More Than A Magic Word – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional July 20th

(The Name Of Jesus Has All Power)

TO THE BIBLE: Philippians 2:9-10
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth.”

LET’S TALK
Our opening scripture is a sovereign declaration of Deity: at the mention of the Name of Jesus, every knee is compelled to bow.

The King James uses the word “things” but the Weymouth translation says, ”…every knee should bow, of beings in Heaven, of those on the earth, and of those in the underworld.”

The Name of Jesus has power over all things, and over all beings, whether they be in heaven, on earth, or in hell.

The Reverend Kenneth E. Hagin told the story of how, as a young boy, he died and went to hell. When he got to the gates of hell, a beastly-looking creature took a hold of him to lead him into hell.

Suddenly, he said, he heard a voice from far above him. He didn’t understand what the voice said, but he recalled that when the voice spoke, all of hell shook and that evil being let him go. He didn’t know who it was that spoke then, but he found out later it was none other than the Lord Jesus.

Jesus has power and authority over everything that exists. That’s why Peter could say to a man who was physically disabled from birth, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6), and the man leaped and walked.

The Name of Jesus is higher than the name of any sickness or any label people try to put on you! As long as that sickness or problem has a name, it’s subject to the Name of Jesus.

Learn to call the Name of Jesus with confidence and with revelation. It’s not a magic word; it’s a Name vested with all the power of the universe.

If you’re facing a challenging situation right now—social pressure, family issues, or physical symptoms—use the Name of Jesus to effect a change.
