The Power of a Name.

Thursday, March 31, 2011
The Power of A Name. There are names that we all recognize. When we hear a name that’s familiar to us it raises some emotions within us. There are names we associate with power, like the names of Presidents. There are names we associate with goodness, like Mother Theresa. There are names we associate with important events in history. And then there’s The Name, and it’s unlike any other.
This is the name that strikes fear into the heart and core of every demon of hell. Scripture says that at the mere speaking of The Name hell trembles. When I am in a situation of great temptation, and it seems as though the enemy is preparing his victory dance over me, I can speak the Name, and hell has to flee. Man what a Name.
This is the name that brings peace to my soul. In the most barren of desert lands, this Name brings me refreshment. In the darkest of deep valleys, this Name brings me the most magnificent light. On the most difficult of days, this Name brings me a strength that is unmatched. In the loneliest of hours, this Name brings me comfort. Man what a Name.
This is the name that is above every other name. This name is supreme to the name of every other religious leader ever to walk this earth. When placed next to this Name, no other name can even stand. This Name isn’t just one of many – it’s the ONLY one worth holding to. Man what a Name!
This is the name that is given to us whereby we must be saved. This is the only Name that can bring us total forgiveness of sins and peace with God. This Name is the bridge across the gulf of sin, and takes us to God the Father. This is the Name that Mary and Joseph heard spoken by the angels, and gave to the tiny Baby in Bethlehem’s manger. Man, oh man, what a Name!
This is the Name that is stamped upon my heart today. And this name? Well, friend, it’s the Name of Jesus. And I can tell you, there’s no sweeter name that I’ve ever known.



That’s just a thought, and I welcome yours.
Until next time,
