I pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal all that we are going to do in this studies.
1 Cor 2: 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
If you want to know God to His full extent then I am inviting you to do this studies with me. Today we start with a new series about the Names of God whereby He reveals to us who He is through His names in the bible. This is a series of studies not to be missed!
I am including a comment that 
It is so important to remember that in our study of God there are two important things that we should seek to know. First, we need information, revealed facts about God. We need knowledge of who God is, how He exists, or about what God is like. But second, we desperately need to go beyond just the facts about God. We need to know God personally and intimately. The facts are the foundation, but the goal is fellowship with God as we learn about His person, plan, purposes, principles, and promises.
NAMES OF GOD
The names or titles given to God in scripture reveal much about His characteristics - who He is, what He is like and what He does. When the Bible uses the phrase the "name of God" or "in the name of the Lord" it refers to His total person - All that He is. And God's name is excellent and majestic.
Psalm 8:1 O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!

יהוה Yod Hey Vav Heh
In modern Hebrew there is no “W” sound and the pronunciation of God's Holy Covenant name is Yehovah.
There is some evidence that in ancient Hebrew the Vav was pronounced as “Waw” and the "Tetragrammaton“ (meaning "the four letter word“) was pronounced Yahweh.
It is this form of God’s name, often referred to as the Ineffable Name, that is the most frequently used in the Bible. When you read the word LORD written in all capitals in an English translation of the Old Testament it represents Hebrew Covenant name of God. The primary reason for the use of LORD in place of God's Hebrew name is to follow the tradition of the Israelites in not pronouncing or spelling out God's name.
Orthodox Jews writing in English will omit the vowels when writing L-rd and G-d. Most often they will say, HaShem (the Name) instead of Yehovah because they stress the letter of the Law and do not want to take His name in vain.
ASSIGNMENT:
Try to memorise these precious names of God and let me know how it is going? Is it easy or difficult to remember? Which one of these names do you relate to the most? (Put your answers in the comments and you just might get a surprise :-)
