JESUS HAS ANOTHER NAME; WHAT IS IT?


JESUS HAD ANOTHER NAME: WHAT WAS IT?

“… He (Jesus) had a name written, that no man knew … his name is called The Word of God…” (Revelation 19:12-13 NASB).

*
I have learned just because you KNOW about something doesn’t mean you KNOW something or SOMEONE. “…Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity…” (Matthew 7:22-23 KJV). 
Knowing ABOUT something is in the category of second-hand knowledge. KNOWING something is the product of a first-hand witness or intimate EXPERIENCES. “…He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me…” (Mark 7:6 KJV).  for thy heart is not right in the sight of God…” (Acts 8:21 KJV). “…Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable…” (Hebrews 4:13 NLT). 
What is the point of knowing ANYTHING; if you don’t KNOW the ONE who is EVERYTHING! “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten(specially made) of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love” (1 John 4:7-8 ASV). 
I have learned God’s WORDS are SPIRIT. “…THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK unto you, they ARE SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV). God is SPIRIT. “…God is Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). The “WORD” is spirit and God is spirit; they are one and the same. “…the Word was God  … (John 1:1-4 NASB). GOD’S IS SPIRIT, THEREFORE, HIS WORDS ARE SPIRIT. GOD’S WORD REVEALS EXACTLY“WHO” HE IS. 
I also LEARNED the WORD became “flesh” or a human vessel. “….The Word became flesh” (John 1:14 NASB). However, I discovered, Jesus, the human vessel was flesh or human, but the WORDS he spoke were Spirit. "…That which is born of the flesh (human) is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit (of God) is Spirit…” (John 3:6 KJV). “…the flesh profiteth NOTHING…” (John 6:63 KJV). “….THE WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV). 
God, the Holy Spirit, SPEAKS “HIS” WORDS, "through" human mouthpieces. “… [JESUS SAID]…I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a [WORD], what I should say, and what I should speak…” (John 12:49 KJV). 
God, the Holy Spirit, “SPEAKS,” his WORDS, which are SPIRIT, through human vessels, yet his words are NOT human. “…God is not human “…God is Spirit” Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill…” (Numbers 23:19 NIV & John 4:24 KJV). “…THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK unto you, they ARE SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV). 
“…Not one of all the LORD's good promises … failed; every one was fulfilled (Joshua 21:45 NIV). “…My [WORDS, they are SPIRIT and they]… SHALL stand, and I will do all my pleasure” (Isaiah 46:10 KJV). 
God’s WORDS (which are SPIRIT), have been around since the beginning of CREATION and was SPOKEN through human MOUTHPIECES. “…THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK unto you, they ARE SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV).  “…In the beginning was the Word (which is spirit), and the Word (which is spirit) was with God, and the Word (which is spirit) was God“…God is Spirit”...” (John 1:1-4 NASB & John 4:24 KJV). 
 “…. All things came into being through Him (The WORD, which is SPIRIT), and apart from Him (The WORD, which is SPIRIT) nothing came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB). “… [The Father, the Word, and the SPIRIT]…. [THESE] three agree in one [god]…” (1 John 5:8 KJV). 
THE WORD OF GOD is SPIRIT. God specially created JESUS, who came in a human vessel. He was also a human mouthpiece that SPOKE God’s WORDS, which are SPIRIT. Jesus, himself, said, “…THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK unto you, they ARE SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV). 
Jesus was born human, and born of the Holy Spirit too! "…That which is born of the flesh (human) is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit (of God) is SPIRIT…” (John 3:6 KJV). Jesus had another name.… His name is called The Word of God…” (Revelation 19:12-13 NASB). 
Jesus became "exactly" WHO God, the Holy Spirit, SAID he would become "THE WORD OF GOD" and "THE ATONING SACRIFICE." God, the indwelling Holy Spirit, GAVE him the POWER to put demands upon the flesh or take authority OVER the flesh in order to BECOME what God CALLED him to BECOME!! He is OUR example!! … His name is called The Word of God…” (Revelation 19:12-13 NASB). 
JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD, HAS ALL POWER. “… Jesus (the WORD of GOD) …came and SPAKE, unto them saying, “All POWER is given unto me IN heaven and earth…” (Matthew 28:18 KJV). 
JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD, DEMONSTRATED THAT POWER! “…God anointed Jesus of Nazareth (HOW?)with the Holy Ghost (god's holy SPIRIT) and WITH POWER: (WHAT DID THE HOLY SPIRIT & GOD’S POWER CAUSE JESUS TO DO?) [HE]... went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for GOD[who is SPIRIT] WAS WITH HIM…” (Acts 10:38-39 KJV). 
“…[GOD, who is SPIRIT]... anointed [ENDOWED him (Jesus, the Word) with the POWER] to preach the gospel to the poor …to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord…” (John 4:16-21 KJV). 
JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD, DEMONSTRATES that GOD’S WORD has the inherent POWER to do exceedingly GREAT WORKS. “… [HE]... went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for  (HOW?) GOD[who is SPIRIT] WAS WITH HIM…” (Acts 10:38-39 KJV). “…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).  
JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD, DEMONSTRATED NOTHING is too HARD for the CONFIRMING WORK, DONE, through the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT. “… [God] is able TO DO exceeding abundantly ABOVE all that we ask or think…” (Ephesians 3:20 KJV). “…I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). “…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). 
JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD, demonstrated that things impossible for humans are POSSIBLE through the CONFIRMING POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. “…The things which are impossible with men … [are] POSSIBLE [with God, who is SPIRIT] …” (Luke 18:27 KJV).  “…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). 
“…THE WORDS … they ARE SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV). “…God is Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). “…The Lord (Jesus Christ, who is the Word of God) is that Spirit…” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). . “I (Jesus the Word of God) and the father (God, who is Spirit) are one…” (John 10:30 KJV).   The “WORD” or JESUS is spirit and God is spirit; they are one and the same. “…the Word was God  …” (John 1:1-4 NASB). 
SINCE GOD IS SPIRIT, HIS WORDS CAN “ONLY” BE SPIRIT TOO! “…THE WORDS … they ARE SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV).  THUS, “…God is not human “…God is Spirit” Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill…” (Numbers 23:19 NIV & John 4:24 KJV). 
Therefore, “…You can ask for anything in my name (IN MY WORD, which is spirit), and I “will” do it...” (John 14:12-14 NLT). “…You can ask for anything in my name (the word of god, which is spirit)...” (John 14:12-14 NLT). “….You may ask for anything you want…” (JOHN 15:7 NASB). “…Ask and it will be given to you…” (Matthew 7:7 NIV). “…everyone who asks receives…” (Matthew 7:8 NIV).  “…And this is the confidence that we have in him (Jesus, the WORD), that, if we ask any thing according to his will (WHICH IS his word), he heareth us” (1 John 5:14 KJV). “… [We]Receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands (follow his instructions) and do what pleases him…” (1 John 3:22 NIV). “…If we know that he hears uswhatever we askwe know that we have what we asked of him…” (1 John 5:15 NIV).

THE WORD AND GOD ARE BOTH SPIRIT

5.     HOW IS GOD’S WORD ABLE TO DO WHAT IT SAYS IT WILL DO? GOD’S WORD HAS ALL “INHERENT” POWER AND AUTHORITY TO DO EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS IT WILL DO. . “… Jesus (the WORD) …SPOKE to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth…” (Matthew 28:18 NASB). 
HAS GOD GIVEN HIS PEOPLE SPECIAL PERMISSION TO USE THE POWER AND AUTHORITY OF HIS WORD? YES. “…God, who had given such authority to men…” (Matthew 9:8 NASB). “… Jesus (THE WORD) ….gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases…” (Luke 9:1 NASB). “… I (JESUS, THE WORD) have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you…” (Luke 10:19 NASB).

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

6.    JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD AND HEALING, CAN YOU DO THE SAME THING? YES. WE CAN DO THE SAME THING“… I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me (dependence upon me; the Word of God) will do what I (Jesus, the WORD) have been doing.  He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.  And I will do whatever you ask in my name,(Jesus, the WORD with inherent power and authority) so that the Son (also the WORD OF GOD) may bring glory (revelation and confirmation of his goodness) to the Father (God, who is SPIRIT).  You may ask me for anything in my name,(the WORD, with inherent power and authority) and I will do it...”  (John 14:12-14 NIV). 
HOW CAN YOU BE EMPOWERED TO DO THE SAME THING JESUS DID? The indwelling Holy Spirit, empowers YOU to DO the SAME WORKS Jesus DID. “…God anointed Jesus of Nazareth (HOW?)with the Holy Ghost (god IS SPIRIT) and WITH POWER: (WHAT DID THE HOLY SPIRIT & GOD’S POWER CAUSE JESUS TO DO?) [HE]... went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for GOD [who is SPIRIT] WAS WITH HIM…” (Acts 10:38-39 KJV).“…[GOD, who is SPIRIT]... anointed [ENDOWED him (Jesus, the WORD) with the POWER] to preach the gospel to the poor …to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord…” (John 4:16-21 KJV). H
OW DO YOU ACTIVATE THE POWER AND AUTHORITY WHICH IS “IN” GOD’S WORD?

DOES GOD ALWAYS “HEAR” HIS WORD? YES. WHEN GOD HEARS HIS WORD, HOW DOES GOD DISPLAY HIS POWER? HIS DISPLAYS HIS POWER “IN” AND “THROUGH” HIS PEOPLE BY THE CONFIRMING WORK OF HIS INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT.  “…the Father that dwelleth in [you], he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…God who does the work IN and THROUGH all of us who are his. The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

7.    WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF GOD’S POWER, AUTHORITY, AND DISPLAY OF HIS WORKS? GOD, HIMSELF, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SOURCE OF HIS “OWN” POWER AND AUTHORITY “…The …HOLY SPIRIT …is the SOURCE of [POWER, AUTHORITY, DISPLAYS OF GOD’S POWERFUL WORKS]. … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “… Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know…”  (Acts 2:22 NIV). “… So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders “ (Acts 14:3 NIV). “… [God’s people shall] serve as signs from the Lord…” (Isaiah 8:18 NLT).  “…The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power (and authority) THROUGH each of [them] … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). For instance, “…God gave Paul the power to perform unusual miracles…” (Acts 19:11 NLT).  …That great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). …That great Shepherd of the sheep …work “IN US” what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…It is God which worketh IN YOU both to will and to do of his good pleasure…” (Philippians 2:13 KJV). 
IS IT THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS SPEAKING “THROUGH” HUMAN MOUTHPIECES? YES, THE HOLY SPIRIT, WORKS “IN” AND “THROUGH” HUMAN MOUTHPIECES. “…All scripture (The WORDS of God) is given by inspiration of God (MOVING of  HIS HOLY SPIRIT)…” (2 Timothy 3:16 KJV).
 HOW DOES GOD SPEAK THROUGH HUMAN MOUTHPIECES? GOD INSPIRES (OR MOVES) THEM TO SPEAK BY THE POWER OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT . They “…SPAKE as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST…” (2 Peter 1:21 KJV). “…The prophecy (WORD OF GOD) came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God SPAKE as they were… MOVED BY THE HOLY [SPIRIT]…” (2 Peter 1:21 KJV). ...There are many ways in which God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work in and through all of us who are his … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “…the [HOLY] SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). …It is God which worketh IN YOU both to will and to do of his good pleasure…” (Philippians 2:13 KJV).  …That great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work “IN US” what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…the Father doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).  _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

8.    God’s WORD “IS” SPIRIT. God’s WORD is HOLY. God’s WORD is POWER. God’s WORD has AUTHORITY. God’s WORD SAVES. God’s WORD transforms lives. God’s WORD is TRUSTWORTHY. God’s WORD will NOT disappoint you. God’s WORD enlightens you with revelatory knowledge of who God is. God’s WORD is NOT limited to versions, translations, or languages. God’s WORD is ALIVE. God’s WORD is ACTIVE. WHAT WAS JESUS’ OTHER NAME? THE WORD OF GOD. … his name (Jesus’ name) is called The Word of God…” (Revelation 19:12-13 NASB). 
WHEN JESUS SPOKE WAS HIS WORDS HUMAN OR SPIRIT? THEY WERE SPIRIT. WHY OR WHY NOT? BECAUSE GOD WAS SPEAKING "THROUGH" HIM AND GOD IS SPIRIT. “…THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK unto you, they ARE SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV). “…God is Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). The “WORD” is spirit and God is spirit; they are one and the same. “…the Word was God  … (John 1:1-4 NASB). “…God is Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). 
WHERE DOES GOD PUT HIS SPIRIT AFTER YOU ARE SAVED? WITHIN YOU. “…God … sent forth the Spirit of His Son (the WORD of God) “INTO” [Y]OUR HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). 
DOES THAT MEAN THE WORD of god IS IN YOU? IT MEANS THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT IS ACTUALLY “IN” YOU AND YOU ARE “ONE” WITH GOD. “…Jesus Christ (the Word of God) is in you” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…The [Holy] Spirit of God dwell[s] in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV).  “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…[the WORD] is that Spirit [too]…” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). The “WORD” is spirit and God is spirit; they are one and the same. “…the Word [is] ... God  … (John 1:1-4 NASB). 
WHEN GOD’S SPIRIT IS IN YOU CAN HE WORK “IN” AND “THROUGH” YOU TO SPEAK HIS WORD? YES, GOD, THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT, WILL DO THE SPEAKING. …God (is Spirit & his Words; they are Spirit and HE)… works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV). “….Apart from Me (Jesus, the WORD of God), you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). 
WHO IS DOING THE WORK OF SPEAKING THROUGH YOU? THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT. “…he (the  indwelling Holy Spirit) doeth the works [IN and THROUGH you]…” (John 14:10 KJV).  THE indwelling HOLY SPIRIT… is able TO DO exceeding abundantly ABOVE all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20 KJV). GOD REVEALS HIMSELF TO YOU. GOD CONFIRMS HIS WORD TO YOU BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 
WHY DOES GOD DO THESE THINGS FOR? BECAUSE HE WANTS “YOU” TO KNOW HE IS, PERSONALLY, THE LORD, “YOUR” GOD. “….Then you will know that [he is] the Lord your God…’” (Exodus 16:12 NLT). “… [God has] done so many miracles before [you] ….” (John 12:37-40 NLT). “… [He has] done [those miracles through HIS WORD] … so you will know that [He is] the Lord [your god]…” (Exodus 10:1-2 NLT). “….In [the miracles he has done through HIS WORD], [You] shalt know that [GOD IS] the Lord...” (READ Exodus 7:14-25). “…Your rock and Your fortress, your deliverer, Your GOD, Your rock, in whom [you can] … take refuge; Your shield and the horn of Your salvation, YOUR stronghold.…" (Psalms 18:3 NASB).  _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
