Looking at the word of God with the help of the Holy Spirit. We find that there is no other name mentioned that has power other than the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus in the mouth of all the prophets, disciples and even in the life of ordinary people brought outstanding results into their lives.
Kingdoms shake and demons tremble - James 2:19. When His name is called upon. Jesus' name can never and will never be compared to any other name. In His name miracles happen and the lives of people are transformed when we believe in His name.
Jesus' name in heaven and on earth and underneath this earth causes a movement that brings results and the name of Jesus is respected anywhere His name is mentioned. Because of the power behind the name of Jesus we are to use His name with respect and always stand in awe of His name.
in the book of Isaiah 9:6 when Jesus was prophesied about it is written:
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.
His name is called Wonderful
His name is called Counselor
His name is called Mighty God
His name is called Everlasting Father
His name is called Prince of Peace.
And also when the angel appeared to Mary about the conception of Jesus, the angel said in:
Matthew 1: 18 - 25
Christ Born of Mary
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.
So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated, God with us.
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
The angel said to Joseph that His name shall be called Jesus, for He will save save His people from their sins.
The prophets said that the virgin shall be with child and bear a Son, and His name shall be called Immanuel which means God with us.
The name of Jesus is above every other name.
When Jesus was here on earth and He was being questioned by the Chief Priests, the Pharisees and the Sadducee's, He gave them some answers about who He was but most importantly He would always talk about His Father - John 12:49. And only on few occasions would He speak about Himself.
Jesus said in John 6: 25 - 59
I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE
And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, Rabbi, when did You come here?
Jesus answered them and said, Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.
Then they said to Him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?
Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.
Therefore they said to Him, What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Then Jesus said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.
