THE BREATH…

“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” —Genesis 2:7

THE NAME…

Jehovah = “the Self Existent or Eternal” Jewish national name of God:—Jehovah, the Lord.

God has always initiated revelation and relationship with us. He is the self-disclosing One.

Gen 3:9; Judges 6:12; Luke 1:28; Matthew 14:27

Whenever Jehovah/Yahweh showed up… something or someone had to change.

God said, “I am the Lord, I change not.” —Malachi 3:6

• Who has to change? What has to change?

Revelation from God requires a response from us.

Let’s Talk About It

God has always initiated revelation and relationship with us. Whenever Jehovah/Yahweh showed up… something or someone had to change. Revelation from God requires a response from us. As we begin 2021, seek God first daily and join us for Prayer & Fasting Week. When we take intentional steps towards being in His presence daily, God begins to reveal more of Himself to us and the mission that He calls us to accomplish. Rely on God as you pray and take steps towards being who God has called you to be and doing what He calls you to do this 2021.

Exodus 3:1-15

• Which part of the message made an impact, caught your attention or challenged you?

• As you reflect on 2020, what kind of person were you becoming? Was there an area of your life that you felt inadequate or unsure of yourself? Did you turn to God in those moments, what was the outcome? If you did not, what was the outcome? What kind of person do you think God would like you to become in 2021? What steps can you take this year to change?

• Was there anything that you wanted to do or accomplish in 2020, but was either postponed or canceled? What practical steps can you take in 2021 to see that happen?

• How does knowing that the Lord is with you, strengthen you for any mission He assigns you this year?

Take a Step

• Ask God to speak to you as read your Bible daily. Ask Him to reveal to you who He’d like for you to become and what He’d like for you to do this year. Pray that you will rely on God as you take those steps.

• You are my Lord and I submit to your rule over my life because I know you are good and have the best interest for my life. May you forgive me for the times last year that I did not turn to you in my inadequacies and insecurities. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and cleansing me of all unrighteousness. I submit my life to you and your calling for me in 2021. Help me Lord to become the person you want me to be and accomplish what you have me do this year. In Jesus name. Amen!
