Hebrew · yeh-ho-VAH el-o-HEEM
Jehovah-Elohim
יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים
The LORD God — the covenant Creator joined in one name
Symbol: The forming hand over the earth — Creator and covenant in one
“This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.”
Genesis 2:4
The first joining of Yahweh's covenant name with Elohim's Creator might — the personal God who made everything on purpose.
What the name means
Genesis 2 uses this name in Eden: the almighty Creator is also the near, personal God who walks with man.
The name holds two truths together — He is big enough to make worlds and personal enough to breathe into your nostrils.
Pray it when you need both power and intimacy: the Maker is also the Lover of your soul.
How to pray this name
- Open prayer by worshipping the Maker: 'LORD God, You formed me on purpose.'
- Pray it over confusion — the One who ordered creation can order your chaos.
Jehovah-Elohim, my Maker and my Covenant Lord, order what is formless in me and breathe over me again. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
The LORD my God made me, knows me and orders my life with covenant love.
