THE BACKING OF GOD’S NAME

Psalm 138:2 NLT … I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.

We’re probably all familiar with the expression, “What’s in a name?” It can carry a lot of authority or influence depending on whoever is associated with that name. It’s connected to the character of the person or organisation so when people hear the name they know what to expect.

When we’re dealing with God’s name or names though, we’re suddenly in a different category all together. We know Jesus has been given a name which is above every name and every knee must bow to Him because His name holds the highest honour in the universe.(Philippians 2:9-11)

Now bear that in mind when we read that all the promises of God are backed by the honour of His name. We’re being called to recognise just how powerful God’s name is, and how honour bound He is to fulfil His promises to us because His name is on the line. It’s His name that is backing His Word and His promises. It’s the name of the One who loved us enough to be nailed to a Cross for us, who is The Truth.

Immediately, we are being raised to a higher understanding, a deep confidence that whatever God has promised, He will do it. So, following on from yesterday, the Holy Spirit wants us to member the powerful significance the name of God carries when we claim His promises. They are unbreakable, unshakeable because they’re written in the blood of Jesus, by the power and backing of His wonderful name.

I hope that has encouraged us and stirred us up to claim those promises personally and declare them again and again over our lives, no matter how long it takes until we see them manifest, because God is asking each one of us today, “What promises are you believing Me to fulfil in your life, because they’re all backed by the honour of My name and they’re all Yes and Amen in Jesus.” 

Glory to His name! Amen.😊

YES AND AMEN!

2 Corinthians 1:19-20 NKJV For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us ….was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

Have you ever heard someone say, “You never know what God is going to do. You win some, you lose some” and it’s said in a doom and gloom voice?

Well, that may sound reasonable but it isn’t a true statement because our scripture says differently. It’s coming from our unrenewed minds when we think that way! God says He always leads us in triumph, we will win. So how does it work?

Our verse reminds us that all the promises of God in Jesus are Yes and Amen. When we say Amen we’re saying we agree wholeheartedly. God’s Word is His will, so whatever promise we’re standing on, God has said Yes! It is His will. We know for sure that’s what He has said and that He does what He says because He doesn’t lie.😊

The thing is, God is looking for our faith for Him to make it come to pass. When we’re in doubt and fear we’re giving God nothing to work with, but when we come into agreement with His word and His promises, He says His word will not return to Him void. He says He is alert and active watching over His word to perform it. (Jeremiah 1:12 AMPC)

Are you wanting some things to change in your life? Then show God you’re in earnest and find the promises of God on it. If we don’t know what they are we can tap in to the internet ‘verses on guidance’ (or whatever) and it will show them. 

Start declaring the promises every day and saying Amen and thanking God He’s making them happen in your life, even before you see them. God calls it walking by faith. I did that 18 years ago with healing promises, and praise God He performed His word in my life. Thank You Lord!

So, as we enter our new week, be encouraged and full of confidence to stand on God’s word and not be moved by what we see or what we feel, but declare by faith our AMEN which sets the promises in motion. When we do our part God will do His part. 😊

Thank You Jesus. Amen.
