Names of God Flashcards
El Shaddai
“God all sufficient.” This could be used in unison with Jehovah-Jireh because God supplies all our needs at the prescribed time according to His riches and Glory in Christ.
Jehovah-Nissi
“The Lord our Banner.” This often refers to the banner of God on the battlefield. His banner over us signifies His presence, His power and His provision. Remember Songs 2:4 which refers to His banner over me is love?
Jehovah-Shalom
“The Lord our Peace.” The way we gain God’s peace over our lives is by trusting Christ and obeying His commands, resulting in a ‘wholeness’ in our relationship with God and with others. Sometimes this is called a ‘peace that surpasses all understanding’ (Romans 5:1).
El Elyon
“The most high God.” God is sovereign which means that God is in charge of the entire universe ALL the time. God is so in control of our lives that nothing can happen without His permission (Psalm 57:2). No fortunes, evil dictator’s plans, or worldly circumstances can thwart God’s plans.
