King of kings book - Chapter 6 - Power and Authority in the Name of Jesus

 




CHAPTER 6

 Power and Authority
in the Name of Jesus

The Name of Jesus is the most Powerful Name in Heaven and on earth.

 

Jesus’ Name contains all authority over every living creature.

 

Philippians 2:9-11 says, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name: that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

 

The Name of Jesus has all authority over every sickness and disease, and over every demonic force of wickedness in high places.

 

Luke 9:1-2 says, “Then he called His twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.”

 

Not only did Jesus confer authority to His disciples, but He has given all believers authority to heal the sick and cast out devils. Notice that Mark 16:17 tells us that specific signs shall follow “those that believe.

 

Mark 16:17-18 states, “And these signs shall follow them that believe: In My Name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 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.”
