By Dr. Melissa Tranquille (A Natsarim of Yahusha)

I was around 21 years of age when I first said the ‘sinners’ prayer’ and began the Christian walk with zeal. As a matter of fact, both my husband and I said that prayer together. Back in the day, we had already been dating for one year and whilst watching one of those famous charismatic preachers on TBN, we followed the instructions given, said the so called ‘sinners’ prayer’ and believed that by those words we were now in the Kingdom of God.
Looking back now, I can confidently tell you that our Christian journey was one where we were MERELY doing what we were told by the Pastors on the pulpit and just going along with the norms and patterns that were presented to us.
Everyone called the Heavenly Father – ‘God’ or ‘Lord’. That was the norm!
At one time in my youth, I even thought that ‘God’ was his name. The normalization and acceptance of this practice, is further consolidated by the fact that these two titles (‘God’ and ‘Lord’) are also written throughout our scriptures.
In my youthful mind, certainly there could be nothing wrong with calling the Heavenly Father – God or Lord. That’s how he is called by the majority!
Till one day, many decades later, after hearing the Heavenly Father’s Name a few times by a few Natsarim, I decided to take it to prayer.
When I finally decided to submit to Him and honour Him by His Name, my walk in the Way of Yahuah changed forever!!!
I felt like all those years, I had been blind, but it was not until now that I could see. I have come to understand and know Him and give Him true and undefiled reverence. Barak (Bless) Yahuah!!
So, in this article, I am going to share with you SEVEN (7) reasons why I no longer pray to the Heavenly Father using the title ‘God’ or ‘Lord’.
These very reasons brought clarity, conviction and truth!
Before we dive right in, I want you to quietly answer these questions to yourself.
- Have you ever asked yourself why you have been calling the Creator of Heaven and Earth ‘God’ or ‘Lord’?
- Do you know the difference between GOD, God, LORD or Lord – all written in our scriptures?
- Have you ever stopped and asked yourself what ‘God’ really meant?
- Have you ever searched the scriptures to see what it has to say about His Name?
- Have you even thought about how the Heavenly Father felt about being called by ‘God and ‘LORD’?
- Have you ever pondered as to whether you might just be committing sin or error in IGNORANCE?
If you’ve been honest with yourself, I am certain that you’ve answered ‘NO’ to all of the questions above or at least 90% of those questions.
I want to ask you just one more question.
Would you not want to know if you’ve been committing sin or error in ignorance, so you could immediately correct that wrong?

If you’re still reading this article, and you have not brushed it aside, then I am very sure that you are someone with a heart who wants the Truth and that you are willing to amend your ways before Him.
Today, I shout Todah Yahuah (Thank you Yahuah) that he can use me as a vessel to share such an important word of TRUTH with you today.
But, first, it will require you to come with an honest heart towards the Heavenly Father, with the matstah (unleavened bread) of sincerity and truth.
Ps 63:1 says ‘ O Aluah (Mighty One), you are my Al (Mighty One); early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is’.
Your heart posture MUST be right and you MUST come with a desire to truly seek the Heavenly Father and draw closer to Him and to please Him in all that you do.
Now, here are my SEVEN (7) reasons of why I no longer pray to the Heavenly Father
using the title ‘God’ or ‘Lord’.
1. When I discovered the original meaning of the word ‘God’.
As many of you should know by now, there are many practices in the Christian religion that were taken from paganism and were so then ‘Christianised’ by men. For example, Christmas, Easter traditions, Sunday Mass (Mithraism) and more.
Well, the title ‘God’ follows suit.
Do you know the etymology of the word ‘god’?
Etymology basically reveals the original meanings, history of a word and go on to show how that word has changed over time.
The word god which today means "supreme being, deity; the Christian God; image of a god; godlike person," according to etymonline.com; actually has more sinister and pagan origins that would make any true believer feel to vomit!
Etymology of the word god:
- To call, invoke
- Divine entity summoned to a sacrifice
- To pour a libation
- Spirit immanent in a burial mound
CLICK HERE to visit etymonline for more information. It also goes on to say:
God was “originally a neuter noun in Germanic, the gender shifted to masculine after the coming of Christianity”
When I first discovered that the origin of the word ‘God’ meant a ‘spirit in a burial mound, libated upon’; it literally made my stomach turn.
If anyone says that they worship the Heavenly Father and is unable to already see how wrong this is – then unfortunately, they have drunk the Koolade for so long, and have become numbed down and blinded to the fear/reverence (yirah) of Yahuah in their heart.
Prov 9:10 says the ‘fear of Yahuah is the beginning of wisdom’.
That word fear in Hebrew is yirah which also translates to a sense of awe, reverence and profound respect.
The heart which has profound respect or reverence for the Heavenly Father, Yahuah; or at least is growing in that regard … will be quick to repent upon learning this information and put away this tradition of man!
Well, this is exactly what I did!!
It was a horrifying discovery which made my ruach (spirit) very unsettled.
Furthermore, it was very upsetting to learn that the supreme god of the Greeks – Zeus – is translated into Latin as ‘deus’ meaning sky, heaven, god. I am not talking about the Roman equivalent to Zeus that is worshipped, which is called Jupiter. Rather, the very name of that pagan deity Zeus is translated into Latin as deus which means god.
Moreover, the pagans also had a practice of masking the names of the deities.
Fossilized Customs explain “The Romans worshipped Sol in the names of Deus (a variant of Zeus) and Domini (Latin for LORD). Pagans hid their deity’s names by using titles. The pagan prophet Zarathustra (Zoroastrianism) called the sun Ahura Mazda. Ahura means ‘Lord’ in Old Persian and Mazda means wise, so Ahura Mazda means Wise Lord. They are referring to Mithras. In the time of Daniel, the Ruler of Babylon, Darius worshipped Ahura Mazda. The Priests of Ahura Mazda were Magians (magi, magicians; Greek ‘magus’). Simon Magus (Acts 8) was a magician prior to becoming a follower of Yahusha. In India, the sun is called Lord Krishna. Augustine, one of the ‘Early Church Fathers’ was previously a Manichaean; a sun-worshipper. We’ve inherited titles like “Lord’ from these Magians and these other religions” (pp ).
Discovering all this made me feel very deceived, as I am sure that you are beginning to feel too.
But my journey didn’t stop there.
Let us discover why it is also not respectful to worship and call on Yahuah, Our Creator as ‘Lord’.

2. The meaning of the title ‘Lord’.
First of all, the title ‘Lord’ has a dual meaning in the Hebrew language.
The Hebrew word Ba’al is used to refer to the Canaanite Deity Ba’al; but is also used to refer to a master, owner or husband.
Now, I am absolutely sure that the Most Qodesh Father will NOT give us a name to call him that would possibly give esteem to another.
He says in Isaiah 42:8:
“I am Yahuah: that is my name: and my esteem will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven image’.
Yahuah will not share his esteem with any other!
And His Name is a Name of Esteem!
As He was addressing the gathering of Yashar’el in the Book of Ezekiel 36, he declares that His Name is great.
“And I will sanctify my great Name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them: and the heathen shall know that I am Yahuah, says Adonai Yahuah, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes” (Ezekiel 36:23)
To add further insult to injury, the title Lord is a title that is given by men who have been knighted by the reigning Monarchs of the United Kingdom. This practice began since the Norman Conquest in 1066.
At the time of writing this article, there are currently 826 Lords, who are members of the House of Lords, which is the upper house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Thus, in our journey to grow in the fear and reverence of Yahuah, do you think it is right, just and fair to call the great and mighty living Al (power/mighty One) by a common title that is also given to man?
Or, the title that is also assigned to the Canaanite Deity ‘Ba’al’?
I am sure that you will agree with me that the answer is an EMPHATIC NO!
But why have we been doing it?
And for some of you reading this article right now, why are you still doing it?
You see, we have been made to believe that such a practice is ‘ok’ and inconsequential.
However, by the time you have completed the reading of this article, you will clearly see that this matter is more important than you ever realized and requires urgent action on your part.
So, where did the use of those unclean titles of ‘God’ and ‘Lord’ come from?

3. When I gained the understanding of who gave us those PAGAN titles of ‘God’ or ‘Lord’.
For many of us, when we first picked up our bibles, we never gave a single thought to the fact that we actually have a translation in our hands.
In the innocence of my youth and my respect for those in the pulpit, I trusted whatever I was being taught or trained to do.
‘God’ and ‘Lord’ were the commonly accepted terms declared by all that surrounded me - whether at church or Christian media.
However, as I came into the Way of Yahuah, as a Natsarim of Yahusha (the true Name of the Son of Aluah), I came to learn that our translations have actually been tampered with.
The Name of the Heavenly Father was actually removed from our scriptures almost 7000 times.
If you would love to go deeper on this aspect, CLICK HERE to read an article on Ba’al which provides even further historical context.
Moreover, as the Catholic Church sought to expand its dominance, the ecumenical council, already influenced by the Greeks and the ineffable name doctrine, which we will talk about some more later; sought to replace the Heavenly Father’s Name, Yahuah, by a more common and acceptable title by the pagans.
The pagan romans were already familiar with the Latin ‘deus’ which was used for their pantheon gods and later Christianised.
Whilst the Latin equivalent of ‘deus’ in Greek was used to refer to Zeus, who is considered to be the king of the gods in the Greco religion. They both have the same origin.
See an excerpt below from ‘Deus etymology’
“The etymology of “deus,” the Latin word for “god,” shares a fascinating lineage with its Greek counterpart, deeply intertwined with ancient Indo-European linguistic roots, reflecting broader themes of cultural and philosophical development. “Deus” originates from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *deiwós, which is derived from the base *dyeu-, meaning “to shine” or “the sky.” This root reflects a common ancient conceptualization of gods as celestial beings or as associated with the sky and light, embodying the divine as that which is above, luminous, and powerful”
“In Latin, “deus” came to denote god or deity in a general sense, used both for the pantheon of Roman gods and, later, within Christian Latin, to refer to the monotheistic God of Christianity. This evolution in usage reflects the shifting religious landscapes and the incorporation of Roman religious practices into Christian theology”
Our scriptures were translated by these pagans who DID NOT LOVE our Heavenly Father and had NO regard for His Name!!
These pagans were simply interested in domination and conquering and so they hijacked the scriptures, that were being used by this new and growing movement of ‘The Way of Yahuah’, the Natsarim, Followers of Mashiach Yahusha and filtered it with their pagan titles of ‘God’ and ‘Lord’.
Please NOTE that I love my scriptures and read them daily, but knowing what I know now, I do NOT condone what they have done.
Our Father deserves respect, reverence and honour now and forever more!
And I will NOT CEASE to make mention of His Name!!
Isaiah 62:6-7 says “I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Yerushalayim, which shall never hold their peace, day nor night: ye that make mention of Yahuah, keep not silence. And give Him no rest, till he establishes, and he makes Yerushalayim a praise in the earth’.
And as you grow in this walk, you will also learn that these pagans have a pattern.

4. My increased knowledge on the pattern of the PAGANS!
It is very important to understand that Yahuah chose a small people on this earth to give His Torah and to teach them His Way. They became a great people because of Yahuah.
All the other nations on this earth worshipped heathen gods and idols of wood, stone, trees and the list go on.
The Testament of the prophets tells us about the pattern of the pagans …
This is taken from the Testament of Naphtali, Chpt 3:3 – “the gentiles, because they wandered astray and forsook Yahuah, have changed the order, and have devoted themselves to stones and sticks, patterning themselves after wandering spirits”.
Pagans think completely differently to a Torah believer and unless their paganistic thoughts have been purged, they will not be able to truly humble and serve the One True and Living Aluah in Ruach and in Truth.
We can even go back to the time of the Maccabees when the King appointed someone from Athens to compel the Yahudiym (Judah) to depart from the Torah and to worship their pagan gods.
“Not long after this the king sent an old man of Athens to compel the Yahudiym to depart from the Torah of their fathers, and not to live after the Torah of Elohiym: And to pollute also the Temple in Yerushalayim, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius; and that in Geriziym, of Jupiter the Defender of strangers, as they did desire that dwelt in the place. The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the people: For the Temple was filled with riot and revelling by the other nations, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with women within the circuit of the holy places, and besides that brought in things that were against the Torah. Makkabiym Sheniy (2 Maccabees) 6:1-4
The altar also was filled with profane things, which the Torah forbids. Neither was it lawful for a man to guard days of Shabbath or ancient feasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Yahudiy. And in the day of the king's birth every month they were brought by bitter constraint to eat of the sacrifices; and when the feast of Bacchus was kept, the Yahudiym were compelled to go in procession to Bacchus, carrying ivy. Makkabiym Sheniy (2 Maccabees) 6:5-7
They even sought to paint the likeness of their images in their Torah!
“Wherefore Yashar'el assembled themselves together, and came to Mitspah, over against Yerushalayim; for in Mitspah was the place where they prayed aforetime in Yashar'el. Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes, And laid open the Cepher of the Torah, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images”. Makkabiym Ri'shon (1 Maccabees) 3:46-48
Do you honestly believe that these pagan Greeks and Romans gave up all their pantheons to serve the Most Qodesh Aluah of all, but yet refused to call him by His Name?
Yet, they worshipped their pantheon of deities and called them each by their names and offered the required sacrifices at their appointed times.
Here is just a drop in the bucket of some of the Roman gods that they worshipped,
called upon and gave sacrifices to:
Janus in January
Februus in February
Mars in March
Maia in May
Juno in June
Julius Caeser in July (he names after himself …and remember that they worshipped their Caesars)
Augustus in August
Bacchus in December
Let us have a look at a pin hole of the Greek gods. I don’t call it mythology, because it is
not a myth. This was their religion!
Their supreme deity – Zeus
Poseidon
Hera
Demeter
Aphrodite
Athena
Artemis
Apollo
Ares
Hermes
And the list goes on.
So, why did these so-called pagan converts feel that the Name of the Heavenly Father and His Son (which we will address in another article) did not deserve to be pronounced as they were written?
When even the title of Satan himself has remained intact across tongues and languages.
Here are just a few …
Albanian – satanai
Basque – satanas
Bosnian – satana
Catalan – satanas
Czech – satan
Danish – satan
Dutch – satan
Estonian – saatan
Finnish – saatana
French – satan
Frisian – satan
German – satan
Icelandic – satan
Irish – satan
Italian – Satana
Norwegian – satan
Slovak – satan
Swedish – satan
Welsh – satan

Don’t you find this curious?
You can even find Satan’s name preserved in our scriptures – Romans 16:12; Rev 12:9; Matt 6:23; 2 Corinthians 11:4 John 8:44 to name a few.
Do you still require further evidence that something is at play here?
Let us hear from the so called ‘Early Church Fathers’
themselves, upon whom the rock of Christianity is built?
And don’t think that because you may belong to one of those denominations that keep the Shabbat that you are an exception. Your denomination also broke off from the rotten tree of Catholicism where the roots were already polluted and corrupted and are therefore upholding some of their pagan ways and practices in ignorance.
Unknowingly, the protestants and sabbath denominations hold fast to the disregard, dishonour and disrespect for the Father’s Qodesh Name. But if you are reading this today, the Heavenly Father, Yahuah, is speaking to you through the writings of one of his Natsarim.
Now, let’s hear from those pagan church fathers as they share their own thoughts on
the Name of the Creator.

These excerpts are taken from the book ‘A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs’ by David W. Bercot, 2025, pp 313-314
“God has no name, for everything that has a name is related to created things” – Aristedes.
“He has as many virtues as are distinctive to a God who is called by no proper name – Justin Martyr.
“As to the name of God the Father and Lord of the universe … if anyone dares to say that there is a name, he raves with a hopeless madness” – Justin Martyr.
“God cannot be called by any proper name. For names are given to mark out and distinguish various subject matters, because these matters are many and diverse. However, no one existed before God who could give Him a name, nor did He Himself think it right to name Himself” – Justin Martyr.
The Name of God the Father had been published to no one” – Tertullian
“Neither must you ask for a name of God. God is His name” – Mark Minucius Felix
We defend the conduct of the Christians when they struggle even to death to avoid calling God by the name of Zeus, or to give Him a name from any other language. For they use the common name of God -either by itself or with some such addition as that of the ‘Maker of all things ‘” – Origen
Neither must you ask the name of God. God is His name” – Cyprian
As I have shown in the beginning, God does not need a name, since he is alone” - Lactantius
As I was writing those various quotes, I couldn’t help it but to be mad.
I think that my righteous anger is justified.
This is why I am writing this article today.
I am hoping that someone with a heart that is humble and ready to reverence Yahuah will finally remove the blindfold and open their eyes to the truth.
Do you want to believe and follow the doctrine of Tertulian, Justin Martyr, Cyprian, Origen and the list of these pagan converts to Christianity?
Or, do you want to follow the Truth in ‘The Way’ of Yahuah and just believe what the scripture says.
This is what Yahuah has to say:
“I am Yahuah: that is my Name: and my esteem will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” – Isaiah 42:8
When Mosheh asked for Yahuah’s Name in the book of Exodus, this is what Yahuah had to say:
And Mosheh said unto Elohiym: Behold, when I come unto the children of Yashar'el, and shall say unto them: The Elohai of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me: What is his name? What shall I say unto them?
And Elohiym said unto El-Mosheh, Ehayah Asher Ehayah: and he said: Thus, shall you say unto the children of Yashar'el, Ehayah (I the Yah, Am I Yah) has sent me unto you.
And Elohiym said moreover unto El-Mosheh: Thus, shall you say unto the children of Yashar'el, Yahuah Elohai (The Mighty One) of your fathers, the Elohai of Avraham, the Elohai of Yitschaq, and the Elohai of Ya'aqov, has sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my mention unto all generations. Shemoth (Exodus) 3:13-15
And I appeared unto El-Avraham, unto El-Yitschaq, and unto El-Ya'aqov, by El Shaddai (The Almighty Aluah), but by my name Yahuah was I not known to them. Shemoth (Exodus) 6:3
And by the way, the word Jehovah found in your KJV is also lie!
There is no ‘J,V” amongst some other letters in paleo Hebrew. J was also introduced into the English language in the 1500s.
We actually address his Name in the paleo Hebrew script in another article.
The purpose of this article is to show you the error that you have been following for so long by dishonouring the Heavenly Father by calling Him by those unclean titles. I do hope that you will be quick to put away the deception and the lie.
Even the Ben (Son) of Aluah, Yahusha, declared the Father’s Name and revealed it unto
His Talmidiym (disciples).
“I have revealed Your Name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have guarded Your Word. – John 17:6
“And I have made Your Name known to them, and shall make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me might be in them, and I in them.” – John 17:26
So, tell me, are those so called ‘Early Church Fathers’, right?
The Heavenly Father did not name Himself?
We can clearly see from just a few scriptures amongst hundreds and thousands of others that he clearly has A Name!! Not Names but One Name.
The truth is, we have also been subjected to another evil working in the background. It is the pollution of the ‘Ineffable Name Doctrine’.

5. Increased understanding of the hidden workings of the ‘Ineffable Name Doctrine’.
Some of you may have already heard about the ‘Ineffable Name Doctrine’ whilst for others, this might be something completely new.
Basically, the ‘ineffable name doctrine’ is one which states that the Heavenly Father’s Name is too qodesh (holy) to pronounce, leading to its avoidance or substitution with the titles of God and Lord.
This was promoted by the corrupted Jews between the period 100 – 300 AD.
The Septuagint, also played a role in promulgating this error, due to a mistranslation of Leviticus 24:16.
This mistranslation can be found in the Septuagint Greek Translation of 257.
Lev 24:16 reads:
“And he that names the name of the Lord, let him die
death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with
stones; whether he be a stranger or a native, let him
naming the name of the Lord.” (Brenton – LXX)
This is what it actually says in Hebrew:
“And he that blasphemes the name of Yahuah, he shall surely be put to death, and all the assembly shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemes the name of Yahuah, shall be put to death. Vayiqra (Leviticus) 24:16
It is only when someone blasphemed the Name of Yahuah, they were put to death … not for calling on His Name as he has asked us to do in His Word?
As a matter of fact, this is what Yahuah has actually prohibited us from naming.
“And in all things that I have said unto you be guarded: and make no mention of the name of other elohiym, neither let it be heard out of your mouth. Shemoth (Exodus) 23:13
We’ve already seen from numerous scriptures above that Yahuah made His Name known, he wants us to declare His Name and even His Ben (Son) revealed His Name.
As a matter of fact, the Son came in the Father’s Name.
The Father’s Name is Yahuah – Yah who adds life/breath and the Name of the Son is Yahusha – Yah who adds deliverance/salvation.
The Father’s Name is nowhere in the name of Jesus – that Greco-Roman-English translation which has absolutely no meaning.
“But I know you that you have not the love of Aluah in you. I am come in my Father's Name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive”. Yochanon (John) 5:43
Yahusha was speaking to men whom He knew did not love the Heavenly Father and so they rejected Him and His Name.
Everyone receives the Greco-Roman-English made up name that Yahuah did not give His Son. And we have been silently trained to reject both the Father’s Name and the Name of His Son that he, the Almighty power has sanctified.
Another major conviction for me came when I learnt that it was actually sinful to reject the Father’s Name.

6. The Breaking of the 3rd Commandment - Recognizing my sin in ignorance.
The 3rd commandment says that you should not bring the Name of Yahuah, your Aluah to nought; for Yahuah will not hold him guiltless that brings his name to naught.
In our KJV translation it says to not bring his name to vain.
Let us go deeper and explore that given Hebrew word ‘shua’.
Vain – H7723 – shav from H7722 shua which means ruin, uselessness, vain
First of all, the crime or sin is committed by the translators who decided to remove His Name over 6000 times in our scripture.
We have been clearly told that we should not
“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may guard the commandments of Yahuah Elohaykem which I command you. Devariym (Deuteronomy) 4:2
“Every word of Aluah is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add not unto his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar. Mishlei (Proverbs) 30:5-6
As followers of Yahuah, we should all have a heart that is ready to obey His words exactly.
So, by removing His Name and replacing it with such unclean titles as we have already
discerned, they have committed sin; as they have brought his name to uselessness,
ruin or naught.
Then, we the readers of the scripture, sin in ignorance, because we have rendered His
Great Name useless in our lives, until he reveals His Truth to us by His Ruach
Ha’Qodesh (Set Apart Spirit).
Because, if we sin in ignorance, we are still guilty and Yahuah expects us to repent and turn away once that sin has been brought to our mind.
“And if a soul sin and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of Yahuah; though he knew it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity”. Vayiqra (Leviticus) 5:17
Do note, that ‘I didn’t know’ is not an acceptable response at the judgement bar.
When you have become knowledgeable of that sin or iniquity, you MUST repent.
My dear qadashym (saint), that is exactly what I did.
I repented to the Heavenly Father for this terrible sin in ignorance.
I repented for having addressed him by the unclean titles of God and Lord, given to me
by men who did not love Him and thought nothing of Him and made the conscious
decision to bring His Name to nothingness.
Can you believe that these pagan Christian converts had the audacity to remove the Name of the Author of the scriptures from His very own writings?
That is atrocious indeed!
“And therefore ask no more questions concerning the multitude of them that perish. For when they had taken liberty, they despised El Elyon, thought scorn of his Torah, and forsook his ways. Moreover, they have trodden down his righteous, And said in their heart, that there is no Elohiym; yea, and that knowing they must die.
For as the things aforesaid shall receive you, so thirst and pain are prepared for them: for it was not his will that men should come to naught: But they which be created have defiled the name of him that made them and were unthankful unto him which prepared life for them”. Ezra Reviy`iy (4 Ezra) 8:55-60
You see, by removing His Name, they have defiled it!
They have made it unclean, impure or something that is unholy.
They have removed the possibility for man, created by Yahuah and given His breath of life, to use that very breath to exalt and magnify is qodesh (holy) Name.
Here’s a deeper revelation that Yahuah has revealed to me.
By constantly reading the scriptures with those unclean titles, it validates the lie and programs our subconscious to accept the deceit and unconsciously reject the Father’s Name and the Name of His Son.
Here’s proof.
When you approach the majority of Christians, regardless of the denomination, and attempt to share this truth with them, they SHUT YOU DOWN. Some answer NOT A WORD and the communication trail goes dead.
They are unable to recognize that they have been deceived by men and have been programmed to follow the doctrine of those ‘Early Church Father’ and the wicked converted Christian pagans of the Ecumenical council that tampered with the Hebrew scriptures.
I have come to learn in my journey that accepting the Father’s Name and making that decision to give him honour, reverence and exaltation by His Name requires a HEART CHANGE!!

7. A growing heart with strong desire to reverence Yahuah!
This brings us to my last reason why I no longer pray using the unclean titles of God and Lord.
I had reached the point in my walk where I felt a burning desire to go deeper in my relationship with the Heavenly Father. I had already begun to make certain demonstrable changes.
I started reading and studying my scriptures a lot more; investing longer time in intercessory prayer; cutting out all worldly music and going into deeper worship.
I am not professing that it is because of anything that I have done; but there are things that are certainly required of us.
Jer 29:13 says “and ye shall seek for me and ye shall find me when ye shall search for me with ALL YOUR HEART”.
Before Yahuah, I made that decision to search for Him with all my heart and barak (bless) Yahuah that he saw it fitting to reveal His key of knowledge to me!
Yahusha accused the teachers of the Torah of removing the key of knowledge. See Strongs G1108, gnosis, which comes from G1097 ginosko, which means ‘to know or understand’.
What is it that we ought to know or understand?
We have to grow in our journey of knowing and understanding Yahuah!
Thus said Yahuah, “Let not the wise boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty boast in his might, nor let the rich boast in his riches.
but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am Yahuah, doing kindness, right-ruling, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” declares Yahuah” (Jer 9:23-24).
Prov 9:10 also says that “knowledge of the qodesh (holy) is understanding”.
Knowing and understanding Yahuah is also the key to life eternal.
Let’s examine the words of Yahusha’s own prayer in John 17.
“These words spoke Yahusha, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you: As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true Yah, and Yahusha Ha'Mashiach, whom you have sent. Yochanon (John) 17:1-3
A large part of coming to know Yahuah is to also know His Name.
His Name is a key and He reveals it, that which has been hidden, to whom he wills.
And we, His people love Him and love His Name!
It is such a precious thing to Yahuah that He even has a book of record or
remembrance for those who think upon His Name.
“Then they that feared Yahuah spoke often one to another: and Yahuah hearkened, and heard it, and a cepher (book) of record/remembrance was written before him for them that feared Yahuah, and that thought upon his name. Mal`akiy (Malachi) 3:16
He goes on to say that such people are His and He will set aside special jewels for them.
And they shall be mine, says Yahuah Tseva'oth, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves Elohiym and him that serves him not”. Mal`akiy (Malachi) 3:17-18
I pilal (pray) that you have seen by now that calling the Heavenly Father by His Name is not a light matter!
This is a personal decision between you and your Creator.
Are you going to carry on with the tradition of men or are you going to honour your Creator?
I am not here to convince anyone.
I am only here to witness to you and the decision is yours.
Let the Ruach of Yahuah be your guide and His Word be your teacher.
I leave you with these few scriptures.
“Teach me Your Way, O Yahuah, let me walk in Your Truth; unit my heart to revere Your Name” (Ps 86:11)
“I will praise You, O Yahuah my Aluah, with all my heart: and I will esteem your Name forevermore” (Ps 86:12)
“Yahuah’s voice cries unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see your Name: hear he the rod, and who has appointed it” (Micha 6:9)
“I have remembered your Name in the night and have guarded your Torah” (Ps 119:55)
“Therefore, my people shall know my Name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks: behold, it is I” (Isaiah 52:6).
“Give unto Yahuah the esteem due unto His Name …” (Ps 96:8)
I love the Name of Yahuah and I love giving Him the esteem that is due unto His Qodesh Name.

I hope that this article has been a barakah to you and your walk.
Make the decision to draw closer to Yahuah now and do not delay, for time is not in your hands but His.
May Yahuah Barak you with increasing wisdom and understanding as you grow in His knowledge of Him.

You are so right in that decision. I became very uncomfortable when I heard men being addressed as lord. Especially discovering their revolting character and habits. I have always asked the Divine Creator to show me the TRUTH. I have been shown in so many ways. So I will continue to avoid those words as much as possible.
