Do you know Him as Lord?


 Exodus 6:2-3  2  God spoke further to Moses and said to him, “I am the LORD;
   3 and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name, LORD, I did not make Myself known to them.
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (LaHabra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), Ex 6:2–3.

       There are two trains of thought here one generationally and one personally.
             In every generation we hear of what God has done before, and we try to mimic and know God that way. I think in every generation God wants to reveal himself in a different way. HE wants to show Himself to that generation in a way that will bring the greatest impact upon them because He knows every generation and what they need.
             In every person He wants to reveal Himself as the deliverer of their individual situation. Because of situations in our lives we do not always recognize the power of God to heal or deliver us. So HE wants to reveal Himself in our personal lives so that we know Him in a more powerful way.
             The different names of God carry within them the very character of God and who He is. In ancient Hebrew culture they understood this. Today we have lost that idea culturally. His name is who He is and what He will or has done for us.

Is God trying to speak to you in a new way in this season of your life?

Does He want to reveal Himself to you in a way that you do not know Him?
