LIVING IN HIS EXCELLENT NAME For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring (Acts 17:28). True Christianity is living in the Name of Jesus. The very thought of this is so awe-inspiring! Colossians 3:17 says And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus... Notice that the underlined phrase says...do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, not through the name of the Lord Jesus. There is a big difference between the two. Doing all things in His Name means living in His Name. Thats the way to live a supernatural life. That means you are living for Him, in His authority. Therefore, defeat, failure, and poverty cant be a part of your life. Life for you is glory all the way, because the Name of Jesus is named upon you. Not realizing this truth is the reason some Christians erroneously, pray through Jesus. Nowhere in the scriptures are we told to pray through Jesus Christ. Rather, we are to pray in the Name of Jesus. To pray through Him is to make Him a medium; but to pray in His Name is to exercise the power of attorney that He has given to you. The former is a demonstration of unbelief, while the latter is real Christianity. Nothing could be more sublime than our call to live in the Name of the Creator of the universe. His is the most wonderful and excellent Name there is. Living with this consciousness will stir unprecendented boldness in your Spirit, such that you are totally unruffled by any crisis! What a glorious life we have in Christ! Everything in life is subject to the power and authority of His Name. God gave a decree to that effect; He commanded all of nature---everything in Life---animate or inanimate, to hear and obey Jesus (Matthew 17:5). He has all authority in heaven, and on earth. So if you find yourself in a challenging situation, declare, In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I decree a change! I command peace and calmness, and that will be it! PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for giving me the Name of Jesus, to use and to live by. By the power and authority of that Name I declare that the lines are falling unto me in pleasant places; Im making progress with giant strides today, with all of nature, and everything that exists, working together in my favour, in Jesus Name. Amen. F U R T H E R S T U D Y: Acts 4:12 There is Salvation in no-one else! Under all heaven there is no other name for men to call upon to save them. (TLB) Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do (no matter what it is) in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in (dependence upon) His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.

We invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying thus: O Lord God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus Christ. Your Word says, ...whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Acts 2:21). I ask Jesus to come into my heart to be the Lord of my life. I receive eternal life into my Spirit and according to Romans 10:9, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved, I declare that I am saved: I am born again: I am a child of God! I now have Christ dwelling in me, and greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4)! I now walk in the consciousness of my new life in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! CONGRATULATIONS! You are now a child of God. UNITED KINGDOM Tel: +44 (0) 2070 180 719 USA Tel: +1 (0) 980 219 5150 CANADA Tel: +1 647-341-9091 FOLLOW PASTOR CHRIS on YOOKOS yookos Sign up TODAY!
