THAT OPENS EVERY DOOR.
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 (1 John 5:13).
Notice the underlined
construction. The Apostle John
says “…that ye may know that ye
have eternal life, and that ye may
believe on the name of the Son of
God.” Simply put, he’s saying,
“Put the Name of Jesus to work!”
That Name opens every door in
every city and every nation. That’s
the Name you need for a life of
consistent victory, anywhere.
For example, when Jesus gave the
great commission in Mark 16:15
and said, “…Go ye into all the
world, and preach the gospel to
every creature,” He did so in His
Name. He gave us His Name, and
that's something bigger than the
whole world.Philippians 2:10 says,
“…at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of things in heaven,
and things in earth, and things
under the earth.” This is the
reason you can be comfortable,
unruffled and at peace in any city,
region or nation. You’re an
ambassador of Christ, on a divine
assignment, sent forth, not in
your own name, but in the
matchless Name of Jesus Christ.
Luke’s account in Acts 3, of how
Peter and John healed the lame
man at the gate of the temple
called Beautiful, is a detailed
example of men who dared to use
the Name of Jesus. Incidentally,
this was their first miracle after
Jesus’ ascension. When Peter met
the man who was crippled from
birth, he said, “…In the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up
and walk” (Acts 3:6).The man
couldn’t walk in his own name, or
in his earthly father’s name; but
he did in the Name of the Lord
Jesus.
Are there doors that seem to have
been shut against you? Use the
Name of Jesus! It's the Name
above all names. The reason for
the failure, defeat, sickness, and
weakness in the lives of many
people is that rather than use
the Name of Jesus, they trusted,
as it were, in their own names.
Psalm 20:7 AMP says, “Some trust
in and boast of chariots and some
of horses, but we will trust in and
boast of the name of the Lord our
God.”
It doesn't matter the challenges
you might be facing, whether it's
in your finances or in your health,
put the Name of Jesus to work. If
it’s a pain or a growth in your
body, put your hand on it and
command it to go in the Name of
Jesus, and you'll definitely have
results!
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 all the adversities of
life. By the power of that Name, I
declare that I'm living the higher
life of glory that you prearranged
for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
