Acts 3 - The Name of Jesus
What Caused The Caused The Early Church To Grow So Rapidly?
There are several keys:
- The Word of God.
- The Holy Spirit.
- The Name of Jesus.
Today We Will Look At The Name Of Jesus
- The name of Jesus has been one of the most misunderstood truths in the church.
- The name of Jesus is one of the most powerful revelations we have to defeat evil in the world, to heal the sick, to drive out devils and to set the captives free.
The Name of Jesus
- Is the key to a powerful prayer life. Whatever we bind on earth is bound in Heaven and whatever we loose on earth is loosed in Heaven as we use the name of Jesus in exercising our authority.
- Is the key in overcoming principalities and powers and all the power of the devil.
- Is the key to seeing miracles and healing.
Peter & John
- Were going the temple at the hour of prayer.
- A man lame from his mother’s womb was laid daily at the gate of the temple. The name of the gate was “Beautiful”.
- He would ask for alms from the people who were going to the temple.
- He saw Peter and John going to the temple and so he asked them for alms.
- Peter told him to look at us.
Principles To Miracles
- Expectation: He expected to get something from Peter & John.
- Knowing what we have.
- The name of Jesus.
- Action.
The Key Was What Peter Did Have:
- “Silver & gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you; In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
- And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them walking, leaping and praising God.
- And all the people saw him walking and praising God.
Then They Knew it was he who sat begging alms at the gate Beautiful of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what happened to him.
The Name
- Matthew 1:21 The greatest name ever given. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.
- Matthew 18:20 Gathering together in the Name of Jesus brings His presence into that gathering. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.
- Mark 16:17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
The Name
- The name of Jesus has power over evil, demons, sin and sickness. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
- The name of Jesus is the key to being born again.
- The name of Jesus gives us the power of attorney. John 14:13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
The Name
The Key to the father sending the Holy Spirit is the name of Jesus. John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
Peter takes advantage of the situation and preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
