Pat Robertson A Man Of Great Faith

(8 June 2023) Years ago I felt led by the Holy Spirit to make a trip to Virginia to meet Gordon Robertson and see the things that were going on in the ministries there of Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), Regent University, Operation Blessing, and all the associated ministries there on the campus of this great ministry. Although I did not talk with him personally, I was very impressed by the impact one man’s faith can have on a generation. This is the guy that my state of Washington elected as our candidate for the president of the United States. This is the guy who built a ministry to tell people about Jesus, to educate people in God’s ways as well as the ways of commerce and government. Pat Robertson is the embodiment of what God can do through anyone with a bit of faith and motivation. He impacted his generation through using ‘every available voice’ of TV, the internet, radio, print media, books, and much more.

On my visit I stayed at the Founders Inn. This was the on campus hotel for visitors. I was welcomed by Gordon Robertson and got to hear about his vision as CEO of this vast ministry his father had founded. We also talked about what God is doing in Japan. It was neat to see the ministries in animation that they have done for Japan with Superbook. This week we lost a champion of the faith, but the foundation of what Pat Robertson did has changed our world for ever. Now it’s our turn.

Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
Do not fret—it only causes harm.

But those who wait on the LORD,
They shall inherit the earth.

The 16 Titles Of Jehovah God

Sixteen Jehovah Titles
“Lord God” in Gen. 2:4 is Yahweh (H3069 ) ’Elohiym (H430 ). This is the first of hundreds of occurrences of this title. It means the self-existent or Eternal Creator, the ’Elohiym in covenant relationship with His people. Yahweh (Jehovah) really means the Eternal, the Immutable One, He who was, and is, and is to come (Gen. 21:33; Ex. 3:13-14; 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2; 26:4; Rev. 1:4). The name Jehovah is combined with other words which form what we know as the Jehovah titles:

  1. Jehovah-Elohiym–the Eternal Creator (Gen. 2:4-25)
  2. Adonai-Jehovah–the Lord our Sovereign; Master Jehovah (Gen. 15:2,8)
  3. Jehovah-Jireh–the Lord will see or provide (Gen. 22:8-14)
  4. Jehovah-Nissi–the Lord our banner (Ex. 17:15)
  5. Jehovah-Rapha–the Lord our healer (Ex. 15:26)
  6. Jehovah-Shalom–the Lord our peace (Judg. 6:24)
  7. Jehovah-Tsidqenuw–the Lord our righteousness (Jer. 23:6; 33:16)
  8. Jehovah-Mekaddishkem–the Lord our sanctifier (Ex. 31:13; Lev. 20:8; 21:8; 22:9,16,32; Ezek. 20:12)
  9. Jehovah-Sabaoth–the Lord of hosts (1Sam. 1:3; etc., 284 times)
  10. Jehovah-Shammah–the Lord is present (Ezek. 48:35)
  11. Jehovah-Elyown–the Lord Most High (Ps. 7:17; 47:2; 97:9)
  12. Jehovah-Rohi–the Lord my Shepherd (Ps. 23:1)
  13. Jehovah-Hoseenu–the Lord our Maker (Ps. 95:6)
  14. Jehovah-Eloheenu–the Lord our God (Ps. 99:5,8,9)
  15. Jehovah-Eloheka–the Lord thy God (Ex. 20:2,5,7)
  16. Jehovah-Elohay–the Lord my God (Zech. 14:5)

(Dake Study Bible Notes)

God Honors Those Who Honor Him

“Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I promised that your branch of the tribe of Levi would always be my priests. But I will honor those who honor me, and I will despise those who think lightly of me.

1 Samuel 2:30 (NLT)

This one hits you. If you want respect, honor, attention… you’d better honor the one who really deserves it first.

And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who abhor justice
And pervert all equity,
Who build up Zion with bloodshed
And Jerusalem with iniquity:

So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
