I was receiving some insight into the ‘Name of Jesus’. Most Christians do not realize what embodies the ‘Name of Jesus’ and what can happen when the Name is used in a command. It is Not just a name that you can say because it refers to God’s Son; the Name IS God’s Son, who Jesus is, what He embodies, and what He can do, are all encapsulated in His name, all to be released when His Name is spoken.
However, if a Christian does not understand all these things concerning the Name of Jesus, they will not speak His name forth with the boldness, the faith, and the authority that are required for achieving the results that can be achieved through His Name.
Jesus had, and has, authority. His Name is the person, so His Name also has the same authority. You can bring all of this back to the subject of ‘God’s Divine Authority Structure’.
Sickness and disease has a certain amount of authority, which is given by the flesh when it is accepted as fact. The flesh of man (the mind, will and emotions) also has a certain amount of authority, in that it has to be put to death in order for a higher authority, the Spirit of God, to reign in someone’s life. The Name of Jesus ranks the highest in authority over the other two.
You will notice in Acts 3: when Peter and John approached the man at the gate Beautiful that Peter spoke the Name of Jesus out first before he commanded the man to rise up and walk. By doing this, Peter established the supreme authority figure first over the situation. Then he commanded the man’s flesh to reject the infirmity ie. the lesser authority, and obey the higher authority.
When the Name of Jesus was spoken, which is the container of the highest authority that exists, the sickness had no choice but to leave, and the flesh had no choice but to obey. This becomes a tangible reality when the one speaking the Name of Jesus has an inner awareness of the magnitude of power, authority, and anointing that is released and directed when the Name of Jesus is spoken in faith.
