Name Dropper | Part 6 | Jehovah Jireh

The name of God was so powerful to the ancient Hebrews that they wouldn’t 
even say it. But through Jesus we’re told, “everyone who calls on the name 
of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13) God’s name brings salvation and 
strength. 

A name dropper is someone who uses another person’s name to get access 
to something they wouldn’t otherwise be able to get. As Christians, we’re 
invited to use God’s names in our time of need.

God is so powerful that He goes by many names: El Shaddai (Almighty), 
Jehovah Shalom (peace), Jehovah Rapha (Our healer) In this series, we’ll look at 
the power of calling on God’s many names and attributes to face the 
challenges of life.

SERMON NOTES

NAME DROPPER | Part 6 | Marcus Avalos 

JEHOVAH JIREH – Jehovah WILL SEE (to it) and PROVIDE
• Today version of: “I GOT YOU”

George Muller – MY LORD Is Not Limited; He Can AGAIN SUPPY
Message Title: JEHOVAH JIREH

Genesis 22:4-5 – The Original Promise
1 Now it came to pass after these things, God tested Abraham. God said,
“Abraham!” “Yes?” answered Abraham. “I’m listening.” 2 He said, “Take
your dear son Isaac whom you love and go to the land of Moriah.
Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I’ll
point out to you.”

WHEN GOD WANTS TO REVEAL HIS NAME, HE LEADS YOU TO
CONTRADICTING PLACES.

Is 1:19 - If you are willing and obedient You shall eat the good of the land.

C.S. LEWIS
"There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”

3-5 Abraham got up early in the morning (so Sarai couldn’t investigate)
and saddled his donkey. He took two of his young servants and his son
Isaac. He had split wood for the burnt offering. He set out for the place God
had directed him. On the third day he looked up and saw the place in the
distance. Abraham told his two young servants, “Stay here with the donkey.
The boy and I are going over there to worship; then we’ll come back to
you."

• YOU CAN STILL WORSHIP & OBEY, EVEN THOUGH YOU DON’T
UNDERSTAND.

Hebrews 11:19 Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was able to
bring him back to life again. And in a sense, Abraham did receive his son
back from the dead.

6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and gave it to Isaac his son
to carry. He carried the flint and the knife. The two of them went off
together. 7 Isaac said to Abraham his father, “Father?” “Yes, my son.” “We
have flint and wood, but where’s the sheep for the burnt offering?”

8 Abraham said, “Son, God will see to it that there’s a Lamb for the burnt
offering.” And they kept on walking together.

9-10 They arrived at the place to which God had directed him. Abraham
built an altar. He laid out the wood. Then he tied up Isaac and laid him on
the wood. Abraham reached out and took the knife to kill his son. 11 Just
then an angel of GOD called to him out of Heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Yes, I’m listening.” 12 “Don’t lay a hand on that boy! Don’t touch him!
Now I know how fearlessly you fear God; you didn’t hesitate to place
your son, your dear son, on the altar for me.”

Hebrews 4:15 - This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses,
because he faced all of the same testing’s we do, yet he did not sin.

John 14:21 Those who truly love me are those who obey my commands.
Whoever passionately loves me will be passionately loved by my Father. And I
will passionately love you in return and will manifest my life within you.”

SO OFTEN GOD WILL TEST YOUR LOVE FOR HIM BY CALLING FOR
YOUR ISAAC.

JOEL: “ugh! more sacrifice? why does God keep asking me to let
go/surrender things I want and love. Even stuff he gave me.

Conclusion: He wants to show you that HE IS YOUR FULFILLMENT of
what you need, not the things that HE has given you.

LETTING GO OF ISAAC
– is not like “letting go of a steering wheel. Like Jesus take the wheel. It’s
more like LETTING GO OF YOUR STEERING WILL.”

13 Abraham looked up. He saw a ram caught by its horns in the thicket.
Abraham took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his
son. 14 Abraham named that place GOD-Yireh (GOD-Sees-to-It and
provides)as it is said to this day, "In the Mount of the LORD it shall be
provided."

JIREH – GOD SEES TO IT and PROVIDES
• GODS PRE-VISION leads Him make PROVISION

SECRET TO YOUR PROVISION:
• God is WAITING for us to STOP WAVERING

DONT DELAY GODS PROVISION
BY WAVERING IN YOUR COMMITTMENT

YOU ARE NOT WAITING ON GOD; GOD IS WAITING ON YOU

TAKE HOME:

1. DON’T BE A PART TIME CHRISTIAN WANTING A FULL TIME
PROMISE. GO ALL IN.

2. SACRIFICE YOUR ISAAC – His revealed name as JIREH IS WORTH
LETTING GO.

3. BONUS GROUP STUDY: study the similarities of Jesus
redemption story and this story of Abraham (Father of faith) and
Isaac (the Son of Promise)
