His name is more then just a word

You can look up all the different names used in reference to God, but what do they mean? Do they contain wisdom? How do I use them? Should I use them?

I believe there is great power in his names, its who he is. I believe we should study his names, get to know him. who is he? What can he do? What can I ask him for? We know our worldly families , and can answer almost any question asked about them. God is no different. We should know him even better. We know how the computer works what button moves what. Lets find out what God likes, What makes him move, what makes our Father happy. I use all these names in prayer whether for healing, peace, wisdom, or discernment,
