In the Book of Acts, which I have been reading the last few days, the name of Jesus Christ has a very prominent place. The early Christians were strong believers in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Therefore they saw signs and wonders take place in that powerful name.

The apostles on the way to a prayer meeting met with a paralysed beggar looking to them for money. They had no silver or money to offer. They had something more powerful. They had the name of Jesus. In that name they could heal the paralysed man. They had no power in them self, but they had been given the right to use the powerful name of Jesus. By faith in the name of Jesus the paralysed man was healed. Peter is even saying that faith comes through that name!

The apostles proclaimed that salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved. What a powerful name! It brings salvation to everyone who calls upon that name!

The early believers cast out demons in that name. They set people free from demonic oppression by that powerful name. The early believers believed in and knew the power in the name of Jesus and were bold in using the name to defeat the destructive powers of the prince darkness.

When we pray in the name of Jesus we discover that this name opens the doors of heaven and releases the heavenly resources. I love the powerful name of Jesus!
