He Knows You By Name – A Word by Steve Porter

One particular day many years ago I went into prayer a desperate young man, fully aware that it was possible to hear God’s voice. I prayed for about an hour but nothing happened. I didn’t feel a single goose bump; in fact I felt nothing at all. It felt as if the heavens were brass and God was ignoring me. I was young and didn’t fully realize that I was not to run after feelings but exercise faith even when I felt nothing in the secret place.
I prayed for another hour, and still nothing happened. I prayed constantly for a total of three hours and still nothing happened. After about three and a half hours, I couldn’t help thinking that I should just give up – that God wasn’t going to answer me, but something deep inside me compelled me to stay in His presence. I knew I had to press in, with the same tenacity as Jacob when he wrestled with that angel. After about four hours on my knees in that little church, God’s presence finally entered the room, and I began to weep uncontrollably. Then God spoke to me. It wasn’t in a booming voice that others could hear, but it might as well have been, because it was so loud in my spirit that there was no question that it was God’s voice and not Satan or my own imagination. I will never forget what He said, “Steve, I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I am the God of Steve Porter too.”

I wept for over an hour as I lingered in His presence, because I was so struck by the fact that God actually knew my name. I was special to Him. Nobody outside of my small community may have known my name, but the Creator of heaven and earth did. After all the pain of humiliation and rejection I had endured all those years, God knew me by name.
No matter how worthless and unworthy you may feel, God knows your name, too; He has not forgotten you. There may be billions of others on the planet, but God knows you as an individual, and you are special to Him. No matter what struggle you’re in the midst of today, He knows your name and where you live.
