DO ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 3:17 KJV)

WHERE DID THE NAME JESUS COME FROM?

The name Jesus was brought to Joseph from heaven.

²⁰ But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

²¹ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

1. BAPTISM

Jesus said:

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (Matthew 28:19 KJV)

Thus was Jesus' commission but the question is, why did the Apostles baptise in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ?

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38 KJV)

Do we ever see the Apostles throughout the Bible praying or casting out demon in any other name apart from the name Lord Jesus Christ?

It it Satan's weapon to make to add or take away from the Word. If he can succeed in twisting the Word by making you believe that Father, Son and Holy Spirit is the name of God instead of The Lord Jesus Christ, he has achieved his aim of making you powerless. Do you know what? At the mention of the name, EVERY KNEE shall bow. Demons, disease, and the whole kingdom of Satan trembles when you mention that name with faith.

But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. (Acts 8:12 KJV)

For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. (Acts 8:16 KJV)

And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. (Acts 10:48 KJV)

When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. (Acts 19:5 KJV)

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? (Romans 6:3 KJV)

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (Galatians 3:27 KJV)

2. MIRACLES

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. (Acts 3:6 KJV)

By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. (Acts 4:30 KJV)

If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. (John 14:14 KJV)

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 16:17, 18 KJV)

3. PREACHING

And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. (Acts 9:29 KJV)

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. (Acts 4:18 KJV)

It has been the plan of the enemy to stop Christians from using the name of Jesus and it is still his strategy but this time, he has replaced the name with titles Father, Son and Holy Ghost and many Christians have ignorantly accepted it.

4. CASTING OUT DEMONS

And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. (Acts 16:18 KJV)

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-11 KJV)

Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. (Acts 21:13 KJV)

5. GATHERING

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, (1 Corinthians 5:4 KJV)

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)

6. GIVING THANKS

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; (Ephesians 5:20 KJV)

7. BELIEVE ON THE NAME

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. (1 John 3:23 KJV)
