You don't want to miss this.

River of Life Christian Church ︳www.rolcc.net/english Acts 19:13-18 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, "In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out." Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. One day the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?" Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor. Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds. The name of Jesus has great power and authority. Even when others fake the use of his name, they immediately were attacked. This shows that Jesus' name is held in high esteem. Those of us in the church often take for granted the importance of the Lord's name. "In Jesus name" has become only an end to our prayers. However, the Lord's name is very valuable, and when we pray to God in the name of Jesus, we need to have real confidence that God can bring about healing and the forgiveness of sin. When we pray in the name of Jesus, we can turn people's hearts toward God and bring about a spirit of unity. The Lord's name is very important. Each time when we pray in Jesus name, we can bring about results and power. Secondly, we need to believe in God's authority. Since Jesus commanded us to pray in His name, we know that God will hear our prayers when we pray in Jesus name. Pray that God will help us not to be deceived by the enemy. Oftentimes when we minister, the enemy can easily deceive us. However, the truth is, God has given us the authority, when we come before God and pray in the name of Jesus, God will certainly hear us. How important the name of the Lord! The Bible reveals God's name to be "Jehovah Jireh". meaning He is our Provider; "Jehovah Shalom" that God is our Peace; "Jehovah Rapha," that God is our Healer; "Jehovah Nissi", that God is our victorious banner; "Lord, Rohi," that God is our Shepherd; "Jehovah Shammah," that God is always present, and we will live in Christ forever. Each name of God is a promise, we need to come before Him in faith, then pray and exercise our faith. Pray with Pastor Tong Lord, we thank you because you have given us your name. Help us in our everyday life to know how to correctly use your name, that we may win the spiritual battles by your name. We thank you and we pray in the victorious name of Jesus, Amen!
