For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11 NASB
Philippians 2:9-11 Teaches that every knee will one day bow before Him; whether the angels in heaven, every human being that has ever lived on earth, every demonic force, or the enemy himself, for there is no one comparable to the Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Does it make sense ?!? When we acknowledge and declare that Jesus Christ is the risen saviour, that He is the King over our daily walk, my friends we GET to Proclaim the decree of freedom over our lives and more importantly declare it over the lives of others, Yes Lord ! in the name of Jesus!
Because we do not come in our own authority or with our own clever ideas to become free. When we pray to God about the needs of others, we are agreeing with Holy Spirit and promises of God! When we command in the name of Jesus Christ that the power of darkness leave, command the body to be healed, tell fear and anxiety to take a hike, and destroy the works of the enemy, we do so in the name of Jesus!
Every other authority that is against the Lord’s people must submit and bow its knee, because we come and declare the truth, the name of the King of kings, Jesus Christ! Hallelujah!! Use the name of Jesus, and greater works will be done! Ask God anything that God says in His Word, and it will come to pass! As we pray in the name of Jesus, we will do good and heal all who are oppressed of the devil, for Jesus is with us. As we pray in the name of Jesus we are changed!
When we speak the name of Jesus over any situation, circumstance, turmoil, we do so only because Holy Spirit invites us into His ministry to glorify God, to receive life eternal, to walk with Jesus, the Truth the Way the Life (John 14:6).
And in this day and age, we need God, His truth, in the worst sort of way. This city, the city you are planted in, this nation, millions and millions of God’s created through this world need Jesus Christ. Like right now!
