#73 “Understanding the Power in the Name of Jesus”

(What about Jesus’ Name?) Pt.2

“There is no difference between Jews and Greeks.

They all have the same Lord, who gives His riches to everyone who calls on him,

So then, “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

[Romans 10:12-13]

English Standard Version (ESV) 

Jesus said, “I AM” – “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)  Whenever we hear Jesus stating, “I AM” we know that He was speaking from His divinity not humanity speaking as the Son of God not the Son of Man.  Remember what God told Moses, to tell the children of Israel; “Tell them that I AM has sent you.” He was declaring that He God was everything the children of Israel would ever need both now and forever.  Because the Father and Son are one all who are in the Son are one with the Father. We too can day, because of the work of Christ on the cross; that “I am buried with Christ,” (Romans 6:4 “I am hidden in Christ,” (Colossians 3:3) and “I am resurrected with Christ,” (Romans 6:3-7) for as He is so are we!

Knowing this is what gives us assurance that when we pray in Jesus’ name we will have what we pray for. Just as we pray according to the attributes of God when we need His healing (Jehovah Rapha) or provision (Jehovah Jireh); likewise we must pray the same way when praying in Jesus’ name.  We must know that Jesus is the resurrection and life, that He is the bread of life, and the prince of peace. What did Jesus say to Martha, regarding her brother Lazarus? Jesus told her that, “I AM the resurrection and the Life.” (John 11:25) this was Jesus response when faced with the death of His friend Lazarus. This was the perfect time in face you could almost say that Jesus planned it just to teach them who He truly was. 

As a point of interest I would like to make note of something here regarding the many names of God and Jesus. I thank God for being able to teach lessons such as this one. Mainly because many people may not know the many names of God and Jesus and therefore they may only know them as God the Father or Jesus Christ the Savior.  They may only know Jesus as healer because He healed them or as prince of peace because during a storm in their life He calmed the storm.  Now they have the knowledge that Jesus just like the Father is the “I AM” He is whatever you need Him to be. I encourage you to learn the other names of Jesus and the Father and start using them. Here are a few of God’s names that are good to use during your morning devotions, which come for a prayer teaching by Dr. Larry Lea.

BENEFIT	NAME	MEANING
SIN	JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU JEHOVAH-KADDESH	"Jehovah our righteousness" "Jehovah who sanctifies"
SPIRIT	JEHOVAH-SHALOM JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH	"Jehovah is peace" "Jehovah is there"
SOUNDNESS	JEHOVAH-ROPHE	"Jehovah heals"
SUCCESS	EHOVAH-JIREH	"Jehovah's provision shall be seen"
SECURITY	JEHOVAH-NISSI JEHOVAH-ROHI	"Jehovah my banner" "Jehovah my shepherd"

“So then, “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” The next time you’re asked to pray for someone’s salvation then you will know that all you need to do as pray, “Jesus, Savior I pray now for this person that you, as Savior will save them.” How easy was that? It makes all the difference in the world and now you understand that you are in covenant with Jesus and because of the covenant agreement you have with Him; He will hear and answer. The beauty of know that Jesus has numerous attributes/names is that there is nothing you will encounter in your life that He can not meet the need.

My Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank you that as our Father we know that you will provide and care for us. We thank you for being God our Jehovah Jireh, our provider therefore we can rest in You because You will provide for our ever need.  As we rest in this assurance we know that we will become more confident that Your’re the “Great I AM” the all sufficient one. Thank you for strengthening our faith and trust in Your word and Your promise to keep and perform Your word.  Thank You for your many blessings in the power and authority of Jesus name pray, Amen!!!

Have A Bless Day…Go in God’s Peace!
