Power in the Name

There is awesome power in the name of Jesus Christ. Mark 16:17-18 lets us know that the believers can do many incredible things when they invoke the name of Jesus.

The important thing to remember is that we must be people of the name and in order to truly do that, we must have a relationship with the original owner of the name. Both John 5:43 and Hebrews 1:4 make it clear that Jesus received His name by inheritance. When we read Ephesians 1:10-11 we understand that we also receive an inheritence through Christ.

So be encouraged to walk in the name of Jesus, pray in the name of Jesus, believe in the name of Jesus. In fact, accordng to Colossians 3:17 we should do all in the name of Jesus.

What are some examples of the power in that name? I'm glad you asked:
Acts 3:6-healing
Accts 4:12-salvation
Acts 16:18-deliverance
Philippians 2:10-11-dominion
Philippians 4:19-financial blessing
