How do we get closer to God?

We must know His heart.

Knowing God intimately by understanding His names is how we stay focused on Jesus.

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, (Philippians 2:9, NIV)

As you know Jesus better, you cannot help but love Him more deeply.

In the Bible, knowing someone is the highest form of intimacy. Jesus wants us to seek Him as He does with us. It all starts by knowing His precious names.

Study guide

Each week I am going to focus on different names of God, with the meaning of each one, key scriptures, decrees, how-to-steps on creating custom prayer strings, questions to reflect on, and helpful tips.

The first in this study, Know Him and You Will Trust Him, details why it is essential to know God by his names, how this journey began, and tips to help you stay on track.

Here is the first in an eight-article study on the names of Jesus built off His name, I AM, that outlines scripture.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
