GOD’S WORD FOR AUGUST 7 ~ ~ Psalm 45:17 ~ ~ “I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.”

From “The Power of God’s Names” by Dr. Tony Evans

God longs to be more to you than just a subject in a theology book. He wants to be real to you right now. To accomplish this, sometimes He allows you to get in what seems like a hopeless situation …..or even PUTS you in one. This is what He did with Martha and Mary when their brother, Lazerus, died.

He allows something you love to die so that you can experience a resurrection. He does this because He knows that when you see Him for who He really is—when you discover the character embedded in His name—you will never view life the same again.

With this new understanding of who God is, based on His names, you will view all of life differently, even your ordinary daily experiences. God wants you to view them through spiritual eyes and not just your physical eyes.

Most people rarely experience resurrections in their hopeless situations because they’re too earthbound, seeking to define God falsely by who they want Him to be. They’re so tied to their physical definitions and expectations of God’s names that they wind up missing out on the true knowledge of who He is.

Many people try to USE God’s name all the time, but they don’t KNOW God’s name as God defines Himself.

Too few people come to know the fullness of His hope simply because they fail to know, fear, and reverence God’s name. They fail to take Him at His Word.

David wrote in Psalm 86:11, “Teach me Your way O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.” Fearing God’s name empowers us to walk in His way and in His truth. It is the key to living the abundant life and fulfilling our destiny.

When we fear God’s name, honoring Him with our lives, we can ask whatever we wish, and it will be given to us. Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, he will give it to you.”

God’s name, and Jesus’ name bring protection and provision. But the key to accessing that is to know His character and honor the Person behind the name.

THE BETTER YOU KNOW GOD’S NAMES, WHICH IS HIS CHARACTER, THE ORE YOU WILL WORSHIP HIM.

THE BETTER YOU SEE AND EXPERIENCE GOD’S MANIFESTATION OF HIS NAMES IN YOUR LIFE, THE MORE YOU WILL GIVE THE GLORY TO HIM.

If you will watch closely as God reveals the various aspects of His character through the manifestation of His names, you will fear, reverence, and worship Him because you will have experienced the greatness and power of the one true God.

PAY ATTENTION TO HIM IN YOUR LIFE!
