The Names Of God | Message 2: Jehovah Jireh, Tsuri, & Nissi | Pastor Chad Dingess | 06/29/2025 by Bethesda Church

"Hey sis, if you've been saying, ‘I don't have enough'—let me remind you: God is enough. You're not running out, you're being set up for overflow. Stop speaking lack and start declaring abundance. He's still Jehovah Jireh—your Provider. If this blessed you, share it with another mama who needs to hear it. Follow for more encouragement and remember—you are not lacking, you are fully supplied in Him.

Join Lisa and Laura for the final episode in 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 seventh name, Jehovah Jireh—my provider. The word for provide, “jireh," in the Old Testament, means to see. When God sees, He foresees. Our all-knowing, ever-present, eternal Father knows the end from the beginning and so in His omniscience, He provides. But what about when God asks us to do things that don't make sense? When what is happening looks like the opposite of His provision—a contradiction to what He promised? This is what today's episode is about, and you do not want to miss it. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Genesis 22:1–19 Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Hebrews 11:19: He considered that God was able to raise men even from the dead. 2 Chronicles 3:1: Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. Hebrews 10:4–5: For since it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins … but a body you have prepared for me. Genesis 22:3: So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; and he cut the wood for the place of which God had told him. Genesis 39:23: The Lord was with him and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper. Hebrews 11:8–22 John 16:33: I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Are you willing to let go? Are you willing to trust God completely, even with your Isaac? What is your Isaac? Bonus question: What can you do to avoid defining God based only on His gifts to you? Show mentions.

Sunday June 15, 2025 – By Bob Cote Genesis 22:1-14

GOD "IS" OUR HEAVENLY FATHER! He is the beginning and the ending! He is Jehovah Jireh - our provider! He is Jehovah Rapha - God our Healer! He is Jehovah Shalom - God our Peace! He is El Elyon - God Most High! He is El Roi - God who sees! He is El Shaddai - God Almighty! He is Elohim - Our God! He is Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent! He cares for us, loves us, redirects, us, blesses us, and chastens us! Thank you Father for all things and everything that you have done, is doing, and will do in my life! I can't ever repay you, but I can continuously praise you, obey you, seek you, and spend time with you to show my gratefulness! Thank you for being a GREAT GOD and a GREAT FATHER! Because of your grace and mercy, I shall lack nothing and I don't ever have to work about being forsaken!

Trevor casts an eye to troubles looming over the global financial system, and demonstrates through scripture and personal testimony that no matter how dire society may become, God has promised to be our provider - Jehovah Jireh.

In this message, Pastor Mark Butler teaches on the redemptive nature of divine healing and the covenant God has made with His people. By walking through Galatians 3, Deuteronomy 28, and many other scriptures, he explains how sickness entered the world through sin, but healing was purchased through Christ. Pastor Mark highlights that believers have been redeemed from the curse of the law—including poverty, sickness, and spiritual death—and can stand on God's Word with confidence. The message unpacks the names of God—Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, and more—to show how each one reveals His desire to provide, heal, guide, and be present. Pastor Mark encourages believers to receive the Word as spiritual medicine, resist symptoms with faith, and confess the promises of healing daily. With scripture declarations and practical application, this message reminds us that healing belongs to the children of God—not as a future hope, but as a present, covenant right.

Leslie continues the He Is series with an encouraging reminder that God is our Provider. Whether we have financial need, or need in any other area of our lives, God has promised to provide an abundance for every good work that He has called us to. If you have struggled with fear over not having your needs met, this episode will help you grasp this amazing aspect of who our God is. He is Jehovah Jireh - and "on the mountain of the Lord it will be provided!"For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

Names reveal who someone is and what they are like. In this series, we're discovering how God reveals His character and nature through His names revealed in scripture.   This week, Pastor Chris begins with Jehovah Jireh—“The Lord Will Provide”—and how God's provision often follows our obedience.

JEHOVAH JIREH | PROPHET SHEPHERD BUSHIRI

Message from Kyle Burkholder on May 25, 2025

Today we are reminded that God sees you and provides for you. He is El Roi, the God who sees, and Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. These names of God are beautifully illustrated in the tale of two step-brothers. Both sons of Abraham, but dramatically different stories. Whether you feel forgotten like Hagar or tested like Abraham, God knows your story. He sees your pain, your questions, your hopes, and He will meet you right there. He sees you, and He will see to your provisions.

Jehovah Jireh- Testimony: So I finished a job and I got some of the payment… the rest of the payment I didn't see it. I call them and the girl is like we don't see the job completed on our end. Mind you I completed the job yesterday and the Holy Spirit continuously led me to take a picture of it. I obeyed. Am over here praying in tongues while on hold as they figure it out, I send the screenshot to them and talk to another associate. At this point am like ”Lord I need you to help me.” Right when I said that I felt the presence of an Angel behind me. Am still praying in tongues and then the dude comes back like “we are soo sorry ma'am, it's actually $574 not $474, I will send it to you right now.” In my head am like y'all betta tell the truth and shame the devil and add that extra $100

In this powerful exploration of faith and sacrifice, Pastor Snook preaches on the timeless story of Abraham and Isaac from Genesis 22. This sermon challenges us to examine our own willingness to trust God completely, even when His commands seem incomprehensible. Jehovah-Jireh - the Lord who provides - emerges as a central theme, reminding us that God's provision often follows our obedience. As we reflect on Abraham's journey up Mount Moriah, we're invited to consider what 'Isaacs' we might be clinging to in our own lives. Are we truly willing to lay everything on the altar for God? Pastor Snook encourages us to step out in faith, trusting that when we obey God's voice, He will provide in ways we can't imagine. The parallel drawn between Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac and God's sacrifice of Jesus on the same mountain centuries later offers a profound insight into God's love and the ultimate provision He made for our salvation.

Pastor Paul Reid is with us to examine God's name Jehovah Jireh by looking at the story of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah.

In Genesis, God asked Abraham to go to Mount Moriah to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Abraham obeyed God and took Isaac up the mountain. On the way, Isaac kept asking his father what they would be sacrificing. When it became clear what was happening, Isaac obeyed his fathereven though he was probably very frightened. Are you like Isaac, willing to be a sacrifice for God? In this message, Jill helps us understand God as our Jehovah-Jireh, our provider, so we can learn to be committed to God's plan.

Hey friend! It is Linda driving this one today!  And most of us know Jehovah Jireh as "The Lord Who Provides"—but what if we've been missing something even deeper? In this episode, I sit down with Shelly Griffin, a Biblical scholar and dear friend whose understanding of God's names will challenge everything you thought you knew about faith, surrender, and divine provision.   We dive deep into: The hidden meaning of "Jehovah Jireh" that changes how we see God's provision. Why God doesn't just see—He sees TO IT. The gut-wrenching story of Abraham and Isaac and why it makes no sense… until it does. How God's timing is never random—He provides in the exact moment we need Him. The personal struggles, modern-day tests of faith, and why surrender is the key to experiencing God's presence.   If you've ever wondered: "Why would God ask me to give something up—especially something He gave me? Why does obedience feel so costly sometimes?" "How can I know if God will REALLY provide?" This episode will give you answers—and maybe even wreck you (in the best way).   Resources Mentioned: Genesis 22 – The story of Abraham & Isaac Hebrews 11 – The faith chapter CeCe Winans – “Refiner” ( Highly recommend): https://open.spotify.com/track/4pduLDsqSxHd2eOMt8VHt3 Study on the Names of God     BONUS: Ever dreamt of hanging out with us for 6 weeks in your small group or church?

Deep in the heart of Israel, God desires to be known by His chosen people.  Revealing Himself to Moses as Yahweh, the Great I Am, a name too holy to utter, the Israelites call Him Jehovah.  Throughout the Old Testament, Jehovah responds to the faith of His people and shows Himself strong on their behalf.  In remembrance of Jehovah's power and love, the people give Him additional names describing His ability and willingness to help in their lives.  Each name describes the nature of the One True God!  Each is Jehovah!  Together, they are the J-Team! In the village of Zarephath, near the city of Sidon, there lived a widow woman and her son who were so poor that they were about to starve to death.  One day, Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider, gave the widow a promise and when she believed it and followed Jireh's instructions, her life and the life of her son were saved.   You can read more about this story in 1 Kings 17:8-24. #kids, #biblestoriesforkids, #storiesforkids,#bedtimestoriesforkids, #storiesforchristiankids, #biblelessonsforkids, #bestronginthelord, #jehovahjireh, #thelordgodalmightyourprovider, #thelordwillprovide,  #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #fishbites4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb IMAGE BY FREEPIK

I'm Hunter, your host for today's journey through scripture. In this episode titled "January 8th, 2025," we're diving into powerful stories of faith and obedience from Genesis chapters 20 to 22 and Luke chapter 8. We'll explore the dramatic account of Abraham nearly sacrificing his son Isaac, only to be stopped by an angel and discovering God's provision through a ram. We'll also travel with Jesus as He teaches through parables, performs miracles like calming storms, casting out demons, and healing the sick. We'll reflect on the deep faith of Abraham and how it shapes our understanding of God's character as a provider, emphasizing the profound lesson that God brings life rather than demanding sacrifice. Along the way, we'll also engage in heartfelt prayer and discuss how these ancient stories apply to our lives today. Join us as we read, reflect, and are transformed by God's word. Stay tuned, and let's embark on this spiritual journey together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Unthinkable. Something unthinkable is being asked of Abraham. He's being asked to offer his one and only son that he loves as a sacrifice on this mountain. It's some kind of test of obedience, and it's unthinkable. But then again, maybe it wasn't altogether unthinkable. Maybe it was entirely conceivable. This culture and many cultures throughout that time and through all time actually have had the practice of offering the blood of a human to pacify or appease or to court the favor of an angry or capricious god. Abraham knows this. He knows that this is what the gods of the culture in his world so often require. But Abraham also knows this, that God, the God he serves, the God who called him to follow, the God who promised him a son, The god who made good on that promise even at the age of a 100 years old. The god who takes him by the hand and says, let's go outside and look at the stars. The blessing that's in store for you is beyond the number of stars in the sky. The god who meets him at his lowest, at his darkest, in that deepest point of of barrenness. This god, he had learned to walk with and trust, and was not like any other god in the world. Abraham knew that this is not a bloodthirsty god. This is a god of life. This god is not distant. No. He comes to Abraham. And this god is not capricious. And he's not angry and ready to pounce. This is what other people believe about God, but not Abraham. He believed that God is good. The God who's named on this mountain, Jehovah Jireh, he is the one who meets us in our need, in our shame, in our barren places. He's not like other gods. He does not require that you provide for or spill out or atone for or pacify with your own blood or the blood of those that you love. No. God has another way. And this god doesn't kill his son. He's not like the other gods. The son instead offers himself. And he's killed by humanity, not his father. And through this offering of his life, he overtakes the evil one. He wins the victory for you and me, and for the sins of the whole world. He defeats the powers of sin and darkness once and for all. Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, god was able to bring him back to life again, because this god is good. And Abraham believed it. Abraham was asked to do the unthinkable because he knew something that we all should know. The character of God. That God is good. That we can trust him with our lives, that he comes to us in our darkest and most bare places, and he raises us up there into new life. Right there, he meets us. He has achieved this for us on Mount Moriah on the cross. There, he laid down his life for us, and there, he wins for us victory. The victory that our souls were made for. And the prayer of my heart today is that my eyes will be opened up to see what Abraham sees. The character of our God. I will learn to walk with him the way Abraham has, by walking with the son, who has revealed to me the face of his father. That I will know the embrace of the father and the son and the holy spirit. This life that my soul longs for has been provided for me on the mountain of the lord. Jehovah Jireh. The prayer of my own heart is that I will know this well. That I'll know the freedom of it, the life of it, the joy of it. And that's a prayer that I have for my family too, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. Let's continue now in a time of prayer TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
