THE NAME IN DAILY CONFLICT

IN THIS Name lies the very essence of Christianity; it is the one thing which differentiates it from all other religions. It is the one Name that challenges an adjective to qualify it.

While here in the flesh, Jesus was the all-powerful One; God always heard His prayers and permitted Him to use Omnipotence as He willed. Before He went away, He promised that this same Right to use the Omnipotence of God should be left on earth, available to man.

He told the disciples not to leave Jerusalem until they were endued or clothed with power from on high. The Holy Spirit was to come into them and enable them to use His Name in the will of God, so that it would be as though Christ were again in the flesh exercising this Divine power, only in a larger sense, because there will be so many using His Name.

Filled with the Spirit, they preached in this Name with awful power.
The sick were healed, demons were cast out, and the dead were raised; in this Name, a serpent’s bite became the means of the inhabitants of a whole island receiving Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

In this Name came the Gift of Tongues which enabled all nations on the Day of Pentecost to hear the glad tidings of the remission of sins.
