This is a continuation of a study I am doing on "The Many Names of Jesus". This name was quite difficult for me to do because I looked up the scripture as usual on my most favorite online bible study tool. Biblos.com and as I read the scriptures, nothing seemed to make sense.
So I just left it for a bit and thought of skipping this name of doing another name of Jesus, but somehow it did not work quite like that.
So I just left it for a few days.
On Tuesday I went on a 3 day fast for a specific reason and on Thursday (the last day of my fast), during my quiet time with Him went back to this name and this time around when I read the scriptures, what a revelation it was. It was like once read and so much received.
I stand in awe of God, who even though when we don't really ask, He blesses us. He really sees the big picture that we don't and miracles like this; that some of us witness daily and some of us take for granted; remind us time again of what an awesome God we serve.

So the arrangement of the post goes as below and if you missed the other posts just go back and read them.
NAME
Scripture for reference
My thoughts (if any)
Exodus 3:2 There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.
Reminds me of the worship song "Consuming fire fan into flame"
Judges 13: 15- 18
vs 15 Manoah said to the angel of the LORD. "We would like you to stay until we prepare a young goat for you"
vs 16 The angel of the LORD replied, "Even though you detain me, I will not eat any of your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it to the LORD" (Manoah did not realize that it was the angel of the LORD)
vs17 The Manoah inquired of the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes true?"
vs 18 He replied, "Why do you ask me my name? It is beyond understanding."
There is only one Name and one Name only that is beyond understanding, be it in the world or in heaven. The name of JESUS. This was the verse that stuck through my head the entire day. All I could think was what an
awesome God I serve. JESUS. A name beyond all understanding. And in verse 16 Jesus shows that Jesus always puts His father first and that is something all of us should follow of His example.
Joshua 5:14 "Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." The Joshua fell face-down to the ground in reverence, and asked him "What message does my LORD have for His servant? "
Commander = Leader
Army of the LORD = Angels
Who is the Leader of Angels = JESUS
Stay blessed.
