Who Is Your God

A study on the “Names of God” was birthed in my heart about five years ago. In the fall of 2000, God let me know through prayer that I needed to get the study done and to put it in book form. Philippians 4:13: “I can do everything through him who gives me strength,” NIV. I was totally dependent upon God for His direction for this project. I am a mother of four children-one has been promoted to heaven. I have been in full-time ministry with my husband, Ron, for thirty years. With the challenges of being a pastor’s wife and having two special needs children to care for, God has truly become my dearest friend. When praying for further direction for this project, I felt I was to tell my story. I do not have an extra special story, but I did learn how to put each of the 355 names of God to work in my daily life. God let me know this study, and my experiences, were to help others deal with sickness and death, and to help people with special needs children or friends. Each one of the names of God, or His characteristics, became my encouragement and my source of strength to face each day. I have searched out 355 “Names of God” with Bible references and verses, and with Webster’s Seventh New Collegiate definitions. I will be the first to admit there could be more “Names of God”. God is not limited to just these names-He’s limitless! I have had to lean on God for so much that each one of the “Names of God” has become part of my life.
