nourished back to life and reminded that we have a God who keeps His promises and wants you to be a part of them?  Pray to El Shaddai today.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki        

There is power when a specific name is called on. Hypothetically, let's say we're on a boat in Bali, charting to the island of Nusa Pineda. If you hear me say, “Girls, come over here”, you would think, “hmmm, am I a girl? Yes – she wants to show me something and maybe it's something great I don't want to miss. But let's say we're on that boat in Bali, chartering to the island of Nusa Pineda for great adventures and you hear me say, “NURSE!”, you know that means something totally different. That means if you're not a nurse, this doesn't apply to you. But that means if you are a nurse, I need you to come quickly and help with a medical situation. That's all in the calling of a name. The name defines who is needed. You have many names perhaps. Friend, daughter, honey, mom, nurse, teacher … and each calls to you in a different way. For a mother, the sound of “Mom” turns every head in the grocery store. I'm Mom – what do you need? How can I take care of you? Now think about God. He reveals his different names to us for a reason – he wants us to call on him for who we need. The more you know his names, the better you can call on him and the more you can trust him. Remember, this study of the names of God comes from Psalm 9:10, “Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.” So far, we've studied 5 of the names of God. Let's do a review. Episode #2100: YHWH – The name you've always known since your first breath. A name not spoken, but rather breathed. LORD Episode #2101: Adonai – Lord, Master. The one responsible for you. Episode #2102: Elohim – Creator. The one who makes a new way when there is no way. The one who is making you new. Episode #2103: El Shaddai – God Almighty. The one whose hand is in everything and pours out his blessings on you. Episode #2104: Yahweh Rapha – The Lord who heals you – but not just your body, your mind, your heart, your relationships. Your entire life finds healing in him. Now, today, the 6th name of God revealed by God himself in scripture. A name he wants you to know so you can call on him in a very specific. A name he gives you so you can trust him more. Today's name is likely one you've never even heard of. A name that is very hard to pronounce, so together we're going to learn something new. Repeat after me – Mehhh Ka Desh Kem Together, Mehhh-ka-desh-kem. A name that tells you that you belong to him and he is actively shaping you. A name that gives you identity, value, worth, confidence and rest. A name that tells you to stop performing, stop trying to achieve so hard, stop trying to bend and contort yourself into perfection, and trust Yahweh Mekaddishkem to do his work in you. Is that what you need today? Girl, you don't have to figure this all out – you don't have to force anything – and you don't have to perform to please the Father. He's actually already done the work for you. We find this name in Exodus 31:3, but you won't see it in your English translation Bible. Without studying the original text of Hebrew, you'll completely miss this name God has shared of himself. Here's what you will see in your Bible: The LORD then gave these instruction to Moses: Tell the people of Israel: ‘Be careful to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sing of the covenant between me and you from generation to generation. It is given so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.” The LORD who makes you Holy in Hebrew was YHWH Mekaddishkem. Mekaddishkem comes from the Hebrew root “qadash” which means to sanctify, set apart, and to make you holy. So, what God is saying to his people here is I AM THE ONE WHO MAKES YOU FOREVER GOOD ENOUGH. It is my work in you that makes you holy. It's on ME to sanctify you. What does it mean that God will sanctify you? That's hard to explain isn’t it? What does that really look like? My friend, it's this simple and this incredibly unbelievable – You, in your totally flawed and imperfect state within the human condition are set apart for God's divine purpose and he is progressively and continually working on you to be more and more like Jesus. That is something you simply cannot do yourself, no matter how hard you try. What God is revealing to his people here isn't some unreachable complex theology, it's an identity shaping truth meant specifically of this people. YOU BELONG TO ME AND I AM ACTIVELY SHAPING YOU. You are “becoming” in me and through me. And who you're becoming is who he always created you to be – a girl who reflects Jesus! That's holy. That's sanctified. That's forever good enough. Your holiness is not self-produced. Think about God in his infinite and perfect ways – think about his unimaginable creation of the Universe all by just his spoken word – think of his power to do absolutely anything he wishes at any time – now really, do you think there's anything YOU could do that would impress HIM? Never. So, you can't stop trying to perform and earn your way to God's good graces. He's already declared you as worthy of his love. He's already claimed you as his dearly beloved Daughter of the Dance. You've already been set apart because of what HE did, not because of anything YOU have ever, could ever, or would ever do. You are set apart by God – you are different – you are HIS! This wasn't your responsibility. Your change, your growth, your newness comes from a source – that source is GOD – not you. You don't first act holy to be set apart. No, you are set apart, and once you understand that as your identity, you naturally begin to live differently. That's God's active, ever present, holy work happening IN YOU. You can't manufacture this holiness, you can only receive it. Open your hands and receive it. For real, open your hands right now and just receive his holiness. He's set YOU apart to be made holy by HIM. My sister, trying harder isn't your answer. Have you noticed all your efforts continually fall short. You know what gets you where you need to be? SURRENDER. You can't manufacture what God is trying to give you. You can only receive it with that open, surrendered hand and heart. Old Testament was about what you could do. Rules, laws, rituals, ceremonies, cleansing, sacrifices … and God's people continually messed that up. We simply couldn't get it right. We couldn't make ourselves holy. So, that's what our Jesus did for us. We're no longer a slave to continually trying to do the right thing. It's no longer about what you can do and what you can’t do – it's solely about WHO you belong to. This is belonging, and God says, “YOU BELONG TO ME – NOW I WILL MAKE YOU HOLY. I ALONE WILL SANCTIFY YOU.” Because God is the one who sanctifies you, you can know that your failure simply isn't in the way for him. You may stumble, God says that's all part of the process, and this is HIS PROCESS. Surrender and trust him along the way. Now, in closing, notice specifically where this revealing of God's name, YWHW Mekaddishkem comes – it comes after God gives his people the sabbath – a day of rest in his covenant with them. A day where he says, “Stop working. Stop striving. Stop trying to fix everything, and just rest in me. Let me work.” Is that what you need to hear today? Rest is part of the process of you becoming everything God desires of you. Will you trust God enough to STOP sometimes? Will you trust God enough to rest from the work too? YHWH Mekaddishkem means: God is not waiting for you to become holy – He is already committed to making you holy. He is actively sanctifying you. Stop trying to fix everything and start yielding to the one who is shaping you. You can trust YHWY Mekaddishkem completely.

There is a name God reveals of himself for when things look absolutely over.  When the world says it's officially impossible.  When you're at your end, without further possibility or hope and in need of a true miracle.  This is where God says he is “El Shaddai”. El Shaddai.  El means God and Shaddai means many things in many ways.  It's not just one thing … just as God is not one thing. • Shaddai comes from the root word shadah which means to shed or to pour out.  In this way, God is the one who pours out blessings, abundantly and continually. • The Hebrew word shad means chest or breast.  God is both the strength of a man's chest and the all-sufficient nourishment of a woman's breast. • Shaddai also comes from the root word shadad, which means to display great power. • And when Shaddai was translated into Greek, the word pantokrator was used – which in English is Almighty.  Specifically, one who has His hand on everything. Layers upon layers of deep meaning are in this name God reveals of himself.  El Shaddai.  He pours out blessings, he is strong with great power, he is more than enough, and his almighty hand is in everything, always.  Girls, THAT IS OUR GOD! We see God use this name in Genesis 17:1.  Speaking to Abraham, he says, “I am El-Shaddai – ‘God Almighty.'  Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life.  I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.” The truth of this situation is Abraham is 99 years old and what God is saying is officially impossible.  But God had made a promise to Abraham when he was 75 years old, a promise for descendants of his own.  A man who had waited his whole life for children and he finally gets a promise from God in his old age, and then he's left waiting again.  Waiting and waiting and waiting.  And while he's waiting, God stops speaking.  At this point, he's been waiting on the promise for nearly 25 years and even worse, it's been 13 years since the last recorded word from God to him.  It was if God had gone silent and forgotten his promise.  Abraham is 99, ain't no way it's happening now! Have you ever felt like God has gone silent on you?  Like he used to be so near and so clear, but you somehow lost that connection.  And with this disconnect, you are left wondering if his promises still stand for you and your future.  That's a real feeling – one I have felt before and I bet you have too.  My sister, God can handle those feelings.  You don't have to hide them from him, you can be honest. This is where God meets Abraham – in the long waiting and wondering after years of silence and messy self-created problems.  This is where God reveals that he is El Shaddai.  Here, where the promise still hadn't happened, Abraham's body was incapable and Sarah's womb had cobwebs.  God introduces himself right here at this point of impossibility.  El Shaddai, Almighty and All-Sufficient.  He is the God who can override natural limits without permission, understanding or explanation. And notice this … God waited all this time to reveal himself as El Shaddai.  He waited for 25 years AFTER he made an impossible promise to Abraham.  He waited for 13 years after he had last spoken to him.  He waited in the painful silence and the impossible growing even more impossible.  He waited until Abraham had absolutely no ability left whatsoever, and he waited until there was no hope left in that promise at all.  And this is where El Shaddai comes on the scene. Why?  Because only the Almighty, All-Sufficient one could do anything about this situation. Here's the truth, you don't need El Shaddai when you can work things out on your own.  You don't need El Shaddai when you have other options.  You don't need El Shaddai when there's still time.  You need El Shaddai when it's humanly OVER.  When the doctor says it's incurable.  When the door is not only closed, but dead bolted shut.  When it's 25 years past the deadline.  When it's so far gone there's nothing but a pitch black tunnel ahead with no light to be found.  That is when you need El Shaddai. This name of God comes with promise, it comes with identity, and it requires trust.  Trust for what seems ridiculous to be trusting for.  I don't know what you're finding so hard to trust for, but I bet there's something in your life that requires the power of El Shaddai.  My friend, he is here for you.  His hand is in everything, including your thing.  He is more than enough for this situation that's way too far gone.  His power is still over this! What God is saying to Abraham here is, “I am El-Shaddai, God Almighty.  I am FULLY CAPABLE, so you just stay fully surrendered.  Abraham, you live right and I will get this right!” Wow – there it is.  That's precisely the message God has for you today.  Hear him loud and clear.  My girl, you live right and I will get this right!  I am fully capable, you stay fully surrendered.  El Shaddai requires trust over control and faith over striving. When you feel not enough…  When you feel so far behind. .. When you feel completely incapable…  When you feel like the opportunity has already passed and it's too late … El Shaddai says, “I am not limited by what you lack.”  Your lack of answers doesn't limit God.  Your lack of time doesn't affect God's infinite timeline.  Your lack of resources doesn't deplete God of his resources.  My friend, your timeline isn't restricting God and your resources are not defining his outcome.  Go ahead and give him that impossible – give him that wayyyyy too late – give him that dead end and no hope – watch El Shaddai work!!!  He will be more than enough for you. For my friend who is overwhelmed and stressed at work with an impossible load to carry – you need El Shaddai. For my friend who has watched the last thread of hope for someone to truly love you unravel and left you with a broken heart again – you need El Shaddai. For my friend who is still waiting and waiting and waiting, as you watch the promise coming true for everyone but you – you need El Shaddai. For my friend who doesn't even know how to hope anymore – you need El Shaddai. He doesn't need you to be strong here, he simply needs you to be surrendered here.  Bring him that hopeless heart.  Bring him that desperate need.  Bring him that empty chair, that empty crib, that empty account, that empty spirit.  El Shaddai, we're calling on you!!!!!!!! Remember what God is asking of you – LIVE RIGHT and stay surrendered – he will get this right for you. El Shaddai.  The 4 meanings: 1.  Shadah, shed your blessings.  Pour them out abundantly, God. 2.  Shad, both the strong powerful chest of a man and the all-sufficient nourishment of a woman's breast. 3.  Shadad, displaying great power. 4.  And pantokrator, the one who has his hand on everything! El Shaddai.  He pours out blessings, he is strong with great power, he is more than enough, and his almighty hand is in everything, always.  THAT IS YOUR GOD!
