A Word Just for You from Pastor Johnson


Greetings Beloved: Nowadays we give our children names based on how it sounds, if its cute, or even if it rhymes. The rapper Kanye West even noted, She couldnt afford a car, so she named her daughter A-Lexus. But it wasnt like that in the Bible days. Back then, ones name indicated his characteristics, attributes, and abilities. Maybe thats why God has so many namesbecause his character, attributes, and abilities are so vast. Meditate on some of the names of God above. Then consider this verse from 2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Its unfathomable, but when you became a child of God, GOD GAVE YOU HIS NAME! So stop calling yourself a failure, a sinner, or just an average person. Stop calling yourself sick, depressed, unattractive, addicted, stuck, tired, short-tempered, lonely, weak, unlovable, broke, crazy, busted, disgusted, worried, or anxious. The verse above tells us that the process of healing begins by calling yourself the right nameGods name. No matter how you feel, or what the circumstances are, you are amazing, greater, faithful, powerful, prosperous, peaceful, joyous, generous, wanted, loved, accepted, and whole. God said so. So maybe you should start saying so too Youll be glad you did. To God be the Glory!
