| Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied “This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. “Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.” |
| (1 Samuel 17:45-47) |
David came before the giant Goliath in the authority and power of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was through the name of the Lord that gave David the power to defeat the giant Goliath. You have been given far greater authority and power as a New Testament Spirit-filled born-again believer speaking forth in faith the name of Jesus!
| 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.” And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them; walking, leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God. |
| (Acts 3:6-9) |
You can choose to live on this earth in your own intellect, power, and authority or live in and through the authority and power of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:19 states, “and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.” In these last days as the power of darkness grows more and more every day all around us in the natural realm. The power of God Almighty will be far greater for every Christian who believes and lives in and through the power and the authority of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
| Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, |
| (Ephesians 3:20) |
| You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. |
| (1 John 4:4) |
| Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. |
| (Ephesians 6:10) |
| For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world; our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? |
| (1 John 5:4,5) |
| You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. |
| (1 John 4:4) |
