Study Number 39 JEHOVAH ELOHEENU, meaning “the LORD, our God.”

We need to Call upon Jehovah Eloheenu when the Body of Christ is under attack.

It is wonderful to call upon JEHOVAH ELOHAY and receive a personal miracle. When we pray together to Jehovah Eloheenu and have faith for the corporate Body of  Christ to have a miracle, we begin to get the Vision of the Kingdom of God. We see what God can do in the World when we knit our hearts together in prayer towards a common goal.M.H.


I remember some years ago when we were having outreach meeting in a Muslim Nation in the open air. Our Visiting Evangelist and I were called to the Mayor’s office on Sunday morning after the morning service. He said, “Please stop open-air preaching as I cannot assure your safety. “ We obliged for some two months and did not preach in his jurisdiction but continued in other districts. During this time God raised up a young woman from her death-bed in answer to prayer. We continued to pray that the LORD would open the doors for Local Evangelism. When I wrote to the Mayor of our town and asked if I could continue he said to me, “Yes. Go ahead now it is authorised.” The Lord had opened the Door for the Gospel.
Our Lord is JEHOVAH ELOHEENU, the LORD OUR God.

A Group at Mt Horeb

Now look at Deut 1:6,19 and 20
Deu 1:6  Jehovah our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have had enough of dwelling in this mountain. v.7  Turn and pull up stakes, and enter the hill-country of the Amorites,
Deu 1:19  And when we pulled up stakes from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God commanded us. And we came to Kadesh-barnea.
Deu 1:20  And I said to you, You have come to the mountain of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God has given unto us. MKJV

Notes: v.6 The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount — Horeb was the general name of a mountainous district; literally, “the parched” or “burnt region,” whereas Sinai was the name appropriated to a particular peak [see on Exo_19:2]. About a year had been spent among the recesses of that wild solitude, in laying the foundation, under the immediate direction of God, of a new and peculiar community, as to its social, political, and, above all, religious character; and when this purpose had been accomplished, they were ordered to break up their encampment in Horeb. The command given them was to march straight to Canaan, and possess it [Deu_1:7].JFB


v. 19 we went through all that great and terrible wilderness — of Paran, which included the desert and mountainous space lying between the wilderness of Shur westward, or towards Egypt and mount Seir, or the land of Edom eastwards; between the land of Canaan northwards, and the Red Sea southwards; and thus it appears to have comprehended really the wilderness of Sin and Sinai [Fisk]. It is called by the Arabs El Tih, “the wandering.” It is a dreary waste of rock and of calcareous soil covered with black sharp flints; all travelers, from a feeling of its complete isolation from the world, describe it as a great and terrible wilderness.KFB

The Wilderness Wanderings or the Desert Wnaderings

v.20 And I said unto you, you are come unto the mountain of the Amorites,.... Which was inhabited by them, and was one of the seven nations the Israelites were to destroy, and possess their land, and which lay on the southern part of the land of Canaan:

which the Lord our God doth give unto us; not the mountain only, but the whole country of that people, and even all the land of Canaan.
