Yahweh-Sabaoth

   “Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” (1 Samuel 17:45)

Facing the Philistine army, the Israelites were terrified and demoralized as each day, the giant Goliath hurled insults at them and their God. He challenged them to find a champion who would fight him—winner take all. No one dared to confront Goliath. But then David, a small shepherd boy, stepped forward. He would fight Goliath in the name of Jehovah-Sabaoth. David was confident that “the Lord of hosts” would conquer the giant and deliver Israel from the Philistines. He shot a stone from his sling and Goliath came crashing down.

  igive thanks to Yahweh-Sabaoth

 “Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6)  Thank Yahweh-Sabaoth that our salvation is beautifully worked by His "Spirit, says the LORD of hosts."  It is from Him, through Him and to Him...to God be the glory!

ipraise Yahweh-Sabaoth

In Isaiah chapter 6, seraphim were positioned around the throne, together crying “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!” Isaiah’s reaction was one of awe, humility and repentance. Beholding Yahweh-Sabaoth in heaven, the prophet cried, “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips”.  The glorious truth we learn in John 12:41is that the One Isaiah saw on the throne was Jesus!  Beholding Yahweh Isaiah immediately became aware of the vast gap that exists between any human being and God. We are in His image, yet God remains inscrutably different from and greater than us.  All of the worlds religions reflect mans efforts to reach God...the glorious truth of Christianity is that God put on a breathtaking display that HE DID IT ALL in the person of Jesus Christ.  As Jesus died on the cross He said it is finished, He completed the work the Father sent Him to do.  When your Heavenly Father looks at you He sees the righteousness of His only Begotten.  Jesus was rejected so that we could be wonderfully accepted by our Abba, our Father.  Come to the Father through Jesus!
ipray to Yahweh-Sabaoth

“Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.” (Psalm 20:7)     “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.” (Proverbs 18:10)  “For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”” (Romans 10:13)

Each name that God the Father gives us, His children reveals more of who He is to us, to His children.  It is breath taking that the Great "I AM" want us, His children to know Him intimately!  HE is Yahweh, Jireh, Nissi, Sabaoth and much much more!  When you behold HIM, if you behold Him there is only one response...WORSHIP!  One beautiful aspect to this is that to WORSHIP is not received like a command but a response the same way that Isaiah responded to seeing Jesus on HIS throne high and lifted up.  Worship the King in all HIS glory!

Pursuing HIM together!
