The Many-Breasted One

God’s Name El Shaddai

El Shaddai is the name by which God revealed Himself to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

It is derived from the Hebrew word “shad,” which means “breast.”

“El Shaddai” literally means “The Many-Breasted One.”

Basically, when God revealed Himself to Abraham as El Shaddai, He used the image we have of a baby nursing at its mother’s breasts to demonstrate how we are to receive from God.

Yes, God reveals Himself to us as The Many-Breasted One.

Is it because He has a lot of breasts?

No; God the Father is Spirit and does not have a fleshly body.

Is it because He is female?

NO, of course not; God is completely above the human concept of gender.

GOD is wholly other. Both male and female were made in the image of God.

BOTH male-ness and female-ness were derived from who God is,

and God clearly calls Himself “He” in the Bible.

So why does God call Himself the Many-Breasted One?

To show us who He is and to demonstrate His attributes.

Basically, when God revealed Himself to Abraham as El Shaddai, He used the image we have of a baby nursing at its mother’s breasts to demonstrate how we are to receive from God.

The enemy has tried to steal the understanding of “nursing” at God’s breast from God’s people.

There is an unholy substitute for every holy thing.

And sometimes the unholy thing gets so loud that we don’t realize there’s a holy original!

So, what’s the unholy substitute for God’s name “El Shaddai”?

Think of all the pictures you have probably seen of false gods–idols, demon gods that people worship–that have lots of breasts.

Think of all the stories you have heard about “goddesses of fertility” and the multiple breasts their idols always portray.

ALL of those idols are the enemy’s perverted twistings. 

The enemy is trying to steal God’s worship. Don’t let Him.

God Most High is El Shaddai, the Many-Breasted One.

Call on Him today and draw on His very nature for everything you need!

And don’t let the enemy steal the revelation of El Shaddai from you.
