Prayers are submitted in the authority and in the Name of Jesus. Deliverance from demonic influence is achieved through the Name of Jesus.

Acts 16:18 And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE NAME OF JESUS

God gave Jesus a name that is above every name on heaven and on earth. One day, all of creation will bow down to Him in majestic awe and reverence. The light, so to speak, will come on for many but it will be too late. Regrettably, in an instant, their indifference, hatred, or animosity towards Him will melt away. Unfortunately, so will their opportunity to turn to Him in faith and repentance.

Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

SALVATION IN THE NAME OF JESUS

Other religions have their “holy men” but none of those became sin for us that we might become righteous. We must help our friends, family, and neighbors understand the significance of the Gospel and that there is just something about the name of Jesus.

PRAYING IN THE NAME OF JESUS

Praying in the Name of Jesus is more than just tacking on a buzzword at the end. I’ve been corrected for not saying “In Jesus’ Name” at the end of a prayer. It’s not so much of a magic word but it’s operating in His authority.

John 16:23-24 In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

HEBREW NAMES OF JESUS

Matthew 1:23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and they shall name Him Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.”

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Luke 1:30-32 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

THE GREAT COMMISSION

The church must get back to our Gospel roots of preaching the gospel and making disciples. Designing comfortable gathering places and reacting to social ills is not the Gospel. Jesus didn’t mince words when He gave the Church its final assignment. Often, we’re doing everything except the one thing He told us to do.

Mark 16:16-18 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name, they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Acts 9:28 So he went in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.

SONG ABOUT THE NAME OF JESUS

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus; there’s just something about that name.
Master, Savior, Jesus, like the fragrance after the rain;
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, let all Heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away,
But there’s something about that name.
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away,
But there’s something about that name.
