GREETINGS to this great community, welcome to my world (blog). I will be teaching about being strong and courageous because of the authority we have in his name.
Let me take some reading from the book of (Philippians 2 : 9-10) says, "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the mention of the name Jesus every knee must bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth".
The scripture above is definitive about the authority of Jesus. This is different from the character or identity of His Name. For example, Jesus passed by many sick people who didn't take advantage of His Identity to receive healing when He walked the earth. In fact, the Bible says, In the book of (John 5 : 1 - 15) He came to a place where there were some many impotent folks, He healed one person and went away from there. Go to the book of John and see the rest. Yet He had His Identity, had His character. So, in using His Name, it's His authority.
You're not even required to squeeze up faith to use His Name. His Name is an instrument and a gift given to you to use. And the authority of His Name is over things, beings, and anything that can be identified. Anyone of us can use His Name and power in it. The book of (John 14:12-14) says, "verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the work that I do shall he do also; and greater work than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my Name, that will I do, that the Father May be glorified in the son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it".
He gave us the power of attorney-the legal right to act in His stead-to use His Name. So, don't cheat yourself; use His Name. Use it against Satan, forces of darkness and circumstances, and they'll respond to you as they would to Jesus.
That's what I have to share with you guys today.
Thanks for reading my post.
