Acts 4:12 (NKJV) 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
In all of our “Christian” hustle and bustle, we can sometimes miss things that are very important to our walk, and our faith in God.
One of those things is the power in the name of Jesus.
You see, Jesus wasn’t just a man who lived, walked the earth and then died on a cross.
Jesus was God in the flesh; God with us.
The name of Jesus is powerful. It’s not just someone’s name, like Bob, Ellen, Sam or Jane.
The name of Jesus causes demons to tremble and flee. The name of Jesus brings fear to the enemy of our souls, and can stop him in his tracks if we know how and when to use it.
The apostle Paul knew this, and he knew when to speak that incredibly powerful name.
Acts 16:18 (NKJV) 18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour.
We should never treat the name of Jesus flippantly. It is not a name to be abused or used lightly.
It surely is, though, the name that we learn all we can about, especially when it comes to the power and authority that name commands.
Once we understand this, it will change the way we speak it, and the way we wield it as a weapon in our day-to-day spiritual battles.
