The Truth About God: He Has A Name

YHWH - "Yahweh" - name above all names.

The Judeo-Christian God referred to in the Sacred Scriptures has a personal name... and it is very important to His spiritually minded and true followers! These are those, of whom it is written: "They worship Him, 'In Spirit and Truth....'" His name is: "YHWH," or "Yahweh" [as pronounced in English]. This is the name of God [The Father] and to whom both: Christians and Jews confer the scriptural deferential of, "I Am Who I Am." In fact, YHWH literally means [all of the following]: "I Am," "I Am He," "I Am He Who Exists," "I Am All That Exists," and "I Am Everything Existent."

For instance, we read:

•  "Then Moses said to God, 'Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they say to me, What is His name?' what shall I say to them? And God said to Moses, 'YHWH' [I Am Who I Am]. And He said, 'Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, YHWH has sent me to you." - Exodus 3:13-14.
• "Moreover God said to Moses, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: 'The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My Name forever, and this is My Memorial to all generations.'" - Exodus 3:15.

Effective And Fervent Prayer Avails Much

Kneeling, sitting, or standing up - prayer is still prayer.

As strange as this may seem, to some, "Prayer" is one of the single largest stumbling blocks in the lives of most Judeo-Christian Believers. Amazingly, however, few of the mainstream churches or synagogues ever dedicate any time to this most fundamental Judeo-Christian activity! There are numerous valuable and [even] extremely important questions surrounding it... and, let's be honest, they usually start with: "Why hasn't God answered any of my prayers?" Personally, I believe that this is the most fundamentally important question of them all. Why hasn't "God" answered any of your prayers?

Although many in the clergy cannot, or will not, tell you this - there are [honestly] numerous  reasons why your prayers might not have been answered... seriously folks, I'm not making this up. Let's open our Bibles together and thoughtfully examine some passages about Prayer. That is why He gave us the scriptures, after all.... In the Book of James we read:

• "Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The Effective and Fervent Prayer of A Righteous Man avails much." - James 5:16.
