There’s Warfare Over His Name

SCRIPTURE: ACTS 4

I’m not sure we understand the power that resides in the name of Jesus. The war that started in heaven and ended with Satan falling to earth was over the name. Lucifer thought he would have the highest name, but he fell flat.

The religious leaders crucified the bearer of the name, only to see Him later raised from the dead and ascend to heaven. When He got there His name was highly exalted and given to His apostles to use in power and bring salvation, healing and miracles to lost humanity. When they used the name they were arrested and beaten. They were forbidden by the religious vipers to say the name after they had been imprisoned and beaten for doing miracles the name.

So what should we do in His name? Cast out devils, heal the sick and raise the dead. That’s how this warfare ends in victory. We preach the gospel and do miracles in His name.
