Elihu is a hebrew name that means “My God is He.”
I am a follower of Christ and I write these things to proclaim God’s power and majesty. Thousands of years ago, a young man named Elihu listened as older men spoke and misspoke about God and His purpose. Elihu, being younger, held his tongue. Finally, he could not restrain himself any longer. He felt compelled to proclaim the awesome, unfathomable nature of God.
I have learned many things about God and His Word at the feet of wise men and women. What they have taught me has been a gift. What God through His Word continues to teach me is an even greater gift. I have heard the voices of people shouting and swirling around me, and it seems that there are so many who do not truly know God. Like Elihu from the book of Job, my desire is to proclaim the majesty of God, to draw near to Him and draw others with me.
What I share here on this humble corner of the web is what I have learned and discovered. May the reader be edified and uplifted.
God be with you.
~ Elihu

I have also been greatly Blessed Elihu when other Christians have shared God’s Truth as confirmed in Scripture, I remember too that Jesus is our only Spiritual Teacher and will lead us into all Truth through the empowering of The Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 and as confirmed below. I’m pleased you have a strong focus on The Lord too and will look forward to sharing with you.
Matthew 23:8-10 But you do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher The Christ and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your Father for One is your Father He who is in Heaven. And do not be called Teachers for One is your Teacher The Christ. NKJV
1John 2:26-28 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you and ye need not that any man teach you but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things and is Truth and is no lie and even as it hath taught you ye shall abide in Him.
Colossians 2 :2 -3 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in Love and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God and of the Father and of Christ In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
1John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding that we may know Him that is True and we are in Him that is True even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the True God, and eternal life.
John 15:14-15 Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not Servants for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth but I have called you friends for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.(KJV)
Matthew 10:26-28 Fear them not therefore for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed and hid that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness that speak ye in light and what ye hear in the ear that preach ye upon the housetops (KJV)
Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you shall go I will guide you with Mine eye.
John 16:13 -15. Howbeit when He, The Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all Truth: for He shall not speak of Himself but whatsoever He shall hear that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I that He shall take of mine and shall shew it unto you.
Christian Love Always – Anne.
