✨OUR POWER OF ATTORNEY TO USE THE NAME ✨

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 5TH 2024

And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all (Acts 3:16).

When we pray today, we don't pray to Jesus in the Name of Jesus as that would be incorrect because it suggests using His power of attorney towards Himself, which makes no sense. The power of attorney Jesus gave us is to act in His stead, to use His Name as though He were the one speaking or making a request.

Imagine you have given your lawyer the power of attorney to act on your behalf. This authority isn't used to address you, but to interact with others on your behalf. Similarly, Jesus has given us His Name to represent Him. So, when we say, "In the Name of Jesus," it carries the same weight as if Jesus Himself were speaking. This is one of the greatest honours we have as Christians.

During our Healing Streams Live Healing Services, when I declare, "I bring you healing in the Name of Jesus, it's not a simple statement; it's a declaration of His authority and power. It doesn't matter where the people are in this world or the situation they're facing; when we use the Name of Jesus, every hindrance is removed, and the power of God is released. His Name is an instrument. Hallelujah!

If you've been diagnosed with cancer, for example, you can kill that cancer using the Name of Jesus. Place your hand over that area and say, "In the Name of Jesus, I command the cancer to die and pass out of my body." If you do it the first time and nothing seems to happen, don't despair; refuse to be moved. Remember, _"They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy" _ (Jonah 2:8). You can declare repeatedly that it's dead until it dematerializes.

If you've been feeling intense pressure in your head, tell it to loosen up in Jesus' Name! Perhaps you're usually attacked by fear, to the point you don't like being alone in the house at night; it's time to put an end to it. Even now, address that spirit of fear, say, "In the Name of Jesus, fear, I rebuke you; get out." Then start declaring, "I refuse to fear; I'm bold in the Name of Jesus!"

Maybe you've been job-hunting for a long time now to no avail, you can decide and say, "Today, I'm going out to have the best job I've ever had in my life, in the Name of Jesus" and you'll get it. Hallelujah! The power of attorney given to us to use the Name of Jesus is absolute and ineffable. No circumstance, situation, or demon can gainsay, withstand, or refute that power.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the power and authority of the mighty Name of Jesus. I stand in the victory and dominion of that Name against circumstances and the forces of darkness. Satan's influence and manoeuvres over God's people are frustrated in the Name of Jesus, and the Church revels in the dominion and triumph of Christ, supremely blessed and favoured, in Jesus' mighty Name. Amen.

✨THE AUTHORITY OF HIS✨

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 5TH 2024

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it_(John 14:13-14)

Notice carefully that the Lord Jesus didn’t say, “Whatsoever you shall ask me in my name, that will I do.” Rather, He said, “Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name” there’s a crucial difference here. You can't ask Jesus something in the Name of Jesus.

Often, people pray without thinking about their words. Many pray to the Lord Jesus and end the prayer with “in the Name of Jesus.” This is not correct. This is a prayer without understanding, and some pray this way without seeing results because they approach prayer with a religious mindset, not with the understanding of what Jesus taught.

When Jesus said, “Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,”* He meant that whenever you make a demand or declare something in His Name, He will make it happen. It's about exercising the authority that His Name represents. In Acts 3, we see a practical demonstration of this by Peter and John when they encountered a beggar who had been lame from birth. In verse 6, Peter said to him, “...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.”

Peter didn't pray to Jesus. He spoke to the man in the authority of the Name of Jesus. Peter then took the man by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately, the man's feet and ankle bones received strength. He jumped up, stood, and began walking, leaping, and praising God. Hallelujah! Afterwards, Peter explained and said to the people: “And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all” (Acts 3:16). Peter and John were demonstrating exactly what Jesus taught in John 14:13-14. They used the authority of Jesus' Name to perform miracles, signs, and wonders.

When you speak in His Name, Heaven responds; miracles happen. His Name carries the same power and authority of His person. So, when you use it, you invoke His presence and direct His glory to the situation you’re dealing with. We’ll learn more about this in our next study.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus to effect changes. I exercise that authority to establish your will in the earth and in the lives of men. I pray today, that people everywhere will experience the goodness of God, for indeed the whole earth is filled with your goodness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

Acts 3:12-16

And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; 15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

Philippians 2:9-11

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Mark 16:17

18 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 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.

✨LOVE NOT THE WORLD✨

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 30TH 2024

And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice (1 Kings 11:9).

Though Solomon was a great king and the wisest man that ever lived before Jesus, he didn’t quite live His entire life pleasing the Lord. The Bible says he loved many “strange women” and followed their gods. He brought them from nations where God already forbade the children of Israel to marry from.

In 1 Kings 11:2, God said, “...Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods....” But the concluding part of that verse says, “...Solomon clave unto these in love.” As a result, the Lord wasn’t pleased with him. Some Christians are that way today. Their closest friends and associates are people of the world. Like Solomon, they cleave to the wrong people and to the wrong associations for the wrong reasons.

Some of them keep these friendships because they help to make them become socially famous or popular. But the Bible says, “…know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4). 1 John 2:15 says, “Love not the world, neither the

72 things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”

Solomon chose to become a socially famous king. Read about him; after God’s second appearance to him, there’s no record of him praying anywhere in the Scriptures. Instead, everything associated with him was social. He was in one meeting or the other, receiving visitors, and attending parties, but no meetings with the Lord.

You have to understand that the people you associate with will become the standard for the things that take your time. These include your interests and the things you love. God said to the children of Israel, “…for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods...” (1 Kings 11:2). Don’t say, “I know myself; they can’t influence me”; rather, simply heed God’s admonition. He already said concerning unwholesome associations, “…come out from among them, and be ye separate…” (2 Corinthians 6:17). God knows better than you do. If He tells you the result of taking an action, trust that He’s right and follow His Word.

CONFESSION

I’m discerning in my relationships and guided by the wisdom of God to fraternize only with those who honour the Lord and His Word, and have reverence for the things of the Spirit. I prioritize fellowship with the Lord above everything else, and set my heart on the glory and realities of the Kingdom. Amen.

✨OUR NEEDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN MET✨

TUESDAY OCTOBER 29TH 2024

He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things (Romans 8:32 AMPC).

Did you know that as a Christian, it’s pointless for you to keep praying for your needs? The privilege and blessing of prayer in the New Testament is that it gives us the opportunity to establish the will of the Father in the earth, not to pray for our needs; our needs have already been met.

Whatever you desire or would ever desire in this world has already been provided for. What you need to learn is how to use the Word of God to appropriate for yourself whatever you require, because ALL things are yours: “Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21). That’s a present-hour reality; it’s not a promise. All things are yours now!

Furthermore, Ephesians 1:3 says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” Notice that it says you’re already blessed with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; it includes material blessings too, because the spiritual gave birth to the physical. The lesser is included in the greater.

The foregoing verses were from the Apostle Paul; what was Peter’s mindset on the same subject? Read 2 Peter 1:3 and see the consistency of truth. It says, “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness….” Think about it; that covers everything! Can you see why your life should be one of unending praise and thanksgiving to the Lord?

Someone might say, “Well, these are beautiful scriptures, but I don't experience life that way.” That's because you have chosen to look at life from your experience instead of getting your experience to conform to the Word. That's why you need to learn God's Word, understand it and put it to work, and its blessings will manifest in your life. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the provisions of the Gospel; I’m confident in all that you’ve done, and I take my place of dominion, reigning and ruling with you, for I know you’ve made all things mine. I’m what you say I am; I have all you say I have; and I can do all things in the Name of the Lord Jesus. I’m rich in all things, because I’m a joint-heir with Christ. Praise God!

✨PREACH HIS LOVE AND GOODNESS✨

MONDAY OCTOBER 28TH 2024

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance (Romans 2:4).

When we preach the Gospel, what exactly are we preaching? The Gospel is good news—the availability of the righteousness of God. Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world. The Bible says, "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" (John 3:17). So what did Jesus tell us to do? He said, “Preach the Gospel!”

We’re to tell the world how good, gracious and kind God is; He’s not the God of judgement, but the God of love. So, preach His love. I remember when I used to go for crusades with the movie, titled, “Burning Hell.” It scared people to repentance, but only for a while. The fear didn’t last because it was based on emotion, not true repentance. It’s the goodness of God that leads men to repentance, not the judgement of God.

When people hear about the goodness of God, they’re moved to come out of their darkness. Think about Noah; he preached about the coming judgement for years, but how many people repented and entered the Ark with him? It was only his family. The same happened with Lot. But when the Apostles preached the Gospel, the good news, nations were changed! Hallelujah!

The Gospel is the message of hope, love, life, and victory in Christ. Of course, there’s a hell, and not just hell, there’s also the lake of fire where hell itself will be cast into with Satan and all who reject salvation. But blessed be God; no one who believes in Jesus should be afraid of going to hell, because Jesus already went to hell in our behalf. He paid the price, and gave us eternal life so we can live eternally in victory and success. He brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the Gospel—the good news of your righteousness, love, and grace. I declare that I am a carrier of this message, spreading the light of your goodness wherever I go. Thank you, Lord, for delivering me from the power of darkness and translating me into the kingdom of your dear Son. I rejoice in the victory and eternal life you have given me in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

✨PRESENT YOUR STRONG REASONS✨

SUNDAY OCTOBER 27TH 2024

Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob (Isaiah 41:21).

Luke 7:1-7 tells a remarkable story about a centurion and his servant. Jesus had just finished teaching the people and entered Capernaum where a centurion's servant was gravely ill, almost at the point of death. The centurion, deeply concerned for his servant, sent Jewish elders to beseech the Master to come and heal his servant.

When the elders approached the Master, He didn’t immediately go with them until they gave Him compelling reasons why the centurion was worthy of His attention: “And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. Then Jesus went with them..." (Luke 7:4-6).

Notice the underlined part; the Lord only agreed to go with them to heal the centurion’s servant after they presented their strong reasons. This further illustrates the principle found in Isaiah 41:21, where God challenges the children of Israel to bring forth their strong reasons. This is something we take advantage of when interceding for others: we present our requests with strong, heartfelt reasons. We take God’s Word back to Him as the basis for our arguments, why what we’re asking for has to be done, because it’s in line with His Word.

Remember what the prophet said, “Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips” (Hosea 14:2). So in prayer, you go with compelling words, God’s Word concerning the situation you’re dealing with. The elders we referenced earlier presented their strong reasons effectively; their arguments were based on the centurion’s genuine love and significant acts of kindness, showing that with compelling reasons you can influence divine actions. Write down your arguments; present your reasons thoughtfully, with strong convictions and you’ll always prevail. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, you want all peoples to be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth. Therefore, I pray for those who haven’t yet received Jesus as Lord, that today, as your children preach your Word, all over the world, the light of the glorious Gospel will shine brightly without restrictions, dispelling darkness, and ushering many into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

7 - And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

✨OLD TESTAMENT REFLECTIONS ON THE RAPTURE✨

SATURDAY OCTOBER 26TH 2024

Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead (Isaiah 26:19).

The opening verse offers us a profound glimpse of what will happen at the Rapture. To gain further clarity, let’s refer to the Septuagint: “The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and there in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from thee is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.” In verse 20, the instruction is given: “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.”

The "indignation" refers to God's wrath, a period of judgment that the Bible says would be for three and a half years, as mentioned in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. This period is part of a seven-year timeframe when God resumes His dealings with the children of Israel, known as the 70 th week of Daniel's prophecy; these are weeks of years. Meaning that each week is seven years. We’re currently in the interval between the 69 th week and the 70 th week. Between the 69 th week, which includes the death of the Messiah, and the 70 th week, the Church comes in.

During the tribulation period, the children of Israel will flee to Edom and Moab. However, these regions are not the "chambers" referred to in the prophecy. Edom and Moab will provide refuge, but they do not represent a place of rest or safety. Instead, this period will be a time of Jacob's trouble, not a time of rest.

The phrase "enter thou into thy chambers" mentioned in Isaiah 26:20 refer to the rapture of the Church to heaven, a concept that was a mystery and thus not easily understood in the Old Testament. But these prophetic mysteries were revealed by Paul, who was given this special ministry to the church, and clarified aspects of prophecy that had been previously unknown. Praise God!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of the Rapture and the mysteries of your Word. I rejoice in the assurance that I’ll be caught up to meet you in the air, escaping the wrath to come. I’m strengthened to live in the light of this truth. Thank you for including us in your glorious and eternal plan for mankind, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

27 - And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

✨AUTHORITY RESTORED✨

FRIDAY OCTOBER 25TH 2024

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous (Romans 5:19).

In Matthew 4:8-9, we read the account where the devil tempted Jesus by offering Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, on the condition that Jesus would bow down and worship him. The devil was not merely offering wealth or power, he was calling for worship, demanding that Jesus acknowledge his authority over the world.

To understand this, let’s examine the same account in Luke 4:5-7, where the devil shows Jesus all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time and says, “...All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will, I give it” (Luke 4:6). The devil claimed that all the power and glory of the world were delivered to him, but how did he get it? Certainly, God didn’t give it to him!

To answer this, let’s read Paul’s apologia in 1 Timothy 2:14: “And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” Eve was deceived by the devil, but Adam wasn’t. Adam wilfully chose to disobey God and obey Satan. This act of treason against God is what led to the fall of man. Adam’s wilful disobedience resulted in the loss of the dominion God had given him over the earth. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Romans 5:12).

By yielding to Satan, Adam effectively handed over his God-given authority to the devil, making Satan the "god of this world" (2 Corinthians 4:4). Satan became the ruler of the world systems, taking dominion over the earth; a role intended for Adam.

But thanks be unto God! Jesus, through His death, burial and resurrection, reclaimed the dominion and delivered it back to us. His vicarious sacrifice and restoration in our behalf was the ultimate victory through which the power of Satan was broken, and the authority of Christ was established forever in, and through His Church. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the victory I have in Christ Jesus. I rejoice in the knowledge that through His sacrifice, the authority lost by Adam has been restored to us in Christ. I walk in this victory every day, knowing that I’ve been translated into the Kingdom of your LoveSon, enjoying the glorious liberty of the saints in light, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

✨WE PRODUCE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS✨

THURSDAY OCTOBER 24TH 2024

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21).

We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. This statement is so powerful and it’s absolutely important that every child of God understands it. This verse clearly states that you’re called to produce fruits of righteousness (Philippians 1:9-11), and manifest works of righteousness. You display the virtues and perfections of Him that called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.

The Lord Jesus, in John 15:1-5, reveals that He is the Vine, and we are His branches. That means we’re the fruit-bearing part of the Vine. Christ is the head, and we are members of His Body, with the same quality of life as the Lord Himself. Hallelujah! What does that make you? A solution package, a problem-solver. Think about Jesus: everywhere He went in Bible days, multitudes thronged Him. They came to Him with their catalogue of problems, and He solved their problems and met their needs. He was the solution they needed.

The Bible says as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). Therefore, when you come into a place, it makes no difference what trouble may have been there prior to your arrival, you come in as the righteousness of God and there’re answers and solutions. You produce fruits and works of righteousness. You bring God’s truth into every situation.
