The Power in the Name of Jesus





                                 I live in a small one bedroom house, My son has long since moved out so it's just me. But I do have several animals (my babies) that I take care of. My husband and I have been separated going on 8 months now and when he left, all the bills fell on my shoulders. At times, it has been a struggle to make it from week to week, but Jesus Christ has provided every time.
                                                                          When I look back over the past 8 months in every situation when I did not have the money for a bill, I would pray " In Jesus Name" your word says My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches and Glory in Christ Jesus.( Philippians 4:19) I can't tell you how many times Jesus supplied my needs for me.One time I called to have my phone cut off because I couldn't pay my bill and the customer rep told me, my bill had already been paid ,by whom, she had no idea. Another month I had a bill due to come out of my checking account for a hundred dollars, and that month they never took it out. Thank you, Jesus
                                                                             Jesus said : John 14:13"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do,that the Father may be glorified in the Son." And Jesus went on to say:
     V-14, "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."      V-16, "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,that he may abide with you for ever."     V-17, "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:  but ye know him; for
he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."
                                                                           When we pray, Jesus is telling us, He's not only giving us access to his Power, but also the power of the Holy Spirit and God The Father. Because they are three in one. There are three that bear witness, God, The Word (Jesus) and The Holy Spirit.
                                                                          There is Power in the Name of Jesus.
                                       Power = The English word is derived from the Greek word dunamis,( duvnami) dynamo, translated meaning " dynamite".
                                                                          Our prayers when brought to Jesus, dynamically work for our good. Because they are not only heard by one, they are heard by three. 1 Tim 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and Men, the man Christ Jesus.
                                                               In Jesus name we have been given that power.
Jesus is the Power behind the prayer.  He is our dynamite.
                                                          Sometimes I forget what power Jesus gave me, What Power there is in His name.  When He was scourged, His skin falling from his back in pieces for my sins,  when He wore that crown of thorns that pieced his head, bleeding from the punctures.  When He took that walk to Calvary with the cross layed upon his beaten and battered back, so weak was He, a man called Simon had to finish carrying it for Him, His face unrecognizable from the slaps and punches of the soldiers. And if that wasn't enough pain he endured, He climbed up on that Cross and He had nails driven into his hands and feet. And for 6 hours he hung there suffering, struggling to breathe while people laughed and spat at him.   Isaiah 52:14  Just as many were astonished at you — so was he marred in his appearance, more than any human, and his form beyond that of human semblance.
                                                                           Jesus endured the cross to give us His power over sin, sickness, depression, poverty and death itself. 
                                     .                                       I can not think of what Jesus endured on that day without crying, what he went thru and the pain he suffered for his children, He did it willingly, He knew it was His mission from the Father and He accomplished it.  John 19:30  When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.   He knew what He was to do and he Willingly, Lovingly and Selflessly did it.
                                                                          The Hebrew word for Power is koach. K- Kaf which stands for blessings  and H-Het which stands for a fence. When you put it together, You are saying,
When you pray in the name of Jesus you are fenced in to a life of His Blessings. WOW!!
                                                                              Philippians 2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name.
                                                                               God gave Him the Power and the authority to then give to us. John 14: 12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
                                                                            Jesus has been given ALL authority and Power, in Heaven and on earth and it is thru His name we are given access to that very same Power. John 28:18 Then Jesus came near and said to them, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
                                                                            I know every time I needed  help financially, when I prayed in His name a need was met, Somehow, some way my bills have been payed and I and my babies have yet to do without. He has supplied my every need.
                                                                            When I think of the Cross and what he endured and the death he suffered, I see the love He had to have had to do that and it makes me realize that  had he not died, He never could have Risen. For it is in his Resurrection that begets the Power. For when he died He beat satan ,and took back the keys of death.  Christ is the Victor. And if I am in Christ, it makes me victorious also.
                                                                             I will never forget what Jesus did on the Cross, What He did for one, He did for all. He died to give us that ( dynamite) Power in His name.  I know first hand what the Name of Jesus can do, and what Power it wields in my life, Do you? It is the name above all names. It makes the blind, see: the crippled, walk: the deaf, to hear. It brings light  where there is darkness. It brings joy in the morning and hope instead of despair. To sum it up The name Jesus, brings LIFE. John 10:10 says, "Jesus came that we may have life and have it more abundantly."
                                                                      When we pray, we are activating the Power and the Life that he gave us in His Name. He wants nothing more than to bless his children, to give us a life with abundance.
                                                                       Remember today, that Jesus is waiting to hear your prayers, and to answer them. He loves us and is always ready to intercede on our behalf. If we but call on the Powerful Name of Jesus!!
