There is Power in the NAME of JESUS

I have been mediating upon this lately and I believe that the Lord is speaking to us that there is more to the name of Jesus than what we have been able to understand to this point. Just recently my pastor began a sermon series about the names of Jesus and how they describe Him. I do not believe that this is a coincidence but a part of what God is trying to speak into the Church in this hour.


The world as we know it is looking for an answer. The Church proclaims that it has the answer, but do we really believe it? Do we really believe that there is power and authority in the name of Jesus? When one studies out the life of the early church it appears that they used the name of Jesus everywhere they went and the world was turned upside down as a result. Jesus gave us His name. Remember this is a name that is above every name. But what does that really mean?


If the name of Jesus is above every name than it means that cancer, heart disease, fear, depression, etc. must bow its knee to His name. After all the aforementioned things that the world system and the devil try to place upon people are nothing more than names. And if the one we serve is greater than all of this or whatever one is faced with, than should we not be using the Name of Jesus, in faith, more often?


Church, I challenge you to use the name of Jesus where ever you go. I have used that name many a times in my workplace and in other venues and have seen that Name affect change in people's lives. After all Church we are the carriers of the Name. Let us exercise that authority and power with love to those in need by using the name above every name, JESUS!
