"Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every
name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and
things in earth, and things under the earth" (Phil 2: 9-10; KJV).
The
name of Jesus is higher than any other name; that means anything else that can
be named - any kind of problem, any kind of illness, any kind of anything -
must bow to the name of Jesus. The word "name" in Greek means not
just a person's name but also their character and authority.
That
is why our Lord told us to pray in the name of Jesus (John 14:13-14; John 16:24).
He actually said he would do whatever we ask when we pray in the name of Jesus
and that we would be full of joy as a result.
Peter
did just that in Acts 3:6 when he commanded a lame man to be healed in the name
of Jesus: “Then Peter 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”. In Acts
3:16 Peter added the it was through faith in the name of Jesus that the lame
man was healed.
We
can command demons to leave in Jesus name, sickness to leave, relationships to
be restored and so on. There is power in the name of Jesus. Use the name of
Jesus today with the authority that is behind that name and expect results.
