The Name 5
By Dr. Thomas Michael
After thousands of years of silence, the people
of God have finally discovered the Most Holy Name of the only true God. Exodus 34:14 "For thou shalt worship no
other god: for YAHVEH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. The word
"god" is just that, a word, a title, a point of reference, and it could be
pointing to any god. Even Satan is a god. Our God has a name. His name-YAHVEH,
means the God of covenant agreement who will save His people from their
oppression.
We need a God who can save us from our oppression because at some point or another, we will all be faced with some form of oppression. But we must know who to call on when we need help. Few people know the character, authority and identity of the FATHER. That is why there are so many sickly, depressed, and divorced people within the stained glass windows of the church.
God wrote His name upon an ark that was built with precision, expressly as He desired, not according to the needs of the people. Most men of God are so consumed with meeting the needs of the people that they miss the glory of YAHVEH and His instructions. When David carried the ark of Agreement to his house, he recognized his own iniquity and was fearful of bringing the holiness of the ark to his house. 1Chron. 13:6 (NIV) "David and all the Israelites with him went to Baalah of Judah (Kiriath Jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim-the ark that is called by the Name. The ark of Agreement carries the glory of YAHVEH, and the glory of YAHVEH is all light. I heard the Spirit of YAHVEH say that there is regenerative power in the light of the glory. It is more than preservation of life; it is regeneration, renewal of life. Whatever was dead in the light of the glory is reborn and regenerated.
The word says in Joel 1:4 "That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten. In the glory, everything you have lost regenerates and reappears. YAHVEH is going to restore everything to the people who know His character, authority, and identity.
But how can you know His identity if you deny His name? Do you want to know what the antichrist really is? It is someone who denies the power of the name of YAHVEH. Be warned, if you are one of those profaning His name. Malachi 1:11-14 "My name will be great among the nations, from the rising to the setting of the sun, in every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to my name, because my name will be great among the nations, says the LORD Almighty. But you profane it … "Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal to the LORD Almighty, and my name is to be feared among the nations."
Some of you may think you are doing okay because you don't cuss or drink, but you have cheated the Almighty. Some of you have withheld from the abundance YAHVEH has bestowed upon you, and you have given him the crumbs. Many are sitting in churches where the anointing is flowing, and they are getting by because every time the anointing flows, it breaks the yoke of bondage. But come Monday morning, they're right back in their bondage because they are cheating God. The anointing flows according to the faith of the people in the room; the glory flows according to the obedience of the people. The anointing is based on man's faith; the glory is based on the Almighty's ability. The anointing is the essence of the source; the glory is the Source. The anointing flows according to your faith; the glory flows according to YAHVEH's power.
You must move into the light of His glory where everything that can be revealed will be revealed to understand this mystery. The Almighty is no respecter of persons, but He is a respecter of posture, precision, and position.
