THERE IS POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS
THERE IS POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS
Because of who Jesus is and what He has done, there is great power in His Name.
The Name of Jesus is powerful:
1. In the Salvation of men,
2. In our prayers, and
3. In the warfare against Satan.
Let us consider each of these.
** THE NAME OF JESUS IS POWERFUL IN THE SALVATION OF MEN **
The Bible says,
" For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13
If you are not saved take the Lord at His Word and call upon His Name. Open your heart to Him and say, " O Lord Jesus ! O Lord Jesus! Confess your sins to Him. Thank Him for loving you and for dying for your sins. Ask Him to come into your heart and be your Saviour. He will hear you and save you. He said, " him that comes to Me I will in no wise cast out. " John 6:37
** The Name of Jesus is powerful in our prayers**
We should always pray to the Father in Jesus ' name. His name has great power.
The Bible tells us about a lame man who lay at the gate of the temple begging. Each day someone had to carry him to the temple. When the Apostle Peter saw him, he said, " Silver and gold have I none: but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk."
The man leaped up and walked man had been healed, Peter told them that it was by the Power of Jesus' name. Peter said,
" His name through faith in His nae made this man strong..." Acts 3:16
"Hitherto have you asked nothing in My name; ask , and you shall recieve , that your joy may be full." John 16:24
** THE NAME OF JESUS IS POWERFUL INT HE WARFARE AGAINST SATAN **
Our enemy , Satan, hates us and wants to destroy us. The Bible says that he walks about " as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."
But, if Jesus is our Savior, we don't have to fear satan or his evil spirits. The Bible says, " Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7b
How do we "resist the devil?"
We resist him in Jesus ' name. The Lord Jesus has defeated Satan, and He has given us the right to use His name.
In the book of Acts, we read about a girl who was possessed of an evil spirit. She followed the Apostle Paul for many days. Paul was grieved in his spirit concerning this poor girl. He turned and said to the evil spirit that possessed here, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." Immediately the evil spirt came out of her.
