JAN 9-10 BREAD OF LIFE – THE NAME – SCRIPTURE{KJV}: 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, THE FATHER, THE WORD, and the HOLY GHOST: and these three are ONE. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are His. And, let everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Isaiah 9:6 FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN, UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN; AND THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER; AND HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED “WONDERFUL”, “COUNSELOR”, “THE MIGHTY GOD”, “THE EVERLASTING FATHER”, “THE PRINCE OF PEACE”. Exodus 3:13-15 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is His name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM has sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD GOD of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Exodus 6:2-3 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am THE LORD: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of GOD ALMIGHTY, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. Amos 4:13 For, lo, He that forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares unto man what is His thought, that makes the morning darkness, and treads upon the high places of the earth, THE LORD, THE GOD OF HOSTS, is His name. Amos 5:8 Seek Him that makes the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night: that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth: THE LORD is his name: Amos 5:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose name is THE GOD OF HOSTS.

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US. 1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the SON OF GOD; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the SON OF GOD. Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our FATHER which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. John 1:29 The next day John sees Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold THE LAMB OF GOD, which takes away the sin of the world. Rev.5:6…stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD sent forth into all the earth. Rev.1:8 I am ALPHA AND OMEGA, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, THE ALMIGHTY. Rev 2:17=He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone A NEW NAME WRITTEN, which no man knows saving he that receives it. REV.3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. REV.2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast labored, and hast not fainted. REV. 3:12-Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him MY NEW NAME. Rev.19:11-12=And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called FAITHFUL AND TRUE, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and HE HAD A NAME WRITTEN, THAT NO MAN KNEW, BUT HE HIMSELF. Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of GOD and of THE LAMB shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him: John 10:27-30 [JESUS SPEAKING] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.

PONDERING: On a human level, to keep someone’s word is to faithfully do as they instructed. To deny someone’s name is to deny what that person claims to be. When we labor for someone’s name sake it is because we honor that person and have faith in him because we know his fruits and story. GOD knew that we were human and far below Him and so when He approached us He approached us through our hearts, on the human level of understanding. He despised how the humans in the synagogues had legalized His Word. Jesus said His sheep know His voice, not His name. Can you imagine the Son of GOD being approached by a human who knew and loves Him with all their heart and because they used the wrong name in addressing Him, He would reject that love???? NO! That is what an arrogant proud human would do. That is what a religious person would do who follows the false doctrines of man. Our Savior sent us the Holy Spirit when our hearts opened to Him with all of our love so that we would not be enslaved and ritualized with the doctrines of man. GOD hates magic and rituals as doorways to His heart. The only Door to GOD is His Son, our Savior and Lord, the WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE, ALPHA AND OMEGA, GOD WITH US, THE GOD OF HOSTS, THE LORD, JESUS, EMMANUEL, JEHOVAH, I AM THAT I AM, I AM, LAMB OF GOD. GOD and the LAMB sit on ONE throne. As Jesus said, they are ONE. Those who insist that their name for our Savior is the only correct one, or their church is the only correct one to unlock the door to God’s Eternal Home are very close to committing the sin of denying the Holy Spirit and replacing it with the word of man. The ONE who had no human father, was birthed by a virgin, who revealed and displayed the Truth of GOD and was without sin, who died for me and all mankind, who resurrected and returned to His Apostles before ascending into Heaven, and who sent the Holy Spirit to be the connection between the Believer and GOD, and who in the future is going to resurrect the dead Believers, and harvest in a twinkling from the clouds the living who are His, and return to earth with the judgement of GOD’s Wrath and take rule away from man, and rule with the help of His Eternal Followers for 1,000 years, is the ONE who I follow. His true name will be known when I and all His Believers next see Him and receive their true name on a white stone given to them by the ONE they love the most, who shepherds them from all evil.

PRAYER: FATHER, IN THE Name of Your Son, our Savior and Lord, thank you for being our Shepherd and speaking to our hearts as they are conformed to Your Will and Your Love. Direct our lives to reveal Your Truth and Salvation, Your Light, to all that surrounds us. Amen
