If you take the word Jehovah-shalom into your mind and hold it with the thought of a mighty peace, you will feel a harmonizing stillness that no man can understand. In Truth there is but one I AM-Jehovah, the omnipotent I AM. This consciousness will come through prayer and meditation on Truth. This recognition must be cultivated, and every one should become conscious of the I AM presence. The mind does not always comprehend I AM in its highest, neither does it discern that the all-knowing, omnipotent One is within man. This is frequently the cause of failure to get the desired results from the laws that all metaphysicians recognize as fundamentally true. But if we start any demonstration and try to apply the I AM to personality we fall short. God was also known to the Israelites as Jehovah-shalom-" I AM peace." We can demonstrate peace of mind by holding the words, " I am peace." with the understand ing that the real I AM is Jehovah within us. If we expect to demonstrate prosperity from without we find it a slow process but if we know that I AM is the provider we have the key to the inexhaustible resource. "This is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." So whenever you read the word Lord in Scripture say I AM instead and you will get a clearer understanding of what Jehovah is. All Scripture shows that Jehovah means just what God told Moses it meant, I AM. It makes a great difference whether we think that I AM, self-existence, is within, or Lord, master, without. Then instead of reading " Lord" we should read I AM. Bible students say that Jehovah means the self-existent One. The Hebrew Jehovah has been translated " Lord." Lord means an external ruler. The creation is carried forward through the activity of the Holy Spirit. In the Scripture this ideal is named Jehovah, meaning I AM the ever living- He who is eternal.

In the creative process Divine Mind first ideates itself. In the Old Testament the spiritual I AM is symbolically described as Jehovah- in the New Testament it is called Christ.Ĭreation originates and exists in Divine Mind, God. 22:42-45, where He reveals that the Christ existed before David, whose son He was supposed to be. Lee's Hebrew Lexicon identifies this name with Christ, as the manifestation of God that speaks to patriarchs and prophets. which means the ever living male-and-female principle. 3:14, 15 that Jehovah told him that His name means: " I AM THAT I AM." Hebrew students say that the original word is JHVH. In the Authorized Version it is improperly translated "the Lord." In the American Standard Version the name Jehovah is given where Jah occurs in the Hebrew text (see Exod. Jehovah is one of God's names as given in the Bible. but the prefix changes from manifestation to power, "he" to "I." The word-for-word rendering of the original would be: "I-am-I-was-I-will-be because I-am-I-was-I-will-be the power to be eternally I.” In " I AM THAT I AM," the absolute verb remains the same. Jehovah, je-ho'-vah (Heb.)- He-who-is-who-was-who-will-be manifest the self-existent One Ipseity He who is eternal.
