It's all in The Name

Before I continue with all my stories etc., I think it is now important to reveal why I do not use the words 'God', 'Lord', 'Jesus' and 'Christ'.  I cannot continue without at least explaining as, to me, this is crucial.

My life had changed.  I wasn't sure exactly how, but I knew there was something different.  I started studying the scriptures and listened to gospel music.  It was an exciting time. For the first couple of weeks of being 'new', nothing phased me.  I was filled with wonder, and just wanted to know more and more.  However, after a couple of weeks, I started to 'come down'.  It was almost like coming back from a vacation and having to get back to work, although there was still a feeling of elation residing within.  I realised that although something very real and very wonderful had happened, life went on. 

However, something appeared to be missing.  I couldn't understand why, if I had just accepted the most wonderful gift that there ever was, and became part of the most wonderful story ever told, was I having a problem actually praying.  I could not say the word 'Jesus'. 

It is possible at this point I may lose another few viewers, but that is not a problem to me. What is important is the truth that has been revealed to me, be revealed to those who wish to know.  I believe that there is nothing more important than doing my Father's will, and as 'cookey' as that may sound to some, anyone who has a passion for the Almighty, will understand that there is no alternative.  This is what I believe.

Considering I had spoken the name Jesus many times, it was quite amazing that I could not utter the name without feeling as if I was doing something wrong.  All was revealed when I received a message, one night, from my very good friend, who said he wanted to tell me something important, but he would have to wait until later, as he was busy.  I was intrigued but knew I would have to wait until he finished work.  However, within minutes my phone rang.  He could not wait, as he said it was so important.  A revelation.  He spoke and waited for me to interrupt and, either disagree, or make a dispelling comment.  I did not.  What he told me was about to change everything. 

The Creator is not God, or at least not known as God.  This is a title, and the title should be Elohim.  His name was something completely different.  He should not be called 'Lord' or 'God'.  His name is, as near as we can write in English, 'IAUE', or in pronounceable terms 'Yaheweh'.  (I am still uncertain that we have the correct pronunciation, or indeed the ability to say it properly, but this is just my perspective).  This was easy enough for me to grasp, as the Hebrews in the Old Testament, or the 'Original' Testament, would have used Elohim, or Adonoi, and He did speak to them. 

The next part of the revelation was really quite simple for me.  Jesus is not the name of Messiah.  After all, He was born to Hebrew parents, who spoke Hebrew.  The main problem with the name 'Jesus' is that there is no 'J' in the Hebrew alphabet.  His name was Yahushua.  (Again the pronunciation may differ, or not be correct, and I do use the word 'Messiah' so as not to offend).  To say that 'Jesus' is His 'English' name is really rather insulting.  This is the son of the Creator of all! 

I took this all on board and had no problems at all accepting what I was told, and immediately refrained from calling my Master and my Father the names I had known for most of my life.  I could not risk offence.  As soon as I stopped using the 'other' terms, however, I suddenly understood the 'fear' of Elohim.  Suddenly, things became clearer, and I did not believe that I was 'saved'; I knew that if I committed one unrighteous act, and was taken from this world, all my righteous acts would not be remembered. It would be the one bad thing that that would condemn me.  I could no longer just say, 'ooops sorry about that, wont happen again', but I had to repent, and mean it! 

Over the years, we have been scoffed at, and even shunned, for attempting to share this revelation, but it is of no consequence to us.  Those who have embraced what we have embraced, have come to understand that life is not about us.  We have died and given our life to our Master, Messiah.  The particular lessons I have learned I will share, and in doing so may reveal, in more depth, why I maintain it is so important that we revert to, what we refer to as, the 'Original' names.  

Now that the basics are covered, I feel I can continue with all the wonders I have experienced.
