Yom Shabbat, Tevet 14, 6003 – December 22, 2018
Following YAH
For those that do not recognize the name YAH, it is in the Hebrew in the scriptures in many places, but is literally stated in one place.
Psalms 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.
The name “YAH” is short for the name Yahuah or Yaweh. There is no “J” in Hebrew, it is the letter “Y”. Interestingly we are instructed to sing to God, sing praise tp the name, and “raise Him up” by His name. There are those that suggest because we do not know exactly His name that we should not try to use it, out of respect. I personally have never found that reference in the scriptures. I have found references like the one above that command us to use His name. I have also found references to Him providing perfect language.
Zephaniah 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.
The time is coming when we will each be called to sing to YAH in a pure language. In the meantime, it is good to praise Him by His name YAH!
Shabbat Shalom!
Prayer
Father YAH, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Let Your will be done here perfectly as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision, that it might overflow to those around us. Deliver us from the evil here that would constrain our praise of the name YAH. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here, around us and in us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. Restore unto Your people rightstanding with You. restore unto Your people all that the worm has eaten. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold of all the good that the enemy has taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,503,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people here. We ask all these things of You, Father YAH, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen.
