God has many names, throughout the Bible theses names are revealed as well as their powerful meaning.
In the hardest times of my life while walking in Christ somehow I always gained a new understanding of God.
Every time I thought that it was all over or that he had forgotten me he always showed up.
I began to understand that I needed to grow in deeper relationship with God.
Understanding the character of God who he is as the Bible tells us is critical to getting through every situation you will come across.
God has many names here are just 11 of of his names and their meaning.
My hope is that as you learn his names and their meanings you will be able to see what he will do through you, for you, and for those around you.

There is power in the Names of God
These are only some of the names of God but i hope like me it has impacted you.
The journey of understanding how God works in our life’s is exactly that, a journey a process that never ends.
I find it so powerful the names of God have profound meanings of who he is. It shows me just how special we are to God.
In his word he has intentionally placed so many tools and things all so that we may know him, find the connection from our hearts to his.
He is detailed and so profound.
As i studied these names i began to think of all the parts of him i have experienced through the seasons.
Take some time right now, browse through Names of God – and their meanings. Which parts of God have you experienced?
The most special one for me is “ABBA” which means father, i hold this one so dear to my heart.
I grew up without a consistent father figure in my life. When i was a young adult he passed away. Originally it was something that had such a huge effect on my life and the choices i made.
It was something i thought i could never heal from, a void that could never be filled.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Only months into giving my life to christ God began a works in me through this specific wound. I wont lie to you and tell you it was easy, at first I didn’t understand and i thought he was allowing pain into my life because he didn’t care.
Boy, was i wrong! See what the enemy meant for evil he turns for the good.
As he began to peel the layers, he led me to forgiveness for my worldly father.
When i forgave ABBA began to fill my heart, and miraculously every pain I felt from being fatherless now was filled. I can now say i feel as though i have always had a father.
My heart feels full and complete by his love, the memories of that pain have faded. In this area he has made my heart whole.
A Beautiful Relationship
That very experience showed me the power of God, but most importantly the depth of his love for me.
There’s is a power that is released when we surrender to Gods will. Experiencing every part of who he is, is like finally experiencing the feeling of living in your calling. No confusion, just full understanding of who you are.
Because we were created for such a relationship and love like this!
