Names of God: Elohim
MEANING:God (plural for more than two) as Mighty Creator, Preserver, Transcendent | VERSE:“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” —Genesis 1:1 NKJV |
FACT:Elohim occurs 2570 times in the Old Testament. | PRAYER:God, refresh and renew my gratitude for all that You have made. |
There are many names given to God in the Bible, and each one helps to illustrate a facet of God’s character. These names are placed in Scripture that we might know and understand more about Him.
We encourage you to know more about God’s character through the study of some of His names!

I first want to say your ministry has been such a blessing to me and this monthly names of God is a wonderful plan. This will help many Christians who don't know how to worship God.

When I attended Victoria Community Church (now The Grove) the Women's Ministry had a study on "The Names of God". It was a wonderful and knowledgeable study. Since it has been so long since that Study, I am really looking forward to your monthly "Names of God". Thank you & Shalom!

This is great! I look forward to seeing next month. Having studied the Life of The Messiah, from a Jewish perspective, for two years (with Francois Blouin/The Sword Ministries), the Names of God study was fascinating. I am glad to see this is also part of your ministry. I love you both and your ministries fit so well together!

You have been a Blessing to me. The first time I heard about you was in San Diego at the Harvest Crusade many years ago. My son and daughter were with me. My son was killed in a car accident, but he had accepted Jesus as his savior and was baptized a year before he died. Now my daughter and her family all are saved and my grandchildren go to Calvary Chapel Christian School.
God Bless you and keep you safe. We need you to keep on teaching us God's word. I am very interested on the new studies of the Lord's names.

I too think this is a wonderful idea. I only know a few names of God that I use when praying. I am looking forward to learning more about Our wonderful Maker and Names and the reasons for those names. I just want to say Thank You for your enlightening ministry. I love You.

Thank you for your devotions. It helps me to explain GOD'S word to my children and I'm able to print and send it to my friend that is in prison. He just loves your letters. I thank you for my growing in the Word also.

I'm making my way back to the Lord! I've been gone so long that I miss everything about God's Word. I'm glad that He never gives up on us. Even in our hardest times He is still there. I'm glad for ministries, because I can listen and relate in ever way. God makes a way in His timing for everyone, and I'm glad He always welcomes us with open arms. Thank you God that you sent your son that we may be forgiven of our sins.

Last year our pastor did a study on the "Lord's Prayer", and began with all the different names for God, and what each one meant. Who would have known. However, it only makes sense that such an awsome God, the creator, holy, redeemer, who gives us life and is so merciful, cannot be described with only one name. I look forward to this study.

GOD is good and does love us so much, but we don't realize how much we tend to take his love for granted, but still he's always there.

You said Elohim occurs in the Old Testament 2570 times, but I never saw it there. Can you please give some scripture to point it out?
Thank you
Diane | January 19, 2011
Elohim is the Hebrew word for God (see Genesis 1:1) so does not appear as Elohim in English translations of the Old Testament.
Elohim is the plural form of El or God. Its plural form is used not to indicate a belief in many gods but to emphasize the majesty of the one true God and appears 2,570 times in the Old Testament. Elohim occurs 32 times in the first chapter of Genesis. Christians recognize this plural form as a hint of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I hope this helps.

I am impressed with this site. It has given me light of how to walk closely with God. I am impressed to know the names of our Almighty God the Creator. Please let us have more of these as these are hidden things which not all people know about it. May God bless the whole team of Harvest.
