This is Hungry Gen podcast and I just want to thank you for joining us today.

Here at HG, our vision is to see thousands saved locally and millions globally.

We hope you enjoy this week's message.

Today I want to share a little bit with you.

Something God put on my heart, the title of the message is name change. Name change. I'm going to go through a few different places in Scripture.

Throughout Scripture, names and name changes has been very significant,

not only because of the importance of the change, but the importance

of names in Old Testament and even in the New Testament, let me say in old and the good old times,

one's name meant something.

Names used to be the number one identifier of a person.

Today that's not the case.

My name is public, but my number one most important and secret identifier is a number today. I believe, I'm not saying that we should

rebel against the government, but I think that this world is run by powers of darkness. And

everything that happened from the beginning is a plan from the enemy to reduce our identity to just a number.

A dot in the register.

Oh, I'm just 517.

Okay, now I know who you are.

When you said, record, I don't know who you mean.

There are so many records.

So the purpose and the weight of one's name over time has been reduced

and reduced and reduced. So I want you to keep that in mind as we go through today's passage.

There are about five name changes in scripture and we'll go through each of them quickly
