Law of Identification
He has conquered death, hell, and the grave. He has risen from the conquest of our enemies a Victor. We were identified with Him in that conquest.
We died with Him, we suffered with Him, and when He put off from Himself the principalities and powers, and conquered Satan, paralyzing his death-dealing power, we were identified with Him. When He rose from among the dead and stood triumphant over death, hell, Satan and disease, and the grave, we stood with Him.
Now, He gives to us the use of the Name that was conferred upon Him when He had accomplished this mighty work in satisfying the claims of justice, defeating Satan, and meeting the needs of humanity.
He gives to us that Name which is above every Name – the Name to which every knee shall bow and every tongue confess in the three worlds. In His great grace, He gave us the use of that Name: He gave us a legal right to use it. He died as our representative: now we live as His representatives.
That Name represents all that He was or is, all that He ever did or will do. When, by a thorough understanding of this, we have been ushered into this faith realm, and we use that Dame intelligently, all that Name means in heaven, it will mean to us.
He has put absolutely no limitation upon our use of that Name. The only question is: “Do I understand what God means in giving me the use of that Name?” We are not to use it as the heathen use their fetishes, but we are to use it in a business sense, the legal sense of power of attorney.
We use His Name representatively. The sick and afflicted come to us, and the healing virtue that is in Christ – that is in His finished work, is available to the sick one in that Name.
Then it is not healing through Christ; – that Name becomes Christ, the healer.
