Thoughts for Life: There's Power in His Name

David Hathaway shares with us that "Israel made a terrible mistake.

Two thousand years ago, all Israel was waiting for Messiah.

But He came as a baby, He lived with them, He suffered, He died.

The were looking for a King!

Even the disciples, after the resurrection, asked Jesus, "Is this the time You will get rid of the Romans and restore again the Kingdom to Israel?"

Israel was not looking for the suffering Savior, they were looking for the King!

One greater than David! — He will not die! He will bring freedom!

But the Hebrew name for Jesus, Yeshua, Joshua, MEANS "God saves" — Deliverance! "Jesus" is the Greek name.

Isaiah, all the prophets, spoke about Joshua, Yeshua.

Deliverance coming! And what did the angel say to Mary, to Joseph? — "You shall call Him Yeshua, Jesus, because He will save His people" —Luke 1:31; Matt. 1:21.

I cannot say this strongly enough —Vietnam, Germany, Britain, all nations everywhere — Jesus IS Salvation!

His very Name IS the Gospel! And the Bible says, God has put all power in His Name!

His Name is the power of God! The power to deliver every one of us! Your deliverance!

In trouble, what do you do? — You call on the Name! If you are sick — it's the Name, Jesus. Deliverance!

If you are dying — it's the Name, Jesus!
Deliverance. Salvation!

His Name — it's your prayer, it's your cry!

If you are lying in the road because you have been knocked down, don't cry help, cry Jesus!

When you are in a hospital — Jesus!

If you have financial problems — Jesus!

A problem in your business — Jesus!

Whatever the problem — there is no other Name!

The difference between you and other people — it's the Name! Jesus!

How precious, how powerful that Name is!"

Let’s pray:

Father, it is our desire to understand the power in Jesus' Name, as we know everything depends on it.

May our thoughts be directed to You each time we have a need, to sense Your interest and love.

Help us realize that You want to help us, but wait for us to ask for help, as You're the Perfect Gentleman/Father.

We do ask now for guidance in learning to call on the Name of Jesus daily, and when there's some difficulty to face.

In His Name we pray, Amen.

Today’s Bible verses: Ps. 130:1 "Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD."

Ps. 95:22 "But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge."

Phil 2:9-11 "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."

Today’s quote: Mary Carothers – “When we thank and praise God in the trials of life we are opening ourselves to Him. We are saying that even though we don’t like what is going on, we are trusting His love and wisdom for us. We gradually come to realize that we are given these opportunities to look to Him, to focus on Him. We can walk in victory in Christ –not us.”

Some thoughts today: Your presence in your local church Body is a blessing. Go to church expecting to be a blessing. Be ready to share what the Lord's doing in your life, or someone you know, as that will bless others, and tends to build faith in God.

- We get the privilege to work with God.

- When someone gives a prophecy, it is to edify the person and those who hear it.
