I remember I was on base, I was ending my 12 hour watch when I sat in the galley waiting for the rest of my crew to meet before I dismissed them for the day. I turned on the TV and watched in disbelief, I watched and hate grew in me so strong but yet a fear for my wife was in Los Angeles and I felt it would be hit next. So I ran to a the phone and called my brother in law and told to get her out of LA now. I was not able to leave the base not because the base was overwhelmed, because all I could say to my chief is that we can not let this go unanswered they must pay. That day I was not a Christian, that day I was not your brother in Christ at that moment I was apart of the finest fighting force in the world waiting for the call for us to deploy and to hear the CO say boys its time to say lock and load. We had guys in the brig that said they would gladly go and bring this fight to their door of our enemy. Lord till this day I have not forgotten. Lord help me to forgive them that took the lives of innocent civilians. They did not attack one of our Navy ships or a Spec Opts team or any branch of the military. We must never forget this day, for those of you who did not loose a brother in arms on the battle field or son or husband or a daughter or wife or mother or a father. Remember
those who did say a prayer for them and great price that has been paid by for our freedom.
Dear Lord today I ask that you pour out your spirit on this nation today, let us join hands and lift up the name of our Heavenly Father let us give him thanks for keep this great nation, for California would have been hit also had it not been for God intercepting those in Houston that had planned to attack LA. Which for most of us military came as no great surprise, I know it was God who stopped them. Thank you Lord for all that you did that day to keep this nation whole.

Shaddai (almighty)
According to the Torah in the book of Exodus chapter 6. Shaddai is the name by which God was known to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The name Shaddai (Hebrew: שַׁדַּי) is used as a name of God later in the book of Job. Shaddai was translated with words meaning "Almighty". The Talmud explains it this way, but says that "Shaddai" stands for "Mi she'Amar Dai L'olamo" - "He who said 'Enough' to His world." When God was creating the world, He completed t the process. It is often paraphrased in English translations as "Almighty" although this is an interpretive element. The name then refers to the pre-Mosaic patriarchal understanding of deity as "God who is sufficient." God is sufficient, that is, to supply all of one's needs, and therefore by derivation "almighty".
We see in Exodus chapter 3 we are introduced to the almighty, 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 hath 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 for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. (Exodus 3:13-15)

Elohim (God, or authority)
Elohim is the commonly used name of God in the Hebrew Bible (Hebrew: אלהים).
The Name Elohim occurs 2,570 times in the Tanakh in such books as Isaiah 54:5; Jeremiah 32:27; Genesis. 1:1; Isaiah 45:18; Deuteronomy. 5:23. The word Elohim is the first name for God given in the Tanakh: “In the beginning, God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). Did you know that Elohim name is mentioned 2,600 times in the Hebrew bible?
In the traditional Jewish view, Elohim is the Name of God as the Creator and Judge of the universe. Hebrew grammar allows for this form to mean "He is the Power (singular) over powers (plural)". Eloah, Elohim, means "He who is the object of fear or reverence", or "He with whom one who is afraid takes refuge". Another theory is that it is derived from the Semitic root "uhl" meaning "to be strong". Elohim then would mean "the all-powerful One", based on the usage of the word "el" in certain verses to denote power or might.
“The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to those, You want to know my name? I am called according to my actions. When I judge the creatures I am Elohim, and when I have mercy with My world, I am named YHVH”
I simply address him as Father, sometimes I address him as Dad, for I'm a living breathing testament of his love and mercy, for without him I would not be here now. Thank you Lord for loving us even when we did not love you. That is a mark of a true Father.

Elah (Hebrew: אֵלָה), (plural "elim")
It is the Aramaic word for “awesome“. Our God is an awesome God hmm that makes sense to me :). Elah is found in the Tanakh in the books of Ezra, Daniel, and Jeremiah.
But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. (Jeremiah 10:10-12)
Elah-avahati, God of my fathers, (Daniel 2:23)
Elah Elahin, God of gods (Daniel 2:47)
Elah Yerushelem, God of Jerusalem (Ezra 7:19)
Elah Yisrael, God of Israel (Ezra 5:1)
Elah Shemaya, God of Heaven (Ezra 7:23)
I believe that we need to understand whom we worship, otherwise we are like the woman in [John 4:21-23]
But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

Elah Shemaya, God of Heaven (Ezra 7:23)
I believe that we need to understand whom we worship, otherwise we are like the woman in [John 4:21-23]
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Father let us worship you with all our heart all of our being in truth and spirit. We praise you for you are worthy of the praises.

El (mighty one)
El, by itself, means a god. It also means "el" one of power and authority and used for God in Genesis 1:1 in the Hebrew text.
elohe yisrael, "El the God of Israel".
And Israel (Jacob) took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation: (Genesis 46:1-3)"El the God of your father"
– Etymologically, El appears to mean power, El is associated with other qualities, such as integrity.
Which is why we are told that our Heavenly Father is the same today and forever more, he does not change. The same God that Jacob prayed to is the same God that we call upon for strength for direction, for redemption. Elohe yisrael. we need you more than ever before to direct our steps and guard our hearts and minds.

Friends lets make it a point today and everyday to pick up our Bibles and learn a little more about our God and His Word. In studying the Bible we learn the very mind and heart of our Heavenly Father, we learn what he hates which is sin and that he loves us dearly, so much so that he gave his only begotten son to pay the debtors price. Did you know that he considers you daily? Did you know that He has plans to prosper you? Did you know he longs to hear from you? Did you know he wants to sit and reason with you concerning the issues of your life? Well its time you got to know your Heavenly Father and understand the Promises of God. Did you know there were over a 1000 Promises of God to those who are called by his name, the children of God. So if you are indeed a child of God those promises are for you. You may not be a Bible scholar when you start but I promise you will have a little more understanding each day as you take at least 10 minutes to study the Word of the Almighty. It will make you a better person and reveal deeper insights on your Heavenly Father to learn the attributes of Adonai (God).
So what are you waiting for pick up a Bible and get to know Him for yourself.

Would you say you know God??? Really
Can anyone tell me what is God's name? I speak to those among you who say you know God, if my lovely wife is asked who is that guy your married to. I would hope she wouldn't say my husband but address me by my name. I never like when I'm referred to as that black guy, for I have a name and I like to be addressed by it.
Greeks God name was : Zesus.
Islamic know their God by the name of: Allah.
Jews God name is: (אֱלהִים) Most religions have a God he/she has a name.
What is your God name?
Well, Moses asked the same question, cause he wanted to know who he was about to follow.
| 1 Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro His father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and He led the flock to the west side of the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. | |||
| 2 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and He looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed. | |||
| 3 So Moses said, "I must turn aside now, and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up." | |||
| 4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses, Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am." | |||
| 5 Then God said, "Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground." | |||
| 6 He said also, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Issac, and the God of Jacob." Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. | |||
| 7 And the Lord said, "I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings. | |||
| 8 "So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perrizite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. | |||
| 9 And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them. | |||
| 10 Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt." | |||
| 11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?" | |||
| 12 And He said, "Certainly I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain." | |||
| 13 Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I shall say to them, `The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, `What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" | |||
14 And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"
; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, `I AM has sent me to you.'" | |||
| 15 And God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, `The Lord, 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-name to all generations." (Exodus 3: 1-15) |
If you don't know your Father, how will the world know Him?
Perhaps that is why you have difficulty is sharing the gospel because you can't talk about someone you don't know? I hope that is not the case, my wife would not be happy with me simply addressing her as woman every time I referred to her as my wife. We should want to know our Heavenly Father not only his true name but to know his heart so that we can be children after His Father's heart.

is your faith muscle in Atrophy???
How strong is your faith? Yes I'm asking you this question.
Then Job arose and rent his robe; he shaved his head and he fell on the ground and worshipped. 21 He said: Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return there; The Lord gave; the Lord has taken away. As God pleased, so it has been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord! In all these things, Job did not sin with his lips, nor did he say anything foolish against God. (Job 1:20-22)
In Thomas Aquinas Commentary on Job he points out to us the faith of this man called Job. The Jewish Bible tells us About the Job the man and the virtue of Job have been described then his prosperity is shown so that the adversity which follows may be judged to be more grave because of the prosperity which precedes it. At the same time, this also demonstrates that not only spiritual goods but also temporal goods are given to the just from God’s first intention. But the fact just are sometimes afflicted with adversities happens for some special reason.
His wife said to him, "Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!"
He replied, "You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?"
In all this, Job did not sin in what he said (Job 2:9-11)
Think Job's faith was tested his helpmate was not being a helpmate at this point. yet even though Job could not see, he remained in hope that God who was the author of his faith and his provider (Yahweh-yireh)
Yahweh-yireh (God) our provider? When all else fails do you go to him on bended knees and cry out my God (Yahweh) I need you? I wish I had someone who knew what it was like to be running out of faith and still no sign of God anywhere, but yet you hold on because you got nothing else but the hope and belief that God did not bring you this far to forsake you.
"Faith, for instance, is not positive thinking; that is something quite different. Faith is not a hunch that is followed. Faith is not hoping for the best" by Ray C. Stedman
"Faith is the confident belief or trust in the truth or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing " Websters dictionary
Faith can best be describe like a muscle, if you stop working out the muscle you developed will soon go into atrophy. For those of us who desire to turn fat into muscle we must begin to awaken that muscle and work it till it becomes stronger. In the process of developing stronger muscles you will discover some pain, but the end result is that you will soon discover that it is worth it.
How is your faith muscle? Are you trepidated of having to use it? Ever wonder why is God doing this to me? Why doesn't he just fix it? Feel like you can't wait on the Lord any longer? How strong is your faith?

Did you know that our Father loved a Sinner like me??? Well did you?
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, buthave everlasting life.( John 3:16)
Many people quote John 3:16 -- but how many us actually believe it?
The Father never changes. If He loved the people of the world in the past -- He still loves them today. Yet many people think God is mad at sinners and that he hates the sinner, he like any Father is displeased by what he see's that the sin does to our lives. His hands are tired because of free will, image if you can for a second, being a parent and watching your child hurt his or herself and not be able to do anything to stop it. But to say no Bill or Sue this not good this will hurt you. Image after you do all that you can they still resist you and continue down a road that can only lead to harm to themselves all those around them. That is what my Heaven Father goes through daily
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(Romans 5:8)
Our Heavenly Father is NOT mad at us. He loves us enough to die for us! For a sinner is simply a Saint who has fallen down and not gotten back up, Christ is standing there with open arms ready to receive. Its time they accept they can get back up Christ is there with his hand stretched out to assist you. Just call upon his name, and he will not abandon you as the world does. Of course, God doesn't want people to remain sinners. He loves them too much for that. Sin destroys. It brings death. But the gift of God is life -- and that gift is found in a Person: the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the best friend a sinner will ever have. They need to know that. Someone has to tell them the truth. They think Jesus hates them because they're a sinner and not perfect. (The devil already fed them that lie.)
Its time they knew the truth that our Father loved us when we yet his enemy and he loves them also, who will go and tell them this truth? Shall it be your pastor or your deacons the prayer warrior from your church? Or how about you since you after all do work with them? Who shall tell your family members? Who shall tell your neighbors? You say I don't know how to them, try first off doing it with love.
That God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:19)
Wait a second so the Word itself tells us to that God has committed us to the message of reconciliation?
Pew warmers, it time you realize it not about you, it about letting the lost know that they no longer have to walk in darkness. Who told you the truth? How did you come out of the darkness? Did you think you were the last of the sinners to be saved?

Are we Parrots
A talking parrot begins by mimicking human sounds and other domestic noises. Then it goes on to imitating speech. When a Christian choose to act, think,speak like the world he is simply choosing to be a Parrot. Christ said we were to be in this world but not of it. Be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Do we not mimic those things that we like or want to be like? Though we are to be actively involved “in” the world to the degree that God will lead us to, we also have to realize and be very aware that we are not to become too much of an actual part “of” the world. Yes we were given the great commission by Christ to share the gospel to all that we come into contact with, one of the best way we can do that is how we live our lives. What a better testimony than by the way we live to share with others Christ. After all Christian is to be Christ like, a follower of Christ and his teachings. When he was here on earth he ate with sinner but did not become a sinner, let us remember that, we can sit and eat with them but do not become involved in their dirty jokes etc... God is telling us to keep ourselves “unblemished” from the world. In other words, He does not want us to become spotted, contaminated, and tainted by the bad and evil things of this world. And the only way that we can keep ourselves from becoming too blemished and too contaminated from this world is not to get too deep and too friendly with the ways of this world. “If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” (John 15:19) “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” (1 John 2:15)
Let none of us be like a Parrot for we are not of this world nor should we cling to or the things of this world. Each of you were brought out of darkness into the marvelous light, do not return to it. For only dog will return to his vomit, you are the sons and daughters of a king conduct yourself as such.
I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days …” (Deuteronomy 30:19)
