Have confidence in the Name 1

“And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.” 
Acts 3:16(KJV)          

In our opening scripture today, we see Peter the apostle testifying concerning the healing of the lame man at the beautiful gate. He testified to those who were amazed by the miracle that was done. He made them know that it was through faith alone that has made the man strong and has given him perfect soundness.

Why is it important for every one of us to understand this? It is important because for some Christians, when they want to pray for others they want to do it by their own power and ability, in other words, their focus is usually on themselves and not on Jesus. So, they shout, they beg, they cry, so that God can be merciful and hear their prayer and heal.

The reason is because they have not come to understand and have faith in the power and authority that is in the Name of Jesus. I want you to settle this in your heart today that whenever you use the Name of Jesus every devil must obey, have such confidence and don't expect anything less irrespective of how long

you've been a Christian. You can get results in the Name of Jesus.

PRAYER
Dear Father I thank you for your love towards me. I also thank you for the assurance you have given to me in your Word that whatsoever I ask in the Name of Jesus you will do. Thank you Father for the abundant supplies of your grace and your benefits toward me today and always in Jesus Name. Amen.
