Ezekiel 48:35 "The city shall be 18,000 cubits round about; and the name of the city from that day shall be 'The Lord is There." Shammah means "there."
Hebrews 13:5c (amplified)
"He (God) Himself has said I will not in any way fail you nor give you up, nor leave you without support. I will not, I will NOT, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake, nor let you down." "Relax my hold on you, assuredly not!" Josh 1:5
The more we open our hearts and lives to study, learn, and apply Your Word to our hearts, Your Holy Spirit assures us that You are There!
"I will be with you, Jean. I will not fail you. Do you now know that you are the tenple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? II Cor 6:16
The nearness of God is my good. I have made the LORD my God my refuge.
He, Jesus, was here on earth in body among His people and they did not see and believe. He was here. he is here now as the Holy Spirit. And He will come again as King of Kings to rule over teh nations of this world.
Lord teach me to live in the expectancy of Your Son from heaven, whom You raised from the dead - Jesus - who delivers us from the wrath to come.
I desire to be where You are; to be aware of Your indwelling presence. Praise Jehovah Shammah. God is here!

Jehovah Sabaoth - The Lord of Hosts
August 23, 2004
The name Sabaoth means "mass." In this case it refers to a mass of heavenly beings, a mass of angels, or an army of heavenly hosts. Jehovah Sabaoth rules over all angelic hosts. He rules over all the armies of heaven. He is Lord over all powers, principalities, and rulers in high places. (Kay Arthur)
I Samuel 1:11
And she (Hannah) was greatly distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly. And she made a vow and said "O Lord of Hosts, if Thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid and remember me and not forget, but will give me a son, I will give him to the Lord, all the days of his life."
"There is a name, Jehovah Sabaoth, that I can call upon in times of conflict and warfare. It is a name that makes the very pillars of the universe tremble (Kay Arthur).
O my Lord, Jehovah, Sabaoth, Lord of Hosts. We need you! the battle we are in is Yours. You are the one who is in charge and we can trust You. We do not face the enemy alone. No one in heaven or earth, angels, demons, or Satan himself can stand against You.
I know the situation is puny in the light of other things. But it is one that keeps popping its ugly head up for us. Do I have enough faith for the two of us? My husband thinks he must handle everything. he hasn't yet learned how to put it all into Your hands. And I know I waffle back and forth, but I am learning. I know we do not fight our battles with weak weapons of the flesh. The battle is Yours!
I know Your name is not some magic cure-all, or talisman, but You are a Strong Tower (Proverbs 18:10). "The consistently righteous man (upright and in right standing with God) runs into it and is safe, high (above evil) and strong."
"In this refuge we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of
I know I have no righteousness in my own, it is Christ's righteousness who is consistent that covers me. Thank you.
Jehovah Sabaoth, I choose today, August 23, 2004, to run into the tower of the Lord of Hosts. Have your mercy on us, Lord. We need Your strength and wisdom. We need faith and trust and hope. You are the One who is in charge and I can trust you, Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts: Jehovah El Elyon, the Sovereign Most High God: Jehovah Nissi, our banner of victory. Praise to Your Holy Names!

Jehovah-Shalom - the Lord is peace
August 18, 2004
He (Gideon) said, "Alas Lord God! For now I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face." And the Lord said to him "Peace to you, do not fear; you shall not die." Then Gideon built an altar there to the Lord and named the Lord is Peace. Judges 6:22-24
"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift His countenance on you and give you peace." Numbers 6:22-27
Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on God, because he trusted in God. Isaiah 26:3
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say rejoice! Let your forbearing spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of god which surpasses all understanding (comprehension) shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7
Oh my god, Jehovah Shalom. I need your peace today. I know true peace cannot be found in any other place than in right relationship with You. You Lord, are Peace. My husband needs your peace. I need your peace. You know the circumstances. You may have even orchestrated them to bring us to You on our knees. I claim the peace You offer for myself and for my husband, as he doesn't know how to receive it.
Right now my head is pounding. Relieve the tension, fill me with that peace that surpasses all human comprehension! May Your face shine on us both, be gracious unto us and give us Your Peace and wisdom. Keep our minds rock-solid, focused on You. enable us to trust You and also be obedient to You so You can keep us in that place of peace.
Jehovah Shalom - I accept your gift of peace, by faith. Thank you and praise to the Lord of Peace.
