Podcasts about El Shaddai

Encore: a repeated performance.As we approach the end of 2025, we decided to do an encore of eight episodes from the past six years. With a new intro for each episode recorded by Eric Ludy and Nathan Johnson, we hope these encores will stir your soul toward Jesus and introduce you to previous series that you can explore. El Shaddai – God Almighty (Nathan Johnson)Originally recorded in 2023 as a part of his series Behold Our God … There is a twofold profundity with God's name El Shaddai (God Almighty) – it points to His overpowering strength (like a mountain) and His gentle, nourishing supply (like a mother's breast). In this message, Nathan examines the name El Shaddai, how it unveils Christ as the all-sufficient one, and four ways we can practically live in light of Jesus being El Shaddai in our lives.Explore and watch/listen to the series Behold Our GodGet the audiobook version of this series with the notes ------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Eric, Nathan, Leslie, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/

Who/what is God? I have had people say to me, I believe in God’s existance but I don’t need to study the Bible to know Him! But belief in His existence is not enough! Even satan and his demons believe in God’s existence! It is only through the Bible we can study God and His relationship with the universe. All we can know about God is not contained in the Bible, but the Bible contains all we can know about God during our earthly life! That is because God is infinite and beyond our limitations of space and time! Yet the God we as Christian disciples follow and worship, is knowable through the Bible. This means that God is a personal God and not a remote being. That is a key to studying Him! He wants to be known and has given us the Bible in order for us to do so. How can we know about God? In the Bible, what we know of God are the fundamental qualities or powers of His being. The Bible elucidates statements about God, by God, through which we try and understand God, using our finite minds. The Bible reveals God to us! God is spirit, yet a personal and infinite being (John 4:24). He is one in substance, nature and being and incapable of division (Deuteronomy 6v4). Yet He is three coequal people, or the Trinity! It is through the Bible we discover what pleases, angers, offends, or gives joy Him! The words revealed in the Bible describe His attributes! The fact we are able to take hold and understand this about an infinite God is evidence that God desires to be known by humans! So what are some of the attributes of God? There are two different kinds of attributes: natural and moral. 1. Natural Attributes a. Transcendent - God's self-existence apart from and independent of creation. This reflects God’s majesty and greatness. Romans 11:33; 1Chronicles 29:11; 1Kings 8:27 b. Immanent/Omnipresent - God is wholly present everywhere. God fills the universe in all it's parts without division Psalm 139:7-12; Jerermiah 23:23-24 c. Omnipotent - God has power to do all things that are the object of power. With God all things are possible Luke 1:37. He is El Shaddai or God Almighty. Jerermiah 32:17-18 Nothing is too hard for you. d. Omniscient - God has perfect knowledge of all things - actual, past, present, future and possible. 1 John 3:20 God knows all things; Psalm 47:5 Infinite understanding. e. Infinite - God has no limits. He has an internal and a qualitative absence of limitation. Boundless activity - Romans 11:33; 1Timothy1:16; Psalm 147:5 f. Immutable - God is unchangeable. Malachi 3:6 - I AM God and I change not; Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. g. Eternal - God is without beginning or end. He is the alpha and omega. God is outside of time - time is in God, and He is free from the succession of time. God lives in the eternal present - past, present and future, are NOW for God - He is the I AM YAHWEH Exodus 3:14. From everlasting to everlasting you are God. 1 Timothy1:17; Psalm 102:7 h. Spirit God is a free personal Spirit · God is not material. He is invisible and indestructible. John 4:24; 1Timothy1:17; 1Timothy6:15-16 · God is Life Jn 14:6. Energy & activity! · God has Personality. Self-consciousness & communicative! 2. Moral Attributes a. Goodness - absolute perfection. Seeking creations' welfare. Love - God is love 1 John 4:8-10. God communicates and gives of Himself. Grace - God gives us what we do not deserve. God's riches at Christ’s expense Ephesians 2:7; The unmerited goodness of God John 1:16. Mercy - God does not give us what we deserve. The goodness of God to those in distress - tenderness & compassion (Ephesians 2:3-5) Long-suffering - God is slow to anger. God longs to forgive (Exodus 34:6-7) Truth - John 14:6 The revelation source and foundation of all truth is God/Jesus b. Holiness - moral excellence and perfection of God. Separation from sin. What God is!! Heb 7:26 "Be holy, for I am Holy". c. Righteousness - Holiness in action. God's actions conform to His Holiness. Justice deals with the ab­sence of righteousness. Sin must be dealt with – (Genesis 18:25 & Psalm 89:14) Why do we study this God? There are at least 4 reasons! a) Avoids confusion! As we study God, we come to know truths about Him and are able to discern what are true and false facts about Him! "Truth combats error" Satan distorts scripture to put people off the truth. b) Truth develops character 2 Peter 1:3-9 - The strongest Christian disciples are those with a good growing knowledge of biblical truth. Since study increases our knowledge of God, it increases the possibilities of love, growth and service of the Christian disciple. We study it to put it into practice! What we believe about God, affects our behaviour! James 1:22 says "We must be doers of the Word not just hearers of this is to be effective." c) We are commanded to grow in our knowledge of God - 2 Timothy 4:2-4 d) This God is to be worshipped and part of our service and submission to this God, is that worship is given to Him alone (Deuteronomy 5v6-9). As humans we are created in His image, and as Christian disciples we were bought at a price when Jesus died on the cross and we accepted Him as our Lord and saviour. He is due our worship and reverence! It is on worship that I hope to discuss next time! One of the best books regarding getting to know God is the appropriately titled “Knowing God” by JI Packer - it’s a thoroughly modern and readable classic! For more to think about, please do read for yourself 2 Peter 1:3-9. Ask yourself the following questions, writing them down if you can, and see how you respond or react to them. Then why not share your answers with your spouse or a close friend, so that you can pray over any issues together. Q1. From my knowledge of God, what do I find comforting? Q2. From my knowledge of God, what do I find disturbing? Q3. How has my knowledge of God grown and affected my behaviour since I became a Christian disciple?

Rediscovering the Lost Art of Walking with God | KIB 505 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description A heartfelt Veterans Day prayer, candid talk on current events, and a deeply practical call to walk with God continually—not just in set "prayer times." Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake unpack the Hebraic pattern of halikha (walking), Genesis 17's call to be tamiym (complete), the friendship of God that grows through constant conversation, and how everyday listening births real intercession that can change lives. In this episode (KIB 505): Veterans Day gratitude & prayer for healing, provision, and justice Discerning the times without fear—and praying for spiritual awakening Why "talking with God all day" transforms prayer closet power Abraham's journey (Gen 17) and the invitation to walk before God as El Shaddai supplies every need Acts 4 boldness: being recognized as those who have been with Jesus Isaiah 11's seven-fold Spirit and cultivating holy reverence Practical stories: technical problems solved through dialogue with God, unexpected intercessions, and the joy that returns to daily obedience Scripture references (ESV): Genesis 17:1, Matthew 6:7–8, Acts 4:13, Isaiah 11:1–3.

There are many people who would like to walk with God but are convinced that their weaknesses, fears and foolish mistakes make it impossible. They might say something like this: "I know God is powerful, but it isn't God I'm worried about; it's me. I don't seem to have what it takes to live a victorious life. I'm afraid I have already or will in the future mess up His plans for me. I make bad choices, I fear stepping out in faith, I'm weak in the face of temptation. Don't I have to perfectly obey God for Him to be in control of my life?" Mercifully, the answer is no. Abraham and Sarah are examples of God's ability to overrule disobedience, slow obedience and partial obedience. Poor choices delayed God's purpose and created hardships for Abraham and Sarah, but it didn't prevent Him from accomplishing His plan for their lives. The record of their lives ought to give us great hope, because it proves that what God requires of us is not impossibly out of reach because it relies on His power and faithfulness much more than it does ours.

In the second week of the new sermon series, "God Is," Pastor Marlon spoke on the topic that shows God as El Shaddai.

In this bonus episode we explore one of the powerful names of God, El Shaddai (God Almighty, The All Sufficient One).

Send us a messageIn Part 3 of “THE GLORIOUS NAMES OF GOD” we will move on with the Names of God and the Majesty and Power that they reveal in glorious revelation of the Great I Am – the One and Only True God of all Creation.So far, we have gleaned from His Names: “Abba, Jehovah, Jehovah Elohim, Adonai, El Elyon, El Roi, El Shaddai, and Jehovah Jireh. And today, we pick up with Jehovah Rapha. We will then, God willing, move on to Esh Okhlah, Ruach Ha'Emet, and Adonai M'kaddishkem.As we grow in the true knowledge of our Lord and Savior, we will gain fuller understanding of Who He is, and who we are now in Him, with renewed dedication as His ambassadors of Salvation's Truth, and fiercer contenders for the true Faith that alone guarantees Eternal Life.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

08/31/2025 Hallowed: The Power of God's NameBig Idea: God's name isn't just a label, it's a revelation of His character, power, and presence. God's name represents who He is.Why is God''s name such a big deal?1. God's name reveals His character. YAHWEH - self-existent, eternal, unchanging. (Isaiah 42:8)2. God's name represents His presence and power. EL SHADDAI - all sufficient one, powerful to bless and sustain. (Acts 4:12; Proverbs 18:12; Matt 18:20; Psalm 20:7; Rom 5:6-8)3. God's name guarantees His promise. (Joshua 21; 2 Cor 1:20a; Num 23:19; Deut 31:6)Three Questions to Consider:1. Do you know God's name, or just know about it? God wants to have a relationship with you.2. Where do you run for safety? We need to lay our circumstances at God's feet.3. Do you trust His name in your daily life?PRACTICAL CHALLENGE:Identify one specific area (work pressure, family struggle, personal fear, financial worry, etc.) where you will intentionally “run into His name” this week.Practice declaring His character out loud over it: “God, You are faithful, God, You are my protector, God, You are present with me.”

Transforming Your Marriage By Changing Your Thoughts :: [Ep. 282]In this week's episode, we are studying God's word to see how replacing negative thoughts about our husbands can profoundly impact our marriages and set relationships on new trajectories as we align our thinking with biblical truth.We will talk about the following:• Thoughts are like seeds in our minds—they can be harmful weeds that choke our marriage or seeds that bring joy and peace• Negative thoughts about our husbands invite those thoughts to gain mastery over our emotions and conversations• Our standards often stem from our upbringing, culture, friends, social media, and become expectations for our husbands• God reveals Himself as El Hane'emen (the faithful God) and El Shaddai (the all-sufficient God) when we feel our needs aren't met• Replacing critical thoughts requires surrendering our standards to God and developing a servant's heart toward our husband• When our husbands struggle with obedience to God, we can nourish them with grace and truth rather than judgmentWe hope that as you listen you are encouraged and helped! Support the showFor episode transcripts, click HERE.For more marriage encouragement, visit: www.VowsToKeep.com | V2K Blog | Marriage Counseling | Insta | FBApple Podcast listener?

Safe isn't a place—it's a Person. In Psalm 91, Pastor Josh shows how real safety is found in knowing the Almighty, not just knowing His name.From ancient towers of refuge to the cities of refuge, God has always provided a place where His people could run and be safe. Psalm 91 declares that those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty—but this promise isn't just about knowing the name of God, it's about knowing God Himself.In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the power of living in the presence of El Shaddai, our refuge and fortress. Just as God preserved Israel in the wilderness with a pillar of cloud by day, fire by night, manna from heaven, and water from the rock, He still covers and protects His people today.Discover how the name of Jesus still drives out darkness, and how the ultimate fulfillment of the cities of refuge is found in Christ—the One we run to when we need safety, forgiveness, and life.

Join me as singer/songwriter Michael Card and I meander through his career, dream about heaven and try to wrap our heads around the story of Jesus.

Exit stage right - The Chief End of ManWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.youtube.com/@_battle4freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes%2012%3A14&version=CJBEcclesiastes 12:14For God will bring to judgment everything we do, including every secret, whether good or bad.[Here is the final conclusion, now that you have heard everything: fear God, and keep his mitzvot; this is what being human is all about.]The Westminister Shorter Catechism asks the question, "What is the chief end of man?” Many of us know the answer. "Man's chief end is to glorify G_d, and to enjoy him forever.Genesis 49:1 Then Ya`akov called for his sons and said, "Gather yourselves together, and I will tell you what will happen to you in the acharit-hayamim. 2 Assemble yourselves and listen, sons of Ya`akov; pay attention to Isra'el your father.Genesis 49:3 "Re'uven, you are my firstborn, my strength, the firstfruits of my manhood. 4 Though superior in vigor and power you are unstable as water, so your superiority will end, because you climbed into your father's bed and defiled it — he climbed onto my concubine's couch!Genesis 49:5 "Shim`on and Levi are brothers, related by weapons of violence. 6 Let me not enter their council, let my honor not be connected with their people; for in their anger they killed men, and at their whim they maimed cattle. 7 Cursed be their anger, for it has been fierce; their fury, for it has been cruel. I will divide them in Ya`akov and scatter them in Isra'el.Genesis 49:8 "Y'hudah, your brothers will acknowledge you, your hand will be on the neck of your enemies, your father's sons will bow down before you. 9 Y'hudah is a lion's cub; my son, you stand over the prey. He crouches down and stretches like a lion; like a lioness, who dares to provoke him? 10 The scepter will not pass from Y'hudah, nor the ruler's staff from between his legs, until he comes to whom [obedience] belongs; and it is he whom the peoples will obey. 11 Tying his donkey to the vine, his donkey's colt to the choice grapevine, he washes his clothes in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes. 12 His eyes will be darker than wine, his teeth whiter than milk.Genesis 49:13 "Z'vulun will live at the seashore, with ships anchoring along his coast and his border at Tzidon.Genesis 49:14 "Yissakhar is a strong donkey lying down in the sheep sheds. 15 On seeing how good is settled life and how pleasant the country,he will bend his back to the burden, and submit to forced labor.Genesis 49:16 "Dan will judge his people as one of the tribes of Isra'el. 17 Dan will be a viper on the road, a horned snake in the paththat bites the horse's heels so its rider falls off backward. 18 I wait for your deliverance, Adonai.Genesis 49:19 "Gad [troop]— a troop will troop on him, but he will troop on their heel. 20 "Asher's food is rich — he will provide food fit for a king. 21 "Naftali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.Genesis 49:22 "Yosef is a fruitful plant, a fruitful plant by a spring, with branches climbing over the wall. 23 The archers attacked him fiercely, shooting at him and pressing him hard; 24 but his bow remained taut; and his arms were made nimble by the hands of the Mighty One of Ya`akov, from there, from the Shepherd, the Stone of Isra'el, 25 by the G_d of your father, who will help you, by El Shaddai, who will bless you with blessings from heaven above, blessings from the deep, lying below, blessings from the breasts and the womb. 26 The blessings of your father are more powerful than the blessings of my parents, extending to the farthest of the everlasting hills; they will be on the head of Yosef, on the brow of the prince among his brothers. Genesis 49:27 "Binyamin is a ravenous wolf, in the morning devouring the prey, in the evening still dividing the spoil.”Genesis 49:28 All these are the twelve tribes of Isra'el, and this is how their father spoke to them and blessed them, giving each his own individual blessing. 29 Then he charged them as follows: "I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my ancestors in the cave that is in the field of `Efron the Hitti, 30 the cave in the field of Makhpelah, by Mamre, in the land of Kena`an, which Avraham bought together with the field from `Efron the Hitti as a burial-place belonging to him — 31 there they buried Avraham and his wife Sarah, there they buried Yitz'chak and his wife Rivkah, and there I buried Le'ah — 32 the field and the cave in it, which was purchased from the sons of Het.”Genesis 49:33 When Ya`akov had finished charging his sons, he drew his legs up into the bed, breathed his last and was gathered to his people.Credit to:https://unsplash.com/photos/an-empty-road-in-the-middle-of-a-wooded-area--YV0Zkh2jRMhttps://unsplash.com/photos/a-yellow-road-sign-sitting-on-top-of-a-sandy-beach-__HDU6msgQ4https://unsplash.com/photos/black-flat-screen-computer-monitor-uGqrMOHlkl0https://unsplash.com/photos/white-printer-paper-with-black-text-1UDjq8s8cy0https://unsplash.com/photos/red-theater-curtain-WW1jsInXgwM

The desire of all our soul is to remember you and your name.Genesis 48:1 Awhile later someone told Yosef that his father was ill. He took with him his two sons, M'nasheh and Efrayim. 2 Ya`akov was told, "Here comes your son Yosef." Isra'el gathered his strength and sat up in bed. 3 Ya`akov said to Yosef, "El Shaddai appeared to me at Luz in the land of Kena`an and blessed me, 4 saying to me, `I will make you fruitful and numerous. I will make of you a group of peoples; and I will give this land to your descendants to possess forever.' 5 Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Efrayim and M'nasheh will be as much mine as Re'uven and Shim`on are. 6 The children born to you after them will be yours, but for purposes of inheritance they are to be counted with their older brothers.Genesis 48:7 "Now as for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died suddenly, as we were traveling through the land of Kena`an, while we were still some distance from Efrat; so I buried her there on the way to Efrat (also known as Beit-Lechem)."Genesis 48:8 Then Isra'el noticed Yosef's sons and asked, "Whose are these?" 9 Yosef answered his father, "They are my sons, whom G_d has given me here." Ya`akov replied, "I want you to bring them here to me, so that I can bless them." (ii) 10 Now Isra'el's eyes were dim with age, so that he could not see. Yosef brought his sons near to him, and he kissed them and embraced them. 11 Isra'el said to Yosef, "I never expected to see even you again, but G_d has allowed me to see your children too!" 12 Yosef brought them out from between his legs and prostrated himself on the ground. 13 Then Yosef took them both, Efrayim in his right hand toward Isra'el's left hand and M'nasheh in his left hand toward Isra'el's right hand, and brought them near to him. 14 But Isra'el put out his right hand and laid it on the head of the younger one, Efrayim, and put his left hand on the head of M'nasheh — he intentionally crossed his hands, even though M'nasheh was the firstborn. 15 Then he blessed Yosef: "The G_d in whose presence my fathers Avraham and Yitz'chak lived, the G_d who has been my own shepherd all my life long to this day, 16 the angel who has rescued me from all harm, bless these boys. May they remember who I am and what I stand for, and likewise my fathers Avraham and Yitz'chak, who they were and what they stood for. And may they grow into teeming multitudes on the earth."Genesis 48:17 When Yosef saw that his father was laying his right hand on Efrayim's head, it displeased him, and he lifted up his father's hand to remove it from Efrayim's head and place it instead on M'nasheh's head. 18 Yosef said to his father, "Don't do it that way, my father; for this one is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head." 19 But his father refused and said, "I know that, my son, I know it. He too will become a people, and he too will be great; nevertheless his younger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will grow into many nations." 20 Then he added this blessing on them that day: "Isra'el will speak of you in their own blessings by saying, `May G_d make you like Efrayim and M'nasheh.'" Thus he put Efrayim ahead of M'nasheh.Genesis 48:21 Isra'el then said to Yosef, "You see that I am dying, but G_d will be with you and will bring you back to the land of your ancestors. 22 Moreover, I am giving to you a sh'khem [shoulder, ridge, share, city of Sh'khem] more than to your brothers; I captured it from the Emori with my sword and bow."

We've all been taught that we should trust God, but in practical, day-to-day terms, what does trusting God look like?

Many people feel like they're just coping with life, but God has plans for each of us to be fruitful for His Kingdom.

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.
