NEW BOOK COMING SOON!

  GLORY: IT'S "IN" THE NAME

“… Glory in His holy name …” (1 Chronicles 16:10 NASB).  “…I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence …” (Exodus 33:16-23 NIV). “…THY NAME is GREAT in might…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV).

*

The bible has been translated in over twenty-three hundred languages and thus the pronunciation or spelling of Jesus’ name varies. In Hebrew it is Yeshua; in Greek Joshua, Ye su in Chinese, Jezus in Dutch, etc. Yet, “…THY NAME is GREAT in might…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV).

It is “NOT” the pronunciation or the spelling that matters as much as the PERSON behind the NAME. “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV).  “…Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV).

In EVERY language or every pronunciation or spelling JESUS “STILL” stands for:  “savior” “anointed one,” "Emmanuel: god is with us," or “the lord is salvation.”

No matter what language we speak; Hebrew, Greek, Chinese, Spanish, English, etc. or whatever; “HE” is “STILL” the Lord and Savior who SAVES! Sinners are being SAVED from their sins in every language.

The POWER is in the GOSPEL message “NOT” the language. “….the gospel of Christ …. is the power of God unto SALVATION TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH…” (Romans 1:16 KJV).

Jesus SAVES in every language. He is the ATONING SACRIFICE in every language. Jesus is the INDWELLING SPIRIT in every language.

It is “NOT” the name, ALONE, that makes HIM Lord and Savior.  It is the person BEHIND the NAME that makes it POWERFUL and AUTHORITATIVE! …Behold the Lamb of God (the person), which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29 KJV). “… He (the person) is the atoning sacrifice for our sins…” (1 John 2:2 NIV).

The SON of man GIVES POWER and AUTHORITY to the NAME, because of “WHO” he is as a person. “… The Son of Man (the person) has authority on earth to forgive sins...” (Matthew 9:6 NASB). “… Jesus (the person) …spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth…” (Matthew 28:18 NASB).

At birth, Jesus’ NAME proclaimed WHO he is which is SAVIOR. “ … The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord…” (Luke 12:10-11 NASB).

The SAVIOR (the person) was GIVEN the name JESUS!!! “… When eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb…” (Luke 12:21 NASB).

Through JESUS God reveals his HOLY nature and divine character to mankind. His NAME distinguishes him ABOVE any other name.  “… [NOW Jesus is]…highly exalted…” with a “name which is above every name…” (Philippians 2:9).

Through Jesus God’s previous titles, references, and names - that revealed his holy nature and divine character -  are represented in “THE SON.”  “The Son is the radiance of God’s GLORY and the exact representation of his being…” (Hebrews 1:3 KJV). ADONAI or YAHWEH or JEHOVAH or JEHOVAH ELOHIM or EL ELYON or JEHOVAH ELOHIM which means:  “Most High" “lord ” "LORD God."

ELOHIM or EL SHADDAI or EL-GIBHOR which means: “Creator, Mighty and Strong” “God Almighty” “Mighty God.”

JEHOVAH –JIREH means: "The Lord Will Provide."

JEHOVAH –RAPHA means: "The Lord Who Heals."

JEHOVAH –NISSI means: "The Lord Our Banner.”

JEHOVAH -M'KADDESH means: "The Lord Who Sanctifies or Makes Holy." 

JEHOVAH –SHALOM means: "The Lord Our Peace.

JEHOVAH H-TSIDKENU means: "The Lord Our Righteousness.”

JEHOVAH –ROHI means: "The Lord Our Shepherd.

JEHOVAH –SHAMMAH means: "The Lord Is There.

JEHOVAH –SABAOTH means: "The Lord of Hosts."

EL ROI means: "God of Seeing."

EL-OLAM means: "Everlasting God."

jesus means: “savior” “anointed one” "Emmanuel: god is with us" “the lord of salvation.”  “… [jesus] … is the … the exact representation of his being (character)…” (Hebrews 1:3 KJV).

The PERSON or the SON whose NAME,  JESUS, “is” the MANIFESTED PRESENCE (GLORY) of God to mankind. “…Jesus saith  … he that hath seen me hath SEEN THE FATHER…” (John 14:9 KJV).  

Jesus manifested God’s PRESENCE by what he DID. “…The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me 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 manifested God’s PRESENCE because they were in a one Spirit, covenant relationship. God also empowered or backed him up with his POWER; the HOLY GHOST. "I and my Father are one." (John 10:30 KJV).

Jesus claimed he and the Father were ONE. God backed up or empowered, or PROVED Jesus’ claims. “…God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and WITH POWER: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for GOD WAS WITH HIM. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem…” (Acts 10:38-39 KJV). “…I do nothing of myself…” (John 8:28 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

Because God backs up Jesus’ claims with the demonstration of his POWER; the Holy Ghost; JESUS HAS THE POWER TO "SAVE." “…Confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and … believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (ROMANS 10:9 KJV). “... Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house…” (ACTS 16:31 KJV). 

 Because of God’s POWER; the Holy Ghost; JESUS becomes ONE SPIRIT with the believer. JESUS indwells the believer. “… He that is joined unto the LORD “is” ONE SPIRIT…” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV). “…The Spirit of God dwell[s]… in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV).

JESUS works "IN" and “THROUGH” the believer EMPOWERING them to do the SAME works God had EMPOWERED him to DO. “…whoever believes in me WILL DO THE WORKS I HAVE BEEN DOING, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father...” (John 14:12 NIV).

Jesus gives the believer the AUTHORITY to use his POWER through the USE of his NAME. “…You can ask for anything in my name (my authority)...” (John 14:12-14 NLT).  “…when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men…” (Matthew 9:8 NASB). “… One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases…” (Luke 9:1 NASB). “… I 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). “…You can ask for anything in my name (in my authority), and I will do it...” (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). “…I will do whatever you ask in my name (my authority), so that the Father may be glorified in the Son…” (John 14:13 NIV).

 “…And this is the confidence that we have in him (Jesus), that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us…” (1 John 5:14 KJV). “… [We] … Receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him…” (1 John 3:22 NIV). “…If we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him…” (1 John 5:15 NIV).

“…You can ask for anything in my name (in my authority), and I will do it...” (John 14:12-14 NLT).

It is NOT simply the NAME that has POWER and AUTHORITY; it is the PERSON behind the NAME. “…I (the person) will do it...” (John 14:12-14 NLT).

The POWER and AUTHORITY DWELLED “IN” JESUS, but THE POWER AND AUTHORITY BELONGED to GOD. “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…POWER belongeth unto God...” (Psalms 62:11 NIV). “….GOD IS ALL-POWERFUL. …glorify HIS MIGHTY WORKS…” (Job 36:22-33 NLT). “…I do nothing of myself…” (John 8:28 KJV).

God GAVE JESUS the POWER and AUTHORITY. “… Jesus  …spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been GIVEN to Me in heaven and on earth…” (Matthew 28:18 NASB).

The same POWER and AUTHORITY DWELLS in the believer. “…God’s Spirit dwells in you?...” (1 Corinthians 3:16 NASB).“…It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose” (Philippians 2:13 NIV). “…Christ in you, …” (Colossians 1:27 KJV). ^“…May he (the indwelling Spirit, his power and authority) work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). 

Jesus GAVE the BELIEVER the “SAME” indwelling POWER and AUTHORITY. “…Apart from Me you can do nothing…” (John 15:4-6 NASB).“… Jesus ... gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases…” (Luke 9:1 NASB). “…It is God which worketh IN YOU … to do (exercise power and authority) …” (Philippians 2:13 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…Jesus Christ IS IN YOU…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV).  

“…In this world we are like Jesus (exercising power and authority)…” (1 John 4:17 NIV). Therefore, “…You can ask for anything in my name (in my authority), and I will do it...” (John 14:12-14 NLT).

The “same” ABILITIES JESUS had to heal, cast out devils, and deliver he GAVE to the believer. They possess, the indwelling Holy Spirit (POWER, AUTHORITY) to DO what Jesus DID. What DID Jesus DO? “…The Spirit of the Lord … [was] … upon . [him[, because he hath anointed … [him] … to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent … [him] … 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).

“…he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also...” (John 14:12 NASB).

Jesus was ANOINTED (set apart and ordained) with the HOLY SPIRIT and POWER. “…God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and WITH POWER: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for GOD WAS WITH HIM. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem…” (Acts 10:38-39 KJV).

The believer is also ANOINTED (set apart and ordained) with the HOLY SPIRIT and POWER. “…he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also...” (John 14:12 NASB).

Therefore, “…You can ask for anything in my name (in my authority), and I will do it...” (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).

How do you EXERCISE this POWER and AUTHORITY? First, “KNOW” that Jesus has GIVEN YOU permission to USE his NAME. Using his NAME is like having his POWER-of-attorney.

A power-of-attorney is the GIVEN right to ACT for another person with their FULL permission. “… ask for anything in my name (with my power-of-attorney)..” (John 14:12-14 NLT).

Having his POWER-of-Attorney is the same as actually BEING Jesus and having “HIS” power and authority. “…He [or she]… that is joined unto the Lord is ONE SPIRIT….” (1 Corinthians 6:17). “…I and my Father are…ONE…" (John 10:30 KJV).  “…that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us…” (John 17:21-23 NASB).

Second, when YOU make requests, to God, the Father, using Jesus’ NAME or his so-called POWER-of-ATTORNEY, he “WILL” hear YOU as if he is actually hearing Jesus himself. “…Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me. You always hear me...” (John 11:41-42 NLT).“…This is the confidence that we have in him (Jesus), that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us [too]…” (1 John 5:14 KJV).

 Third, when you MAKE a REQUEST or DECREE and USE Jesus’ NAME the Holy Spirit FULFILLS it! “…I will do whatever you ask in my name (with my power-of-attorney) …” (John 14:13 NIV). “…I will do it...” (John 14:12-14 NLT). “…I do nothing of myself…” (John 8:28 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

Fourth, Jesus is WITH you – through his indwelling Spirit - as INSURANCE or a GUARANTEE that your REQUEST “will” be done. “….Again I say to you, that if two  (YOU and Jesus) of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst….” (Matthew 18:19-20 NASB).

Jesus NAME is GREAT and is ABOVE any other NAME, because JESUS, the person, is HIGHLY EXALTED. “… [Jesus is]…highly exalted…” with a “name which is above every name…” (Philippians 2:9). “…I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified (manifested, revealed) in the Son…” (John 14:13 NIV).  “… Jesus saith unto him …he that hath SEEN ME HATH SEEN the Father …” (John 14:9 KJV). “…The Son is … the EXACT representation of his being…” (Hebrews 1:3 KJV).

Therefore, “…Trust in the Lord with all thine heart …” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “… lean not unto thine own understanding…” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV).  “ … In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths…” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “…The steps of a good man are ordered (directed) by the Lord: …” (Psalms 37:23 KJV). “…The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing JOY to the heart…” (Psalms 19:8 NLT). “…JOYful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord…” (Psalms 119:1 NLT). God is “…watching over [his[… word to perform it…” (Jeremiah 1:12 NASB). “…It (his word) shall not return unto [him]… void, but it shall accomplish that which [God]… please[s], and it shall prosper in the thing whereto [God]… sent it…” (Isaiah 55:11 KJV). 

“…I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified (manifested, revealed) in the Son…” (John 14:13 NIV).

Because of WHO Jesus is as a person, his NAME, alone, has exalted POWER and AUTHORITY in ALL of earth and heaven. “… Jesus (the person) …spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth…” (Matthew 28:18 NASB).  And NOW Jesus has “…given such authority to men…” (Matthew 9:8 NASB). “… I have given you authority …” (Luke 10:19 NASB). Thus,“…You can ask for anything in my name (in my authority), and I will do it...” (John 14:12-14 NLT).

The POWER and AUTHORITY “is” in the NAME, but BACKED or empowered by the PERSON. “…I do nothing of myself…” (John 8:28 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

“…I will do whatever you ask in my name (with my power-of-attorney) …” (John 14:13 NIV). “…I will do it...” (John 14:12-14 NLT).

 “…I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified (manifested, revealed) in the Son (and NOW “IN” the BELIEVER…” (John 14:13 NIV). “…It is God which worketh IN YOU … to do …” (Philippians 2:13 KJV). “…the Father  … doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “… Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive …” (John 16:24 NASB).

“… so that the Father may be glorified (manifested, revealed) …” (John 14:13 NIV).
