Acts Lesson 3/Day 4

Acts Lesson 3/Day 4

Acts 3:11-16

“I wake up every morning and speak into existence in Jesus’ name what I want this day to bring.”

“’I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’ is my life-verse and I speak it over my life.”

“At the name of Jesus all will bow, so that’s how I expect my trials to behave – bowing at Jesus’ name.”

There is power in the name of Jesus. Why? Is it because of the way the letters are arranged or is it because of the sound it makes being spoken? Is the name of Jesus powerful because of any way I use it? No. There is power in the name of Jesus because of who Jesus is. All prayer, all requests, all acts of faith and trust that are in line with the will of God will be answered not because Jesus is the magic word, but because Jesus is the Author of life, the Holy and Righteous One, the servant, the one true God made flesh who perfectly accomplished the will of the Father in his life and will complete it in ours through the Holy Spirit as well. Wielding the name of Jesus like some incantation over our calendar day or trial is to take His holy name in vain. Yes, there is power in the name of Jesus – not for us to use, but for us to acknowledge and submit to. Speak the name of Jesus with all the love and honor and respect it is due and bring your requests to God, in faith, trusting in Jesus as you speak in Jesus’ name.
