You Know My Name – Isaiah 43:1

 

This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred seventeenth inspirational message dated Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022. The title of this message is “You Know My Name – Isaiah 43:1”.

The first four words of this message’s title are also the words in the name of the below inspirational song/video, “You Know My Name” (with lyrics) as performed by Tasha Cobbs Leonard featuring Jimi Cravity. The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the Old Testament book of Isaiah – the first verse of the forty-third chapter:

Isaiah 43:1

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

¹ But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.

  

Recently, I was scrolling through YouTube Gospel song favorites and I saw the below video of “You Know My Name” by Tasha Cobbs Leonard featuring Jimi Cravity – and I knew that I just had to stop and listen to this song. I had heard this song sung before, but listening to it “this time” – caused me to stop and reflect on the thought-provoking and touching lyrics. Also, I noticed that the scripture that appeared in the beginning of the song – tied so beautifully with the lyrics of this anointed song.

I listened carefully and thoughtfully to the lyrics and they “touched me” so much…I knew that I would have to share “this” song in my next message. Please read the below first two verses of the forty-third chapter of Isaiah:

Isaiah 43:1-2

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

¹ But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
² When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.

 

After reading the above two verses…

How do these verses make you feel?

Do you feel loved, comforted and safe?

 

God is telling us – “we” – as God’s children are “His” own and we don’t have to fear! We have been redeemed by God as believers in His Son Jesus Christ!

The last two sentences of the first verse of Isaiah 43 state what God is telling us “personally” – that we belong to Him:

 

“I have called you by your name;

You are Mine.

 

PRAISE GOD – WE ARE THE LORD’S!

See the below supporting scriptures:

 

John 1:12

New King James Version

¹² But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

¹³ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

 

Psalm 100:3

New King James Version

 

³ Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

 

Psalm 139:13-14

New King James Version

 

¹³ For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.

 

Ephesians 2:10

New King James Version

 

¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

 

 

“YOU” ARE GOD’S CHILD…

 

YOU ARE HIS OWN!

 

YOU ARE “BELOVED” and God’s “CHOSEN” and “SPECIAL” POSSESSION… (see the below verses):

 

1st Peter 2:9

New King James Version

 

⁹ But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

 

Colossians 3:12-13

New King James Version

 

 

¹² So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; ¹³ bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also.

 

Please remember that GOD IS WITH US, HE WILL STRENGTHEN US, HE LOVES US AND HE WILL PROTECT US -

Isaiah 41:10

New King James Version

¹⁰ Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Jesus promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us – see Hebrews 13:5b below:

Hebrews 13:5b

New King James Version

For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

 

Father, thank You so much for Your reassuring voice telling me whose I am and how much I’m loved.
