For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government
will be upon
His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
"And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out
demons; they will speak with new tongues; Mark 16:17
In other to benefit from the use of the name of Jesus we need to understand what it
stands for and how strong it is? We know that from Adam our was sin, our name was
weakness, our name was fear and poverty and every other evil thing we inherited
from him. But because Jesus made a blood covenant with us and gave us Himself
completely as well as His assets and His debts, His strengths and His weaknesses to
us His covenant brothers and sisters. He also gave us His name which is now above
every name that is named in heaven or earth. God's word is true:
Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for
all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my
prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you
the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your
understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling,
what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the
exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of
His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and
seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and
power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but
also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to
be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who
fills all in all. Ephesians 1:15-23
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of
God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no
reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And
being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the
point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted
Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under
the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:5-11
Jesus Christ is seated at God's right hand in the heavenly places, far above all
principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not
only in this age but also in that which is to come. And we were also raised us up
together, and sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6).
God also has highly exalted Jesus and given Him the name which is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on
earth, and of those under the earth. He has also highly exalted us and given us the
use of Jesus name., "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that
you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you
ask the Father in My name He may give you (John 15:16). Jesus also told us "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. "Until now you have asked nothing in My name.
Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:23-24). We are
commanded in the word of God "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the
name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." (Colossians
3:17). And the word of God also tells us, For this reason I bow my knees to the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is
named, (Ephesians 3:14)
Yes, whole Body of Christ has been named after Him both in heaven and earth. We have
been given Jesus' Name. Its authority is now ours! Our name has been changed when we
were born again. We gave our old name away when we made covenant with Jesus. Jesus
took those names from us and gave us His own in exchange. We are now named after:
"Jesus, Mighty God, Wisdom, Deliverer, Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Word of Life,
Advocate, Provider, The Great I Am, Helper, Savior, Prince of Peace, Wonderful
Counselor, Lamb of God, Lord of Hosts, Root of David, Author and Finisher of our
Faith, The Way, Healer, Son of God, The Truth, Chief Cornerstone, King of Kings,
Light of the World, Chief Shepherd, My Strength and Song, Righteous Judge, Son of
Righteousness, Resurrection and Life, The Alpha and Omega."
Those names cover any need we'll ever have. What's more, the power of God is in His
Name to bring that Name to pass in our life. God's word is true:
"And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and
know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in
the presence of you all. Acts 3:16
Yes, the Name of Jesus is the Name above all names, and that Name with all its power
and authority has been given to us! In in Jesus name name we can will cast out
demons, speak with new tongues, deal with serpents, not be harmed by poison and
lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. We can say others In the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." God's word is true:
Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth
hour. And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid
daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those
who entered the temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple,
asked for alms. And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, "Look at us." So
he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter
said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." And he took him by the right hand and
lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he,
leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them-walking, leaping, and
praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God. Acts 3:1-10
