*THE STIRRING ROD FOR THE SUPERNATURAL* *The Name Of Jesus* *The Strong Tower* *The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.* Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; you can take cover in it. When the arrows of the enemy are coming, you can take cover in the name. You simply say, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth”, and you are safe. I decree peace to every storm that has been raging in your life, family, business, and mind, in Jesus’ name. Whatever has a name has no choice but bows to the name of Jesus. Therefore, whatever has a name and is upsetting your life, I command it to bow, in the name of Jesus! *It Is Anointed* Christ is called the anointed One. The name Christ means the anointed One. So when you say, “In the name of Jesus”, you are invoking the anointing upon the anointed One into operation. When you say, “In Jesus name”, you are in other words saying, “My anointing may not be able to carry this, but I invoke the anointing upon the anointed One into this situation by invoking His name.” Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. Songs Of Solomon 1:3 *The name of the Bridegroom is as the ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.* Every time you invoke the name of Jesus in faith, you are bringing the anointing of the anointed One to bear on the situation. And you know that God gave Him the Holy Ghost without measure. So, when you use that name, you are operating under an immeasurable anointing. Your cup overflows as you engage the name in battle. The anointing on Christ comes on the scene, because His name is like pouring out the anointing that is upon Him. His name is as ointment poured forth. *For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.* John 5:22-23 That means only what will refuse God, will refuse the name of Jesus when you call it. Whatever cannot resist God cannot resist the name of Jesus. It was the name that brought Goliath down. David said, “You come to me with a spear and a sword, but I come to you in the name of the Lord God of Host.” I want you to use the name of Jesus against whatever represents a Goliath in your life. You will say, “I come against you Goliath in the name of Jesus Christ. Today I’m bringing down your head for the fowls of the air. I’m getting free from every entanglement and embarrassment, in the name of Jesus!” So, the name of Jesus is not a mere conjunction in prayer; it is a rod of authority in the school of signs and wonders. It is your staff of authority. So, when you to pray, you breathe faith in, and bring the worth of that name to bear on the situation. When you invoke the name, the gift of God that challenges the integrity of the giver goes into action, and God cannot deny Himself. Also, the anointing of Christ the anointed One is on it, so whatever cannot withstand Him, cannot stand the authority in His name. You then see yourself as Christ standing in human form, and you see Christ reaching out through you to bring out the captives. You breathe faith in, and breathe the name out. “In the name of Jesus!” With that depth of understanding, signs and wonders erupt, oppositions fall apart, and liberty and freedom is established. I decree that this staff of authority will never drop off your hands again. In Acts chapter 3, we see Peter use that name to heal a lame man. *Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God:* Acts 3:6-9 Peter said, “Such as I have”, not “Such as I know.” The use of the name of Jesus is your privileged right as a child of God. It is your covenant inheritance. You have His mandate to use His name, because you are a believer. “Such as I have!” Walking, and leaping, the lame man entered the temple, praising God. And when they challenged Peter and John, asking, “What is this that you have done?” Peter said it is the name at work! That will be your testimony from now on. He said it is the name at work. We didn’t work it; the name did. *“And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all”* (Acts 3:16). Hear what Peter also said in Acts 4:9-10: *If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.* *Peter said, “We want you to know that the name made it to happen. Faith in the name is the mystery behind this miracle.”* The name took control of the early Church; the name is regaining control now. The council met and said you must not teach or speak in this name again. The name was a problem to the kingdom of darkness. Thank God for the freedom of worship we have today, so use the name. Use it every day; use it everywhere. Use it against every opposition, and people will begin to see what the name is working in your life. Every time you are in a vehicle, and it is trying to misbehave, heading for an accident, put it back on course with the name. “In the name of Jesus, peace be still.” Every time sickness threatens your home, arrest it with the name, because whatever has a name answers to the name of Jesus. The name is a wonder working force. That name is full of wonders. And when the name is invoked in faith, wonders flow like a river. Thank Him for the gift of the name. “Lord, thank You for the gift of Your name. Thank You for the staff of authority You have placed in my hand.” https://chat.whatsapp.com/ElKaNjH1oHz6UF5yulS7b2 https://chat.whatsapp.com/ExCD9jKcKnR8wQUJqC1mSj
