“Your
Name has an Impression on Your character” SMYRNAEAN

050 Now, a church...
Now, the church name is associated with the nature of its character. Did you
notice the Smyrna meaning "bitter"? And you notice each one of the
church now, it's the--the church name has something to do with the character of
the church. I could say something here; but I'd better not, 'cause you'd get me
wrong. See? Your name does too. You might not know it, but it
does. Oh, yeah. You say now, "It's numerology." No, it's not. When
Jacob was born, they called him Jacob which was "supplanter"; but when
he wrestled with the Angel, God changed his name to Israel, "a
prince." Is that right? Saul was "Saul of Tarsus," a mean fellow;
but when he come to Jesus, he's called, "Paul." Simon's name was
"Simon"; when he come to Jesus, he was called Peter, "a little
stone." Oh, yes, sir. The... Your name associates what you're... It has
an impression upon your character. “Name Changed…”

Did you notice Abraham was called Abram, but when God went
to use him, He changed his name to Abraham. S-a-r-r-a was Sarra, but when God
was going to use her, He changed her name to S-a-r-r-a-h: Sarah,
"princess." Did you notice Jacob? "Jacob" was "supplanter."
Esau means "red, hairy and red"; red-headed, and red all over, is
Esau. Now, and Jacob was "supplanter." And "supplanter" is a
"deceiver." Didn't Esau say, "Isn't his name called Jacob, 'supplanter'?"
But when he wrestled with the Lord all night long, and overcome, and was
blessed, God changed his name: Jacob, Israel, "a prince with God."
Paul was called Saul until he met the Holy Spirit in the form of a Light that
shined down upon him; his name was changed from Saul to Paul. Simon, when he met
Jesus, He changed his name to Peter. That... And when Jesus overcome, His Name was changed. And He
would reveal that Name, "He that would be with Him, overcome as He has, he
received a new name; and I'll reveal My new Name to him." See? And every
overcomer, I mean, among such as that, them leaders and so forth. Now, all the
children of Israel didn't get their name changed, of course. That's right. But
those high leaders, when they overcome, they had received a new name. See how it
dovetails in just perfectly? “Christ
Means Anointed” CALLING
JESUS ON THE SCENE CHICAGO IL
63-0804E Now, the word "anointed," or, the--the--the word "Christ" means "anointed One." Therefore, there would be One anointed above all the prophets; for the prophets had a portion of God, but He had the Fullness of God. See? Now, so man could just have a portion. He had the Fullness of the Godhead bodily. “Joshua Means Savior”
TOKEN

Look. The same life that the token dipped in... The same thing that the
token did in Egypt, it spared everything that was under it; everything without
it perished. Joshua is a type of Jesus, which "Joshua"
means "Jehovah-Saviour." So does "Jesus" mean
"Jehovah-Saviour." Joshua was true to the token sign that his
messengers had preached. So will Jesus be true to the Token sign that His
messengers preach, when He comes. All under it was saved in Egypt. All under it
was saved in Jericho. What about today? We find out the lamb's blood was a type
of Jesus Christ. All right. “Titles to a Name”
QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS JEFF IN
COD 64-0830M
1092-Q-338
Has the Name of the Lord changed in the different dispensations? Yes, yes. It was once called--He was called the I AM.
He's called Jehovah, and He's changed many times. The last time it was changed
was when God became flesh and took a human name. Jehovah, I AM, and all of
those, are titles to a Name. See? If you was baptized in the name of
Jehovah, it'd have to be the Name of Jesus Christ. If you was baptized in the
name of Jehovah-rapha, Jehovah Manasses, and Jehovah-jireh, all of those, it'd
have to be Jesus Christ. The I AM is Jesus Christ. Remember, standing there that day, and He said,
"You say you eat manna in the wilderness..." "Our fathers eat manna" "And are dead." He said. And they said, "Well, we know now you're crazy,
because you're just a man and not over fifty years old, and say you seen
Abraham." He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." See?
He was the I AM. And all the titles and names that ever belonged to God was made
one human Name, the Lord Jesus Christ. All right. “It
isn’t Jehovah…It’s J-V-H-U”

Now, if you want some Scriptures on that... Brother Neville, if you'd get
me St. Mark 14:62. And Sister Wood, you get me Ephesians 1:20. Somebody else
have a Bible? Well, raise up your hand. Sister Arnold, you got one back there?
All right, you get me Acts 7:55. All right. Mark 14:62, Brother Neville; and
Sister Wood is Ephesians 1:20; Acts 7:55, Sister Arnold. All right, do you have it, Brother
Neville? All right, read now: [Brother Neville reads, "And Jesus said, I
am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and
coming in the clouds of heaven."--Ed.] All right, now, watch the first phrase there. Jesus
said, "I AM." "I AM." Who was the I AM? There has
never been a man in all the world could interpret It. Even the--you who
read the Lexicons and so forth, there has never been a man who could make out...
It's J-v-h-u. And even the Hebrew scholars could never pronounce it. That
burning bush there, that day when He met with Moses, It was J-v-h-u. So they
pronounced It "J-o-h, Jehovah," but It isn't
"Jehovah." J-v-h-u (See?) no one knows. And you say, "Well, Moses couldn't make It
out." He said, "Who can I say?" He
said, "Say, 'I AM' sent you: I AM." Now, watch. I AM is a present tense, not "I
was" or "I will be," I AM. Now, He said, "This will be a
memorial through all generations: I AM." “Elohim” GOD'S

And I wonder about that then if we'll go back to the beginning, all
things begin in Genesis. And in Genesis, we find out that God created man for
His fellowship. God loved to come down and to fellowship with His people. God,
in the beginning... Genesis 1: "In the beginning, God..." That
word there in Hebrew is "El-- Elah--Elohim, the all-sufficient One;
the self-existing One; the strong One." And in Him was attributes to be
Father; in Him was attribute to be Son; in Him was attributes to be Saviour; in
Him was attributes to be Healer; in Him was attributes to be God. There was
nothing but God and God alone. Now, these attributes was in Him so that made it
display something to worship Him. The first thing He made was angelic beings,
and they worshipped Him; they could not fall. Then He put man in flesh; he fell
by free moral agency, given the right to choose right and wrong. But God, in the beginning (I guess) it was the most glorious time, when our gracious, precious God came down in the garden of Eden in the cool and would talk to Adam and Eve, and they would fellowship. “Emmanuel”

come up here with nail scars in his hand, blood and smoke, and every--oil
running out of him. That wouldn't make it. Any hypocrite can do that. Certainly. But what it is, is the manifestation of this promised Word. He was God's anointed Prophet. He was--He was the God-prophet. He was what all the prophets was, it was in Him, plus the rest of what God was. God was in Christ reconciling Himself to the world. He was God, Emmanuel, the Fulness of God made known to us in the Person of His Son Jesus Christ, the second attribute of God “His Name Was Called Jesus”

44 And now, we find
out that Jesus said also, "I came in My Father's Name, and you received Me
not." Then the Name of the Father must be Jesus. That's right. The Name of
the Father is Jesus, 'cause Jesus said to them, "I carry My Father's Name.
I come in My Father's Name, and you received Me not." Then His Name was
Jesus, and Gabriel called Him Jesus, the prophets called Him Jesus, and He was
absolutely Jesus. Before His birth even the holy prophet called His Name
Emmanuel, which is "God with us." Then God was manifested in the flesh
in order to take away the sin of the world, and in doing so, He was given the
Name of Jesus. So Jesus is the Name. And the Name was placed in a Man, not a
church, not a denomination, not a creed, but a Man. He chose to place His Name
in Jesus Christ. Now, we find out that then He becomes the place of God's worship, where you worship Him. Ever before that He was even born, His Name was called Jesus. It was so important it was give to His mother by the Angel Gabriel, that His Name would be called Jesus, Son of God, what He was. “The Father’s Name”

218 093 Now, a son always comes in his father's name. Any son comes in his father's name. And Jesus said, "I came in My Father's Name." Then what is the Name of the Father? What is the Name of the Son? And He said, "A little while and the world seeth Me no more, yet ye shall see Me." He's come in the form of the Holy Ghost, the same Jesus. That was the reason they was worshipping, "O Jesus." See, see? Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: It's the Lord Jesus Christ. That's all. "I come in My Father's Name, and you received Me not." “Seven Compound Redemptive Names”
BELIEVING
GOD JEFF IN 52-0224
123
Jehovah-jireh, which was God's first redemptive Name. "Jehovah-jireh"
means "the Lord will provide a sacrifice." Now, He was Jehovah-jireh; He was Jehovah-rapha,
nissi, and on down like that. He had seven compound redemptive Names. And
substitutionary to a human life took a lamb and offered it up as the provided
sacrifice, that in Isaac all the nations would be blessed, and through Isaac
came out Christ. "And we being dead in Christ, take on Abraham's Seed and
are heirs according to the promise." There you are. And that brings, not in
our bodies; we are Gentiles in our bodies; we're sinners in our bodies. But in
our souls, being borned again with the same spirit was upon faithful Abraham,
that strain down in there makes us want to trust God, but the body gets scared.
Oh, if we're the children of Abraham, let's be as father Abraham was. “El Shaddai”
MELCHISEDEC THE GREAT PRINCE
JEFF IN 55-0109M E-23
Abraham was an old man, a hundred years old, when God appeared to him in
the Name of Almighty God. The "Almighty" there comes from the Hebrew
word of the "El Shaddai" which means the bosom or breast
of a woman. Now, he was old; his strength was gone. But El Shaddai is the
Almighty, the strength Giver. And all Abraham had to do to obtain
this promise was lay right on that promise, other words, like the baby to it's
mother, and nurse from the mother, strength for the baby. And we do the same thing when we come to God and see
His promise. We just lay right to Him and draw from His Word the strength of
God, given in its course, not taking our own mind; just believing it.
"After He had endured, he obtained the promise." Oh, I just love that! “Before Abraham Was, I Am”

Then one day He had--He'd... That's what the Jews thought. That's the way
He made Himself known to the Jews. How many knows that's the Scripture? All
right. Now, if He made Hisself known to the Jews, that was Jesus yesterday with
the Jews. Now, you said, "The Samaritans was looking for Him to come."
Yes, they were, but not the Gentiles, just the Samaritans. And when He first met the Samaritans... He had need
to go by Samaria, and He stopped and sent His disciples away for food about
twelve o'clock; He set down on the well. Out come a woman, started... Now, we
know her in this land to be a woman of ill-fame, a street lady, you know,
prostitute. And so, she come out, and started to let the bucket down in the well
to get some water, and she heard a voice saying, "Woman, bring Me a
drink." And she looked around, and there set a middle-aged Jew. He was only thirty something, but the Bible said He
looked fifty. They said, "You're a man not over fifty years old and said
you seen Abraham." He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM."
He must've looked kind of old because of His work, His human body. “The Lord of Hosts”

After He got out of sight of these earthbound people, I can see Him turn
His back then to the earth, start marching on, the Old Testament saints coming
with Him. Oh, my, they passed the moon. They passed the sun. They passed the
highest star. Hallelujah. I can see them coming in sight of the great pearly
white City. I can hear the Old Testament saints saying, "Lift up, ye
everlasting gates, and be ye lifted up, and let the Prince of glory come
in." Hallelujah, glory. I
can hear the angels on the inside of the wall say, "Who is this Prince of
glory? I can hear the Old Testament saints, "The
Lord of Hosts, mighty in battle." And they press the button for the
gates to swing open. Here comes Jesus right down the street, the Conqueror with
all of His tribes. Hallelujah. Victor, He led captive captive and give gifts to
men. Right down the streets of the Old Test--of the New Jerusalem, walked right
up in the Presence of the Father, said, "Father, here they are. They died
in good faith, waiting for My blood." He said, "Climb up here, Son, set on My right
hand, until I make all Your foes Your footstool." You think I'm crazy, don't you? If I'm crazy, let me alone; I'm happy this a way. I tell you, brother, it's something that'll make the saints of the living God... Make my foes a footstool. “Jesus Becomes the

"He that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." God, may every individual here go home tonight with
this on their mind, thinking of, "What a Sacrifice. What did it cost to
redeem? What did it cost God?" Never cost us nothing. It cost God His Son.
It cost God the greatest price. It cost Christ His life. He was the Rose
of Sharon; but to get the perfume out of a rose, you have to crush it
up. His beautiful life was crushed at a young Man of thirty-three and a half
years, that we might live. Nearer, my God, to Thee. Stay near me, Lord. Stay near me. And when I come to the end of this road, my life is finishing, Lord, may He, Who died there, come near me then. May every one in here be likewise. “Alpha

076 "In the
Spirit on the Lord's day..." Now, we hear it. Now, what? And what was he
done? He was transferred from the isle now, in the Spirit, over into the Lord's
day. And as soon as he got over into the Lord's day, he heard a trumpet. What is
it? It's Somebody approaching. A great One's approaching. Trumpet sounds,
Somebody's coming. He looked. Hallelujah. ... trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the
last:... (Hm. Not announcement of the second party, or the third party,
but the only party. "I'm both Alpha and Omega; before I show you anything,
I want to let you know Who I am." Amen.) The greatest of all the revelations is the Deity, the Supreme Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. You can't get to first base until you believe that, walk out... That's what Peter said, "Repent, and then see the Deity. Be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and then you're ready to go in the Spirit." The first thing you have to know is the Deity of Christ. "I am Alpha and Omega. I'm from A to Z; there's no more but Me. I was at the beginning; I'll be at the end. I'm He that was, which is, and shall come, the Almighty." Think of it. That's what the trumpet said. |
