PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #16: HASHEM - THE NAME
Key Scripture’s : 1 Kings 8:28-29

Understanding the Name:
God’s name is associated with his glory, power, holiness, protection, trust, and love. To call on his name is to call on his presence. To act in his name is to act with his authority.To fight in his name is to fight with his power. To pray to his name is to pray to him. In fact, the very first mention of prayer in the Bible appears in Genesis 4:26: “At that time people began to invoke the name of the lord (NIV).” Though we are to exalt God’s name and proclaim it to the nations, it is also possible to dishonor it, which is the same as dishonoring him. God’s name is his reputation.

Though God’s name is holy and powerful, it cannot be invoked as a magic formula. Rather, his name becomes powerful whenever it is uttered by men and women who are exercising their faith in God.

Jesus taught his own disciples to pray by saying. “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name…”(Matthew 6:9 KJV). In John’s gospel, Jesus prays to his Father, saying , “I have manifested thy name to the men which thou gavest me” and “ I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known” (John 17:6, 26 KJV).

When we pray to Hashem (ha-SHAME), we are praying to the holy God who dwells in our midst, hearing and answering our prayers.
