God the Father (Elohim / Yahweh)

The titles below represent the foundational character of God as the Law-Giver, Provider, and the Eternal One. But before going into His other titles, we will look at the background of His actual name, which is YHWH (not Jehovah - click to see the other section on that common misconception).

Where in the old testament of the Bible does God say His name is YHWH and I AM?

This revelation is in Exodus 3

When Moses asks God for His name so he can tell the Israelites who sent him, God provides a two-part answer in Exodus 3:14–15:

"I AM" (Exodus 3:14): God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Say this to the people of Israel: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"

Note: In Hebrew, this is Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh (אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה). Lexically, Ehyeh is the first-person form of the verb "to be." It is God’s personal declaration of His own self-existence—He is not dependent on anyone else for His being.

"YHWH" (Exodus 3:15): God also said to Moses, "Say this to the people of Israel: 'The LORD [YHWH], the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations." Side note: Whenever you see "the LORD" in all capital letters in your Bible, it is a translation of YHWH.

The name YHWH (יהוה) is often called the Tetragrammaton (meaning "4 letter name"). It is the third-person form of the same root verb used in "I AM." While Ehyeh means "I AM," Yahweh means "He Is" or "He brings into being."

Yahweh / YHWH (יְהֹוָה): Exodus 3:14-15. The Self-Existent One; You ARE and You bring everything into being. We worship You, the Eternal God who is the source of all life!

The 7 Metaphorical and 5 Absolute "I AM" Statements of Jesus

The 7 Metaphorical "I AM" Statements of Jesus

"I am the Bread of Life" (John 6:35, 48, 51)

This occurs after the feeding of the 5,000. The crowd followed Jesus wanting more physical food, but He redirected their "expectation" toward the spiritual. He explained that just as manna sustained Israel in the wilderness, He is the true sustenance from Heaven. To "eat" this bread means to believe and abide in Him, shifting from a hunger for temporary miracles to a reliance on the Eternal Source.

"I am the Light of the World" (John 8:12; 9:5)

Jesus spoke this during the Feast of Tabernacles, likely near the giant candelabra that illuminated the Temple. Amidst a culture celebrating the pillar of fire that led Israel, Jesus declared Himself the fulfillment of that light. He then physically demonstrated this claim in the next chapter by healing a man born blind, proving that He provides both the "light" of truth and the "sight" of faith.

"I am the Door (or Gate) of the Sheep" (John 10:7, 9)

In a discourse on spiritual authority, Jesus used the imagery of a sheepfold. In the ancient Near East, a shepherd would often sleep across the entrance of the fold, literally becoming the "door." Jesus is teaching that He is the exclusive point of entry for salvation and protection; any other way is the path of a thief. He provides the "safe passage" for the sheep to move from the dangers of the world into the "pasture" of God’s presence.

"I am the Good Shepherd" (John 10:11, 14)

Continuing the sheepfold imagery, Jesus contrasts Himself with "hired hands" who flee when the wolf comes. He emphasizes His intimate knowledge of His sheep (Da’at) and His voluntary sacrifice. This title fulfills the promise of Psalm 23, showing that the Sovereign Lord has come in the flesh to guide, protect, and ultimately lay down His life for His covenant people.

"I am the Resurrection and the Life" (John 11:25)

Spoken to Martha outside the tomb of Lazarus. Martha had a "Not Yet" theology—she believed in a future resurrection. Jesus corrected her by declaring that the Resurrection was standing right in front of her. This is a primary example of the Law of Expectation: Jesus demanded she believe in His current identity as Life itself before He called Lazarus forth from the grave.

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (John 14:6)

At the Last Supper, Thomas asked how they could know the way to where Jesus was going. Jesus responded by declaring Himself the singular path to the Father. Lexically, the use of the definite article () before each noun signifies exclusivity. He is not just a teacher of the way; He is the physical "Highway of Holiness" (Isaiah 35:8) that bridges the gap between God and man.

"I am the True Vine" (John 15:1, 5)

Likely spoken as they walked toward Gethsemane, perhaps passing the golden vine on the Temple gates. Jesus identifies Himself as the source of all spiritual "sap" or vitality. He warns that a branch cannot bear fruit by its own effort—it must abide. This underscores that Persistent Faith is not about trying harder, but about staying connected to the Ego Eimi who produces the fruit through us.

The 5 "Absolute" I AM Declarations of Jesus

These are instances where Jesus uses Egō Eimi without a predicate, claiming the Divine Name of God directly.

To the Samaritan Woman (John 4:26): When she spoke of the coming Messiah, Jesus replied, "I who speak to you, I AM." This was His first clear self-revelation, identifying His "already" presence to a woman looking for a "not yet" Savior.

On the Stormy Sea (John 6:20): As the disciples were terrified by the storm, Jesus walked on the water and said, "I AM; do not be afraid." He was claiming sovereignty over the chaos, reminding them that the Creator of the waves was in their midst.

To the Pharisees (John 8:58): In His most controversial statement, Jesus declared, "Before Abraham was, I AM." The Jews immediately picked up stones to kill Him because they knew He was claiming to be the eternal, self-existent YHWH of the burning bush.

At His Arrest (John 18:5-8): When the soldiers asked for Jesus of Nazareth, He replied, "I AM." The power of the Name was so great that the entire mob "drew back and fell to the ground." Even in His surrender, His Title carried the weight of the universe.

Before the Sanhedrin (Mark 14:62): When asked if He was the Christ, Jesus replied, "I AM," and added that they would see the Son of Man coming on the clouds. This merged His identity as the "I AM" with the Daniel 7 prophecy of the eternal King.

Spirit of Grace and Supplication (רוּחַ חֵן וְתַחֲנוּנִים): Zechariah 12:10. Empowering favor and prayer. We exalt You, the Spirit of Prayer! We praise You for the grace You pour out upon us and the way You help our infirmities, making intercession through us according to the will of God.

Spirit of Burning / Judgment (רוּחַ מִשְׁפָּט וְרוּחַ בָּעֵר): Isaiah 4:4. Purifying and refining the believer. We honor You, the Refining Fire! We praise You for Your work of purification, burning away the dross and refining our character until we reflect the brilliance of the Lord.

The Promise of the Father (ἡ ἐπαγγελία τοῦ πατρός): Acts 1:4. The prophesied gift poured out. We celebrate You, the Promised Gift! We praise You for Your outpouring that has clothed us with power from on high, fulfilling the ancient words and empowering the church for global harvest.

Spirit of Holiness (πνεῦμα ἁγιωσύνης): Romans 1:4. Empowering resurrection and separation. We worship You, the Spirit of Holiness! We praise You for the power that raised Jesus from the dead and for the sanctification You work in us, marking us as the property of the Living God.

The 7-Fold Nature of the Holy Spirit as Prophesied in Isaiah 11:2

Spirit of Wisdom (רוּחַ חָכְמָה - Ruach Chokmah) *also in Ephesians 1:17.

Lexical Nuance: In the Hebrew lexicon, Chokmah is more than intellectual "smarts"; it refers to skill, craftsmanship, and the ability to produce a desired result. It is the same word used for the artisans who built the Tabernacle. In the Greek (Sophia), it implies the deep insight into the true nature of things.

Application: Wisdom is the "applied knowledge" of the Kingdom. It is the Spirit giving you the "know-how" to navigate the "Not Yet" season. When the disciples in Matthew 17 failed, they had the authority, but they lacked the Chokmah—the spiritual skill—to apply their faith effectively against that specific kind of stubborn spirit.

Spirit of Divine Skill and Craftsmanship - We praise You, the Master Architect! We exalt You for granting us the skill to build our lives upon the Word, skillfully navigating every season with Your supernatural insight.

Spirit of Understanding (רוּחַ בִּינָה - Ruach Binah)

Lexical Nuance: Binah comes from the root biyn, which means "to separate" or "to distinguish." It is the faculty of discernment—the ability to see between the lines. It is the power to look at a chaotic situation and discern exactly what God is doing in the midst of it.

Application: This is crucial for the Law of Expectation. Understanding allows you to look at a body that is still showing symptoms and "separate" the temporary physical fact from the eternal spiritual truth. Like Abraham, who "understood" that God was able to raise Isaac even from the dead (Hebrews 11:19), this Spirit allows you to stay grounded in God's promise when your senses are telling you otherwise.

Spirit of Perfect Discernment and Insight - We worship You, the One who reveals the deep things of God! We praise You for the clarity to distinguish truth from error and for the spiritual eyes to see Your hand moving in our lives.

Spirit of Counsel (רוּחַ עֵצָה - Ruach Etzah)

Lexical Nuance: Etzah refers to advice, deliberation, or a "plan of action." In a royal court, the Etzah was the strategy given to a King before going to war.

Application: The Spirit doesn’t just offer "suggestions"; He provides the divine blueprint. When you are in the "Not Yet" phase of a miracle, the Spirit of Counsel gives you the specific instructions (the "Expectation") needed to move into the "Already done."

Spirit of Divine Strategy and Plan - We exalt You, our Great Counselor! We praise You for the divine blueprints You provide, guiding our every step and ensuring that our lives align with the perfect will of the Father.

Spirit of Might (רוּחַ גְּבוּרָה - Ruach Geburah)

Lexical Nuance: Geburah is a warrior term meaning strength, bravery, or "mighty acts." It is the same root used for the Gibborim (mighty men of valor).

Application: If Counsel is the "plan," Might is the execution. This is the power the disciples lacked in Matthew 17—not because the Spirit was absent, but because their wavering expectation blocked the manifestation of Geburah.

Spirit of Supernatural Strength and Valor - We glorify You, the Spirit of Power! We praise You for the warrior-strength You impart to us, making us bold in our witness and triumphant over every work of the enemy.

Spirit of Knowledge (רוּחַ דַּעַת - Ruach Da’at)

Lexical Nuance: Da’at is not merely intellectual information; it is experiential intimacy. It is the same word used when a man "knows" his wife.

Application: This Spirit allows you to "know" God’s will so intimately that you are no longer guessing. Like Abraham, who "knew" God’s promise so deeply he was able to hope against hope, the Spirit of Knowledge grounds your faith in reality, not just wishful thinking.

Spirit of Experiential Intimacy with God - We honor You, the Spirit who reveals the Father’s heart! We praise You for the gift of knowing God intimately, moving beyond information into a deep, relational encounter with the Living God.

Spirit of the Fear of the Lord (רוּחַ יִרְאַת יְהֹוָה - Ruach Yirat Yahweh)

Lexical Nuance: Yirah means "awe," "reverence," or a "holy dread." It is the recognition of God’s absolute holiness and weight (Kavod).

Application: This is the "beginning of wisdom." It keeps the believer from treating the promises of God as common. It creates the stable foundation of Persistent Faith by keeping the heart aligned with God’s sovereignty, ensuring that when miracles happen, the glory is never misdirected.

Spirit of Holy Awe and Reverence - We bow in Your presence, O Spirit of Holiness! We praise You for the reverence You cultivate within us, keeping our hearts aligned with God's majesty and grounded in Your glorious truth.
