There is something behind every Name whether it's known or not but there exist a force on every Name whether good or bad. Now God has already provided us with a stronger Powerful weapon which is His Son Jesus Christ. And the fact that we know how to pray or you can pray longer it does not mean that you are using the Inherent Power that is found in the Name Jesus Christ. We need to know this year how we are going to take advantage of the Name Jesus Christ against the Devil. If there is something that Satan Fears is the Name "Jesus Christ". Genesis 3:15
“And I will put enmity (open hostility)
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed (offspring) and her [e]Seed; He shall [fatally] bruise your head,
And you shall [only] bruise His heel.”
Jesus Christ is representing human kind in this Verse, and God was not addressing the serpent but Satan himself who was in the serpent. So wherever satan is, he knows only Jesus Christ has power to Fatally Bruise his head and so he fears that name.
This war was foretold, and it's predestined for Christ to bind and destroy Satan and his works, so every time Satan hears the Name Jesus Christ he feels it's the end of his life and he has to tremble and run away. But this is only possible with a tongue that has sank in the Authority of Christ, and has been Overlapped by the Holy Spirit of God. Not just any tongue that Calls Jesus can move Satan, you must be fully associated and Authorized to use that Name. Hallelujah.
The Name Jesus Christ is not just 2 words pronounced, but it's a mixture of Powerful Occasions, Events , Works and divine things that are beyond Earth. Remember Jesus was God in Flesh(incarnated to take human form).The blood of Animals had failed to cure man from sin, so another blood not of Animal was to be tried- (2 things that contains blood, Animals and Human beings) so it was that a Human being should be killed this time to Redeem Human kind but the blood of the one to be killed was to be blameless(without sin 2 Corinthians 5:21) and indeed no human being on Earth had such blood, so God had to make one without sin(And only God is without sin but He is Spirit) but Blood is what was needed. He had to bring Himself on Earth through His son Jesus Christ putting on Real Flesh. Mary was to give Him the Flesh.
Mathew 1:21-23 21 She will give birth to a Son, and you shall name Him Jesus (The Lord is salvation), for He will [l]save His people from their sins.” 22 All this happened in order to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the [m]prophet [Isaiah]: 23 “Behold, the [n]virgin shall be with child and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel”—which, when translated, means, “God with us.”
The First name Jesus means "God Saves"-The Lord is Salvation. According to Massachusetts Institute of Technology the Name Jesus is the embodiment of God's rescue. The Greek word "sozo" is what is translated in the New Testament into "saved" as well as "healed" or "made whole" or "delivered" - a complex word that seems similar to that action word "yeshuah" that Jesus modeled in His life which means He saved, forgave, healed and made alive. We have been made a live with this Name therefore true Believers carries the ingredients of this powerful Name. Hallelujah
This is what Isaiah said about who was to come as Saviour in Isaiah 9:6-7
6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;And the government will be upon His shoulder.And His name will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever.The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Therefore when Mary and Joseph were naming Jesus as instructed, all that was prophesied about Him came with that Name-The wonderful Counselor , Mighty God, Everlasting father , Prince of Peace, Emmanuel, the Spirit of Wisdom , understanding and Knowledge will be upon Him, and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked, And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins (Isaiah 11:2-5).
The name Christ on the other hand Means "Anointed one". Anointed by who and with who and For what ?(By God and with the Holy Spirit and to wage War against Satan and his works.).By that Name the Ruler of this World has been Judged.
What does the bible say about Christ "the anointed one":
Isaiah 61:1-4
¹“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,To proclaim liberty to the captives,And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;To comfort all who mourn,3 To console those who mourn in Zion,To give them beauty for ashes,The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;That they may be called trees of righteousness,The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins,They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,The desolations of many generations.
Isaiah 61 Foretold what the Name Christ would do, and what will happen to those that shall Operate under that powerful anointed Name.
Peter at the House of Cornelius Spoke about this Anointing again Acts 10:34-38
34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right. 36 You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. 37 You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
That Christ was anointed with Holy spirit and Power to deliver everyone that is under the power of the devil. We believers( Who fear God and does what is right) are therefore:
1. Bonafide Beneficiaries of this Name Christ,
2. Witnesses of the power of this Name Christ and
3. Authorized to use this name Christ against Satan and his power.
4.If We Believe in the power of His name We are predistined to Perform great things as Christ did.
Acts 3:1-6
1One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2 Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.
6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”
Like peter and John in Acts 3, they exercised the Power of the Name Jesus Christ, that is what they could afford as a gift to the Lame man to Bring a supernatural Change to his life. They did not take sometime aside to discuss wether the name might backfire on them or not for they were totally sure no way the Name above every other Name can fail. I Pray that you will have the same Faith like Peter and John in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Listen, nothing is impossible at the Mention of the Name Jesus Christ as long as its mentioned by a right tongue and according to the Will of God and by the Authority of that Name. But what do we have to do so that we can correctly and effectively use the power that is the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ? Look at what Christ told us in John 16:23-24
23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be full.
First take Christ at His Word and Start mixing your life and your Spirit with the ingredients/components/works and power of the Name Jesus Christ-the Name above every other Name. Let the life of Jesus Christ be embodied in you and everything about His Name be fulfilled in your life so that anytime you Mention that Name by Faith, your Tongue Shall be carrying the Fire of that name against anything, against any hard situation , against any sickness, against any works of Satan , the power in that Name will do exactly what it's intended to Perform in the Name of Jesus Christ. Are you lacking anything? Go ahead and ask God in the Name of Jesus Christ, it shall be given unto you.
Below is what God concluded about the Name of His son Jesus Christ:
Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Our Take Home Scripture:
John 14:12-14
12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
