Yeshua / Jesus
יֵשׁוּעַ
The LORD is salvation
Symbol: The cross — the name that saves written in blood
“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21
The name above every name. Every altar prayer in this house ends here, because every prayer is answered here.
What the name means
Yeshua carries the covenant name YHWH inside it joined to yasha, to save, deliver, rescue.
It is a name of authority: at this name every knee bows, in heaven, on earth and under the earth.
It is also the name of nearness — God with us, wounded for us, praying for us at the right hand of the Father.
How to pray this name
- Close every prayer in this name — it is the seal, not a formality.
- When words fail, pray only the name, slowly, until peace comes.
Yeshua, You are my salvation and my Lord. Let Your name be the first and last word of my life. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
At the name of Jesus every knee bows — I pray, live and overcome in that name.
