YAHWEH


It seems that adoption is dominating my thoughts lately and have felt the Lords gentle reminder that I need to focus on Him and Him alone.  After all, without Him nothing is possible.

I love His name Yahweh.  I am that I am.   So Powerful, so Almighty.  He was never created.  Always was and always will be.  He needs nothing or no one.  He IS.

As I was spending time with Him in His word tonight I came across this scripture, John 18:4-6.  This passage is about Jesus' arrest.  4. Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?" 5. "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied.  "I am He," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6. When Jesus said, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the 
ground.

Did you catch that?  When Jesus said "I am He"  the soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees collapsed to the ground.  At the sound of His name.  The very ones who were about to arrest Him.  That power is in me!  His Holy Spirit resides in me and when Yahweh looks at me He sees His precious Son.  What grace and what love. There are tears spilling down my face as I type.  I am so underserving.  What a gift.    

 YAHWEH.  The power in His name is hard for my mind to comprehend yet He allows me to say it in a whisper, or to cry it out, or in those moments when I can't find the words, my soul speaks to His heart and He knows.  He calls me daughter and I call Him Yahweh.  I am that I am. 

Thank you Jesus.
