Jesus and His Name are One. His Name
can do anything He can do. It can do anything
He did while He was on the earth and bring to
pass anything He ever said.
I will always remember the fi rst time I laid
hands on someone in Jesus' Name. I was just
getting started in ministry. A 30-year-old
freshman at Oral Roberts University serving
as copilot on Brother Roberts' airplane, I
had traveled with him to one of his healing
meetings and been sent to help minister to the
people in the invalid tent.
They were the sickest people I'd ever seen!
All too ill or damaged to sit with the rest of the
congregation, they couldn't attend the main
meeting. So my job was to summarize the
main points of Brother Roberts' message for
them after he fi nished preaching. Then, once
they were prepared to receive ministry, the
plan was for him to come in and lay hands on
them.
That night, however, Brother Roberts didn't
stick with the plan. Instead, when he walked
into the tent, he grabbed me by the shoulder
of my coat and pulled me toward him. "You're
going to do the praying, and you're going to do
the laying on of hands," he told me.
Looking at him in astonishment, I felt the
2
Jesus' Name and God's
Name are synonymous,
because the heavenly
Father Himself called
Him "God."
(Heb. 1:8)
3
When you received
Jesus as LORD and
Savior, His Name
became yours.
(Eph. 3:14–15)
4
Your words count
in the court of
heaven because
you've been given
His Name.
(John 16:23)
5
While you're on
earth, Jesus'
Name provides
you with
protection.
(Prov. 18:10)
POINTS
TO GET
YOU
THERE:
1
Jesus inherited
the Name of God,
the Creator and
owner of
everything.
(Heb. 1:3–4)
Because it's God's
Name Jesus inherited,
the only way to measure
His Name is by measuring the
power, property and authority
of God Himself. God created
everything that exists.
