What’s in a Name?

Do you realize how special a name is? Do you know that it is prophetic and speaks things that be not as though they are? Do you know that a name holds great authority?

The fact that you have a name signifies your existence and importance. What that name means continues to shape who you are and become as your name is called over and over again each day. This is why I was very careful in naming my little man. I listened to God as he guided me to the name that HE had for Wyatt (meaning strong in war). As Wyatt grows, I will continuously be prophesying his strength in the battles he will face and I will raise him to know the strength of his God who he can gain his strength from.

Jesus’ name has the ultimate authority because of what He did when He conquered death, hell and the grave (meaning the Lord IS salvation).

We sign our name to things (as we become adults) and it holds authority. Certain things can only be done if certain people sign to them. A credit card or drivers license is only valid if signed. This is because of the authority your name carries. However, your authority is limited, especially in the spiritual. Jesus’ authority is supreme in all. He said when He left this earth that He was giving US the authority to do things by HIS name, to do things according to His will by His name.

Do you realize YOU now hold the key to everything and have all of the power needed in the authority of Jesus’ name that you have access to?

Wow! Let’s quit living defeated lives and start standing in the authority of the name given to us to be used for the glory of God and to accomplish His will in this earth! We have the power to do whatever it takes in Jesus’ name!
