THE NAME

It was great to be back in gear on Sunday and have church once again. You seem to be missing something during the week without it. Yesterday we continued our series on temptation and how to defeat the enemy. We cannot forget that one of the tools that God has given us is the power of the Name. Jesus' Name is the only name that is above everything in heaven and earth. Jesus gave us the "power of attorney" to use that name before He went back to heaven. the power of attorney simply gives a person the right to act on someones behalf. This is exactly what Jesus did. Jesus said that in my Name, you will cast out demons, heal the sick and even be protected if deadly things come upon you. Peter and John understood the power in Acts 3 when the crippled man was healed. It was by the Name of Jesus that the man stood up and walked for the first time. Let us remember that when we are faced with temptation and attacks from the enemy, that Jesus has given us the right to use His Name. His Name has the power over anything that may be thrown at us.
