As christians, we need to realize,believe and understand the awesome power and authority that is in the name of Jesus. And that as christians, we have been given the authority to use the name of Jesus. The scriptures can explain this much better than I can.                           Phillippians 2:9-11," Therefore God also has highly exalted Him (Jesus) and given Him a name which is above every name. 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, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord." Hebrews 1:3-4," God the Father says of Jesus,"that He is the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person. And in verse 4 " that He (Jesus) having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." John15:16 "You did not choose Me, but I appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name He may give you."  Hebrews 13:8 tells us that Jesus Christ is the same yesturday, today, and forever. I believe that God is going to continue to reveal to His church the awesome power and authority that is in The Name of Jesus.         Now I want to show you the powerful impact that the Name of Jesus had on the early church in the book of Acts.  In The Name of Jesus continued study,pay special attention to the reaction of the jews and pharisees when the apostiles and early church performed many healings and meracles using the Name of Jesus.They were beaten, then commanded not to speak or teach in the Name of Jesus.
