Part 5: Does Your Praise Reflect the Names of God?

What does understanding the names of God have to do with living a praise-filled life? In this powerful sermon, Dr. Michael Youssef explores the deep meaning behind God's names and their significance in our daily lives. Discover how knowing God's names reveals His nature and mission and how this knowledge can transform your relationship with Him.

Key Themes Examined:

  • The importance of names in the Bible and God's purpose in revealing His names
  • The nature of Yahweh and His names, including Yahweh-Jireh, Yahweh-Rapha, and Yahweh-Nissi
  • Moses and the symbolism of the staff during Israel’s battle against the Amalekites
  • Living in victory under Yahweh-Nissi, our banner of protection
  • Yahweh-Shalom and finding peace through obedience to God
  • The importance of being set apart for God under the name Yahweh-Mekaddish

Key Points Expanded:

  1. Yahweh-Nissi: God is Our Banner: Dr. Youssef passionately expands on the name Yahweh-Nissi, showing how God as our banner represents victory over life's most significant challenges. The staff of Moses was more than a symbol—it was a declaration of God's sovereignty and power, under which the Israelites secured victory over their enemies. Similarly, when we praise under Yahweh's flag, we proclaim assured victory over every giant in our lives, no matter how terrifying.
  2. Yahweh-Shalom: God of Peace: Dr.  Youssef also unpacks the name Yahweh-Shalom, the God of Peace. Dr. Youssef explains how peace is often lost when disobeying God. When the Israelites repented and turned back to God, they found that Yahweh-Shalom restored their peace, offering a profound lesson on how to regain peace by confronting the root cause of our turmoil—our disobedience to God.
