The POWER of the NAME of JESUS

 

Acts 4:12

King James Version

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: 

for there is none other name under heaven 

given among men, 

whereby we must be saved.


The LORD's name is powerful.

As such, it cannot be bandied about carelessly.

For starters, let JESUS tell you Himself, the power of His name.

Malachi 1:11-12

King James Version

11 For from the rising of the sun 

even unto the going down of the same 

my name shall be great among the Gentiles; 

and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, 

and a pure offering: 

for my name shall be great among the heathen, 

saith the Lord of hosts.

12 But ye have profaned it, 

in that ye say, 

The table of the Lord is polluted; 

and the fruit thereof, 

even his meat, 

is contemptible.


Matthew 6:9

King James Version

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 

Our Father which art in heaven, 

Hallowed be thy name.


Matthew 18:20

King James Version

20 For where two or three are gathered together 

in my name, 

there am I 

in the midst of them.


Matthew 28:18-20

King James Version

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, 

saying, 

All power is given unto me 

in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, 

and teach all nations, 

baptizing them in the name of the Father, 

and of the Son, 

and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things 

whatsoever I have commanded you: 

and, lo, 

I am with you always, 

even unto the end of the world. 

Amen.


Mark 16:17-18

King James Version

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; 

In my name shall they cast out devils; 

they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; 

and if they drink any deadly thing, 

it shall not hurt them; 

they shall lay hands on the sick, 

and they shall recover.


John 3:16-18

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: 

but he that believeth not is condemned already, 

because he hath not believed in the name 

of the only begotten Son of God.


John 5:43-44

King James Version

43 I am come in my Father's name, 

and ye receive me not

if another shall come in his own name, 

him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, 

which receive honour one of another, 

and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?


John 14:13-14

King James Version

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, 

that will I do, 

that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, 

I will do it.


John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.


John 16:23-24

King James Version

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. 

Verily, verily, 

I say unto you, 

Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, 

he will give it you.

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: 

ask, 

and ye shall receive, 

that your joy may be full.


John 16:25-28

King James Version

25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: 

but the time cometh, 

when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, 

but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

26 At that day ye shall ask in my name:

 and I say not unto you, 

that I will pray the Father for you:

27 For the Father himself loveth you, 

because ye have loved me, 

and have believed 

that I came out from God.

28 I came forth from the Father, 

and am come into the world: 

again, 

I leave the world, 

and go to the Father.


Now, let Scripture testify of the POWER of the LORD's name.

sing praises to his name

extol him that rideth upon the heavens 

by his name Jah,

Behold, 

a virgin shall conceive, 

and bear a son, 

and shall call his name Immanuel.

15 Butter and honey shall he eat, 

that he may know to refuse the evil, 

and choose the good.

16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, 

and choose the good, 

the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken 

of both her kings.


Isaiah 9:6-7

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace 

there shall be no end, 

upon the throne of David, 

and upon his kingdom, 

to order it, 

and to establish it with judgment 

and with justice from henceforth even for ever. 

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

and thy name is great in might.

shall the Sun of righteousness arise 

with healing in his wings;

for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet 

in the day that I shall do this, 

saith the Lord of hosts.

that it might be fulfilled 

which was spoken of the Lord 

by the prophet, 

saying,

a virgin shall be with child, 

and shall bring forth a son, 

and they shall call his name Emmanuel, 

which being interpreted is, 

God with us.

when they saw him,

that they should not make him known.

walking, 

and leaping, 

and praising God.

14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, 

and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

15 And killed the Prince of life, 

whom God hath raised from the dead

whereof we are witnesses.

hath given him this perfect soundness 

in the presence of you all.
