RHAPSODY OF REALITIES FRIDAY, 15TH AUGUST
UNLIMITED AUTHORITY
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son (John 14:13).
There’re no limits to what we can do in the Name of Jesus. Our potentials, abilities, strength, wisdom, dominion and might are infinite because we represent Him. We live in His Name. We can do anything and all things in His Name. This is one reason you must be bold, tough, and never act like a victim; in Christ, you’re more than a conqueror.
Read again what the Lord Jesus said in our opening scripture: “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Only the Name of Jesus wields unlimited authority, power that changes hopeless situations and makes all things possible. What a Name!
No wonder the Bible says, “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; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11). Then in Mark 16:17-18, the Lord Himself said, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
This is absolutely glorious because it means it doesn’t matter what the case is, you can have a miracle, a testimony, in His Name. Now you can understand why Peter could boldly address a man who was impotent in his feet and commanded him to stand up in the Name of Jesus and the crippled limbs received strength (read Acts 3:1-8).
The devil could not stop it. The man leaped and walked; how? In the Name of Jesus That Name is above every name, and in that Name, you have authority over all things. Therefore, reign and exercise dominion in this world. Praise God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the power in the Name of Jesus by which I reign and exercise dominion in this world. In His Name, I cast out devils, heal the sick and walk in victory. Nothing is impossible unto me because I function in the authority of that glorious Name. Thank you for the privilege to use the Name of Jesus and to live triumphantly today. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Acts 3:1-8 KJV
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, [being] the ninth [hour]. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; 3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. 4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted [him] up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength. 8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Mark 16:17 KJV
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Philippians 2:9-11 MSG
Because of that obedience, God lifted him high and honored him far beyond anyone or anything, ever, 10 so that all created beings in heaven and on earth--even those long ago dead and buried--will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ, 11 and call out in praise that he is the Master of all, to the glorious honor of God the Father.
