There's a song by Tasha Cobbs entitled; "He knows My Name".
*Sis. Kimberly Brown sings that song with immeasurable passion; as though she gave birth to the song.* Watch out, Tasha Cobbs!*
Lol
GOD Knows (MY) Name
What a comforting thought! Out of all the people in world; God knows MY Name! Out of all the stars and planets in the universe; God knows MY Name, He knows ME. Out of all the animals upon younders hills and the deep forest; God knows MY Name! The scriptures are filled with God calling people by their names. He called some by name twice; Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Samuel, Martha, Simon, My God and Saul. Not once but twice he called their names in each instance. Tonight, God calls Hagar by name. He knew her Name. She doesn't know His Name but He knows her Name. Think about how important we feel, when (so called) important people call us by name. Imagine; the God of the universe calling us by Name.
What Does it mean? My Name is the sum total of who I am. I am not a number...I am not a meaningless symbol. I am God's own. I am His (FRIEND.) I am known by the Most High! I am (His) and He is (mine.) He who occupies heaven's throne, knows My Name. To know a Name is to know (ALL) about the person. He knows My Name. He knows the good and the bad equally. He sees my mind immediately at all times; (like right NOW). He knows my thoughts before their manifestation. He knows the denying Peters and the kissing Judas Iscariots.
I. God Knows YOU.
He knows YOU apart from everyone else. He knows YOU apart from everyone else with the same name. He knows you incomparably. No one knows you like God does.
He knew me as Rodney before conception. Before my mother named me, He knew My Name. Before My Name was written on my birth certificate, He knew My Name. Before My Mother was born, He knew My Name. He knew the name she thought about giving me before naming me. (Lol)
II. God Knows YOU Absolutely.
He knew you too, from your mother's womb. He knows your thoughts. He knows your deeds. He knows your hurts. He knows your weakness. He knows your sickness. He knows your circumstances. He knows your downsitting and your uprising. He knows YOU. Tonight; God knows our Name.
III. God Knows Where You Are At All Times.
Hagar was sent away by Sarai but not beyond the all seeing eyes of God. Hagar declared; God sees Me. Her value jumped up immediately. She was cast aside by Sarai and Abram as a nobody. But God knew her Name. To God Hagar was somebody. You may be down tonight but God knows your name. You may be abused and refused but God knows your Name.
IV. God Calls Us By Our Name.
Hagar was evicted and unemployed. Hagar was impregnated by Abram and thrown aside by Sarai. Hagar was broken by a conspiracy between a husband and a barren woman. Hagar was hurting and helpless with no solution in sight. There was no "Alpha Daughters" to help. Hagar was setup by Sarai and used up by Abram. Hagar fell out of favor with the woman who asked her for a sexual favor. But God called her by Name. God will meet you where you end up and He will call you by name.
V. God Knows Your Name. Do you Know His Name?
Is is (amazing) that God knows My Name. But it's (SALVATION) when I know His Name. There's no other Name given whereby men can be saved. His Name is a saving name. His Name is a prayer endorsing Name. His Name is a healing Name. His Name is a soothing Name. His Name is a powerful Name. His Name is Demon scaring Name. His Name is sin remitting Name. His Name is a Death Conquering Name. His name is a present refuge name. His Name is a God given Name. His Name is a Praise Worthy Name. I dare you, Praise His Name right Now!
VI. One Day God Will Call Our Name to Enter Our Heavenly Home, If the Rapture Doesn't Come First!
He called dead Lazarus and he got up from the dead. If the Rapture comes first, He will simply summon the dead in Christ. No need to call name then, His Sheep will arise to His voice.
VII. I Know His Name.
All My fears have been hushed because I know His Name. I go to sleep at night remembering that I know His Name. I faced sickness knowing that I knew His Name. I will die peacefully one day, because I know His Name.
Conclusion:
Isn't it an AMAZING thought? The GOD of the UNIVERSE KNOWS MY NAME! At the point of death, when faced with Mt. Nebo, my late Pastor said; "son, I am waiting on the Lord, He knows where I am." In other words; God knew his Name and he knew God's Name." What a way go out!
