Live In His Name



Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every
name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in
earth, and things under the earth (Philippians 2:9-10).

ust before His ascension, Jesus said, All power is given unto me in heaven and in
earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:18-19). All authority in
heaven and in earth has been given to Jesus, and He has given you the power of attorney
to live and function in His Name. Everything that exists in this world is subject to the
Name of Jesus.
Now, when you see the Word name, dont just think about the spelling of the
Name J-E-S-U-S. The word Name refers to more than His identity. It refers to His
authority and His character. As far as God is concerned, the day you were born again,
you ceased to live in your name; you are supposed to live in the Name of Jesus. That
means you are supposed to function in His place, with his authority and in His character.
What a thought! You are supposed to act for Jesus.
When you speak, it ought to be with the same words, the same power and the same
authority as though Jesus Himself were the one speaking. Listen to me, no matter how
nice your own name sounds, its nothing compared to the Name of Jesus! When you
wake up to this truth and start living in His Name, your life will be full of power and
glory.
I encourage you to take advantage of the power of attorney that has been given to
you. You represent Jesus today, so take some time out and meditate on that Name. Let
the full weight of the power behind that Name of Jesus come home to you, and then
begin to live in His Name.
