THE NAME OF JESUS: IS THERE POWER?
The name of Jesus is powerful. It is real and alive, it will live forever. It is our shield in battle. It is quick in answering us. It sets us free, it delivers us, it breaks every chain, it comforts us, it is our breath as Christians. It is the bloodstream of Christianity. It protects us from evil, it saves us from condemnation, Our sins are forgiven us in his name. It is our help in times of trouble. The name of Jesus helps us overcome Satan, its agents and their works. Demons trembles at the mention of his name and they bow to the name of Jesus.
Jesus is the mediator between man and God, John 14:6 " Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me". In prayer, we are able to get access to God our father through the name of Jesus. We receive healing through the name of Jesus. There is nothing absolutely nothing that is impossible in the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus can do numerous wonders, wonders uncountable. It is the hope and joy we have as Christians to overcome evil and for purification of sins. Below are some bible verses concerning the power in the name of Jesus.
