Established in the Authority of The Name of Jesus.
Jesus declared: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:35. The Word of Jesus Christ carries unchanging authority. That same authority has been entrusted to those who belong to Him.
The world does not need another powerless Church, but they are in desperate need for the people of the Lord to be established in a personal revelation of who we are in Christ and of the greater reality of Christ within our lives. Every follower of Christ is called to be established in the revelation of the authority vested in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Jesus said: “All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” ”Matthew 28:18–20. As believers, we are never called to rely on our intellectual ability, which is powerless; revelation must be birthed within the heart and proven through obedience.
“And whatsoever you shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask any thing in My Name, I will do it.” John 14:13–14 There is a charge that has been laid at our disposal : We are to live in the Name of Jesus Christ, acting upon the awesome power of His name.
Whereby we will glorify the Father, because the authority of the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth transcends every realm natural and spiritual, visible and invisible. We must understand that His Name stands supreme, unchanging, eternal, and victorious. It cannot fail, diminish, or weaken.
Jesus further declared: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My Name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.” They will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”Mark 16:17-18. The authority exercised by the believer does not originate in the believer. It flows from the risen Christ, who possesses all authority and commissions His people to act in His Name.
The Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is therefore not to be whispered without conviction, but declared with the boldness of Heaven’s mandate. Jesus said: “He that believes 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.”John 14:12
Every believer must lay hold of revealed truth:
The authority that once flowed through the hands of Jesus now operates through His Body on earth.
The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now empowers those who believe.
This authority is not given for human ambition or personal glory.
It is entrusted so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Every time the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is spoken in genuine faith, the believer is appealing to the authority of the risen Lord. The Name is not a religious formula; it is the expression of faith in the Person who bears it.
The power is not in the sound of the words alone. The authority rests in Jesus Himself, and faith lays hold of what He has accomplished and entrusted to His people. This is why Jesus declared: Jesus said:“If you shall ask any thing in My Name, I will do it.”John 14:14. The question is not whether His Name still holds power it does. The question is whether His people will walk worthy of the authority entrusted to them.
The believer must no longer shrink from darkness, but stand in the authority of the One whose Name is above every name. The believer is therefore not merely called to know about the Name of Jesus, but:
To live under its authority.
Minister through it.
And represent the One who bears it.
We must understand that there is no higher authority, no greater power, and no surer victory than in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the risen Son of God. As believers, we have not been left powerless. We have been entrusted with the most powerful Name in all creation.
The Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the believer’s legal right, spiritual weapon, and divine covering. It is the seal of Heaven upon the Church and the mark of sonship upon every believer. The believer who truly understands this authority will no longer live as though victory is uncertain. They will stand in what Christ has accomplished and exercise the authority He has entrusted to them.
For in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth lies the fullness of redemption, the power of the Kingdom, and the glory of the risen Son of God. The authority of the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is as real and powerful today as it was when He first spoke it.
