” Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength….And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.”
Acts 3:6-7,16
I was preaching on this portion in a certain village where God had done great miracles through my hands , I told the people that the name of Jesus would work for anyone who believed ; so I asked if there was anybody who believed the name of Jesus would enable him to work miracles just like it enabled me. A man of about 40 years of age stood up and said he believed what I had preached, and he was ready to heal the sick in the name of Jesus Christ. I lined all the sick and told the man to rebuke sicknesses and command healing in the name of Jesus. The congregation laughed possibly because they thought this man was just overzealous but to their surprise the first lady who came for healing immediately testified that she was instantly healed, a tumour disappeared instantly and arthritis was also instantly healed. People fell under the power as this man who had been born again in my meeting began to use the name of Jesus. I didn’t give this man anything, I just told him to act on what was already in the bible, and he believed the word I spoke was the word of God, and he acted, and results came.
I have talked to dead electronic gadgets in the name of Jesus, and they received life and began to work. I remember when I was a teenager, I saw some pimples develop on my face, I rebuked them, and they vanished instantly. These seemingly small testimonies encouraged me for greater tests. Peter and John used the name of Jesus in the same manner you and me can use it. Develop a strong conviction that the name of Jesus can break down evil powers and then make use of this name. The gospel is for practical living not just reading, the name of Jesus is not for Pastors and Prophets only, it’s a name given to all who believe and in that name they can exercise rulership over all things. Speaking in the name of Jesus means you speak as though Jesus was speaking, so demons of darkness will respect you just like they respect Jesus. It’s as simple as that. You just command the pain to die and pass out of your body in the name of Jesus Christ.
Remember, his name is mightier than weapons of war. Some mighty vicious dogs came to attack me just this week, I took no step turned to them and rebuked them in the name of Jesus, and they went back running from me in perfect obedience. I say it again, The name of Jesus is for practical use not just reading, daily we meet situations that demand to be controlled by supernatural power, use the name of Jesus and tame that husband, rebuke drunkardness , use the name of Jesus and shape your marriage, job or academics , issue decrees in his name and expect them to come to pass. The name of Jesus is for all who believe.
