The wonderful name of Jesus
One of the truths that has eluded the church is the knowledge of the power in the wonderful name of Jesus. In this Kingdom, you must understand who you are, what you have and what you can do. In this Kingdom, we are the redeemed of the Lord, we are heirs of the Kingdom, we are kings and priests, we are blessed to be a blessing, we are anointed, authorised and gifted. You must be fed with the Word of God, which is the spiritual balanced diet. Everything we are, we are in Christ. Everything we have, we have in Christ. Everything we can do, we can do in Christ, Who has given us the power to do exploits. You are to take ownership of the name and use it wisely. For this to happen, He gave the church the gift of His name and the gift of the Holy Spirit. The moment you take ownership of the name, you will go everywhere in the name, perform signs and wonders in the name, cast out evil spirits in the name and obtain answers in prayer by the name.
When you come to the knowledge of the power conferred upon us by the name, you begin to live out a prosperous, fruitful and victorious Christian life. Also, the more you know this, the easier and better your life becomes. Every one of us must seek to walk in the light of this truth. Victory in this Kingdom is tied to the knowledge in the name. The Jews know that a man and his name are one.
Therefore, everything that Jesus is is locked up in His name. The power and the glory of Jesus are all in His name. Knowing this, the Apostles took ownership of the name. They understood that calling the name of Jesus does not only bring Him into the situation – it releases all the power that He represents. Jesus, by His name, gave the church the power to stand in His office and exercise the authority of the same. The name of Jesus confers on us authority, that when exercised, the power of God is triggered to produce our desired outcome. The name of Jesus holds power in Heaven, on earth and in hell. The name of Jesus works in all the realms and all human jurisdictions. His Kingdom has no end.
The name of Jesus was given to the church for prayer and Spiritual warfare. In prayer, we petition the court of heaven desiring the mercies of God. In warfare, we exercise our authority over devil and satanic activities. Whenever we pray in the name of Jesus, the responsibility to perform passes from our lips to the hand of Jesus. In prayer, we are to pray the prayer of faith; the Lord is the one that carries out the healing or our desired outcome. When we pray in the name of Jesus, we become one with Jesus, Who right now is praying for us before the Father. Jesus before the Father ensures our petitions are granted .The name of Jesus holds power and honour in the Court of Heaven. That is the name we must carry into the place of prayer. In Spiritual warfare, at the mention of the name of Jesus, sicknesses are healed, strongholds are broken and knees bow. At the mention of the name, devils flee.
