(What It Means To Live In The Name Of Jesus)
TO THE BIBLE: Colossians 3:17 NASB
“Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”
LET’S TALK
The Name of Jesus never fails. No wonder Paul said, whatever you do in speech or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
To do all things in the Name of Jesus doesn’t mean that when you want to clean your shoes or floor, for example, you say, “I clean these shoes in the Name of Jesus” or “I wipe this floor in Jesus’ Name”; no!
What it means is that you’re to live your life in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. In all situations and circumstances, your life proclaims the Name of Jesus Christ; you live as His representative. You live your life every day in and with the consciousness of the power, glory, and dominion of His Name.
When you do this, you won’t struggle with some health troubles; your life will be an unending stream of blessings and the supernatural. You’ll have no consciousness of need because the power and glory of His Name make all things right with you, for you, and in you.
The question is, “How do you live in His Name and as His representative?” It’s simple: first, become conscious of His life in you.
1 John 5:11 says, “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.” This life is both death-proof and disease-proof! Secondly, never live in fear. Live with boldness.
The Bible says, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18).
If before now, you were always attacked by fear, from now on, say, “I refuse to fear. I live in boldness, in the Name of Jesus.”
It makes no difference what you face in life; in His Name, you’re a victor; you’re triumphant forever. In His Name, you live above circumstances and the perils of this world. His Name is a strong tower; you were born into it to live therein. Hallelujah! Have this consciousness.
