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

(Key to Unlock Heaven ‘Jesus’ Name’) 

“The Father loves the Son and has put everything into his hand.

 The man who believes in the Son has eternal life.

The man who refuses to believe in the Son will not see life;

he lives under the anger of Go!”

[John 3:35-36]

J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS) 

In John 3:35-36 the Lord said, “The Father loves the Son,” why is this important? Because, the Father loves His Son this means He will do whatever the Son ask of Him. This is huge since the Son represents us; therefore, there’s no reason for us to worry, whether or not the Father will answer our petitions. Do you see why it’s important to evoke Jesus’ “power of attorney” when we pray?  We should not every try to transact business with the Father without coming in Jesus’ name because it is the Key of access to heaven. As good as it may sound to do some name dropping when you come before the Father, of the important people you know, like your Pastor or a well know prophet. After all why would you want to use anyone’s name besides Jesus’ name which is the one given for us to use? 

Have you ever noticed how when any of the apostles dealt with a situation they never use any other person’s name?  When Peter pray for the man by the gate call beautiful he did not say be healed in the name of Paul, John the Baptist, Lazarus who was raised from the dead or even Phillip who was stoned to death for the gospel sake. Peter knew that none of these names would get the results he was seeking.  He wanted that man healed and since, “Jesus was wounded for our transgression and bruised for our iniquity,” why would he use anyone else’s name? Peter knew that nothing not silver, not gold but only the name of Jesus would get heaven’s attention. We should see the Father doing just what we’re asking, if it is healing the see them healed; if it is financial breakthrough see the debt free. 

The name of Jesus is the only name heaven will recognize when we come in prayer before the Father. Why, “For there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:13) when it come to heaven Jesus is the only person who can speak for us before the Father, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (Timothy 2:5) this is what Phillip 2:9-10 says, “therefore God exalted Jesus to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.” There is no name in heaven or earth that is greater than the name of Jesus, so all other names have to bow, Pharaoh, cancer, drug additions, pornography, adultery or even Satan. 

Jesus told His disciples to that all power in heaven and earth had been given to Him; then he commissioned them to go tell everybody. “Then Jesus came to His disciples and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”  When we understand this fact we will have no need to fear or doubt when we go out to preach the gospel. The apostle Paul understand this and went out and “preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus.” (Acts 9:27)  So can we when we believe the word!!!

My Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for giving us this keys to heaven, which is the name of Jesus and the authority and power that comes with it. We know that every knee will eventually have to bow to the name of Jesus and every tongue will have to confess that He is Lord. So too we declare that He is Lord of all!!! Amen, Amen!!!

Have A Bless Day…Go in God’s Peace!
