The Name of Jesus
People need to understand the power in the Name of Jesus when used in faith. "The name of the Lord is a strong tower: The righteous runneth into it, and is safe."- Proverbs 18:10. Even though the believer has been delivered from the power of darkness, he still lives in a world dominated by satan. The Name of Jesus is a weapon for us to use. Jesus inherited His name from God. The power in His name can only be measured by the power of God.- Hebrews 1:1-5. Jesus got the authority of His name by defeating satan.- Colossians 2:15. His defeat over satan in hell-Hebrews 2:14. and He took the keys and the armour in which satan trusted, and gave us the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven- Luke 11:21-22. We need to get a hold of the fact that Jesus has purchased and taken the keys back from satan and given them to us. This gives us, the believers, a right to use them and have our needs met in every realm of life. There is a force and power behind the Name of Jesus because that is how God set it up; to put everything under Jesus' feet, thus under ours. Smith Wigglesworth had a remarkable revelation of this fact and he acted on it accordingly. We have a bought, purchased right to use the Name of Jesus: to cast out demons, heal the sick, and to conquer over the powers of darkness in all areas. We have His Name and authority.
The whole right to use someones name is the whole right to His complete authority. On the grounds of Jesus' victory over satan, we have a legal right to accept Jesus as our personal Saviour and enter into the Kingdom of God. " But rather seek ye the Kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not little flock; for it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the Kingdom"- Luke 12:31-32. We have a right to everything good that exists- I Corinthians 3:21-22.
We have a legal right to all Jesus accomplished:
1: eternal life
2: victory over satan, sin, sickness, demons and fear
3: a home in Heaven
4: use of the Name of Jesus in prayer
5: the Fathers care and protection
6: a sons place in the Family of God
7: the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
8: a redeemed body at the appearing of Jesus
9: to be translated at the appearing of Jesus
10: an inheritance in the new Heaven and new earth
11: to live with our Father throughtout eternity in the Throne Room
Praise God we have this access to these things by what Jesus accomplished on the cross. Wigglesworth brings this out in all chapters of his book.
