Power And Authority In Jesus Name

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." - Matthew 28:18-20.

EXPLORATION

Authority is the power or right to give orders and make others obey or to take specific action. (Oxford American Dictionary) Also authority, according to Wikipedia, is the power to enforce laws, exact obedience, and command or judge. Whereas, power refers broadly to any ability to effect change or exert control over things or people, subjects or objects. (Wikipedia)

Authority is often used interchangeably with the term "power". However, their meanings differ: while "power" refers to the ability to achieve certain ends, "authority" refers to a claim of legitimacy, the justification and right to exercise that power.

INSPIRATION

God has conferred authority and power in the name of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. The same power and authority Jesus conferred upon His Church and upon as many that believe in HIM. The Bible says: "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - John 1:12-13

The name of Jesus is the above all. God has highly exalted Him that HE gave Him a name above every other name. The Bible says: "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." - Philippians 2:10-11 (KJV)

The use of the Name of Jesus. Nowadays many people are too causal with use of the name of Jesus while some don't respect the name not to talk of reverencing the name even among Christian. If we truly understand the value and the power in this name that is above all name then we will see the glorious manifestation of the power in the name of JESUS. We have chosen to love HIS name, respect HIS name and honor HIS name.

Have you ever wondered why you stop when you get to a stop sign, even when there is no police around? Or not speed on a school zone when the light is flashing. This is because of the authority and the legal implication involved when you do contrary. This is how the enemy sees the authority and the power in you when you declare the "Name of Jesus" the Bible says we can do all things through Christ Jesus that strengthens us (Philippians 4:13)

Who has the right to use the name of Jesus? God gives the whole world access to the use of the Power and Authority in the name of Jesus, and also limits the access depending on our relationship with HIM has God. This relationship is in two forms: (1). As a Sinner. (2). As Children of God.

1. The Sinners: They have the right to use the Name of Jesus to get save and receive eternal life. (Matthew 1:21, Acts 4:12, John 1:12, Joel 2:32). The name of Jesus is the only way to the Father for Sinner to be saved. Jesus declared: "...I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."-John 14:6. This is because Jesus is the mediator between God and man. (1Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 8:6)
2. As Children of God (Christian believers): The Name of Jesus has been conferred on the believers and they have a right to use the Name in prayer. (John 16:23-24); to stand in the Name of Jesus; and to act as HIS ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). Through faith in the Name of Jesus, Christians are kept by the power of God (1 peter 1:5). As believers we use the Name of Jesus against all the powers of Darkness (Mark 16:17-18, Ephesians 6:12). The Bible says: "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." -John 1:12-13

This week: We need to know which of the above mentioned we belong to. Is it "The Sinner" or "As Children of God" then take the appropriate step to claim and exercise the authority and power given to us. Beloved, you can take authority over; sickness, failure, poverty, pride, fornication, hatred and depression, and end their power over your life today. They will flee from you when they see you declare with authority and power. You do not need a prophet, for this the power is in you. The devil only recognizes the claim of legitimacy of the "Name of Jesus".

We prophesy to you, that the enemy of your life shall flee before you. That thing that makes you not to have the right life partner (marriage), the right business, the right ministry, the children of your own and success in life... Shall flee before you today and shall return no more -Amen.

Remember: The Bible says: "And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out." - Luke 4:36 (KJV).

You will command the unclean spirits with authority and power in JESUS name. Amen!

We love You!

We are praying for you,

It's our JOY to see you blessed!
