Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12)
Something to Think About – There has never been, and there will never be, another human who will be more successful than the humble Teacher, Jesus Christ. – Monica Johnson, doublequotes.net
Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Do you believe there is power in the name of Jesus? Whether you are spiritual or not, you have to agree that God carefully chose the name Jesus which means savior. Jesus’ name was given to reflect His purpose while living on earth and after resurrection. However, to experience salvation to its fullest it is important to understand there is no deliverance from sin and its consequences nor preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin or loss except through the powerful name of Jesus.
Here’s some important information and scriptures concerning how powerful the name of Jesus is in our lives:
• Jesus’ name gives us our identity (Acts 11:26) – As a Christian, you are identified with God because you believe in the name of Jesus and are expected to live like Him.
• Jesus’ name is above every other name (Philippians 2:9-11) – The name of Jesus is above the name of any sickness, disease or challenging situation.
• Everything Jesus carries is in His name (Mark 16:17-18) – We exercise our God-given authority only in the name of Jesus.
• Jesus’ name is at work all of the time (Matthew 28:20) (Revelations 1:18) – Jesus is always available to help us. Look for Jesus or call His powerful name anytime or anywhere.
• The name of Jesus is a strong refuge (Proverbs 18:10) – The power in the name of Jesus provides protection, covering for them from all evil that believe in it.
• The power in the name of Jesus is invoked through faith (Acts 3:16) – Remember, to call on the name of Jesus in faith understanding of the power that lies in His powerful name.
• The enemy knows and understands the powerful name of Jesus (Matthew 8:29) – Command healing or deliverance over your life or loved one in the name of Jesus and the spirit of infirmity will leave immediately.
• Jesus’ name commands instant delivery (Acts 9:34) – When you call on the name of Jesus in faith, your answer is dispatched immediately from the heavens. Sometimes you may receive an instant manifestation but other times you may have to walk in obedience to God’s Word.
I have no doubt, there is power in the name of Jesus. Read God’s Word and hide the scriptures in your hearts. Reflect on God’s Word often and exercise authority over that illness, disease or challenging situation in the mighty name of Jesus. Remember, do not call Jesus’ name in vain because it is not acceptable unto God. After all, despite what life may be throwing at you right now, it’s never too late to make a fresh start with God. So, what are you waiting for?
