Walking with God is an adventure of the likes you cannot describe to people who want to do life on their own, rather than with the Lord. He is so much fun to be around, always sharing His thoughts, His desires, what He is doing with those who are wanting to hear. He loves His people more than we know and He loves to talk to us, if only we loved to listen.

I am reading the book of Exodus right now and the timing of this book is profound to me in what the Lord is saying. The truths in this ancient story are relevant in our current reality. What we read on the surface carries so much more truth, if only we knew how to mine it.

Exodus 6:2-3 says, “God also said to Moses, “I am the LORD. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD I did not make myself fully known to them.”

Two names for God for two distinctly similar but different seasons in history. God Almighty or El Shaddai is who Abraham, Isaac and Jacob knew. The God who makes promises. He promised Abraham land, Isaac descendants and Jacob national blessings. El Shaddai is the promise making God.

Hebrews 11:13 says, “All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.” El Shaddai the promise keeping God.

Now here is Moses and God says I am going to reveal myself to you as the LORD (YHWH – the finisher). What was promised to the patriarchs was experienced by the Israelites with Moses. They entered the promised land, they walked through the Red Sea, the saw the 10 plagues, they multiplied greatly with descendents, they experienced national blessing. All the works of YHWH, the LORD.

Friends, we are of the generation that knows YHWH – The LORD – The Finisher. We get to experiences His promises not just hear about them. He is fully known to us. Jesus said, “It is finished!” I pray you know the LORD, the one who finishes what He starts. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
