#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.
