Question

What does the name El Shaddai mean?

Answer

When He met Abraham, 6th chapter of Genesis back there, He met him in the Name of Jehovah, of God, the Almighty. Now, the word in the Hebrew is from the word “El Shaddai,” which means “the—the breast, the nourishing,” like the woman nourishes her baby. Abraham was ninety and nine years old, no children. His wife, Sarah, was past eighty. She had…They had no children. But God told him, “I am El Shaddai. I am the brave—the breast. I’m the Almighty.” In other words, “No matter how weak you are, I can nourish you back to health again. He’s still Almighty God. He’s El Shaddai tonight. You say, “I’m old, Brother Branham. Is healing for me?” Yes. Amen. It’s “whosoever will, let him come.” You say, “I belong to the Methodist.” I don’t care where you belong, healing is for you if you believe it. El Shaddai, the Almighty. Let down the net, Lord. You say, “Well, I’m old. Well, I’ve had this infirmity, this female trouble; I’ve had this for years and years. I’ve tried the doctor and everything. But at Thy Word, Lord, I will let down the net.”
