The Jehovah Names of God
Your view of God either is going to strengthen your faith or cause you uncertainty.
As a worship leader it has become more and more evident to me that you cannot worship The Lord if you do not know Him. Knowing Him is and should be the life long pursuit of every believer and the best way to get to know Him is to read and study what He has said about Himself.
Here’s a list I’ve compiled over the years of “Jehovah Names.” As you read and meditate on each one stop and allow His Spirit to show you how He has revealed each one to you personally.

Thank you.

[...] who God is and all that His name means (all of his names) can really change your perception of Him. It will change your prayer life. It will increase [...]
I have been making a study on the Names of G-d and I am amazed and confused at the differences that people have, some say 72, others 12, still others 10…which is correct?
How many names are there? everyone says something different!
Great question, Suzanne! Honestly I haven’t yet found an end to His Names in Scripture. Since this is an on-going passion of mine I intend to discover each and every one, in His time. In the meantime, it is possible that the reason there are different conclusions is perhaps, that they base their lists on particulars like titles or Names of Jesus, Jehovah or God, etc.
Wonderful. May God bless you and thousands through you.
Thank you for the Jehovah names I’ve been wanting a list now for 5 or 6 years cz-ATL
Well Praise God for a great job…its very good to know the different names of God and their meanings. Keep up the awesome job.

Great Work – May the Lord Bless you big – Chris from Malindi Kenya
i learnt at a very young age in ghana the 10 Names of God and i have never forgotten them evensince. God bless you dearly for the xtra names you have provided. cliff, USA
This is so enlightening. I didn’t even know there was an official number of names for our Father. To me, so long as a cited name is supported by Scripture, it will do. Thanks and God bless you abundantly.
Hello Alesi!
Actually, I’m not even sure there is an official number of names for our Father. I’ve only listed the few that I’m familiar with.
God bless you as you search His names in Scripture and learn of Him!
I think that it is a priveledge to be able to call upon the Lord and to enter His presence with praise and thanksgiving.
It is and honor to speak his name. The revelation of his various names brings joy and gratitude to my soul. Thank you and Bless you for your efforts! {motherofseven}
I’ve been a christian (born again) for 8/9years now and some days ago, i realised i didn’t even remember the meanings of the names of God; Jehovah that i thot i knew.

Wow wat a blessing may God continue to inspire you and to fill you with wisdom as you search the scriptures
You gave me my first love for all the names of God. He is Mighty and worthy to be praised. I thank God and you. Blessing, Christy
Christy, it has been my joy over the past 12 years to introduce people to their God. Thank you for sharing here and reminding me how precious and eternal it is to share His beauty with others. It is my hope that you will carry the torch and pass on what you have learned. His Name is truly Wonderful!
There is a Jehovah name for “God is My Breakthrough”
I am trying to find the proper spelling of it.
It sounds like Jehovah Parazism. Can you help me find the proper spelling? Thank You!
Here’s what I discovered:
2 Samuel 5:20 So David came to Baal-perazim and defeated them there; and he said, “The LORD has broken through my enemies before me like the breakthrough of waters.” Therefore he named that place Baal-perazim.
The LORD had worked on King David’s behalf and defeated the Philistines. This name for the Lord God reflects what King David said after what happened at Mt. Perazim. “The LORD has broken through (Jehovah Perazim) my enemies before me like the breakthrough of waters.”
I have not, however, concluded whether this is an accurate translation of the original text. Putting Jehovah and Perazim together as in other Jehovah names in Scripture. As good Bereans, that will require some study on our parts to find whether these things are so…

May Jehovah Shalom bless you mightily. I love the Lord and only want others to love Him even more than I do. Every thing we learn of Him just brings us closer to Him. Thank you for aiding in our closer walk.
Thank you, Johnnie Mae, and thanks for the prayer of blessing! May His Name be magnified and glorified in your life!
Thank you for the Jehovah names and for sharing with others, I only knew a few. Reading through the names and meanings shows what an awesome God He is! Is there no Jehovah name which means the ‘Lord who sees”? I am not sure but I associate it with Hagar, Sarah’s maid when she said ‘You are the God who sees” in Gen 16 v13.
Your research is great and may God continue to inspire you and reveal more of Himself to you.
I believe you are referring to El Roi, also one of the names describing The LORD. You can find a wonderfully produced article at PreceptAustin.com. Enjoy! and many, many blessings to you.
tHANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SUCH AN EYE OPENER ON THE NAMES OF OUR GOD. MY SPIRIT REJOICES AT SUCH KNOWLEDGE AND I CAN FEEL THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVE IN ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH , MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT CONTINUE TO REVEAL THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM. GOD BLESS
