The Glorious Name Of Jesus
John 14:13-14; Mark 16:17-18

John 14:13-14 "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it]."" From the Scripture above, we understand that the Name of Jesus in the mouth of the Believer brings Jesus on the scene. Jesus said, "If you demand anything in my name I will do it"". This reveals the authority given to the Believer, in Christ Jesus, to use the name of Jesus. We can demand anything in the name of Jesus Christ and He will grant it unto us. This is the power of attorney He gave us to exercise authority in His name. God has made Jesus Christ Lord over all things in heaven, on earth and under the earth. Christ reigns as Lord (Phil. 2:9-11). Over the three realms of existence, Jesus Christ reigns as Lord (Phil. 2:9-11). The Church has not yet come to the full awareness of the benefits and the power invested in that Name. When we do, we will transform our world the same way Jesus did His when He walked on the earth. When we come to the knowledge that the same Jesus with whom nothing is impossible, is present whenever we call His Name, then we will become bold to use His Name. The truth is, when His name is called, He comes on the scene. He and His name are one. He is not apart from His name. It means that when you command sicknesses or diseases to leave in Jesus' name, He will drive them out. When you cast out demons and evil spirits in His Name, He will see to it that they are evicted. When we pray in His name, we should bear in mind that it is as though Jesus Himself were asking of the Father and this guarantees us answers every time we pray in His Name.

Other Scriptures for Meditation: Philippians 2:9-10; Acts 4:12
