    Study Notes

    Habit 1: Flip the Script

    • Changing the story of our lives begins with changing the narratives we tell ourselves about ourselves, our beliefs, and our experiences.

    Self-Perception and Names

    • In Jewish culture, names held significant importance and were often chosen based on their meanings, defining a person's identity and character.
    • Names were believed to have protective and blessing qualities, and invoking someone's name was thought to have power and significance.
    • God is the one who places significance on one's name, as seen in the Bible.

    Examples of Name Changes in the Bible

    • Isaac - means "he laughs" or "laughter" (Genesis 17:19)
    • Israel - means "he struggles with God" or "God struggles" (Genesis 32:28)
    • Jabez - means "he causes pain" or "he grieves" (1 Chronicles 4:9-10)
    • Jesus - means "Yahweh saves" or "God saves" (Matthew 1:21)
    • Solomon - means "peace" or "peaceful" (2 Samuel 12:24-25)
    • John the Baptist - means "Yahweh is gracious" or "God is gracious" (Luke 1:13)
    • Jeremiah - means "Yahweh exalts" or "Yahweh establishes" (Jeremiah 1:5)

    Biblical Leaders and Their Descriptions

    • Moses - Exodus 33:11, "The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend."
    • Abraham - James 2:23, "And the scripture was fulfilled that says, 'Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,' and he was called God's friend."
    • David - 1 Samuel 13:14, "But now your kingdom will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the Lord's command."
    • Solomon - 1 Kings 3:9, "So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?"
    • Joshua - Numbers 27:18, "So the Lord said to Moses, 'Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit of leadership, and lay your hand on him.'"

    Name Changes in the Bible

    • Abram to Abraham - Genesis 17:5, "No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations."
    • Sarai to Sarah - Genesis 17:15, "And God said to Abraham, 'As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.'"
    • Jacob to Israel - Genesis 32:28, "Then he said, 'Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.'"
    • Simon to Peter - Matthew 16:18, "And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
    • Saul to Paul - Acts 13:9, "But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him."
    • Hoshea to Joshua - Numbers 13:16, "These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua."

    Significance of Name Changes

    • A name change can signify a transformation or a new identity.

    • In the case of Abram and Sarai, the name change allowed them to receive the promise of a son from God.

    • In the case of Simon to Peter, Jesus gave him a new name to prepare him for his role in building the foundation of the Church.### The Power of God's Name

    • Only Peter, the rock, carried the level of anointing that his mere shadow healed people, as a result of Jesus' transformation in his life.

    The New Name in God

    • Born-again individuals receive a new name - God's name (Revelation 2:17).
    • This new name is written on a white stone, known only to the recipient (Revelation 2:17).
    • In Numbers 6:27, God's name is placed on the Israelites, resulting in blessings.

    Attributes of God's Name

    • The Bible provides over 400 names for God, each attached to an attribute (Mark Batterson).
    • When we accept Jesus, God puts all these attributes on us, empowering us to become what we are not.

    The Impact of God's Name

    • God's name gives us the ability to fulfill our calling and deeds (Revelation 2:17).
    • Examples of individuals who have received God's name and produced remarkable fruit are evident throughout the Bible.

    The Prayer of Salvation

    • To receive God's name and salvation, pray: "Father God, I repent of my sins and surrender my life. Wash me clean. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That he died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day for my Victory, I believe that in my heart and make confession with my mouth, that Jesus is my Savior and Lord. From this day forward, I know that I will spend eternity in Heaven with You. I thank you and praise you for this, in Jesus' name. Amen."
