The Name of The LORD
by Ps Samuel Hari

1 Chr 7:12-16
V12-God desires a House of Sacrifice.
V13-three things that is essential for every believer-an open heaven, blessing and healing upon our land (the works of our hands) and physical healing.
V14-conditions for V12 and V13
God’s Name is only upon a House of Sacrifice.


Heb 13:15:Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

We are the house of sacrifice in the NT. No longer the sacrifices of bull and goats but to offer the sacrifices of praise which is the crucifying of self.

Names are important in the OT as it speaks of the destiny, calling. Gen 29: 32 -35

Change of Name means a change of personality/call.

1. Simon changed to Peter. (Mt 16:17,18)
2. Saul changed to Paul (Acts 13:9)
3. Jacob changed to Israel. (Gen 32:28)
4. Abram changed to Abraham. (Gen 17:5)
   
   

So we can conclude that in the Name of God are the personality, character and attributes of God.

1) There is IDENTIFICATION in the Name of the LORD (Gen 4:26;Jn 1:12)
(1) then began men to call themselves by the name of the Lord (marg.) i.e., to distinguish themselves thereby from idolaters; or
(2) then men in some public and earnest way began to call upon the Lord, indicating a time of spiritual revival.

2) There is PROTECTION in the Name of the LORD (Pro 18:10)

3) There is PROVISION in the Name of the LORD (John 14:13)

4) There is SALVATION in the Name of the LORD (John 12.32; John 1:12; Rom 10:9 -11)

a) There is HEALING AND WHOLENESS in the Name of the LORD (Acts 3:16)

b) There is POWER, BOLDNESS in the Name of the LORD (Acts 4: 7 -13)

5) There is VICTORY in the Name of the LORD (1 Sam 17:45)



The Name of the LORD is above every other name! (Phil 2: 9 -11)
