With All Boldness
by Kenneth Copeland
The Name of Jesus is the mightiest weapon God has put in our hands, as believers, and He’s given it to us because we have to have it. Without the power of that Name, we can’t do what we’re called to do even though we’ve been born again and baptized with the Holy Spirit.
Even though God “hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son,” we still live in a world that’s dominated by the devil. We still have to deal with an adversary who roams this earth, “as a roaring lion…seeking whom he may devour” (Colossians 1:13; 1 Peter 5:8).
He’s a defeated adversary, of course. Jesus thoroughly whipped him 2,000 years ago and won the victory for us for all time. But for us to walk in that victory, we have to enforce it. We have to keep the devil under our feet by using the powerful Name of Jesus—the Name above all names—against him and his works.
In Mark 16, Jesus told us what that Name can do. In what we call the Great Commission, He said: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.… 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” (verses 15, 17-18).
The authority of the Name of Jesus is of vital importance when it comes to advancing the kingdom of God. Faith in that Name is what empowers us to overturn the works of the kingdom of darkness. Brother Kenneth E. Hagin used to say, and I’ve proven it out over the years in my own life: “No faith in Jesus’ Name equals no results. A little faith in His Name equals little results. A lot of faith in His Name equals amazing results.”
