The Supremacy and Power of Jesus' Name
Summary
### Summary
Today's message focused on the supremacy and power of the name of Jesus. We began by reflecting on the lyrics of a song that declares Jesus' name as the highest and greatest, standing above all other names. This led us to consider the various challenges we face—whether sickness, financial issues, or other struggles—and how the name of Jesus is greater than any of these. Philippians tells us that God has given Jesus a name above every name, and at His name, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord.
We were encouraged to speak the name of Jesus over our situations, believing that God is turning things around for our good. We were reminded that God has given us the authority to use Jesus' name to speak against the challenges we face. This is a call to active faith, where we prophesy and proclaim God's word over our lives, trusting in His supreme authority.
The sermon also emphasized the importance of prayer and lifting holy hands without doubting. We were urged to honor God, recognizing His presence and worthiness of our highest praise. The highest praise, "Hallelujah," is reserved for Him alone.
We also discussed the importance of not fretting or being envious of others. Proverbs 14:29 teaches us that those who are slow to anger have great understanding, while those quick to anger exalt folly. We were encouraged to listen on three levels: to the person speaking, to what the Holy Spirit is saying through them, and to how the Holy Spirit wants us to respond.
Finally, we were reminded that God has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him. This knowledge comes through spending time in His word and praying in the Holy Spirit. We were encouraged to seek revelation knowledge and to trust that God has already provided for all our needs.
