The Lord promises to give those who endure to the end a new name written on a white stone.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. (Revelation 2:17)

Names are significant. Your name shapes your character.

God changed the names of prominent individuals in the Bible to change their destiny.

Abram’s name was changed to Abraham to become the Father of many nations (Genesis 17:5).

Abraham’s wife, Sarai’s, name was changed to Sarah to become the mother of nations (Genesis 17:15-16). 

Jacob’s name was changed to Israel to become – contender or soldier of God.

Moses changed Hosea’s name to Joshua, which means Jehovah saves (Numbers 13:16).

Joshua led the Israelites across Jordan and conquered all the nations in the Promised Land.

Jesus changed Saul’s name to Paul who suffered many tribulations to spread the gospel to the world. (Acts 9; 13:9)

If you find yourself living in defeat ask the Lord to change you name and your destiny.

The Lord wants you to live a victorious life in Him. 

For Zion’s sake, I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns. The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory.

You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will name. You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. (Isaiah 62:1-3 NKJV)

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.

You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
