Philippians 2:9-11
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Some people described the salvation of Jesus with the English alphabet V. Jesus was supposed to be equal with God as He sat on the throne in heaven, but because of God's love He was willing to humble Himself and take on the form of man in the world, and was nailed on the cross for the sin of people. He was even separated from God, which was the lowest point of His life. Because He is the savior without sin, death could not imprison Him and sin cannot bind Him. On the third day, God resurrected Jesus from death, which manifested that Jesus is the Son of God with mighty power. Jesus was humbled and then rose high, which formed a V shape. V stands for victory, representing the gospel the Jesus brought us is the gospel of victory.
After Jesus resurrected from death, God gave Him a name of every name. Name represents authority, and God has given all authority to Jesus so that we can together enjoy the authority for victory in Him. Christ in you is not weak, for 2 Corinthians 13:3 says that "He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you." As soon as we accept Jesus as our savior, we've also accepted the life that resurrected from death. This life is moving in our hearts, and it can overcome sin, disease and all authorities of darkness.
As long as you exalt Jesus in the circumstance in your life, and let your hearts bow before Him and declare He is the Lord, Spirit of the Lord will deliver you. Are you in the bondage of disease? Just proclaim the name of the Lord that the resurrected life of Jesus will move inside you to remove death and bring life. Are you finding no way out in the circumstance of suffering? Just proclaim the name of the Lord that the resurrected life of Jesus will open a door for you. He is the resurrected savior, He is the reason we observe the Lord 's Day and we can always rejoice. Do you rejoice when you come before the Lord? You should, because the Lord has already accomplished great things for us!
Pray with Pastor Tong
Lord, I thank you, because not only did you die on the cross for me, you also resurrected from death, and also manifested to us that you are the Son of God with your mighty power. May you remove all the darkness and illness inside us, and place the joy in Christ back into my life. I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, amen!
