Jesus gave us His name as a symbol of authority, in dealing with the powers of darkness and their works.
4. THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST (2)
Yeshua, Jesus, is our Saviour who died to save and redeem us. He overcame the powers of darkness on the Cross. He overcame death by resurrecting in victory. He is seated on the right hand of God in heaven interceding for us. Through His Cross and Blood we have been reconciled with the Father and have victory over the powers sin, Satan and death. Jesus has given us power and authority through His name.
UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF HIS NAME
Philippians 2:9-11 TPT
“[9] Because of that obedience, God exalted him and multiplied his greatness! He has now been given the greatest of all names! [10] The authority of the name of Jesus causes every knee to bow in reverence! Everything and everyone will one day submit to this name—in the heavenly realm, in the earthly realm, and in the demonic realm. [11] And every tongue will proclaim in every language: “Jesus Christ is Lord Yahweh,” bringing glory and honour to God, his Father!”
God has exalted Jesus and given Him a name above all other names. All things, including demons, principalities, powers and Satan himself; submit to the name of Jesus. Therefore, at the mention of the name of Jesus Christ, every knee must bow, in all realms – heaven, on earth and beneath the earth. When we mention or call upon the name of Jesus, in warfare, the enemy has no choice than to obey, submit, bow and/or back off.
Luke 10:17 NKJV
“Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”
Acts 16:18 NKJV
“And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour.”
Finally, Jesus promised us that anything we ask the Father in His name will be given and fulfilled. So, in prayer we can present our requests before the Father, in Jesus’ name.
John 16:23-24 NKJV
“[23] And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. [24] Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”
The name of Jesus works for us in all realms – before the Father in heaven, and against the powers and works of darkness on the earth and beneath the earth. Glory! Hallelujah!
Learn to call on the name of Jesus, in every temptation, testing, trial or battle. IN JESUS’ NAME!!! AMEN!!!
