Today's Word-March 8, 2009 ---I Can't Help Myself-I'm Preaching Again!

Today, I just want to give God ALL the praise, honor, & glory!

I woke up this morning in extreme pain-my back was killing me. It took me a while to get out of bed, and I even contemplated staying home from Church today. I took some ibuprofen, left for Church, and dealt with it.

In my heart, I knew that I needed to go up for prayer today. I couldn't sit down for more than a few minutes because of the pain, so I found myself Ushering so I could stand during the service.

When the prayer line started, I went and got my wife Jenny, and daughter Amanda. They each needed to go up for prayer as well-so we all went up together. I got annointed with oil and prayed for, and by the time I walked back to the rear of the Church to resume ushering, the pain was almost gone! A few minutes later, I knew I was healed! PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!! Jesus healed me!!! HALLELUJAH!!!

If you're struggling with certiain issues, I must encourage you-take it to The Lord Jesus in prayer. Have the Elders of your Church lay hands on you and annoint you with oil & pray for your needs! James 5:13-15. If you cannot get to Church, have a brother or sister in Christ pray for you!

Times are tough. People are struggling with finances, jobs, health issues, school, and various sins & bondage. BUT I HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS!!!

If you're struggling with finances, who can provide for ALL your needs, according to His riches in Glory?
- JESUS!!!

If you're having a hard time at work, struggling with the economy, possible loss of a job, or maybe even working two jobs, or if you have no job and wonder how you will get by: Who can be your Provider, who can give you peace, who can give you joy during the trial, and who can deliver you?
-JESUS!!!

If you're dealing with marriage issues, who can restore what the locusts have eaten?
-JESUS!!!

If you're dealing with health issues, who can heal your affliction? Who will let you touch the hem of His garment? Who can speak the Word so you can be healed?
-JESUS!!!

If you're struggling with bondage-it may be idolatry, withcraft, pornography, or adultry: Who can set you free?
-JESUS!!!

If you're getting too comfortable with the world, and are drifting away from God-who can reel you back in to a closer walk?
-JESUS!!!

Jesus is so many things to all who belive in His Name!

He is:

El Shaddai:“God Almighty.”
El Elyon: “The Most High God.”
El Olam: “The Everlasting God.”

Here are some other Names of The Lord:

Yahweh (YHWH): Comes from a verb which means “to exist, be.” This, plus its usage, shows that this name stresses God as the independent and self-existent God of revelation and redemption.

Jehovah is the other commonly-used name for God-sometimes used interchangably with Yahweh.

Compounds of Yahweh/Jehovah: Strictly speaking, these compounds are designations or titles which reveal additional facts about God’s character.

Yahweh/Jehovah Jireh: (Yireh): “The Lord will provide.”
Yahweh/Jehovah Rophe: “The Lord Heals”
Yahweh/Jehovah Nissi:“The Lord is my Banner.”
Yahweh/Jehovah Shalom:“The Lord is Peace.”
Yahweh/Jehovah Sabbaoth:“The Lord of Hosts.”
Yahweh/Jehovah Maccaddeshcem: “The Lord your Sanctifier.”
Yahweh/Jehovah Ro’i: “The Lord my Shepherd.”
Yahweh/Jehovah Tsidkenu: “The Lord our Righteousness.”
Yahweh/Jehovah Shammah: “The Lord is there.”
Yahweh/Jehovah Elohim Israel: “The Lord, the God of Israel.”

Adonai: Like Elohim, this too is a plural of majesty. The singular form means “master, owner.”

Here is a link for some of the other "names of God" and their accompanying scriptures. The list is just too big to include here: http://www.biblestudy.org/question/what-are-names-titles-bible-uses-for-god.html

Be encouraged!

Trust in God, and not in yourselves, or in other people. Lay your cares and concerns at the foot of the Cross. Surrender ALL to Jesus! There is NOTHING that Jesus cannot do!

Mark 10:27
"But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."

Can somebody PLEASE shout AMEN?
