The Power of His Name
Notes
Transcript
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
32 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.
34 It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.
11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
"Whatever" is interpreted as "whatever is consistent with His character and mission" rather than unlimited material requests.
(I. The Verb)
aiteō = to ask for something to be given. Commonly used of an inferior addressing a superior.
17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
22 And he alone is the leader and source of everything needed in the church. God has put everything beneath the authority of Jesus Christ and has given him the highest rank above all others.
23 And now we, his church, are his body on the earth and that which fills him who is being filled by it!
He gave the Authority to speak His Name!
He gave the Authority to speak His Name!
All of Heaven stands behind that Name enforcing that authority!
All of Heaven stands behind that Name enforcing that authority!
6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
16 And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Even the unmovable must be moved
In response to the King of Glory
Even in that which there is no way
A way must be made for the Lord Almighty
Oceans part at His command
Mountains melt like wax before the Lord
In fact the whole earth, yes the great celestial titan
Trembles at the sound of His voice
All of humanity lives and moves and has its being
In Him and Him alone
All honour is His
Yes, even things that bring dishonour
To man must give honour to the Lord
All glory is His
Yes, even the highest of human hierarchy
Must lay down their crowns of glory before the Lord
All power is His
Yes, even the immutable force of death
Must submit its power to the Lord
He is the King of Glory
He is the Lord of Hosts
He is the Ancient of Days
He is the Great I Am
All authority, all dominion belongs to Him
And He alone has the power to move the unmovable
To break the unbreakable
To heal the incurable, to redeem the irredeemable
And to make light work of the impossible
Open up, ancient gates!
Open up, ancient doors
And let the King of Glory enter
Who is the King of Glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
The Lord, invincible in battle
Open up, ancient gates!
Open up, ancient doors
And let the King of Glory enter
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord of Heaven's armies
That is the King of Glory
