Fresh From the Pulpit will give you a fresh perspective each week straight from the the pulpit of The Agreement Center.

For centuries, generations have called upon the name of the LORD, only to find that He does not always answer. How can we truly worship a God whose name we do not even know? I heard the Holy One say, To see something you must expect something. To expect something you must know something. We must know, to expect, and we must expect to see. He says in Psalm 138:2, I will honour My Word and seal it with my name. Joel 2:32 says, And everyone who calls on the name of the YAHVEH, will be saved.

The whole relationship between YAHVEH and His people is based on worship. It is founded on the dimensions and levels of the Ark of Agreement. The Ark of Covenant or the Ark of Agreement was a specific dwelling place that the Almighty agreed to dwell in. He was so desperate for a people to worship Him that He agreed to house His glory in a box. His glory filled the box and the light of that glory radiated and emanated from that box into the holy of holies.

God is ready to give us the secrets of the Kingdom. God is ready to reveal His glory to His own, but He's looking for a people who will stand by His name. God is looking for a handful of people who will not be afraid to receive this Most Holy Name. It is mentioned 7000 times in the Old Testament alone and 1000 times in the New Testament. Don't tell me God is not looking for somebody to uncover the power in this most sacred name and proclaim it to the nations.

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.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.

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 power in the name of YAHVEH. If you do not know what His name is, you cannot know His honour, character, authority, and identity.

The reason the Holy Spirit keeps prompting me to begin this series with Ezekiel 33:31-33 is because there are many who have followed this man of God, this prophet, right to the edge until I began speaking on The Name. I have been entrusted with His name and I must declare it as I promised YAHVEH I would. I have tried to make it appealing to those of you who are in love with the transliteration of the name "Jesus", and have encountered much resistance.

We are entering into a realm where the light of the Almighty will illuminate us more than the sun. He is the light and in Him there is no darkness. In the light there is regeneration. The light of the glory of the Almighty has the power to regenerate dead cellular activity in a dying body. We shall begin to see miracles unlike we have ever seen. We shall begin to see the signs and the wonders and the greater miracles that Yahshua said we would do. All because we know and embrace His name. When you call on His name the walls of separation have to come down.

Nothing is impossible for our God. He is ready to loose you and give you freedom from the toxic levels of rejection, bitterness, unforgiveness, depression, prejudice, revenge, hatred, jealousies, envies, and strife that are the cause of all your emotional and physical problems. These toxins go undetected by X-rays and lab tests, and yet, are more destructive than any virus or bacteria. Quit looking for the answer to come from an outside source. If you are not healed on the inside first, made whole by embracing what Christ offers, you will never know true freedom.

Things have not changed in this world because not enough people are calling upon The Name. You cannot keep His Name hidden and expect to do the greater works that Yahshua talked about. We have the attention and compassion of Jesus/ Yahshua, but we need the power of YAHVEH. John 17:3 says, "This is life eternal, that they should know thee, the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Yahshua the Christ." Yahshua was sent in the name of YAHVEH in order for us to receive eternal life.

The reason so many are sickly and afflicted among us is because there is no blood washed living, no separation from the religious systems, no separation from the ways of darkness, and no separation from mediocrity. Pray and fast all you want, but there will be no separation from darkness and no freedom from demonic attacks until YAHVEH'S people recognize and begin to follow the protocol of the Spirit with precision. 2 Chron. 7:14 says, "If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray
Until we humble ourselves, bow down before the Almighty, and submit to His ways and His will, we will not see the glory of YAHVEH revealed in us.
