The Most Majestic Name

I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most High. ---Psalm 7:17

As a child of God, you possess great power because you are in relationship with the Most High God. El Elyon is the most majestic name we find in all the scriptures. El Elyon means the God Most High and Mighty One Most High. It carries great authority on our behalf.

There are millions of gods worshipped all over the earth. Yet, they are all stone or men who have died or will die and their bones remain in the grave. El Elyon, however is living and continues to hold dominion over all the earth. The Hebrew root of Elyon is Alah which means to go up, ascend, climb and exalt. There is no existing thing, no god that is higher than the Most High God. He is the possessor of heaven, earth and everything in them. No other name can compare with this name. There is an untouchable quality and incomprehensible dominion and might in El Elyon.

I would suggest that you read about one who tried to conquer the position of El Elyon in Isaiah 14:13, 14. The story is about Lucifer, the highest ranking angel in God’s heaven. But Lucifer started thinking about himself, how qualified he was over all the other beings in heaven, and imagined himself as gaining power and authority over El Elyon! Then continue reading to find out what God said and did! He did not put up with this prideful maneuver and cast Lucifer and all his followers out of heaven. Jesus was there at that time and told his disciples during His visit on earth saying, “I saw Satan fall like lightening from heaven.” (Luke 10:18)

The Most High had the last word for Satan then and He still does for you when you are His child! Let’s continue to read what Jesus told his disciples as a result of Satan being cast from heaven, “Behold, I give you the authority (right to act) to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Satan), and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19)

Any time you feel defeated through circumstances, people or even the assault of the devil himself, know that El Elyon, the Mighty Most High God will always have the last Word for anyone who chooses to challenge His authority. Jesus came to bring the government of heaven to God’s people so that you may now have His authority to defeat the devil and all his plans against you.

You may ask, “How to I exercise this authority?” I’m glad you asked! First of all, if you have erred, missed the mark, sinned that has opened the door for the enemy to attack, then ask forgiveness. God has promised that when you repent, He will forget and never bring it back again.

Next, you must be convinced that Jesus delivered to you the authority and power that He carried on this earth. I just sited one of the times where Jesus, in His own words in Luke 10:19 passed on His authority. We must always act in faith. Faith is not just knowing in our head, but doing and saying what we believe. So speak out your authority, remind the devil that he has no power over you because you are a child of God and you have been given authority over him and your circumstances, diseases, finances, etc. Say this with conviction!

Then declare to God that you will receive His promises and that you expect Him to come through with them. This makes God very happy because you are confirming to Him that you know His Word and you have expectations of the Most High God coming through. YOU ARE MORE THAN A CONQUERER THROUGH CHRIST JESUS!

Confession: My God is El Elyon, the Most High God. There is no other god that holds His power or authority. Satan was defeated by El Elyon in Heaven and by Jesus on the earth who passed His power and authority on to me as His child. I will be more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus who loves me. (Romans 8:37)
