Day 22 (Elul 22) – The NAME above all names

MODEH ANI – MORNING PRAYER

My Creator, Heavenly Father—YAHUAH, the Name above all names, the GREAT “I AM.” I lift Your Name on high, and I exalt Your Name in the highest. I bow down before You and worship You for Who You are. Thank You for restoring my life into Your image and giving me a new chance today to follow Your heart and to experience Your love, mercy, and grace.

I adore You as KING of kings and the Lover of my soul. Father, reveal to me Your Truth of Who You are and teach me Your ways, for that is the good way and the way of Your Shalom. Father, I want to repent of all my religious beliefs and strongholds that hinder me from growing closer to You, and day by day, I want to embrace Your loving mercy and kindness in my life.

I lean on Your shoulder and whisper, “I need You… I cannot live without You.” Take hold of my hand, walk with me in my field, and teach me Your ways. In the beautiful Name of YAHUSHUA—HalleluYAH!

REFLECTION: The enemy wants to devour, but in His Name is POWER

1 Peter 5:8 says:
“Your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

Any relationship starts somewhere. Mine began in 2004, in the middle of the night, when YAHUAH woke me up and showed me a Scripture that made me realize how little I truly knew of Him. He saved me that day, and I joined our local AGS Church and got baptized. That is how my journey and my relationship with Him started.

But as I grew closer to Him, learning more about Who He is, His ways, His character, and His Word, He began to remove the veil—the worldly covering—over my eyes and started revealing HIS TRUTH.

Personally, I don’t think the enemy really cares if we go to church on Sundays once in a while or attend a service at Christmas—which I no longer do—but I do think the enemy becomes uncomfortable when we see the TRUTH, as Father uncovers and exposes the enemy’s lies by removing the veil over our eyes. One of these TRUTHS was the revelation of YAHUAH’s and His Son YAHUSHUA’s real names.

The reason why translators left out or incorrectly translated our Creator and His Son’s names, is because there is 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐘 and 𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐃𝐘 in their names. Yes, the Power of the Holy Spirit will let demons flee, because YAHUAH can do anything, through anyone as He pleases, but that didn’t give us the right to change His name? YAHUAH’s Name will stay the same forever.

I have already written many teachings on this topic, and I suspect you have heard a few in the past, so this could become a long teaching if we dive deep. But let me first tell you: I, too, used the false names in the past in my teachings, in prayers for people, and while doing deliverance or counseling, and yet Father still performed wonderful works. I was ignorant and didn’t know the truth—but that is the difference, because once you learn the TRUTH, you cannot go back to the old ways.

When I began to walk on the Ancient Road of YAHUAH (Jeremiah 6:16), the first thing I asked Him was to show me His TRUTH about everything concerning Him. I asked where I should begin, and He answered: “FROM THE START.” Then He asked, “If I show you the truth, will you walk in it?” It took me a while to answer because it was quite a heavy question. Then I realized: if I ask for the TRUTH and He gives me the TRUTH, I have no excuse anymore; I must then walk in the TRUTH.

Not long after this conversation, I woke up one morning and Father pointed me to Exodus 3:15. I thought, “Well, that is nearly ‘from the beginning.’” When I opened the Hebraic Roots Bible for the first time, I read:

“And Eloah (H433) said to Moses again, ‘You shall say this to the sons of Israel: YAHUAH, the Eloah of your fathers, the Eloah of Abraham, the Eloah of Isaac, the Eloah of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My Name forever, and this is how I shall be remembered from generation to generation.’”

So, beloved, Father started with me with His Name. Isn’t that exactly where any relationship begins? It starts with knowing the person’s name. This is also how our journey with the KING in our field must begin—rooted in His Name. Father knew I didn’t know His real names, yet He performed miracles through the counseling, prayers, and deliverances I did. But did I truly know HIM? No, I didn’t—and that made me part of the Matthew 7:22 group, and that is not a place I want to be anymore. I can only imagine the shame if I one day stand before my Redeemer and He says to me, “Go away; I do not KNOW you.” That will be a day I will regret forever.

Does the way you say His names change your salvation? No, it does not. But it will change your relationship with Him, and that is what truly matters. It is not about what others tell you His Name is, or what the pastor says it must be, or what religion shouts in your face about it not mattering. At the end of the day, none of them will stand alongside you when you are face to face with our Heavenly Father, YAHUAH, and His Son, YAHUSHUA.

TESHUVAH Return: Let go of the LIE & exalt His Name on HIGH

I will say upfront that I am neither a Hebrew of Aramaic scholar, nor I don’t claim to be one, but what I am, is a true 𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 in 𝐘𝐚𝐡u𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐚 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐡. As we go through the purifying fire of YAHUAH’s consuming fire to strive to live a life of holiness, we tend to go into a deeper intimacy relationship with Him. In this process, He reveals more of His Kingdom secrets, He reveals the falsehood of Christianity and the false doctrines we have been raised up with and He will show 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐇 for us to walk in.

Many people asked me, “𝐖hat does it matter what we call our Creator?” Well, the third commandment strictly forbids taking the name of YAHUAH in vain. ‘In vain’ literally means to ‘𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆, 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒊𝒇𝒚, or make common’. Taking the name of YAHUAH or YAHUSHUA and changing it to ‘Lord’ or ‘Jesus’, is definitely going against the clear instruction of the third commandment!

So, beloved, today we are standing in the field with our KING, and what is His Name that we will whisper in His ear? It’s time to walk in the path of His TRUTH and that starts with HIS name. Today we can all repent by asking Father to forgive us for our ignorance and also to forgive us the times we used His name in vain.

BERACHAH Blessing: His Name will break the curse and set the enemy in reverse!

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 because there is a blessing in it, and it’s filled with power and anointing! Let’s TESHUVAH | RETURN and start calling our Creator, the only living Elohim by His Name, YAHUAH and His beautiful Son that is our Redeemer and Savior, YAHUSHUA our Messiah, because They are worthy, and we need to stay obedient to the 3rd commandment.

The Bible clearly teaches that YAHUAH’s Name is a sign and a distinguishing mark on His people, setting them apart for His purposes:

Revelation 14:1 – “Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Name and the Name of His Father written on their foreheads.” Revelation 22:4 – “They will see His face, and His Name will be on their foreheads.”

These passages confirm that the Name of YAHUAH is not only a sign in the Torah but also a seal in the end times, marking those who belong to Him. So beloved, if His name is a sign and a seal, why do we not know what it is and walk in it as He showed us? Truly this is a blessing to be sealed with His name, and that is our SHIELD in the days that is ahead of us!

SCRIPTURE: ACTS 4:12

Today, the Scripture the KING in the field is highlighting comes from Acts 4, where Peter and John healed a crippled man at the Temple gate called Beautiful. This miraculous healing drew a large crowd, which gave Peter the opportunity to preach boldly about YAHUSHUA as the Messiah. In verse 12, he declared: “And there is salvation in no other man, for neither is there any other Name under Heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Clearly, there is only one Name in which people can be saved: the Name of YAHUSHUA, which means YAHUAH’s Salvation.

Beloved, today the choice is yours. What a wonderful opportunity it is to walk with the KING in the field, to honor Him, and to call Him by His correct Name. Let’s start calling our Creator, the only living Eloah by His Name, YAHUAH and His beautiful Son that is our Redeemer and Savior, YAHUSHUA our Messiah, because they are worthy, and we need to stay obedient to the 3rd commandment.
