    The name of Jesus is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare; however, His name must not be taken lightly or used inappropriately. Also, Jesus promised to be present in power among His followers whenever they acted in His name.

We must be wholly submitted to Jesus to use it. - Dean Sherman(1) The name of Jesus is the most powerful weapon in spiritual warfare. Jesus is the Word (Jn 1:1, 14), and by the Word and through His holy name “the ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,200 views

    Romans 1:16 says the gospel is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. Power is something that is very invasive, and more than likely power will offend people. By design, the gospel contains a necessary offense.

    In Romans 1:16 the apostle Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” How many of us can actually declare, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ?” How many of us truly believe that the gospel is “the power of ...read more
