The Name Of Jesus . Friday, May 23rd . Pastor Chris And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils… they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark 16:17-18) . The Name of Jesus is the Name of the Godhead; it’s the Name that the Father and the Holy Spirit answer to! Its got to be, because the Bible says Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth (Philippians 2:9-10). That means the Father didn’t reserve for Himself any higher Name than the Name of Jesus! Therefore, He chose to invest all His authority in that Name! When you call the Name Jesus, hell quakes, demons scamper in terror, all of nature responds, and heaven stands at attention. This is why you should be confident to use the Name of Jesus, and live everyday in, and by, the power of His Name; it’s your heritage. The Name was given to you to use, and to live by. Colossians 3:17 says, “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” Peter must have remembered the words of the Master in our opening scripture, and realized we had a divine prerogative bestowed on us by the Lord to make a demand in His Name and expect results. No wonder he could look a cripple straight in the eye and say, In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” Then reaching out his hand, he grabbed him and lifted him up. The Bible records that the man, who was crippled from birth, leaping up, stood, and went into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God (Acts 3:6-8). Every Christian has the God-given right to use the Name of Jesus. When you stand in that Name, in the face of lifes crises and adversities, and before the cohorts of darkness, theyll respond to you just the same way they would respond if the Lord Himself stood before them. Use His Name today! PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for the power in the Name of Jesus, and the authority I have to use that Name against the devil, sickness, disease and the crises of life. I’m sustained by the power and authority of that Name, living the higher life of glory that you prearranged for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: John 16:23-24 TLB At that time you won’t need to ask me for anything, for you can go directly to the Father and ask him, and he will give you what you ask for because you use my name. 24 You haven’t tried this before, but begin now. [e] Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and your cup of joy will overflow., 1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. , Matthew 28:18-19 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Bible Reading Plan: John 11:1-16, 2 Kings 10-12 2 Year Bible Reading Plan: 1 Corinthians 11:30-34, Proverbs 19 EXTRACT FROM: rhapsodyofrealities.org
