1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,080
Church, I'm going to invite you if you can, friend. If you can join me, I'm going to be

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:12,720
reading today out of the book of Exodus chapter 3 and verse 13. Exodus chapter 3 and verse

3
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:21,720
13. This is where the Holy Ghost has led me today, and I believe that, amen, God has put

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:33,000
a word in my heart. It reads as follows, Then Moses said to God, Indeed, when I come to the

5
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:41,320
children of Israel and say to them, The God of our fathers has sent me to you. And they

6
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:55,720
say to me, What is his name? What then, or what shall I say to them? And God said to Moses, I am who I am.

7
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:09,240
And he said, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I am, has sent me to you. Moreover, God

8
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:19,160
said to Moses, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of

9
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:28,960
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and this

10
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:39,680
is my memorial to all generations. Amen. With God's help today, I want to preach on this, this thought.

11
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:48,320
What is his name? What is his name? Church friend, I'm going to invite you to pray with me right now.

12
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,200
I know we've been worshiping. I know we've already been praying, but we're going to ask God, especially

13
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,960
now to speak to us for him to have his way. God, I come before you today. I want to thank you

14
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:06,320
for meeting us in this place. We do not take your presence for granted. We do not overlook

15
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:14,000
the sweetness of your glory, the power of your anointing that is in this place. God, and I ask

16
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,760
God that as we go into your word, that you will speak to us, God, that you will challenge us,

17
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:26,880
that you will encourage us, transform us, God. Father, I right now bind every, every spirit

18
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:35,840
that is contrary to the spirit of God, and we lose the power. We lose the anointing in this place

19
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,720
in the name of Jesus. God, have your way, Lord. Touch my lips of clay and put your word in my

20
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:51,200
mouth and be glorified in Jesus' mighty name. Can somebody say amen? Amen. You may be seated

21
00:02:51,760 --> 00:03:04,880
in the presence of God. What is in a name? It's been said that a person's name is to that person

22
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:14,160
the sweetest and most important sound in any language. Since birth, you have been conditioned

23
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:24,880
to respond to your name, and the sound of your name at times will cut through all of the noise,

24
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,080
all of the distractions that are happening around you. You may remember those moments

25
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:39,920
as a child when, despite everything you're hearing, despite the commotion, despite the busyness of what

26
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:49,840
you were doing, when your parents shouted or said your name, you, you heard it, and just the hearing

27
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:58,640
of your name registered in you. It awoken something in you. It called for your attention, and when

28
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:05,680
you address someone by his or her name, what you are doing is acknowledging their importance.

29
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:15,040
But the fact is, it's hard to remember names. How many of us have ever said this before?

30
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:26,080
I'm good with faces, but I'm bad with names. Amen? Anybody else out there like that? How many of you

31
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:36,240
know the sheer embarrassment of somebody who comes up to you and remembers your name? Jacob,

32
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:43,280
how are you doing? And you start to break out into a panic, a cold sweat breaks out on your

33
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:49,040
forehead, and you're getting nervous. Why? Because you don't remember their name.

34
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:56,560
And thank God we're in a church, right? Because you can always get yourself out by just saying,

35
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:05,280
brother or sister? Hey, brother, how you doing? Amen. That's a get out of jail free card when

36
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:10,320
you don't remember their name. But sometimes you can't go anywhere and you're just like waiting

37
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,960
for it to come to you. Amen. And there is something about remembering people's names that

38
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:23,360
that is just special to them. They never forget that our names are incredibly important.

39
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:30,400
They're incredibly important part of our character. And aside from carrying deep, personal,

40
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:38,560
and familial connection, names gives us a sense of who we are and the communities in which we belong

41
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:46,560
and our place in the world. I want to tell you that your name is in many ways your identity.

42
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,080
Your name is your identity. And when people call you by your name, what they are doing is

43
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:59,200
they're calling upon you. That's what we respond to. And that is in many ways the way that we

44
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:05,280
understand ourselves. Sometimes when you have a moment of reflection and you need to kind of

45
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:09,440
talk to yourself, I know maybe you don't admit doing that, but sometimes we've got to talk to

46
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:16,960
ourselves and maybe even look ourselves in the mirror and say our name and just the speaking

47
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:23,760
of our own name to ourselves has some meaning. And if you can understand these things, then you

48
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:33,680
can understand these reasons, then you may understand why God is so sensitive about his name. Amen.

49
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:42,800
And why his name is so powerful. And why he told Moses these words that when people ask or

50
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:52,800
when they mention this, what is his name, you ought to tell them these words. I am who I am.

51
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,520
He said, I want you to tell them that I am sent you. Somebody say, I am.

52
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:12,160
Now according to Egyptian theology and philosophy, you could defeat a God if you knew his secret name.

53
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:20,560
This is how they thought. And this is something that the Hebrews, that generation grew up in

54
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:29,920
in Egyptian theology and philosophy would have understood that if a God reveals his secret name,

55
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:37,120
you can defeat that God. But when the one true God said, this is what you want to tell them,

56
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:45,760
you tell them that I am that I am. And what God was essentially telling Moses was, I'm not afraid

57
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:52,560
for them to know my name. In fact, I want them to know. I'm not afraid to reveal my name to you,

58
00:07:52,560 --> 00:08:00,240
Moses. I'm not afraid to reveal who I am. And when God described himself as the I am,

59
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:08,160
he was revealing in essence his divine nature as the all eternal one, as the all

60
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:16,800
existent, self-existent one, as the all great and mighty God, the omnipresent one, the omnipotent

61
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:24,640
one, the omniscient one, the Lord of glory. He was declaring to himself, to his servant,

62
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:32,240
Moses, who would also stand before Pharaoh and declare the emancipation of God's people

63
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:39,600
after generations of slavery. He was announcing to him and to all of his people that I am

64
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:48,560
the God of glory. I am the only one, hallelujah. And he echoed the words that he would one day

65
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:57,760
speak in revelations one and eight, saying, I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end.

66
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:08,480
Who he is, who is, who was and who is to come, the almighty God. I have come today to preach to you

67
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:17,200
about the name of God. I have come today to tell you that God has a name and that name is worthy

68
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:25,440
to be praised and that name is worthy to be glorified and that name is worthy to be magnified

69
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:33,280
and that name is high and lifted up and there is no other name. I wish somebody can bless that name

70
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:43,760
today. I said I wish somebody can bless that name today. I am who I am is what God told Moses to

71
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:53,440
tell the people and I am who I am is also a Hebrew idiom meaning. It's a Hebrew expression meaning

72
00:09:53,440 --> 00:10:00,480
that when you get there I will be there. God wasn't just saying I am who I am because he didn't know

73
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:09,040
what else to say. God didn't run out of words. He was expressing a very powerful and divine principle

74
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:16,400
to Moses. He wanted Moses to understand something about his existence, about his nature, and about

75
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:25,280
how awesome and sovereign that he is and he says I am that I am or I am who I am and what he's

76
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:34,080
telling him is that I am everything Moses that you need me to be. Hallelujah. He was telling him

77
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:42,080
I will always be what you need me to be. I will always be there before you get there. I will always

78
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:50,240
be at any point that you are in this life. Moses I want you to understand that I am whatever you

79
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:57,280
need from me I am whatever you desire from me I am how many of you under the sound of my voice

80
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:04,000
today understand this about God that no matter where you go in this world no matter what position

81
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,800
you find yourself in no matter where you are headed we serve a God that stands at the end and from

82
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:17,120
the beginning and no matter where we traverse to no matter where we progress to that God is

83
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,560
already there I wish I had a witness in the house today I said I wish I had a witness in the house

84
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:29,680
today we serve a God that is greater than everything that we could ever go through and he is already

85
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:36,560
there wherever I go and that's why I am in churus today that's why I can lift up my head today

86
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:43,280
and realize that no matter where I find myself in this world the Holy Spirit is already there

87
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:51,680
David said if I lay my head in hell you are there if I rise to the mountain you are there I cannot

88
00:11:51,680 --> 00:12:01,680
escape you God my God is everywhere all at the same time he is a God of great glory he is a God

89
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:06,400
who is there when you get there and I've got to understand we've got to understand that when we

90
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:12,720
talk to God about what's going on when we pray we need to know that God is already there

91
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,680
God is somebody say he's already there come on say

92
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:26,240
he's already there and if you need God today I just want to give you some a few things for you

93
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:32,720
to get into your spirit and take somebody needs God today I mean everybody today needs God but

94
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:38,640
there is somebody right now who just needs to know that there is a God that you can call on

95
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:45,040
and I want to tell you number one is that if you need God all you got to do is call his name

96
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:52,480
whoo my God hallelujah I said all you got to do is call his name in the Old Testament

97
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:59,600
people could call on the name of the Lord and this practice started three generations after Adam

98
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:10,160
it says in Genesis 4 26 and asked for Seth to him also a son was born and he named him Enoch

99
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:20,800
watch this then men began to call on the name of the Lord three generations after Adam his

100
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:30,320
grandson generation Enoch was born and at this point in time men or humanity began to call

101
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:37,120
on the name of the Lord something was going on in the earth something was taking place in in

102
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:44,720
society something was happening throughout the world to to trigger this and to initiate this

103
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:53,600
desire within man to begin to call on the name of the Lord Enoch his name is significant and this

104
00:13:53,600 --> 00:14:02,640
is probably a hidden clue for us today as to why men began to call upon his name Enoch's name

105
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:15,680
it means several things it means mortal frail miserable and incurable hallelujah Enoch his name

106
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:23,760
describes the sinful status of the world at that time three generations from the fall of man

107
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:30,240
three generations from the garden of Eden can I preach like I want to today three generations

108
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:38,160
from paradise three generations from it being the ideal world that God had created it to be

109
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:45,760
three generations from a perfect sinless innocent society and three generations later the world

110
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:53,760
had come become so perverse and so backward and so diabolical and so upside down and so needy and

111
00:14:53,760 --> 00:15:01,680
broken that this boy Enoch was born and I think they named him that to symbolize and to embody

112
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:08,480
everything that was happening around them and it tells us something about our own lives we like

113
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:16,960
Enoch are mortal we are mortal what does that mean that means that we are earthly beings susceptible

114
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:24,240
to the realities of a broken world we are susceptible to the realities of a fallen world

115
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:30,960
we are mortal beings we are vulnerable to sickness we are vulnerable to the problems and the cares

116
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:39,440
of this life like Enoch not only are we mortal but we are also frail what does that mean it means

117
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:47,920
that we are in our own strength utterly powerless to lift ourselves out of the condition that we

118
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:56,000
are in that there is nothing within our self there is nothing intrinsically within us that can lift

119
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:05,280
us out of the clay of sin that can lift us out of where we are in our depravity in our failure

120
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:14,800
we are frail we are frail oh my god and as a result of being both mortal and frail humans are also

121
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:22,960
miserable because we are mortal and because we are frail we are left with our own devices

122
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:30,880
and we are hopelessly unhappy and discontent nothing seems to satisfy my god I'm gonna minister

123
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:38,240
today nothing seems to satisfy no nothing nothing seems to quench that aching thirst

124
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:45,760
nothing seems to satisfy the groaning of our hearts and we are we are miserable there is just

125
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:52,960
nowhere we can find solace there is just nothing we can do and that leads us to that final state

126
00:16:52,960 --> 00:17:01,120
where man realizes that because I am mortal and because I am frail and miserable I am incurable

127
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:07,680
there is no man-made antidote there is no earthly solution my god I wish I had some help today

128
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:14,400
there is nothing on this side of heaven that can offer me a remedy for my sin-sick self and so

129
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:20,320
because there is nothing I can do because I am mortal and frail and miserable and incurable

130
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:25,520
there is no doctor there is no lawyer there is no physician there is no philosopher I

131
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:32,400
god my god I wish I had some help there is nobody that can offer you anything but there is a name

132
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:41,760
I said there is a name that I can call on today when nothing else can work and everything else

133
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:49,760
fails there is a name I wish somebody would call on him right now I wish somebody would

134
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:56,320
believe with all of their hearts my bible tells me that wherever you call on the name of the lord

135
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:02,960
you shall be saved I come to tell you you may have called a lot of people in your life you may

136
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,280
have called your doctor you may have called your therapist you may have called your boss you may

137
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:12,480
have called your friend but I want to tell you a number that you can call today you can call on

138
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:19,120
him and he'll answer your prayer I wish I had some help today you can how many of you are a witness

139
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:26,560
that you can call on him I said how many of you are a witness that you can call on him

140
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:35,520
it tells me my bible that nor is there salvation in any other for there is on there is no other name

141
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:43,200
given among men under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved there is only one name

142
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:49,520
today there is only one name and God wants you to know that name and I'm going to reveal it if you

143
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,320
don't know what it is you're going to understand it very clearly before this service and before

144
00:18:54,320 --> 00:19:00,880
this message is over the most common name for God in the Old Testament was Yahweh or the English

145
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:08,080
version of Jehovah this is how God was known among his people and this was the most common term they

146
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,600
used title for God and there were many compound names throughout the bible there's a long list I

147
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:20,080
could read to you today but I'll just read a few of my personal favorites there was Jehovah Elohim

148
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:27,920
and this was this meant up the Lord our creator there was Jehovah Jireh the Lord our provider how

149
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,960
many of you know him to be your provider come on I said how many of you know him to be your provider

150
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:39,840
he is Jehovah Rafa which meant the Lord our healer how many of you know he's a healer today

151
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:46,720
oh hallelujah has he here is anybody got a testimony when God healed you oh hallelujah he is Jehovah

152
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:56,720
Nisi the Lord our banner or our miracle worker God is a miracle working God hallelujah he is Jehovah

153
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:05,360
Shalom the Lord our peace and there were many names upon which people called upon God when they

154
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:11,920
needed him and different types of names to describe different things that God did and that God could

155
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:19,520
do but in the New Testament which we are now a part of God accompanied the revelation of himself

156
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:26,960
in flesh with a whole new name and that name today I have come to emphatically declare it to your

157
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:34,160
spirit that name today is a name unlike any other that name today is a name that both includes and

158
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:40,640
surpasses every compound name revealed in the Old Testament that name today is a name that once it's

159
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:47,600
uttered and believed upon can absolutely revolutionize your very life from the crown of your head to the

160
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:54,000
soles of your feet that name is a name that even the dembles would tremble that name is a name that

161
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,800
can make all the difference my god I want a priest that name is a name that once it gets it to your

162
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:06,080
spirit I don't care what you're dealing with I don't care what you're going it can change everything

163
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:12,480
and I've come to tell you and announce it to your heart today that his name is Jesus

164
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:20,640
I think we ought to give him praise right now I think somebody ought to clap your hands I think

165
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:26,160
somebody ought to stand up on your feet and give that name the glory that it deserves

166
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:36,640
hallelujah hallelujah the name Jacob can't save you the name David can't save you the name Ben

167
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:44,400

168
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:55,120

199
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:04,400
top of their head to the soles of their feet this is my god this is what God is wanting to do

200
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,720
God is saying I need you to exalt my name again it's not about the preacher it's not about the

201
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:16,720
praise team it's not about the musicians all that is wonderful but if we don't have the name we don't

202
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:22,800
have anything oh I wish I had somebody instead of we don't have the name we don't got nothing

203
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:31,760
alamayashama I am let me tell you something right now how about if you want to keep praying pray

204
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:40,640
I am more than ever going to be 100 unapologetic about being a preacher and being a church of the name

205
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:52,800
unapologetic about being a church of the name someone say the name come on shout and say the name

206
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:59,440
that's right don't get it twisted don't think otherwise there's nothing else that we can do

207
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:09,280
if we don't have the name oh hallelujah Jesus it's the only name it's the only name and I want to

208
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:15,920
tell you I may only have time to get to this but let me say that not only are we to call on that name

209
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:22,800
but we've got to carry on that name oh rabbi you've got to understand church hear me those that are

210
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:28,320
here and those that are watching me via live stream you need to understand that it's not just about

211
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:33,760
calling on the name there are many today that are calling on his name and that are saying wonderful

212
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:41,040
things and God in his mercy and in his grace will heal and show up whenever his name is mentioned

213
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:46,640
but I need you to understand that just because someone calls on the name is not a validation of

214
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:52,000
their lifestyle and not a validation of who they are or not a validation of their doctrine not a

215
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,200
validation of their theology you can call on his name and God will be good enough that he might

216
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:07,360
bless you but there is also a people of his name there is a people and God has always desired not

217
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:16,400
just for somebody to call on his name but for somebody to bear his name starting with the

218
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:22,160
nation of Israel he wanted them to be a people of the name and in Deuteronomy this and 28 and 10 it

219
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:29,040
says that all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord and

220
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,520
they shall be afraid of you let me tell you something the devil's not afraid of the degrees on your

221
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,400
wall the devil's not afraid hell's not nervous about who you know how much money you have in your

222
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:44,160
account or what kind of car you drive the devil's not nervous the enemy does not care about who you

223
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:49,680
are in fact he don't even care what your name is brother or sister because your name don't move hell

224
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:55,120
and don't scare the devil but when you get a revelation that you are a people of the name

225
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:01,680
and that the name of Jesus has been applied to your life that will shake the devil in his boots

226
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:13,360
if we were determined to be a people of his name there is no devil in hell there is no weapon formed

227
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,920
against the people of God that shall be able to prosper are you hearing what i'm saying today

228
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:24,560
there is nothing the devil can do to stop a church that is harness and bearing the name of God oh my

229
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:31,920
Lord i want to be a people of his name how many of you want to be a people of his name oh hallelujah

230
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:39,840
hallelujah hallelujah oh i want to be that i want to be that if i don't get the name right it doesn't

231
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:48,080
matter what programs we have it doesn't matter what else we do we've got to get the name right we

232
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:53,760
got to get it right we got to get it right and one of the and one of the commandments that God gave

233
00:29:53,760 --> 00:30:01,040
to Israel out of the ten commandments he tells them you shall not take the name of the Lord your God

234
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:07,840
in vain now some of you were brought up to think just like i was at one point that that only applied

235
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:13,680
to like using the name of God as a swear word you know don't use God's name like that you know

236
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:20,080
using you know casually just just flippantly and can i tell you that that applies you know we we

237
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:26,880
have to respect the name of God with our words but it goes beyond that this command didn't have to do

238
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:32,960
with just how we talk about God with our mouth what this is telling us here that verb to take on

239
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:38,960
when it says you shall not take that word in the original language means bear he's saying you shall

240
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:45,440
not bear the name of the Lord your God in vain what God was trying to tell his people was that we

241
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:51,760
are not to just wear his name like a label or a brand and then not live a life that is resembling

242
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:58,640
of that name hallelujah what God is saying is that if i am holy you've got to be holy what God is

243
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:05,840
saying it's a my god hama hallelujah what God is saying is if you're gonna bear my name you're

244
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:13,040
gonna represent me in this world you're gonna be my ambassadors you gotta bear the name someone

245
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:19,520
say bear his name bear his name and God was saying don't just put on some people they just slap on

246
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:24,720
apostolic like it's a brand name you know slap on holy ghost and slap on new sin that that's all

247
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:30,000
right people slap on that but that's not gonna that's not what God's looking for God is saying I

248
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,800
want you to I want you to live up to it I don't just want you to wear it like a badge of honor

249
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:42,640
I want you to live it too my god I want you to be a people of my name no wonder when Jesus

250
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:49,200
commanded his disciple I'm almost when he commanded his disciples to go forth into all the world he

251
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:57,840
said go therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name someone say the name

253
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:11,600

254
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:19,280
name is singular and not plural what God was saying to his disciple is there is only one name

255

264
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:41,200

266
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:57,440
messages and I've heard all the things but there is something that even to this day really lights

267
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:05,440
my fire there is something that gets down into the inside of my spirit it's whenever we begin

268
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:15,120
to talk about that name whenever we begin to preach about that name and whenever we begin to worship

269
