Power in the name of Jesus
Therefore, God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11
There is power in the name of Jesus (Philippians 2:9-11). There is salvation in the name of Jesus (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:13). Healing occurs in His name (Acts3:6 and 16, 4:10), and the enemy powerless (Luke 10:17). We ourselves are made new by the name of Jesus (1 Corinthians 6:11). In His name, there is forgiveness and wholeness. Indeed, the name of Jesus is a powerful one.
Is your life showing that? Do your children see the power of Jesus in your life? Even when things are tough, and you’re struggling, do they see the strength of Jesus in your weakness? When we aren’t clinging to and living out of our identity in Christ, it is difficult to convince our impressionable children of the power of that identity.
The name of Jesus gives us access to the throne of God, under His authority. His name is the identity we take when we confess that He is ours and we are His.Through His name we have access to resources through the Holy Spirit that bring strength and power to do and endure things we couldn’t face or carry out on our own. Submitting our lives to that identity cannot help but be seen by others, including our children. The authentic surrender of our lives to the name of Jesus is an impactful way to capture their hearts for Him.
