In God's Name
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." [Genesis 1:27]

God recognizes God. When we fill our minds and hearts with His Word in understanding and evoking His Names, we take on His Image; then He can see us. Understand first how humans recognize each other:

First, we see a shape, a physiognomy, a demeanor of humanity, then we recognize intelligence, empathy, emotion. There is no thought, "this must be human." It is second nature to recognize one's kindred being.

When we take on God's Image it is like shining a signal beacon from an island to a rescue ship in the distance. The difference is that God is with Us, Right Now, Every Where, All Around Us - and God Wants to Rescue Us.

For God to Rescue Us, He first has to recognize Us. The only way to do this is to return to His Own Image. We do this by Living through His Word as The Way of Life.

When we return to His Own Image we can reflect a particular Facet of God by Evoking His Name. We shine this signal beacon to God and God Responds in Kind:

Always thank The Lord, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit first before evoking His Name such as with the Lord's Prayer. Your daily ritual must include cleansing breaths to clear the mind and heart of negativity. You can silently repeat a line of scripture during this exercise such as: "The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe" [Proverbs 29:25] and "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" [Psalm 27:1]. Your breaths should be long and deep until you can no longer sense negativity within you.

The evocation of God's Names is meant to put you and your loved ones under the protection and guidance of His Glory. For Example, the Armor of God provides protection. When reciting the prayer you can also silently evoke His Names:

Biblical Names of God

Ya-Waquiyyu:

• The Protector. The One Who watches over and protects all things.

Ya-Waliyyu:

• The Protecting Friend.

Each of God's Names should be imagined as a bright ball of white light which can be breathed in as a cleansing breath. If you or someone you know is ill, then you can ask for God's Grace as The Provider:

Ya-Maliyyu:

• The Provider. The One Who gives Life and Health.

You can treat this name as well as all others as cleansing breaths of bright white light. Remember to always thank The Lord first before evoking His Name such as with the Lord's Prayer because His Help is already there for the asking. His Grace simply needs to be revealed through your evocations.

There are those who have cursed Our Lord for allowing such terribly traumatic events to happen. These people are crying out, "Why me, Lord? Why?!" The Lord cannot help what He does not recognize; this is the reason for not only keeping His Image, but keeping It Well.

Since we live in troubled times because of a traumatised and stressful world it helps to understand why things are happening on a deeper level while helping us to cope with our present situation. We must evoke The Alive One:

Ya-Hayyu:

• The Living. The Ever Living. The One Who knows all things,
  Whose strength is sufficient for everything...

For an example of understanding our present situation, we can compare North America to the Mystery Babylon of Revelation 17 and the Economic Babylon of Revelation 18, whose economy absolutely drives the economies of the world. This is one example of a deeper understanding.

There are 72 known Names of God of which I will share a few of the most important according to Our present crisis. This esoterica is meant for us, so we call upon His Glory in these times of distress. We are meant to be in His Own Image because people with God are truly free. God wants us to be free with truly free wills and freedom to live - responsibly. We Must abide by His Image by evoking His Power:

Yahweh-Nissi: "The Lord is My Banner." Stesses that God is our rallying point and our means of victory. The One Who fights for His People:

"And Moses built an alter, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi." [Exodus 17:15]

Yahweh-Shalom: "The Lord is Peace." Points to the Lord as Our Means of Peace and Rest:

"Then Gideon built an alter there unto the Lord, and called it Jehovah-shalom; unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites." [Judges 6:24]

Yahweh-Sabbaoth: "The Lord of Hosts." A military figure portraying the Lord as the Commander of the Armies of Heaven:

"Then said David to the Philistine, thou comest to me with (a sword, spear, and shield): but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of Hosts, The God of the Armies of Israel, whom thou has defied." [1 Samuel 17:45]

Yahweh-Maccaddeshcem: "The Lord Your Sanctifier." Portrays the Lord as Our Means of Sanctification or as The One Who sets believers apart for His Purpose:

"Speak then also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep for it is a sign between (us) throughout your generations that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth Sanctify you." [Exodus 31:13]

Yahweh-Ro'i: "The Lord My Shepherd." Portrays the Lord as the Shepherd Who cares for His People as a shepherd cares for the sheep of his pasture:

"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." [Psalms 23:1]

Yahweh-Tsidkenu: "The Lord Our Righteousness." Portrays the Lord as Our Means of Righteousness:

"In his days, Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is His Name where by he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." [Jeremiah 23:6]

Jehovah-Maginnemu: "God is a Shield." The Lord Shields Our Souls and our Bodies against evil and harm:

"After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward." [Genesis 15:1]

"But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head." [Psalms 3:3]

"For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield." [Psalms 5:12]

"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him." [Psalms 28:7]

"Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield." [Psalms 33:20]

"The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted." [Psalms 47:9]

"Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield." [Psalms 59:11] (There are many more citings of "the Lord as Our Shield" in Psalms.)

"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him." [Proverbs 30:5]

Meditate on His Names

The best way to become one with a facet of The Lord is through meditation. Remember first to include cleansing breaths to clear your mind and heart of negativity. Meditation on His Names opens your subconscious to focus the Holy Essence of The Lord within your self in the same way you would hold a magnifying glass at the sun's rays to focus its beam on a target. In meditating on His Names, we focus and burn His Bright and Holy Essence onto our souls and mind patterns to forge our lives in the Fire of His Spirit.

Affirmations on His Names throughout the day are excellent for keeping the "heat" within your spiritual crucible containing His Holy Essence.

Always remember to thank God for the Gifts and Glory which (S)He bestows upon us such as with the following:

Pray using this or a similar devotional before beginning as a sign of thankfulness to the Almighty. Remember that all that we need in this life has already been granted to us; it is our duty and privilege to reveal His Gifts to us.

Do Not Misconstrue Meditation

I have already stated at the meditation page that prayer is for asking God for answers or giving thanks while meditation is for receiving guidance; these actions go hand in hand. Unfortunately there are certain "Christians" who claim that meditation opens your mind to "demonic possession." They even claim that hatha yoga activates certain nerve points on the body to turn people into pagans.

While I will not deny that there are people in the world who have succumbed to such things because of their weak constitutions we must also remember that The Lord gave every human in His Own Image a free will, for example:

"according as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will." [Ephesians 1:4-5]

If there is one word that can describe a truly devout, born-again Christian, it's 'UNBREAKABLE.' You Know Why?

And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. [1 Corinthians 9:25]

No matter what disaster or tragedy may befall; No matter paralysis or loss of limbs; No matter what unholy methods of torture or satanic medicine a truly devout, born-again Christian can NEVER BE BROKEN - WE CAN NEVER BE CORRUPTED AS LONG AS WE LIVE BY THE WORD OF GOD.

When you, as an unbreakable Christian, decide to exercise your free will to pray, meditate, twist yourself into some pretzel like yoga position, or even sleep, you know that Jesus Christ was, is, and always will be your Lord and Savior; there is no place for demons or paganism in the unbreakable Christian who lives in the Greater Glory of God. So, when a cretinistic fool says that demons are possessing you because you meditate - just tell him, "I am an unbreakable Christian - How dare you accuse me of being weak?"

Humanity is in a Constant Trance State

Allow me to reiterate the scientific cretinism of labeling meditation as a doorway to satanic influence and pagan ritual: All of humanity slips in and out of a trance state on a regular basis. This is scientific fact. I have talked about this at the meditation page. We slip into a trance state moments before we go to sleep. We slip out of a trance state moments before we wake which includes the REM state. We slip into different trance states when we study, or day dream, or focus on problem solving. Have you ever been disturbed when you were in the middle of reading a book and you found yourself very irritated at that person? You were probably in a trance state of intense focus; this is akin to meditation.

Meditation exercises train us to focus, therefore, gain control of our mental and emotional faculties. A discursive, untrained mind leads to ambiguous and amorphous trance states which tend to be more open to suggestion. In fact, the minds which are more likely to be open to satanic influence are the undisciplined, untrained minds.

There are all kinds of meditation, but the focus of the meditation here is from the Energy Essence or Light of God [Isaiah 60:19-20].

"And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-Sheba, and called thereon the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God." [Genesis 21:33]

The EverLasting Resonates in All of His Names

There is no holy "essence" or Name of God that is more important than the other. Each name is a different facet of His Almighty Personality, 72 of which are written for your convenience. But there is one name in particular of which I feel I must clarify the function:

Ya-Baqiyyu: The EverLasting - He Whose Existence is without End. Like all of His Names you must also understand "Ya-Baqiyyu" from a spiritual perspective rather than a mortal human one, therefore, The EverLasting facet of God is above and beyond any fountain of youth in the physical plane. Ask yourself, "What does it mean to say He Whose Existence is without End?"

First of all, how do we know of God's Existence? Up to this point, We know of His Essence through His Names. Of course, His Complete Existence is beyond human comprehension, but His Essence is not. His Essence is in Holy Scripture; it there for us, the Children of God, to comprehend.

Throughout the entire Holy Bible the word "everlasting" is ubiquitous; it "resonates" through the scripture as a kind of "beacon" or sign from The Lord Our God as an "everlasting" covenant of His Gifts to humanity.

By the same token, every facet of His Essence is EverLasting. Every facet of His Essence is without End. Each Essence is a function of God: Love is a function of God; Life is a function of God; Healing is a function of God, and so on. For example, since we find that God is Merciful, then we know that God's Mercy is without end. In the following passage, Ya-Baqiyyu, The EverLasting resonates within Ya-Rahiem, The Merciful:

For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. [Psalms 100:5]

During meditation, one can breathe in the essence, "Ya-Baqiyyu," while breathing out the essence, "Ya-Rahiem;" this exercise helps to spread the spirit of infinite mercy from Our Creator. This exercise also helps us to dwell on the infinite wisdom and meaning of each passage in Holy Scripture. Meditation on Holy Scripture can also be manifold in function. For example:

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; [Psalms 103:17]

Remember, Yahweh-Tsidkenu: "The Lord Our Righteousness" from above; this essence is resonated last by Ya-Baqiyyu while Ya-Rahiem, the Merciful, is resonated twice.

A four part meditation/breathing exercise that dwells on this passage would consist of the following steps:

The following are a few more passages under which I made comments on how "Ya-Baqiyyu" resonates the other names:

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD. [Psalms 106:48]
  "The Everlasting" resonates "Yehovah," The Harmony of Infinity.

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. [Psalms 112:6] "The Everlasting" resonates Ya-Matinu (the firm) and Yahweh-Tsidkenu; forever a great firmament as a mountain while being remembered forever for righteousness.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth; The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. [Psalms 119:142,144] "The Everlasting" resonates righteousness as law as an everlasting law of life.

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. [Psalms 145:13] "The Everlasting" resonates through Heaven and Earth.

As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. [Proverbs 10:25] "The Everlasting" firmament of truth cannot be broken.

Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: [Isaiah 26:4] "The Everlasting" resonates Yehovah-Gibbor (the Strong God); the Strength from God is everlasting, no one can accuse you of weakness when you have already put your trust and faith in The Lord for everlasting strength.

But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. [Isaiah 45:17] "The Everlasting" resonates the covenant of free will salvation for everlasting life.

Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. [Isaiah 51:11] "The Everlasting" resonates the bliss of those who are redeemed; their joy is forever.

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. [Isaiah 54:8] "Yehovah Makkeh" (the Destroyer) need only occur for a moment while "The Everlasting" resonates Ya-Rahman (the Beneficent) from which comes Ya-Rahiem (the Merciful); His Wrath is but for a moment while His Kindness is forever.

The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory; Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. [Isaiah 60:19-20] As opposed the sun and moon which shines periodically, "The Everlasting" light of God is available to us all the time. We focus this light into ourselves and magnify it upon our souls when we meditate.

That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. [Isaiah 63:12,16] Aside from His Miracles, the name, "Ya-Baqiyyu," is everlasting because it is from the Everlasting God.

But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. [Jeremiah 10:10] The "living God" refers to "Ya-Hayyu," the one who knows all things. "Everlasting King" resonates "Malkut" the kingship on the tree of life upon which God casts ten different aspects. God must lower Himself upon the earthly aspect before exercising His Wrath as "Yehovah Makkeh" (God the Destroyer). The lowest possible earthly aspect for God is as "an everlasting king." The nations to which this passage refers are uncovered in Revelations.

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. [Jeremiah 31:3]

"Ya-Baqiyyu: The Everlasting. He Whose Existence is without end." His Love is "Everlasting," therefore, He allows those who fill themselves with the Holy Spirit to attract His Glory and visa versa.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. [Daniel 12:2]

In ancient times, farmers who toiled over their crops slept next to them to keep a watchful eye - and because they loved the earthly miracle of life; this is part of being an unbreakable Christian: No matter how low your life looks on society's ladder, as long as you have faith in God and thanks for God's Gifts - no matter how small or strange, you are entitled to everlasting life. On the other hand, there are those who curse God and feel shame; some because of their lowly position in life.

He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting. [Habakkuk 3:6] The seemingly everlasting earthly realms are no match for the Grand Designer, who is infinite and mysterious in His Ways.
