Rhapsody of Realities 3 December 2024: Declare What You Want in His Name
Scripture: Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues
There’s a difference between calling on the Name of Jesus and making a demand in His Name. It’s crucial to understand this distinction. Consider Romans 10:13; it says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Sinners can call upon His Name for salvation, but as Christians, we use His Name; we exercise dominion in His Name.
Using His Name isn’t about calling out to Him as if you’re still a sinner seeking salvation. Now that you’re born again, you belong to the household of God. The Name of Jesus is now named upon you and given to you to live by. You don’t need to call upon Him anymore for anything; rather, you use His Name with authority to create anything or effect the changes you desire.
Notice in our opening verse that He didn’t say, “Call upon my name and I’ll cast the devils out and heal the sick”; no! Rather, you’re to use His Name to cast out devils, heal the sick, cleanse lepers, and raise the dead. His Name is an instrument; use it! In John 14:13-14 He said, “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do…If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.”
What a bold statement! That means you can demand anything in His Name and it’ll happen. For example, if you were in a distressing situation, instead of calling “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!” out of desperation or panic, declare what you want in His Name. Speak with the authority He’s given you. You say, “In the Name of Jesus, I demand healing,” or “In the Name of Jesus, you devil of darkness, I command you to lose your grip and get out!”

Always remember that you’re in charge and in control because you function in the Name of Jesus. Everything in life, physical and spiritual, including governments, thrones, the galaxies, principalities and powers, are all subject to the Name of Jesus. Declare what you want in His Name with confidence, and you’ll have a testimony. Glory be to God!
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for the power and authority you’ve granted us to use the Name of Jesus. I walk in this authority and exercise dominion over circumstances and situations. I speak healing, peace and prosperity in His Name, and I thank you for the confidence and assurance that come with using the Name of Jesus to effect a change and bring your will to pass. Amen.

11 And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

And His name, through and by faith in His name, has made this man whom you see and recognize well and strong. [Yes] the faith which is through and by Him [Jesus] has given the man this perfect soundness [of body] before all of you.
John 16:23
And when that time comes, you will ask nothing of Me [you will need to ask Me no questions]. I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that My Father will grant you whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I Am].
