What is in a name any Way?

 

When you think of the question what’s in a name, I picture men and woman of power and influence such as, Donald Trump, President Obama, Hilary Clinton and E.F. Hutton “when he speaks everyone listens”.

You might think of others in the entertainment field such as Brad Pitt or Paris Hilton, Justin Beaber or Adam Lavine. These men and woman that I mentioned above and others like them have a certain influence in our society those that open doors that are closed to the general public.

Name Above Every Name

However, there is a name above every name from the beginning of time to the end of it and beyond eternity.  As Christians we have access to “The Name of all Names”. This name is known in Heaven and on Earth and beneath the Earth. It is a name that saves, delivers and brings healing for those whom believe.  It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, powerful or feeble. This name will open the door to the very throne room of God.

What name is it?

Philippians 2: 9-11 explains:

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a Name which is above every name:

10 That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Ask In Jesus Name

John 14: 12-14 says:

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do ; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my Name, that will I do , that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my Name, I will do it.

I have underlined the word Ask and capitalized the word Name for a reason. I have done a word study in from my concordance on the word “ask” and I would like you to know that it doesn’t mean what I or maybe even you think it means in our English language.

Up until now, I have always thought Jesus meant for us to “ask for something or to plea on behalf of someone else in his name” like you would if you were to ask your parents for a toy or a cool new pair of shoes. However, that is not the case here.

The word “Ask” comes from the Greek word “Ahee-teh’-o” which means (4441) strictly from a demand due. Now Jesus wasn’t saying to demand from God, because God doesn’t withhold any good thing from his children.  What Jesus is saying here is that you are to demand Satan or his demons to stop their actions or operations against you in Jesus Name.

We are to use Jesus Name as a basis of authority to demand our rightful inheritance in him through his name. When Jesus walk the Earth as a man he walk, talk, preached, taught and ministered in complete authority over the flesh, the world and the Devil. And, so are we as children of light and joint heirs with Christ.

Jesus Gave The Church His Name and Authority

We see in Luke 10: 17-19 that Jesus gave the church his name and authority on this Earth and he has expected us to use his name and authority to overcome the flesh, the world and the Devil.

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

19 Behold , I give unto you power (authority) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

We see in verse 19, that the word power is used twice in this verse. The first “power” comes from the Greek word ex-oo-see’-ah and the second word “power” comes from the word dunamas, where we get our English word dynamite. As you can see that they are very different words.

Now you can read verse 19 like this:

19 Behold , I give unto you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Jesus gave his church authority to tread on the Devil and all of his demons and over all of their power that they can through at us, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Do you remember the verse of scripture the devil roams the earth like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour? That is all he and his cohorts should be able to do, is just roam and roar.

Now let’s us do some brain storming. In what situations can you think of where you can use Jesus name and walk in his authority and power?

Leave your comments and thoughts below in the reply box. I can’t wait to hear from you.

You Need to use his Name with his authority by Faith, in Jesus Holy, Holy Name get out there and walk in his name.
