Michael H Yeager

Michael H. Yeager (N/A–) is an American preacher, pastor, and evangelist known for founding and leading Jesus Is Lord Ministries International (JILMI), based in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Born in the United States—specific date unavailable—he experienced a dramatic conversion in 1975 while serving in the U.S. Navy, where he claims an angel appeared to him in his barracks, taking him through a white portal into a heavenly vision that affirmed his call to preach. That same year, he attended Rhema Bible Training Center, and in 1978, he married Kathleen, with whom he has co-led their ministry. They began JILMI in 1983, the year God reportedly instructed Yeager to use television for gospel outreach, initiating a focus on media ministry. Yeager’s preaching career spans over four decades, during which he has delivered more than 10,000 sermons and founded over 25 churches. He has served as a pastor, apostle, missionary, and broadcaster, owning radio stations and broadcasting via satellite and low-power TV stations through The Word Broadcasting Network, launched in 1996. A prolific author, he has written over 300 books, including titles like Hell Is For Real: One Man’s Terrifying Journey and Smith Wigglesworth: OVERCOMING THE SPIRIT OF UNBELIEF, often emphasizing personal testimonies of miracles and divine encounters. Ordained by figures like Lester Sumrall and Wilford Reidt, Yeager continues to lead JILMI, focusing on global evangelism and discipleship through media and local church ministry. He and Kathleen have children, including Michael and Stephanie, who assist in the ministry.

Sermon Transcription
We're going to be speaking on the names of Jesus today. See, I began to study the scriptures some time ago, and the Spirit of God took me back where Jesus asked his disciples, whom do you say that I am? And they were all quiet for a while until Peter spoke up, and he said, You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Now, Jesus made an amazing statement. He said, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this unto you, but my Father which is in heaven. And he declared that upon this foundation, upon this rock of who Christ is, that he would build the kingdom of God, and the gates of hell would not prevail against this. And now, once again, as we go through the pages of history within the last 2,000 years, I believe the Spirit of God would speak to us once again, and he would ask us the same exact question. Whom do you say that I am? And as I studied the scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, from A to Z, I began to have my eyes open to the reality of who Jesus really is. And my brothers and my sister, precious brethren, precious sisters, I discovered the reality of some amazing truths that over 400 names declare the types and the shadows and the names of Jesus. You see, my friends, he's the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the one who was, who is, who is coming again. He's the ancient of days, almighty God, anointed one of Israel, all-knowing God, advocate, ark of safety. He's the apostle of my faith, and the apostle of my confession, the author of my faith, and the author of eternal salvation. He's the authority of heaven and earth, arm of the Lord, atoning blood, absolute authority, amen and amen, my all and in all. He's the all-powerful Lord, the abiding presence, who will never leave us nor forsake us. He's the Adonai, the Lord our master. He's the awesome God. He's the baptizer in all, holy ghost and fire, banker to the poor, beauty of the Lord, beauty of holiness, beautiful Savior. He's the beloved of the Father, beloved of the bride, and beloved son. He's the blessed redeemer, blessed and only potentate, beginning of creation, bishop of my soul. He's the breath of the almighty. He's the bread of heaven, the bread of life. He's the blood of the covenant. He's by his stripes, I am healed. He's the bright and morning star, the brazen serpent upon the pole, the bridge over troubled waters, the brightness of his glory, the express image of his person. He's the bridegroom, the branch, the buckler, the burning bush, the balm of Gilead. He's the captain of our salvation, the captain of the Lord of hosts, chief shepherd, chief cornerstone, elect and precious. He's Christ, the son of the living God, Christ of heaven, Christ our healer, Christ our Savior, Christ our deliverer, commander, consolation of Israel. He's the cornerstone, the counselor, the covenant God, the cloud by day, the compass of life, conquering king. He's the consuming fire, creator of all existing things, crowned with glory and honor. He's the day spring from on high, the day star, the deepness of God, the desire of the nations. He's the deliverer of the oppressed, obsessed and possessed, my defense. He's the destiny of the church, the DNA of heaven. He's the divine nature, the divine character, the divine personality, the divine life, the divine healer, the doorway to heaven and eternity. He's the elect of God, express image of his person, everlasting to everlasting, ever present, help in the time of trouble, eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God. Excellent is thy name in all the earth. He's the exalted Lord. He's El Shaddai, the God who's more than enough, Elohim, the three in one, Elyon, the most high God, Elulam, the unchangeable, never changing God. He's faithful and true, fairest of ten thousand, fearful in praises, fisher of man, free gift of eternal life. He's the friend to the friendless, friend that sticks closer than a brother, fire in the bush, fire that burneth the stubble, fire by night, and fire that devoureth. He's the firstborn from the dead, firstborn among many brethren, first begotten, first and the last. He's the forerunner, he's the fore-dane, the fortress, the foundation, the fountain of life, the fountain of Israel, the fountain that never runs dry. He is the fourth man in the fire, the fullness of joy, the fullness of the Godhead bodily. He's the God of patience and consolation, God alone, God of heaven, God of earth, God of mercy, God with us. God made flesh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He's the God of our salvation, the God of hope, God in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. He's the good shepherd, he's the goodness of God, the governor of the nations, the grace of God, the glorious Lord, glorious in holiness, glory of the Father, great high priest, greater one within us, great and terrible God, great king over all the earth. He's the greater one within us, the great I am, the great physician. He that took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses, he that writeth upon the heavens
