Acts 4:12
“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
There is power in the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus is the power of God unto salvation.
As Christian’s we know this – we know that His Name is the name above every name. The Name of Jesus makes the enemy tremble.
The Name of Jesus is power – it is healing – the Name of Jesus is freedom.
The Name of Jesus makes Jericho walls fall down and mountains crumble into the sea.
The Name of Jesus lights up the darkness and pulls down strongholds – His Name very much is life.
I like what Paul writes in Philipians 2:9-11:
“9Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
The power that is in the Name of Jesus – that beautiful, powerful, wonderworking Name above all names – is rooted in our faith in the Name.
When we believe that He is who He says He is – the Right Hand of God reaching out to pull us from the miry clay – and we proclaim His Name over our situations we will see change.
It is very much about believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth. The two go hand in hand.
When we believe that Jesus is who He says He is – and speak the name of Jesus over your situation – you will see that situation bow before the power of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.
He said upon the cross: IT IS DONE.
Your healing and restoration is there.
Your provision is there.
Your deliverance and freedom is there.
In the mighty Name of Jesus – in the Name of the risen and exalted Christ.
In the midst of your storm speak the name of Jesus. Call Jesus – cry out to the Lord.
David says he waited on the Lord and that He heard his cry (Psalm 40), he called on the Lord and was saved from his enemies (Psalm 18). He pours out forgiveness and lovingkindness in abundance upon all who calls on Him (Psalm 86).
Speak the Name of Jesus in your situation today. He will incline His ear to you and pull you up and out of the miry clay.
Psalm 18:3: I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.
Jesus saves us from our enemies. He saves us from the voices in our heads. He saves us from ourselves. He saves us from death and destruction. He keeps us from drowning.
He is worthy of our praise.
He is worthy of adoration.
His name is high and exalted above every other name.
Walking in His name means walking in His victory.
Today I urge you to speak the Name of Jesus over your life, your situation, your circumstances – start walking in victory!
I also urge you to speak the Name of Jesus over your family, your church, your community – your country and continent.
2 Chronicles 7:14: 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
It is time we get serious about speaking the Name of Jesus over every facet of our life, into every sphere of influence, and every circle of concern.
It is time we become a people of prayer again.
Revival is conceived in the womb of prayer.
Restoration is conceived in the womb of prayer.
The womb of prayer is where we speak the life-giving Name of Jesus.
Shout Jesus from the mountains. From the rooftops. Speak Jesus in the valley and in the streets. Speak Jesus over your family, your friends – and even your enemies.
Speak Jesus and you will see the ocean split open before you.
Prayer: Lord, I know that there is power in Your Name, in the mighty name of Jesus. I speak Your name over every situation, every circumstance today, confessing what I know in my heart to be true – the Name of Jesus changes things. The Name of Jesus sets the captive free. The Name of Jesus heals the sick and makes the cripple walk again. Where life has sought to cripple me, Lord I speak Your Name. In the Name of Jesus I will get up and I will walk on the water. In the Name of Jesus I pray for revival, for restoration in my family, my church and my community. I pray that you will guide me in prayer today and show me other situations, people and places that I should speak Your name over. Help me make a difference here in the womb of prayer. Help me speak life over my life and the lives of those around me. And as I do, help me see the change it makes so that I can testify of Your goodness, grace and love – so that I can testify of the power of Your name. In the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen.
