What’s In A Name?

I’ve got a friend that recently found out that she has a tumor in her lung, so my wife and I went over to their house to pray for her. I asked another friend of mine named Chuck to come with us because he’s a really good guy & someone that I would call a “prayer warrior”. He’s helped us out a couple of times so I knew he would really help my friend too. We chatted a little bit and then Chuck asked, “so, what did the doctors say?” She said, “ he called it Hodgkin’s lymphoma or something like that, I don’t remember the name”. What he said next was so simple but very powerful. He said “yeah, it’s some name, but there’s a name above all other names” and I thought wow, that is so true. There is a name that is greater than any name. JESUS, the Son, the Redeemer, the Advocate, the Savior, the Healer, the Friend, the Light and where there is light, there is no darkness. Well, a day later I got some revelation. After God created Adam, one of the jobs God gave him was to name all of the animals. The last time I checked, we have dominion over all animals right? So, if we have dominion over the things we name, then we should name the things we are going through. Whether it’s a disease, financial burdens, emotions or anything else, we should name it and place it under the name above all other names, JESUS.

Philippians 2:10

10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

  1. This is one of my favorite pictures. When I took Astronomy, they kept talking about all the evolution stuff…how stars form, the nuclear process, etc., and I just kept thinking…”It’s TOO PERFECT to have just HAPPENED!”

    Takes so much more faith to believe that the universe evolved from a big bang.

    My faith was strengthened when I took that class!
