Kingdom 104: His Name is All Authority and Power
The name of Jesus the Christ contains all power and authority. That is the name the Lord God gave His Son while He was here on earth. Those of us who have embraced the King, should always embrace His name. He knows those who are His own. “My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you. All who are mine belong to you, and you have given them to me, so they bring me glory. Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are. During my time here, I protected them by the power of the name you gave me. I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for destruction, as the Scriptures foretold." Even though the Lord Jesus was speaking to the Father on behalf of His disciples, it also applies to those who are citizens of the Kingdom up to this present day. He included us as well: “I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!
O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
The Lord Jesus and King was very clear that He has all authority. It was given to Him by His Father in heaven and earth. Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. All those who call on the name of God, you aren't following His command. The Lord Jesus sits at His "Father's right hand, interceding on our behalf"! In Jesus, His Son, God has given all of His authority and power. Why then, do religious leaders encourage people to call on the Lord God, His Father? I keep returning to the statement that the Lord God made to His representative Hosea. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. NKJV
When you honor the Lord Jesus, you honor the Father. In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge, so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent him. Did you catch that first part of that constitutional scripture? In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, He has given the Son absolute authority to judge... We will all have to answer to Him for our final destination. Keep in mind, the Lord God has life without Himself and has given His Son that same authority and power. “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.
And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when the dead will hear my voice—the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live. The Father has life in himself, and He has granted that same life-giving power to His Son. And He has given Him authority to judge everyone because He is the Son of Man." I live and operate by the power of the Lord Jesus the Christ. There is power in that name and that is the only name I call upon.
Therefore, God elevated Him to the place of highest honor
and gave Him the name above all other names,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Remember, your faith should be grounded in Him, and nothing else.
