Your Power IS In His Name

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     We’ve been given the Power and Authority to use our Lord's Name on this earth Luke 10:19 says, “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.”

     Jesus came that you would have life and that abundantly.  If we didn’t have authority over the devil (twerp) then how could this happen?  1 John 3:8 says, “the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning.  The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.”

    Demons tremble at the name of Jesus.  Every believer has been give authority over all the power of the enemy, in Jesus name.  When Peter and John faced threats and arrest from the priest and elders in Jerusalem, they reported it to their fellow believers, who prayed for them.  Acts 4:19:29-30 ““And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your Word with all confidence, while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.” 

     Notice, they didn’t tell the Lord their problem, they just asked him to speak and extend His hand to heal, and let signs and wonders take place.  Jesus said in John 4:48  “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe.”  For some reason, we tend to tell God the problem for 5-20 minutes, or tell Him “how to” fix the problem from beginning to end, even though He already knows it.  Hebrews 4:13 “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.”   In many cases, we just need to cry out HELP DAD!  Or possibly lay the problem at the cross – AND leave it there.  Dad knows every cell in your body, every thought you have, every word you speak, nothing is hidden from Him.

     Then, according to Acts 4:29-30 the Holy Spirit instantly responded, filling them with His Spirit.  Keep in mind, we’ve been taught for many years “seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and His righteousness – THEN all these things shall be added unto you.” I wonder why we seek Him last, when all hope is gone.  Let’s repent (change our ways) ASK HIM FIRST it may take some time to remember, but practice makes it a habit, then we have the promise – IT SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU!

     Acts 3:6, you and I may be like Peter, not having silver or gold.  But we have what Isaiah 57:19 says, “Creating the praise of the [with our] lips.  Peace, peace to him who is far and to him who is near" Says the LORD, “and I will heal him.”  And I would ask each of you, who gave you your lips; your vocal cords, each breath that you take, etc.?   Now that’s something, I hope all of you think about for awhile – AND Praise the Father, your Dad for all you are and what He’s training you for in these last days.

Blessings to all of you, Happy New Year too,
