Philippians 2:9–11
Therefore Yahuah also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Yahusha every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Yahusha Ha'Mashiach is Master, to the glory of Yahuah the Father.
The Name Yahusha (Jesus)
That is a name of unmatched power. Demons tremble at it. The sick are healed through it. The dead are raised by it. So the name matters — it has always mattered. And we believe we have a responsibility to call upon it as accurately and reverently as possible.
Why We Use the Name Yahusha
To Restore the Sacred Name of the Mashiach (Messiah)
What does "Yahusha" actually mean?
The name Yahusha (יהושע) means "Yahuah is Salvation" or "Yahuah saves." It is a combination of two powerful elements: Yahu — a direct reference to the Father's name, Yahuah — and sha, drawn from the Hebrew root yasha, meaning to save, to deliver, to rescue.
When you speak this name, you are declaring the Father's identity and the Son's mission in a single breath. There is no separation between who the Father is and what the Son came to do. The name itself is a complete declaration of the gospel.

The Son has come in His Father's Name
I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me.
— Yochanon (John) 5:43
This is not a casual statement. Yahusha declared plainly that He came bearing His Father's name. The Father's name — Yahuah — is embedded within the Son's name — Yahusha. This is by divine design, not coincidence.
In Yochanon (John) 17:26, Yahusha also prayed: "I have made Your name known to them, and will continue to make it known." The Son came to reveal the Father's name. It would be a strange thing indeed if His own name bore no connection to that same Father.

How did we arrive at "Jesus"?
The name traveled a long road — from Hebrew into Greek, from Greek into Latin, and from Latin into English. Along the way, something vital was lost. There was no "J" sound in ancient Hebrew. There was no "J" in Greek. In fact, the letter "J" itself did not exist in the English language until the 17th century.
Through centuries of translation and transliteration, the sacred connection between the Son's name and the Father's name was obscured. What was once Yahusha — a name that literally carries the Father's name within it — became a name with no Hebrew root and no connection to Yahuah at all.
We do not say this to condemn anyone who has called upon that name sincerely. Yahuah sees and knows the heart. But as a people being called back to truth, we have a responsibility to restore what has been hidden.

The Power and Authority in His Name!
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
— Ma'asiym (Acts) 4:12
That name is Yahusha Ha'Mashiach — Yahusha, the Anointed One. This is the name that caused demons to cry out in the synagogue in Marqus (Mark) 1:24. This is the name the disciples used to heal the lame man at the gate called Beautiful in Ma'asiym (Acts) 3:6. This is the name that every knee — in heaven, on earth, and under the earth — will one day bow to.
The enemy's greatest deception has been to create confusion around this name. But the power has never left it. Yahusha is still making demons tremble today.

A Word To Those Who Are New To This Teaching
We understand this may be unfamiliar. Some of you grew up singing beloved hymns with a different name. Some of you were baptized under a different name. We honor your journey and we receive you with open arms.
But part of maturing in faith is allowing truth to refine what we have inherited — not to shame the past, but to walk in greater light going forward. As Ya'aqov (James) 4:8 says, "Draw near to Yahuah and He will draw near to you." Part of drawing near is calling upon Him as He truly is.
We are not interested in the version of His Son that centuries of religious tradition handed us. We want Yahusha — the One who walked the dusty roads of Galilee, cast out demons, raised Lazarus, and conquered death — by His true and set-apart name.
