He Knows My Name

“A good name is better than precious ointment and perfume.” (Eccles. 7:1)

! By your and your .

1. What’s in a ?

“So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, ‘Let me go, for it is daybreak.’ But Jacob replied, ‘I will not let you go unless you bless me.’ The man asked him, ‘?’ ‘Jacob,’ he answered. Then the man said, ‘Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.’” (Gen. 32:24-28)

God is calling us into the struggle. Not to run from it; but to persevere, and through Him … we will overcome!

1. What’s Your ?

“A good name is to be chosen, rather than great riches.” (Proverbs 22:1)

A Good Name is Chosen.

A. What You Can You

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Rom. 12:2)

“For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.” (Luke 8:17)

B. What You , Will Dictate What You !

1. Your Name is – of the

“I say … You are all children of the Most-High.” (Ps. 82:6)

Who you are should and will determine what you do.

You can teach what you know, embody what you see, but .

1) Who are you in your heart?

2) Your studying incarnates in you the Lord’s DNA.

3) You will revert and respond with who you are.

Not what you did, but what you are doing

Not where you were, but where you’re going

Not who you were, but who you are becoming

Not where you are, but where God will take you

Who you were … what you did … does not define your future.

Jesus defines your future. He knows your Name. He knows your identity.
