Along with many names to show His character, God is Yahweh Rapha, or Yahweh Ropa eka, “The Lord Who Heals.” He is The Great Physician. He heals physically sometimes, and often He heals spiritually if we cry out to Him.

God’s Name: El Shaddai, God Almighty
God Almighty. The mighty name of God. He is the Sovereign Lord. The ruler of the universe. There is no other god but Him. He is El Shaddai. In Greek the word is Theos Pantokrator, a word used for God the Father and Jesus Christ. He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. The name that is above all names.

When God was asked His name, He said, “Yahweh.” What does that mean?

Who we are in Christ. That is a question many of us ask ourselves and if we remember this, we would not have the fear, doubt, shame, anxiety or lack of confidence that we often do. We would have the fruit of the Spirit…love, joy, peace…we would remember the hope that is in us. We would be encouraged knowing that we are His children, and we would have boldness to share with others so that they can have what we have. God gave us a gift, not only in the life to come but in the life we have now.
