These names help us to realize the God who created the world from the beginning (Genesis 1:1). It also helps us to understand everything that God is that we could never be for ourselves. We as humans or as earthen vessels which is just dust of the earth (Genesis 2:7), we could never come close to doing the things that God does for us. We know their are rulers of the world and kings and presidents, but even with the earthly superficial power they have they still can't do all the things God can do. These names reveal to us that God is also EVERYTHING WE NEED. God shows us that no matter where we are in life, or no matter what circumstances we are in, his power reaches to all facets of our life and even things we cannot see.
1.El Shaddai (Lord God Almighty)- He is all powerful and no one can ever surpass his power 2.El Elyon (The Most High God)- He has a name that is above all names! There is no name on earth that is greater than his name. We know the different names as in Confucius, Buddha, Muhammad, etc. BUT his Name is Greater than all of those names. 3.Adonai- I love all his names but I just love saying this one. He is a master above all masters! 4.Yahweh- Jesus!!!!! 5.Jehovah Nissi- The Lord is my blood stained banner and he avenges all of the ones that do us wrong. 6.Jehovah-Raah- He is a great shepherd and he knows how to guide us and lead us. 7.Jehovah Rapha- Isaiah 53:5 8.Jehovah Shammah- God is every where and any where because he is omnipresent! 9.Jehovah Tsidkenu- The Lord is RIGHT! There is nothing wrong about him, even when we are wrong sometimes and we get out of order, God still is right! 10.Jehovah Mekoddishkem- He sanctifies his sheep, he seperates us and keeps us clean and washed so that we may fulfill the work of the Lord. God is the only one that can sanctify us, not nobody else. 11.El Olam- God will be God forever and that will never change. He was God 4000 years ago, he is God now, and he will be God after we die. 12.Qanna- He is a jealous God and he doesn't want no other idols before him. 13.Jehovah Jireh- The Lord will provide. My God shall supply (Philippians 4:19) 14.Jehovah Shalom- God will gives us peace no matter what we go through, he is the peace!! 15.Jehovah Sabaoth- There is a rank and order in Heaven, but God is the commanding officer and he is in charge of dispatching Angels. He has to give the command on everything!! Nothing goes on in Heaven without he approval or his permission.
