The Transformative Power of Jesus' Name
Summary
In this sermon, I emphasized the power and significance of the name of Jesus. I encouraged the congregation to speak the name of Jesus over every heart and mind, as there is peace within His presence. I highlighted that His name is power, healing, and life, and it can break every stronghold, shine through the shadows, and burn like a fire. I also spoke about the transformative power of Jesus, how His name can deliver from dark addictions, bring hope, freedom, and even healing to physical ailments.
In the second part of the sermon, I led the congregation in a spiritual exercise of imagination and faith. I asked them to visualize giving their burdens to Jesus and receiving a gift in return. I prophesied healing, particularly in the areas of spinal health and infertility. I declared that the curse of infertility was broken and prayed for bodies to function as they should. I ended the sermon by praying for the congregation to remember this moment and the work God has done in their lives.
