He Has a Name 3 The God Who Sees
RECAP
What Jesus calls us defines our purpose, what we call God defines our worship!
Romans 12:1-2
Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? I encourage you to surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.
Call on the name of the lord = worship We can’t worship a God we don’t know!
Definition: “actual release of power so that the accomplishment is assured.”
He is the only God that has the ability to BE and it IS.
He is jealous of our worship because He wants relationship with us!

EL ELYON
Means “God Most High” – El Elyon is a name used through the Old Testament revealing God is above all gods, that nothing in life is more sacred.
The Lord Most High, the One who reigns supreme.
He is greater than any force of darkness in this world,
He is bigger than any problem we might come up against in this life.
In daily life struggles and battles, we sometimes just need to be reminded that God is still in control. He never will lose His power and might, though the world feels dark many days, He has conquered death and sin. He is Mighty. He is Lord. He is exalted over all.
“I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.” Psalm 7:17___________________________________________
EL ROI
“The God Who Sees” –
The kindness and care that this name holds as it points to God’s character.
He is one who chases after us, who follows us with goodness.He is the one who sees us when we feel lonely, all on our own, or when we just need the reminder that God is close.
He is watching over all, that He sees the affairs of people, and knows when we feel lost and unloved.
When Hagar had run away to a desert place far from those she felt hurt and betrayed by, we see God surround her in so much grace and care. He didn’t leave her alone in her troubles.
He will never leave us to fend for ourselves through difficult times.He is always close, that He sees us when we feel that no one else does, and that He cares.
“She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” Genesis 16:13___________________________________________
Matthew 6:8
Don’t be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him!
