Power In His Name!

it's all in His name...

Your Name is a strong and mighty tower
Your Name is a shelter like no other
Your Name, let the nations sing it louder
'Cause nothing has the power to save but Your Name...

Songwriter/Musician Paul Baloche illustrates that so well. Isn't it Amazing that there is so much power in the very name of Jesus!

In His name, we have the power to receive Salvation:

 "Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12).

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

There is great power and astonishment in His name. All over scripture it is written. Even the ones who "didn't believe" understood its power, they tried to stop the disciples from using the name of Jesus (Acts 4:18). 

I encourage you today to meditate on His name, it's the most precious name and most powerful there is. In His name there is power to fulfill the "Great Commission". We weren't just given a task and left alone. We have been given directions through the word of God, assistance through the Holy Ghost, and power in the matchless name of Jesus Christ!

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:15-18)

We have a right and an open invitation to a relationship with the Father. Which means, we have a right and invitation to accesing power in the name of Jesus, to glorify the Lord. But regardless of whether or not we submit to His tender call. The Lord will be glorified, and Jesus' name will be praised.

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;

 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father  (Philippians 2:9-11)
