At The Name Of Jesus!

Philippians 2:5, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

The demoniac recognized Jesus when He encountered him. His presence demands the reverence and fear of Almighty God. Mark 5:6, “But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, 7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.” Satan and his demons cower in the presence of Jesus Christ. And there will come a time when all creation will bow at the feet of Christ. All creation will declare true reverence to Him as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. However, I am convinced that Christ Jesus wants to use the Body of Christ presently to attain the fulfillment of His miraculous power. His desire through the Holy Spirit is to bestow His power upon believers to carry on and finish the work that He began.

Jesus spoke clearly in Mark 16:17, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” There is no obstruction to deter us from our assignment and message if we will put our total trust in Jesus.

And again He spoke to clarify our mission in John 14:12, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” It is clear that Jesus meant for us to do what He did and more. I am convinced that the Lord Jesus wants to use the Body of Christ to march into Satan's house, the very seat and throne of his rule and rescue perishing souls. He has provided the resources to do so!

Isaiah prophesied the mission of Christ and the Church in chapter 61:1, “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;” Will YOU take His hand and go into the deep dark crevices of life and lead to freedom the poor lost souls of mankind? At the Name of Jesus the darkness must give way to the Light! “And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
