What Does In The Name of Jesus Mean?
« on: November 26, 2009, 02:43:08 AM »
Luke 10:19
American Standard Version
"Behold, I have given you authority (My power of Attorney) to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise *hurt you."(*Greek:adikeo, basically; retaliate against you.

John 16:
23 “In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name (My power of Attorney), He will give it to you. 24 “Until now you have asked for nothing in My name(My power of Attorney); ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full."

John 14:12
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father."

Matthew 10:8
"Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give."


A Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document that enables the grantor (Principal) to designate another person or persons called the agent/agents or attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Principal, even in the event the individual becomes disabled or incapacitated.

When I managed my daughter's income property in Massachusetts and she lived in Florida, I had her power of Attorney in anything related to the property. I could sign her name and it was just as legal and binding as if she had signed it herself.
Howerver, the power of Attorney was limited to the property.

Jesus Christ has given us His unlimited power of Attorney until He returns. Let's know this truth and use it. He also has given us the Holy Spirit and many powerful Angel's to obey His/our commands.
So the next time you say "in Jesus Name" see yourself as Him because that's what He intended.
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy Word above all thy name.

Psalm 138:2 (KJV)

I agree with most of what you're saying here.  However, I've seen church movements (such as the name it claim it movement) get this out of whack.  They taught that one could use the power of attorney of Jesus' name without any restrictions of the sovereignty of God.

How would you balance this teaching so mistaken movements like this don't get it wrong?

Ah, My Precious Brother,  :12
The answer is really quite simple.
Hebrews 10:38
"The just shall live by faith."

However, it is the gift of faith, granted by the Holy Spirit, and also made alive by Him (1 Corithians 12:9)
that makes all the difference.

The "name it and claim it" bunch, in  the error of their ways have never had the divine revelation, they have used the written word with head knowledge, not the anointing of the Holy Spirit's  power. Plus they use it to glorify themselves and not the Lord God Almighty!
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy Word above all thy name.

Psalm 138:2 (KJV)

I have been married for 17 years, and I tend to look at one aspect of this. Sort of like my wife being able to use my name, she loves me and tries not to use my name for somthing I would not agree with. Jesus gives us athority to use His name out of love for us, BUT....... Only when it is used accroding to the Fathers will.

Peace to you all.
Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God is one LORD: and thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.  Deuteronomy 6:4-5

This is a very interesting discussion but I'm not sure I understand it.  It sounds like a bunch of legal advice.  What are you talking about?
