EL SHADDAI – the All Sufficient One - God did not send the children of Israel into Canaan to be defeated, but to conquer. He wants your Promised Land to be conquered, and He wants to use you to conquer it. El Shaddai, the All Sufficient One, has given you all you need to possess your land. Prepare yourself to take back what the enemy has stolen. He has no authority over you, your family, or anything that the Lord has given you. The enemy can only take what you choose to lose. Everything you need to defeat the enemy is provided to you by El Shaddai. - “But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.” - Like Job, who lost everything, you may feel as though you are far from God's blessing. As he sat in the ashes of ruin, Job's wife urged him to curse God and die. But Job proclaimed, "I know that my redeemer liveth!" Job kept his eyes on God and was completely restored. The same God who brought Job back from the jaws of death and destruction can touch your life. Everything you need is already available because our God is El Shaddai, "the One who is All Sufficient." God did not send the children of Israel into Canaan to be defeated, but to conquer. He wants your Promised Land to be conquered, and He wants to use you to conquer it. El Shaddai, the All Sufficient One, has given you all you need to possess your land. Prepare yourself to take back what the enemy has stolen.

“But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.” - Job 5:15

 

Like Job, who lost everything, you may feel as though you are far from God's blessing.

As he sat in the ashes of ruin, Job's wife urged him to curse God and die.

But Job proclaimed, "I know that my redeemer liveth!" (Job 19:25).

Job kept his eyes on God and was completely restored.

The same God who brought Job back from the jaws of death and destruction can touch your life.

Everything you need is already available because our God is El Shaddai, "the One who is All Sufficient."

God did not send the children of Israel into Canaan to be defeated, but to conquer.

He wants your Promised Land to be conquered, and He wants to use you to conquer it.

El Shaddai, the All Sufficient One, has given you all you need to possess your land.

It is time for you to tell the dethroned and defeated devil, "Stand back! You have no authority. I am taking back what is rightfully mine."

Prepare yourself to take back what the enemy has stolen.

He has no authority over you, your family, or anything that the Lord has given you.

The enemy can only take what you choose to lose.

Everything you need to defeat the enemy is provided to you by El Shaddai.

El Shaddai, I refuse to accept defeat.

I stand firm in the authority of Jesus Christ and take back in His name all the enemy has stolen.

Amen.

THE NAME EL SHADDAI - The wonder of all wonders is that the God who is El Shaddai would humble Himself to bring us salvation in His Son. The redeemed church is to thank and praise the meek and mighty Savior. This One who has the name above all names will be honored throughout eternity for the mercy He extended to those who call on His name. The most common interpretation of shaddai today is “mighty,” and El Shaddai would translate to “God Almighty.” One suggested root meaning for El Shaddai is “The Overpowerer,” meaning God will do what He purposes to do, overpowering all opposition. Some interpret shaddai as “sufficient,” and God is the “All-sufficient One.” He is more than sufficient to meet any need. He is power and provision. Yet another possible meaning of El Shaddai is “The God of the Mountain.” God lives in heaven, but He also inhabited a mountain top — Mount Sinai. It was on this mountain Moses met with God and received the Ten Commandments. It might be argued God’s presence on that mountain reminded the Israelites of His power and provision. The God of the Mountain was the same God who mightily led His people from Egypt and appeared to them as a cloud by day and a fire at night. He is the God who expected obedience to His commands, and swiftly and powerfully took action against those who rebelled and ignored His will. We can trust Him because He is trustworthy; He is our solid rock and hiding place, our deliverer and protector.

In 1982, Amy Grant made the song “El Shaddai”famous.
Though written by Michael Card and John Thompson for Card’s 1981 debut album, the God-honoring song is more closely associated with Grant.
As she sang, “Age to age you’re still the same, by the power of the name,” she magnified God Almighty — the wonderful “El Shaddai.”
What does the Old Testament word shaddai mean, and is there a message in this name for the Church?
Let's explore the meaning of this name from the Bible and how we can apply it to our relationship with God today:
El Shaddai — Shades of Meaning?
There is considerable debate surrounding the name Shaddai.
El Shaddai—Shades of Meaning?I believe the various possibilities are shades of meaning that give us greater understanding of who God is and what He does.
Among Christians, the most common interpretation of shaddai today is “mighty,” and El Shaddai would translate to “God Almighty.”
Coinciding with this, one suggested root meaning for El Shaddai is “The Overpowerer,” meaning God will do what He purposes to do, overpowering all opposition.
Some interpret shaddai as “sufficient,” and God is the “All-sufficient One.”
Either interpretation — mighty or sufficient — works for me, because the Almighty is the God who is enough!
He is more than sufficient to meet any need. He is power and provision.
In great compassion, He sustains, nourishes and protects me.
He takes my weakness and gives me strength.
He takes my inadequate resources and in His sufficiency uses them for His great and powerful purposes.
Yet another possible meaning of El Shaddai is “The God of the Mountain.”
Some Messianic teachers say shaddai comes from the Akkadian word shaddu, meaning “mountain.”
God lives in heaven, but He also inhabited a mountain top — Mount Sinai.
It was on this mountain Moses met with God and received the Ten Commandments.
It might be argued God’s presence on that mountain reminded the Israelites of His power and provision.
The God of the Mountain was the same God who mightily led His people from Egypt and appeared to them as a cloud by day and a fire at night.
He is the God who expected obedience to His commands, and swiftly and powerfully took action against those who rebelled and ignored His will.
How Is God Mighty?
I want to focus on “shaddai” as “almighty."
How Is God Mighty?What does “God is Almighty” look like in practical terms?
The most obvious expression of God’s might is as the Creator. He is the Maker of all things in the universe — including humans.
That isn’t open to dispute in Scripture. “All things were made by Him, and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3).
All things were created through the Lord’s power and for Him.
Think of the greatest construction workers you know and the beautiful things they build.
God is infinitely a better Constructor than that! Hebrews 3:4 says it this way: “the builder of all things is God.”
God’s might is far beyond ours because He is eternal — the everlasting God from before time and into the timeless future.
He is the everlasting King of heaven; and as the Sovereign God, He is answerable to no one!
God does “great and awesome” wonders — miracles! There is nothing too hard Him.
He has unlimited power. We cannot even imagine all El Shaddai can do!
El Shaddai through the Old Testament
We discover El Shaddai throughout the years of the Patriarchs.
El Shaddai through the Old TestamentAlthough the surrounding nations had many gods, the Hebrews had one, the Almighty.
We see this name for God in Genesis 17:1 when Abraham spoke with God, and also in Genesis 28:3 and 35:11.
Jacob asked God Almighty for mercy for his sons concerning their brother Joseph. Later, he described to Joseph how the Almighty appeared to him at Luz.
God told Moses of His encounters with Abraham and Jacob as God Almighty, and He added a new name in Exodus 6:2-3 — the LORD.
Ezekiel also mentioned God’s might and power.
Contending with the Almighty
The name El Shaddai is found repeatedly in the book of Job, and that is no surprise.
Does Our Culture Discount El Shaddai?Though Job initially contended with the Almighty, God’s display of power and wisdom caused the Patriarch to shut his mouth before the Lord’s sovereignty and authority.
The Psalmist wrote about those who contend with and plot against the Father and His anointed Son — trying to claim greater wisdom and power than the Lord of heaven.
But Scripture says God laughs at their silly assertions.
Truly, we can mock and play games with God all we want, but God’s wisdom and power are so far beyond us. We are foolish to contend with the Almighty.
Does Our Culture Discount El Shaddai?
In modern culture, the proclamation of God’s power has gone silent in many churches.
A God of love is more palpable, more easily received, than the God who is sovereign and powerful — the Mighty God who can turn the hearts of kings and direct nations to do His will.
Habakkuk’s prayer (Habakkuk 3:1-16) expressed some of the reasons the prophet trembled over a “report” about the Lord.
He recounted the Lord’s mighty character and works, His anger over sin, and His sovereignty over the nations.
When God’s prophets spoke His words with power, sometimes people and nations listened and turned to the Lord; but others resisted God.
So, it is today when God’s people speak up about His power and might.
If pastors preach the whole counsel of God, they will remind God’s people to see Him as He is: the reigning “Lord God Almighty” who will someday exert His great power and reign forever.
He is the God who chooses us to make us a holy people and He transforms us with His power. He is to be honored with reverence and awe — holy “fear of the Lord.”
The Almighty Invites Us to Trust Him
The mighty God, embodied in Jesus Christ, fed thousands from simple provisions. He healed people and cast out demons that tormented them.
The Almighty Invites Us to Trust Him
He worked mighty miracles to assist His people and rescue them. He even raised people from the dead!
What a mighty God we serve — and we need to praise Him. He invites us to call on Him in prayer so He can show us great and mighty things.
We can trust Him because He is trustworthy; He is our solid rock and hiding place, our deliverer and protector. We are wise to love and trust Him with all our heart, soul and mind.
The Lord says, “Come to Me,” because He knows His power and provision will lead to the peace of hope and praise.
The Paradox of Might and Humility
The Psalmist says, “Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power.”
The Psalmist looked forward to the Messiah who would come in power; and Zechariah’s words in Luke 1:68 were a song of praise for God’s redemption in Christ.
Yet the wonder of all wonders is that the God who is El Shaddai would humble Himself to bring us salvation in His Son. The redeemed church is to thank and praise the meek and mighty Savior.
The watching church will see the Mighty God of Isaiah 9:6 come again with “power and great glory.”
This One who has the name above all names will be honored throughout eternity for the mercy He extended to those who call on His name.
In heaven, all of God’s creation will ascribe to Him “glory, majesty, power and authority” — the praise El Shaddai is due “forevermore.”

lyrics
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
El-Elyon na Adonai, 
Age to age you're still the same, 
By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
Erkamka na Adonai, 
We will praise and lift you high, 
El Shaddai.
.
Through your love and through the ram, 
You saved the son of Abraham; 
Through the power of your hand, 
Turned the sea into dry land.
To the outcast on her knees, 

You were the God who really sees, 
And by your might, 
You set your children free.

.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
El-Elyon na Adonai, 
Age to age you're still the same, 
By the power of the name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
Erkamka na Adonai, 
We will praise and lift you high, 
El Shaddai.

.
Through the years you've made it clear, 
That the time of Christ was near, 
Though the people couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be.

Though your word contained the plan, 
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of your son.

.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
El-Elyon na Adonai, 
Age to age you're still the same, 
By the power of the name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
Erkamka na Adonai, 
I will praise you 'till I die, 
El Shaddai.


El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
El-Elyon na Adonai, 
Age to age you're still the same, 

By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
Erkamka na Adonai, 
I will praise you 'till I die.
El Shaddai.
