The Name 6
By Dr. Thomas Michael
Isaiah 52:6 "But I will reveal my name to my people, and
they will come to know its power. There is power in the name
of YAHVEH. If you do not know what His name is, you cannot know His honour, character,
authority, and identity.
YAHVEH is sounding a trumpet; His Spirit is crying out for His people to come out from amongst those who are compromising their walk. In Amos 3:6-7, He says "When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not YAHVEH caused it? Surely Sovereign YAHVEH does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets."
Those Christians caught in the matrix of religion that have not followed YAHVEH's instructions are a grievance to the Holy Spirit. Steeped in the traditions of men, they are devoid of the presence of God.
The Spirit of the Lord is raising up a new generation of people who will follow after righteousness. I Samuel 13:14 tells King Saul, "…YAHVEH has sought out for Himself a man after his own heart, and YAHVEH has appointed him as ruler over his people, because you have not kept what YAHVEH commanded you." The Spirit of YAHVEH is looking for people who will unashamedly declare His name to the nations.
There is a plumb line that is measuring and counting the worshipers in the inner courts of the LORD. Rev. 11:1-2 "I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, 'Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.'"
True worshipers worship in spirit and in truth. They walk in agreement because they walk in the integrity of the name of YAHVEH, the God of agreement. Malachi 2:2 warns us, "If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honour to my name," says YAHVEH of hosts, "then I will send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart."
The Spirit of the Lord is creating a chasm between the rebellious and the obedient. The bible says in 2 Chronicles 2:1 that YAHVEH wrote his name on the temple that Solomon built for Him. YAHVEH only stamps His Name or signature on a place where He Himself chooses to dwell, which indicates the place has His stamp of approval and bears His identity or His glory. Psalm 5:11 says that those who love the Name of our God can take shelter in Him, so they may sing and rejoice in Him.
The Lord will help you overcome your difficult times because He is behind every event of your life. The bible says in Psalm 34:19, (NIV) "A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all." The sooner you break, the sooner you get through to victory. Just like our military uses boot camp to break recruits of their will, you must allow the Father to do the same in your life. Get to the point where you do only what you are told without complaining, recognizing that you have no choice.
You cannot feel oppressed if you are in agreement with your surroundings and the instructions you are being given. If you are humbly
doing what you are instructed to do, you will never feel controlled. Psalm 51:17 tells us what the Father expects from the righteous. "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." Embrace the Name above all names and release the power of miracles, signs, and wonders that are already yours.
