You've probably heard the song that was popular a few years back called, "El-Shaddai." You may have hummed along, but do you know what that means?

Join Lisa and Laura for our series Names of God. In biblical times, names were of great importance—they conveyed a person's essence, history, nature, or character. As we explore the various names of God in the Old Testament, we gain insight into His character. With each name, we will learn a new attribute, deepening our understanding of and growing closer to God. In today's episode, we explore our second name, El Shaddai, which comes from two Hebrew words, “El,” the singular word for God, and Shaddai, meaning “Almighty” or “All-Sufficient.”  Do you believe that God is your Sustainer and has the power to show up in impossible situations and work miracles? Or do you take matters into your own hands when it looks like God isn't coming through on His promises? Today's conversation is one of our favorites, and you are encouraged to grab a cold drink, your Bible, settle in, and receive the truth you desperately need to hear: God can do the impossible. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Genesis 17:1: When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless." Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Genesis 12:1–2: Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.” Genesis 15:2–3: “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” And Abram said, “Behold, you have given me no offspring; and a slave born in my house will be my heir.” Genesis 15:4: “This man shall not be your heir; your own son shall be your heir.” Genesis 16 Genesis 17 Genesis 18:12–14: So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?” The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, and say, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?' Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Genesis 18:15: But Sarah denied saying, “I did not laugh”; for she was afraid. And He said, “No, but you did laugh.” Genesis 22 Romans 4:18–21: In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations; as he had been told, “So shall your descendants be.” He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb. No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. Psalm 91:1–2: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. How is God calling you to trust Him as El Shaddai? Look at that area of life where He is asking you to trust Him and ask yourself whether there's a root of bitterness in your heart because you feel He is taking too long.  Show mentions.

Happy Mother's Day! On this special day, Titilayo Akinsola ministers on 'El Shaddai – The Breasted One.' Watch and be blessed in Jesus' name.y

Welcome to Daily Bitachon. We are completing the final explanation of our first pasuk , the word ורב V'Rav /The Jewish people became many, they multiplied. The Baal Haggadah explains that they are multitudes like the grass of the fields. So the word rav means a lot. But the Sefer Shibolei HaLeket quotes Rabbenu Yeshayahu that v'rav is does not mean they became a lot. Rather, it means holech u'mitrabeh / They are constantly growing. That's why we say revavah k'tzemach hasadeh netatichech / they were multiplying like the grass of the fields. Grass of the fields just keeps on growing and growing. This pasuk actually uses three terms: gadol /great, atzum /powerful, and v'rav / many or multiply . The Maharal in his Sefer Divrei Negidim page פ tells us, these three terms correspond to the merits of our three Avot . The term gadol is in the zechut of Avraham. Like it says v'e'escha l'goy gadol / I'm going to make you into a goy gadol, a great nation. Therefore, his children became gedolim , as we explained gadol means that you're not influenced by the outside world;you are an influencer , not an influencee . Atzum , powerful, is in the merit of Yitzchak Avinu. King Avimelech told Yitzchak Lech me'imanu ki atzamta mimenu me'od / Leave us because You are much more powerful than us . That's the term atzum . Finally, the term v'rav is in the merit of Yaakov Avinu, whom Hashem told El Shaddai yevarech otcha v'yafrecha v'yarbecha , He will make you fruitful v'yarbecha/ and multiply you. So V'Rav / To multiply is ascribed to Yaakov Avinu. He had 12 children and from there everything branched out. This is a fundamental- that everything we have is zechut avot . What is this concept specifically of V'Rav ? The Sefer Maaseh Nissim asks, Is is true that we more than anybody else? The other nations are more than us. And he answers that V'Rav means they have a multiplying power but it's not that they're numerous, rather, qualitatively , they have a multiplying power. They have the potential for tremendous growth. Like a seed that grows into something else that has more seeds and continues and continues. There are trees that can become extinct. There are things that are wiped out, but grass is always there. It keeps growing and multiplying to no end. That is the potential of Jewish people- that they will be forever. We are an eternal nation. Of course, there are nations that are numerically more than us. But going back to the time of Mitzrayim , has any culture survived like us? We have that power of survival of eternity, we are the eternal nation. As we have spoken about before, in we V'Hi SheAmda , we are the eternal nation, the Jewish people. That is the blessing of V'Rav . Yaakov Avinu wrestled with the angel of Eisav Ad alot hashachar / until the morning star. The Sefer HaChinuch , in the third mitzvah, talks about the underlying reason behind gid hanasheh /the displaced sinew from the wrestling match between Yaakov and this and the angel of Esav, which is to hint to us that even though we will suffer tremendous difficulties during our exiles, in the hands of the nations, in the hands of the children of Esav, we are guaranteed betuchim shelo yovdu / that we will not become extinct. l'olam ya'amod zar'am v'shmam , forever their children will last. By constantly remembering this, they will strengthen their emunah that they will last forever. When Esav's angel fought Yaakov, he hit him on his thigh, symbolizing his seed. He was trying to eradicate the future seed. But we survived. Yaakov Avinu was limping, but the sun came out and he was healed. That is a sign for us that The sun of Mashiach will come v'yirpa'einu and heal us and redeem us. That is the seed -like aspect of revavah , that we will be there forever. The seed will never end; it is constantly replanting and restarting. Yet another lesson and Chizuk in emunah and bitachon from our Haggadah.

Send us a textSound has a remarkable ability to transform our reality, and for four years on The Word Cafe podcast, I've been drawing inspiration from my personal archives of worship songs and spiritual melodies. This celebration episode opens the door to my creative process, revealing how these timeless songs have shaped my faith journey and continue to fuel my podcasting adventure.I believe wholeheartedly that divine manifestation is preceded by sound. When my mother sang prayers over me during childhood illness, those melodies created sanctuaries of hope that still echo decades later. Morning devotions with family weren't just routines—they were portals to experiencing God's presence through songs like "How Excellent Is Your Name." During academic disappointments in secondary school, Jimmy Swaggart's "El Shaddai" reminded me that God remains unchanged across generations.Nigeria's rich contribution to worship music has profoundly influenced my spiritual expression. From Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's thanksgiving anthems to vibrant Pidgin worship declaring "Na Hemo" (It is Him who makes life better), these cultural expressions transform everyday challenges into opportunities for divine encounter. The "Miracle of Damman" football story perfectly illustrates how a simple song declaration—"He's a miracle-working God"—literally changed circumstances as Nigeria overcame a four-goal deficit against Russia.These musical archives have become my secret weapon before recording podcast episodes, positioning my heart and mind for inspiration. For millennials and Gen Z listeners especially, these archives hold wisdom and power that transcends generations. As we celebrate four years of The Word Cafe, I'm grateful for this space where we lean on one another's experiences to forge positive paths forward.

Genesis 17:1-4 NKJV

Welcome to our daily Bitachon Haggadah series. We're now in the piece of בָּרוּךְ שׁוֹמֵר הַבְטָחָתוֹ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, בָּרוּךְ הוּא. Baruch Shomer Havtachato L'Yisrael Baruch Hu . Blessed is He who keeps His promises to Israel, Blessed is He This a difficult thing to understand, because of course Hashem is going to fulfill his promises! The Tashbetz tells us we have to thank Hashem who is Mavtiach Ve'oseh . We have to recognize He guarantees and He fulfills his guarantee. He guaranteed Avraham Avinu Ve'ezcha L'goy Gadol and He fulfilled it. And this is an important concept that we see throughout. In Shemot Perek ו Pasuk ג Hashem speaks to Moshe and says, " בְּאֵ֣ל שַׁדָּ֑י וּשְׁמִ֣י יְהֹוָ֔ה לֹ֥א נוֹדַ֖עְתִּי לָהֶֽם׃ I appeared to the Avot and I used the name El Shaddai says Rashi, I made a lot of promises but וּשְׁמִ֣י יְהֹוָ֔ה לֹ֥א נוֹדַ֖עְתִּי לָהֶֽם׃ I didn't make known to them My name of Hashem. What does that mean? Lo Nikati Lahem . I wasn't recognized by them B' Midat Amitit Sheli . In the trait of truth (which is expressed in the name of ה י-ה-ו- ) He says that name means " I am loyal and trustworthy to bring to truth," which means to bring to actuality , what I say. But the Avot didn't se e it. 'I guaranteed them and I didn't fulfill it yet.' Then n Perek ו Pasuk ו the Pasuk says אֱמֹ֥ר לִבְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֮ אֲנִ֣י יְהֹוָה ֒ Tell the Jewish people Ani Hashem . I am Hashem . What does that mean? Ha Ne'eman B'havtachati / I am loyal with My guarantee and I'll take them out as I guaranteed . The word בטחון Bitachon has same root as להבטח Lahavtiach . God guarantees and we rely on that guarantee because God is reliable . That's what Ne'eman means .. He's reliable . That's part of the lesson here. Of course, we know that God is going to keep His word, but we want to show you throughout history that God guarantees, and sometimes it takes hundreds or thousands of years until the guarantee comes true. But as we said, Bitachon is being Batuach - feeling guaranteed . I can take it to the bank. In modern Hebrew, insurance is called Bituach . You're guaranteed. If your car has Bituach , you don't worry about the wreckage because it will be paid for. If you have health insurance (and with a good health insurance, they even cover out-of-pocket expenses) you're not worried about the financial impact of your health care. You have everything covered. Life is about I have Bituach . I have a guarantee, I have insurance from God. And God told me I'm going to take care of you. This shows up throughout the Chumash, to tell us this historical lesson. In Bereshit Perek ד Pasuk יט , when it talks about the story of Lemech and his two wives and how Kayin gets killed after seven generations. Rasji says it's V' L'amdeinu to teach us Shekiyei Ma Kadosh Baruch Hu Haftachato that God fulfilled his guarantee that after seven generations Kayin would be killed, and he was. In Bereshit, Perek 9 Pasuk 26 it says בָּר֥וּךְ יְהֹוָ֖ה אֱלֹ֣הֵי שֵׁ֑ם / Blessed is Hashem the God of Shem. What is the blessing? Rashi says, Sh'atid L'shmo Havtachato . He's going to fulfill His guarantee. L'zarot to his children. L'hateit Lahem Et Eretz K'naan. To give them the land of Canaan. This is part of the lesson of the night. God promises and He will fulfill . It might take time. Bereshit Perek 12 Pasuk 2 . Where it says God tells Avraham וְאֶֽעֶשְׂךָ֙ לְג֣וֹי גָּד֔וֹל וַאֲבָ֣רֶכְךָ֔ וַאֲגַדְּלָ֖ה שְׁמֶ֑ךָ וֶהְיֵ֖ה בְּרָכָֽה׃ I will make you a great nation and I will bless you I will make your name great and you shall be a blessing This is exactly the promise that that the Tashbetz said He fulfilled. And why was this promised? Because traveling causes three things to be limited: Procreation, money, and fame. So God promised Avraham, that he was going to have children, money, and fame, even though he was going on the road. And Avraham was so taken with that guarantee that in Perek יד Pasuk כג when he defeated Sedom , he said I'm not taking anything from you. וְלֹ֣א תֹאמַ֔ר אֲנִ֖י הֶעֱשַׁ֥רְתִּי אֶת־אַבְרָֽם׃ / Don't say that you made Avraham Avinu wealthy. God guaranteed my wealth. As it says, וַאֲבָ֣רֶכְךָ֔ He's going to bless me with wealth. I don't want to take money from someone that's going to act like he did it. I'll pass on your money because I know I'm going to get it in a way that I don't have to have someone that's going to take credit. On the Brit Ben HaBetarim ( Bereshit 15,10) Rashi asks What is the purpose of this deal ? He made a deal with him to keep His promise His his guarantee, to give him the land. In Bereshit 21, 7 where it says מִ֤י מִלֵּל֙ לְאַבְרָהָ֔ם Who is it that spoke about this to Avraham ? Rashi says this is a term of praise . What's the praise? Who is great like Hashem, that He kept His guarantee to Avraham, that you're going to have children. It's going to take time. You'll be 100 years old, but you're going to have children. In Vayikra Perek 19, pasuk 25 After it talks about Matanot L'aniyim , giving the food to the poor, it says, Ani Hashem / I am Hashem. Give to the poor, Ani Hashem. Rashi says this Ani Hashem means I'm guaranteeing you. I'm loyal. I'll fulfill it. Rashi says, in the name of Rabbi Akiva , that this is talking to the Yetzer Hara. Someone might say, I'm working so hard. What's in it for me? Why am I giving all this money away? And Hashem says, I guarantee it. I'm loyal. I keep My promises. This is something we have to constantly reiterate and strengthen in ourselves. When Hashem gives a Havtachah, it comes true. In Devarim 31,21 Where it says, כִּ֛י לֹ֥א תִשָּׁכַ֖ח מִפִּ֣י זַרְע֑וֹ / Torah will not be forgotten from the seed of the Jewish people, Rashi says, This is a promise. The Torah will never totally be forgotten from the Jewish people. And we see it live today. And now, being that it's Erev Pesach , this is our final push for Lev Chana/Lev Zechariah. Hashem tells us before the holidays, If you take care of mine, I'll take care of yours. That's a guarantee from God. If You make my children happy. I'll make your children happy. You still have a chance. The easiest thing is just Zelle it to, Rabbisutton@gmail.com and give some money towards clothing for needy families for the holidays. Hashem guarantees and He comes through.

What does Yahweh Yireh mean? What does Yahweh Ropheka or Yahweh Rophe mean? Rabbi Schneider shares that El Shaddai, God Almighty, was the name known prior to revealing His covenant name, Yahweh. Yahweh's name is used over 7,000 times in the Old Testament. In Hebrew, there are no vowels. Learn how the scribes hid the name of God to prevent gentiles from using God's name in blasphemous ways. In the ancient Hebrew language, there was no "J" sound. As language changes forms, we see how the accent markings and the new sounds caused the gentile church to mispronounce the personal name of God. Yahweh Yireh (God Will Provide) is a combination that God does with His name to show you what He will do. Know this so that you will learn to trust Yahweh Yireh. Father, thank You, that You are Yahweh Yireh and that You will provide.   Visit our website at DiscoveringTheJewishJesus.com

  «Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito…» (Juan 3:16) Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que dio, y dio… y dio. Ése es el mensaje que la Biblia nos comparte de principio a fin. Parece algo muy simple; sin embargo, en realidad, pocos lo entienden. Podemos entender la idea de un Dios poderoso. Podemos entender la idea de un Dios que desea que le sirvan. Pero, ¿comprender a un Dios Todopoderoso que nos ama tanto que desea dar por sobre todas las cosas? Es difícil de comprender. Por miles de años, Dios ha estado obrando para derramar la revelación de Su amor en los corazones de los hombres. Ha hecho promesas amorosas de bendición y protección. Pero siempre ha enfrentado el mismo obstáculo: seres humanos que no pueden aceptar esas promesas como ciertas. La historia de Abram es un ejemplo perfecto. Abram no estaba acostumbrado al concepto de un Dios dadivoso. Después de todo, él había sido adorador de la luna, y la luna nunca había hecho nada por él. Entonces, conoció a El Shaddai: el que es mayor que todos, el Dios omnipotente. Lo primero que El Shaddai quería hacer era darle bendiciones. Las promesas de Dios asombraron tanto a Abram, que no podía creerlas. Abram le preguntó: «Señor, ¿y cómo sabré que realmente voy a recibir estas cosas?» (Lee Génesis 15:8). ¿Sabes cómo le respondió Dios? Estableciendo un pacto de sangre. Ese pacto resolvió para siempre cualquier pregunta que Abram pudiera tener acerca del amor y la fidelidad de Dios. Al derramarse la sangre, Abram supo que Dios hablaba en serio. Dios estableció el mismo pacto de sangre contigo: sacrificó a Su propio Hijo. El cuerpo quebrantado y la sangre derramada de Jesús son la prueba eterna del amor de Dios por ti. Por medio de la Comunión, Él nos insta a recordarlo una y otra vez, con el fin de que cuando nuestra fe en las promesas de Dios comience a flaquear, «tengamos un sólido consuelo» (Hebreos 6:18). Medita en el pacto que Dios hizo contigo para recibir una revelación refrescante de Su amor por ti. Toma el pan y la copa. Preséntate ante el Señor y recibe la Comunión. Medita en el cuerpo y la sangre de Jesús, los cuales te han hecho miembro de la familia del Dios todopoderoso gracias al pacto de sangre. Deja que te ayuden a despejar toda duda acerca del amor de Dios por ti. Jamás dudarás de Sus promesas una vez que hayas creído en Su amor.

Adonai created a perfect Man. In harmony with creation as with Abba. We are the picture of God's masterful craftsmanship Man. Woman. God. Nature. An ecosystem crafted for Communion. Sadly, Man Fell. God's eyes have been bent on bringing man back ever since. Jehovah executed a reset in Jesus Christ. Elohim provided a path to renewal for all creation. This is true Restoration of El-Shaddai's "Original Design"

Summary: When Abram was 99 God appeared to him telling him I am “God Almighty” (Heb. El Shaddai). Shaddai comes from an old word meaning “mountain” and refers to His mighty power that is high and unshakable. And, if Abram wanted to know God's power, he had to walk, that is live, close to the Lord. So too the passage before us speaks the same unto us. How can we do it? Join us for Genesis 17 to for the “how to”.

You're listening to the Christian's Hour Welcome to the TCH broadcast! TCH is a ministry of Gospel Broadcasting Mission. Let's face it, there are a lot of out there ideas, about who God is and what God is like. This month, we're listening in to what God says about Himself, by the names God uses to describe the very essence of who He is. And, when it comes to God, His name means everything. But be forewarned: this may totally change what you think about God. And it will change your life. This month, our teacher Ben Cachiaras, lead minister with Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, Maryland, and their multiple campuses in the Baltimore area, is taking us on a journey to intimately learn who God is, by unpacking the names God uses to describe Himself. El Shaddai, The God almighty, the God who is all-sufficient. God wants us to come to Him not for what blessing, object or feeling He may provide in a given moment. God wants it to be enough that He is there, with us, that there is strength in His presence, that He is enough. So maybe you're asking; how exactly does this all play out in life? Well, here's Ben to paint the picture of a Mountainous God; who loves you To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29

Isolating Israel - Spiritual Spring CleaningWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%207%3A6&version=CJBDeuteronomy 7:6For you are a people set apart as holy for Adonai your G_d. Adonai your G_d has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his own unique treasure.Genesis 35:1 G_d said to Ya`akov, "Get up, go up to Beit-El and live there, and make there an altar to G_d, who appeared to you when you fled `Esav your brother." 2 Then Ya`akov said to his household and all the others with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have with you, purify yourselves, and put on fresh clothes. 3 We're going to move on and go up to Beit-El. There I will build an altar to G_d, who answered me when I was in such distress and stayed with me wherever I went." Genesis 35:4 They gave Ya`akov all the foreign gods in their possession and the earrings they were wearing, and Ya`akov buried them under the pistachio tree near Sh'khem. 5 While they were traveling, a terror from G_d fell upon the cities around them, so that none of them pursued the sons of Ya`akov.Genesis 35:6 Ya`akov and all the people with him arrived at Luz (that is, Beit-El) in the land of Kena`an. 7 He built there an altar and called the place El-Beit-El [G_d of Beit-El], because it was there that G_d was revealed to him, at the time when he was fleeing from his brother.Genesis 35:8 Then D'vorah, Rivkah's nurse, died. She was buried below Beit-El under the oak, which was given the name Alon-Bakhut [oak of weeping].Genesis 35:9 After Ya`akov arrived from Paddan-Aram, G_d appeared to him again and blessed him. 10 G_d said to him, "Your name is Ya`akov, but you will be called Ya`akov no longer; your name will be Isra'el." Thus he named him Isra'el. 11 G_d further said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation, indeed a group of nations, will come from you; kings will be descended from you. Genesis 35:12 Moreover, the land which I gave to Avraham and Yitz'chak I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you." 13 Then G_d went up from him there where he had spoken with him. Genesis 35:14 Ya`akov set up a standing-stone in the place where he had spoken with him, a stone pillar. Then he poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it. 15 Ya`akov called the place where G_d spoke with him Beit-El.Genesis 35:16 Then they traveled on from Beit-El, and while there was still some distance to go before arriving in Efrat, Rachel went into labor, and she had great difficulty with it. 17 While she was undergoing this hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Don't worry, this is also a son for you." 18 But she died in childbirth. As she was dying she named her son Ben-Oni [son of my grief], but his father called him Binyamin [son of the right hand, son of the south]. 19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Efrat (that is, Beit-Lechem). 20 Ya`akov set up a standing-stone on her grave; it is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.Genesis 35:21 Isra'el continued his travels and pitched his tent on the other side of Migdal-`Eder. 22 It was while Isra'el was living in that land that Re'uven went and slept with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Isra'el heard about it. Ya`akov had twelve sons. 23 The sons of Le'ah were Re'uven Ya`akov's firstborn, Shim`on, Levi, Y'hudah, Yissakhar and Z'vulun. 24 The sons of Rachel were Yosef and Binyamin. 25 The sons of Bilhah Rachel's slave-girl were Dan and Naftali. 26 And the sons of Zilpah Le'ah's slave-girl were Gad and Asher. These were Ya`akov's sons, born to him in Paddan-Aram.Genesis 35:27 Ya`akov came home to his father Yitz'chak at Mamre, near Kiryat-Arba (also known as Hevron), where Avraham and Yitz'chak had lived as foreigners. 28 Yitz'chak lived to be 180 years old. 29 Then he breathed his last, died and was gathered to his people, an old man full of years; and his sons `Esav and Ya`akov buried him.DOGE and DOSE?Department of Spiritual Efficacy!https://unsplash.com/@stigson - Jordan Valleyhttps://unsplash.com/@robertina - Anointing oilhttps://unsplash.com/@fadid000 - Heart

TO KNOW ABOUT GOD BY HIS NAME (EPHESIANS 4:6) Today, I want to spend the entire message talking about God.  I just happen to believe that God is the biggest subject that we can talk about, at any time, as we study the Word of God.  And the amazing thing to consider is that there is so much in the Bible about God, that to talk about God for 45 minutes today would be like trying to bail out an ocean with a teacup.  We will only scratch the surface.   But there are some things that we can know about God, and we can know God without knowing everything about God.  You also don't have to know all that the Heavenly Father does when He administrates the universe in order to know God. And so, we can find out some things about God by objective observation, but we can really only know the heart of God, the goodness of God, by revelation. And how do we know the goodness of God? And what kind of a revelation has God given of Himself? Certainly, the Bible is the most complete way that God has revealed Himself to us.  But, did you know that one of the greatest revelations that God has given of Himself are the names of God. The Bible says, in (Psalm 9:10) “And they that know thy name shall put their trust in thee …”  This tells us that to know the names of God is a great thing.  So, today, I'm going to give you the names of God. Now, not all of the names of God, but I have selected some of them.   Click on the play button to hear a message on how God reveals Himself to us by His names. He is the God of strength, “Elohim.” He is the God of sovereignty, “Jehovah.” He is the God of superiority, “Adonai.” He is the God of sufficiency, “El Shaddai.” He is the God of supremacy, “El Elyon.” He is the God of stability, “El Olam.” He is the God of sympathy, “El Roi.” All of these names are wrapped up in one sweet name, Jesus. There is one God and Father who is above all—that is the greatness of God. And through all—that is the goodness of God. And in us all—that is the grace of God. And it is all summed up in one person—and that's Jesus. Now, you'll never know the Father, until you receive the Son.  This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.

Today we are continuing our study concerning some of the names of God from the Old Testament. Today we will consider God as El Shaddai, God Almighty.

Have you noticed the abundance of paganism in Christianity? Jesus probably has, and probably isn't super thrilled about it. Whether we're talking about the many ways in which Christianity borrowed from pagan traditions to ease conversion, countless mistranslations in the Bible (some even intentional), and scribes touching up stories here and there, there is very little about Christianity that is widely agreed upon or not controversial. In today's episode of Free Talk Cast, Aria has a chat with Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries about Mark's take on Christianity. The most important thing to take away is that the Creator laughs. It's heartwrenching observing how many people seem to believe in a humorless god. Mark believes that the Creator laughs. Aria once remarked that one of her biggest problems with Christianity is that there seems to be no joy or laughter in the Bible: "You watch a rabbit eat a carrot and tell me that God doesn't laugh."

Exodus 5 tells of Moses and Aaron standing before Pharaoh and issuing their demand and ultimatum. Pharaoh arrogantly responds, “Who is Yahweh?” Proud man you will learn when He abases you. He tells his slaves – no more straw for bricks – it will become worse for Israel should you try to resist me. Back to rigorous work you idle slaves, Pharaoh says. The foremen of the Israelites were beaten when they failed to reach their tally of bricks. The delegates of the Israelites sent spokesmen to Pharaoh, who told them to stop complaining and to work harder. When these spokesmen later met Moses and Aaron, they told God's envoys to leave as attempts at intervention had only increased their sufferings. Somewhat despondently Moses and Aaron pray for the people. May we likewise learn trust and perseverance when we are under trial.In chapter 6 God's response is, “I am Yahweh” and was known to the patriarchal fathers as“El Shaddai” – the strength of the nourishers; and, the strength of the destroyers (behold the goodness and the severity of the LORD,Romans 11 verses 22 to 23). But, God says, rhetorically “Did not they know my name, Yahweh?” Surely they did as Moses indicated (Genesis 4 verses 1, 25-26; and frequently the patriarchs “call upon Yahweh”. The future intent contained in the name is explained in verses 6-8, which uses Ehyeh the first person, future tense of Yahweh. The known name was to be understood in the context of Yahweh's personal covenant with His people, Israel. Moses seems to show discouragement at this time and a reluctance to take up the contest with Pharaoh. The finish of the chapter establishes the lineage of Yahweh's envoys, Moses and Aaron. Psalm 58 is yet another Michtam, which means “an engraving” (that is letters carved deep because of their important message. The centre margin in many Bibles tells us that the Psalm carries a superscription from Psalm 59. belonging actually to Psalm 58 as a subscript “Al-taschith”. This was a plea for God to “destroy not” – that is, to spare David. The psalmist calls upon his Sovereign to deliver him from his enemies, that continued to prowl like vicious dogs intent on his being savaged. These enemies were, he says, incapable of speaking, or doing, truly. They were venomous snakes. God would cause them to dissolve in their slime, like a snail; and like a stillborn child to not coming to the birth. When God avenges the righteous and repays the wicked there will be rejoicing and praise for the Almighty's vindication of His people.The 59th Psalm is yet another Michtam from David. It was written to celebrate deliverance from Saul, who had watched David's house, and had commanded his servants to slay David as soon as they could seize him. In verses 1-2 David's Sovereign's protection is called upon; he asks deliverance from the bloodthirsty Saul. David speaks of his innocence despite his persecution. Yahweh roused Himself to stand by the righteous; and save them in their distress. Like, in Psalm 2, the psalmist sees the LORD laughing derisively at the futility of those opposing His faithful anointed. The evil will be dealt with by the Omnipotent Creator. God's strength and steadfast love will be the empowering force for the faithful; for whom He is their fortress. In the 10th chapter of Romans Paul tells us what faith is and how it originates and affects the children of the Almighty. Sadly natural Israel had failed to understand what God's righteousness was and had sought, impossibly to establish their own based on a merit based system of law keeping. In verses 5-13 the argument is developed from the time of Moses, and based on the words of Deuteronomy 30 that salvation is beyond human effort, but rather dependent upon God's firstly raising up (or producing a sinless saviour) and consequently, being able to resurrect him from the dead. Our part is to accept and believe it. The chapter concludes with the fact that this is incredibly good news for us, who would be totally lost without this salvation. Faith, he concludes is based on hearing the Word of God.Chapter 11 of Romans is about national Israel, God's Chosen People, and the Gospel. Some points made include the following:- 1) the Lord God of Israel has never abandoned His people; 2) God has always raised up a remnant among them, to be saved by grace; 3) it has always been been Yahweh's purpose to save the faithful from all nations.

The great Apostle Paul marvels at the wisdom and foresight of the Almighty. Nothing has happened in His plan to save faithful Jews and Gentiles that the Father had not foreseen. We look forward to the day when the Deliverer will come to Zion and turn away ungodliness from Jacob, and so save Israel, a nation far degraded from its calling as illustrated in the current Jeremiah readings. Read verses 33-36 aloud and praise our Omnipotent Sovereign for His love and merciful kindness.

The second Torah portion reading from the Book of Exodus this week is in some respects THE beginning of the Exodus itself, in that it describes the first set(s) of the 'Ten Plagues of Egypt." 'Vaera' (Exodus 6:4 through chapter 9), beings, however, with an explanation of His Name, YHVH. "And I appeared," ('vaera') He says, to Abraham, and to Yitzak, and to Yakov, "as El Shaddai, but by My Name YHVH I did not," at not in the way that He is about to, "make Myself known to them. And that is the essence of what He is about to do! The Erev Shabbat reading, as usual, covers the story itself, but also starts to lay out the incredible significance of just what that means: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SSM-1-24-25-Vaera-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 The Sabbath Day midrash takes a deeper look at a number of key elements that are laid out in this parsha, from the emphasis on His Name YHVH, and that He would then SHOW what that means, so that all of us would know, to the patterns and projections associated with the plagues themselves. They were not only all judgments against various fake Egyptian 'gods,' but also, Mark contends, a set of 'open brackets,' or one half of a set of bookends, which we will eventually see closed by the prophesied second, or "Greater Exodus." And there are certainly "candidates" for those in play today.

Getting To Know God | Week 1 | Ken Miller--This will be the introductory lesson to the series and is intended to set up the context for all the names of God we will be studying. In this lesson, we will look at three primary names for God: Elohim, El Elyon, and El Shaddai. --Notes

Pastor Tony's message emphasizes the profound revelation of God's character and presence through Jesus Christ, bridging the Old Testament and New Testament. The names of God—El Shaddai ("God Almighty") and Jehovah Shalom ("The Lord Our Peace")—find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, as prophesied in Isaiah 9:6, where He is called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Through the incarnation, God reveals Himself as Emmanuel ("God with us"), fulfilling the prophecy of a Savior who brings peace and salvation. Jesus, whose name means "The Lord Saves," embodies the eternal Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, before whom every knee will bow and every tongue confess His Lordship. This message calls believers to recognize and worship Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises and the ultimate source of peace and salvation.

Six-time Grammy winner, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer, and Kennedy Center honoree Amy Grant joins us to chat about the pursuit of honesty in songwriting, the stories behind some of her songs, and her catalog of modern day Christmas classics. PART ONEPaul and Scott chat about the idea of a "definitive" version of a Christmas song, discuss their favorites, debate about Christmas songs they love and hate, and delve into Scott's elementary school crush on Amy Grant. PART TWOOur in-depth interview with Amy GrantABOUT AMY GRANTPerhaps the most influential pioneer of the Contemporary Christian Music genre, Amy Grant released her first album while still in high school. Her fourth album, 1982's Age to Age, found unprecedented success with hit singles such as “Sing Your Praise to the Lord” and “El Shaddai.” Age to Age topped the Christian album chart for 85 weeks, earned Amy her first Grammy award, and became the first Christian album to be certified Platinum by the RIAA. Her 1984 album Straight Ahead spawned hits with Amy's original compositions “Thy Word” and “Angels,” and became the first Christian album to land on the Billboard 200. By the mid-1980s, she further crossed over to mainstream success when “Find a Way,” which she wrote with Michael W. Smith, hit the Top 40 on Billboard's pop chart. The following year, Amy reached the top of the pop chart with “The Next Time I Fall,” a duet with Peter Cetera. Her 1991 album Heart in Motion sold 5 million copies and spawned four Top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including the self-penned hits “Baby Baby” and “Every Heartbeat.” That same year, she enjoyed another Top 10 pop hit as a songwriter with Michael W. Smith's “Place in This World.” Amy continued to find mainstream success in the mid-1990s with singles such as “House of Love,” a duet with her now-husband Vince Gill, as well as the songs “Lucky One” and “Takes a Little Time,” which she wrote with Keith Thomas and Wayne Kirkpatrick, respectively. Starting with 1983's A Christmas Album, holiday music has been an important part of Amy Grant's artistry. She has since released the albums Home for Christmas, which was certified three-times Platinum; A Christmas to Remember; Tennessee Christmas; and The Animals' Christmas, a collaborative album with Art Garfunkel featuring songs by Jimmy Webb that explore the nativity story from the perspective of the animals. Amy's original songs “Tennessee Christmas” and “Breath of Heaven” have become modern day holiday standards. Her Christmas concerts, often featuring husband Vince Gill and longtime collaborator Michael W. Smith, have become a holiday tradition. To date, Amy has released twenty studio albums and has sold over 30 million records worldwide. Seventeen of her albums have reached #1 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart, more than any other artist in history. She has won 6 Grammy awards, 26 Dove awards, and has been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Amy has received honorary doctorates from two universities, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2021. She was a recipient of the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievement in 2022.
