Name the Name

Toward the end of my prayer time this morning, the Holy Spirit spoke 4 words to me with such clarity and fire that I can’t keep them shut in my bones. They are not new but they cannot get old. They are the 4 most well-known words in our Christian vocabulary but they never wear out. These 4 words possess an authority that can speak worlds into orbit, make floors of seas, and send devils off cliffs.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Let these 4 words resound in your mind, leap from your mouth, and strengthen your step this day. His is the Name that shakes the earth beneath His feet with authority, salvation, affection, and anointing. His is the Name that snaps the chains. His is the one Name that cannot be etched in gravestone. This Name reverberates with everlasting life and extraordinary unction.

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation…He is before all things and in Him all things hold together…He is the head of the Body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent.”

Preeminent.

In everything.

He is THE beginning. And our new beginning. Our defeat ends with the full conviction of the incomparable Name of Jesus in our bones. Our lack is filled. Our souls are thrilled. Our knees are bowed. Our chins are raised.

We put no confidence in our flesh. We unleash every ounce of confidence we possess toward one game-changing, life-rearranging Name: The Lord Jesus Christ.

THE. There is no other.

LORD. Everything must submit.

JESUS. Yahweh is Salvation.

CHRIST. Messiah, the Anointed One.

Those who want to participate have a 3-part assignment:

1. Write out any ONE verse in the Bible that uses the name of Jesus. His name appears in most of your formal translations around 1000 times so you are wide open. Hunt His Name down. Grab your Bible concordance or get on a website like Bible Gateway and do a word search. You are welcome to use any translation. Choose one verse, write it out in your comment along with where it is found and which translation you used.

 

2. If you have the full conviction and earnest desire to do so, write the italicized sentence below in the second part of your comment and complete the exercise with your own specifics. This is not an exercise in magic words. This is a profession of faith in a matchless Name. We have a Savior. There is no god like our God. No other Rock I know. He cannot be defeated. His power cannot be depleted. Call out His Name over every single thing that is trying to exalt itself in your imagination over the knowledge of Christ. At His Name, let’s BOW.

I submit myself and the following challenges in my life to the unconquerable authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, confessing His powerful Name, and acknowledging His absolute preeminence in all these things:

 

3. Keep confessing the power of His Name and of His Person in the coming days and every time you get that old angst, deliberately swap it for thanks. He who calls you is faithful. He will surely do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:24

    Dear Beth, I just woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I was going to lose it. I recently started a new job, and life has been intensely stressful. I’ve been teaching Colossians, and I was just praying, “Jesus, do you really hold it all together? Promise me you do.” I couldn’t go to sleep, so I came downstairs. The first thing I read was this post, a most beautiful “Yes” from the Lord that I only need to worship his name, and he will do the holding.

    Thank God for using your words that have ministered to a tired Montana woman in the middle of the night.

    Acts 4: 11, 12 (NIV)
    11 Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

    I submit myself and the following challenges in my life to the unconquerable authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, confessing His powerful Name, and acknowledging His absolute preeminence in all these things: to mend broken relationships, to shepherd my children when I cannot, to keep me strong in times of trial and to remind me to rejoice always, and to seek His face in every circumstance.
    I give all praise and honor to your Name , O Lord Jesus Christ. Great is thy faithfulness

    And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: (Eph 2:6 [You know I wanted to put 4 – 7, but you said one verse] KJV)

    I submit myself and the following challenges in my life to the unconquerable authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, confessing His powerful Name, and acknowledging His absolute preeminence in all these things:

    My Complete trust that you have my best at heart no matter what.
    My Future
    My Marriage
    My Adult Children
    My Finances
    My Life

    THANK YOU Beth! I so needed this today. Never met you, but love you with all my heart.

    Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed.” Immediately he got up. Acts 9:34

    I submit myself and the following challenges in my life to the unconquerable authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, confessing His powerful Name, and acknowledging His absolute preeminence in all these things: my struggle with self-discipline, my calling, the feeling of ‘waiting for the other shoe to drop,’ and my faith.

    1. I Corinthians 1:3 – Amplified Bible
    Grace (favor and spiritual blessing) be to you and [heart] peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    2. I submit myself and the following challenges in my life to the unconquerable authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, confessing His powerful Name, and acknowledging His absolute preeminence in all these things: procrastination, fear, criticism, busyness, and a tongue that needs to cease moving so much.

    3. Yes and Amen, do it LORD JESUS CHRIST

    And I dearly love that Beth used the word “angst.” It’s a great word.

    I sure love y’all!
