In His Name, By His Authority

This sermon explores the authority believers have been given to use the name of Jesus, treating it as a divine power of attorney backed by the full weight of Christ's finished work. The pastor walks through the theological foundation of praying in Jesus' name, explaining that everything needed for life, healing, deliverance, and provision has already been accomplished through Christ's sinless life, death, burial, and resurrection. The sermon emphasizes that faith is the mechanism by which believers take hold of what has already been secured in heaven and bring it to bear in earthly circumstances. Believers are called to speak the name of Jesus with confidence, understanding their position as those seated with Christ in heavenly places, and to persist in faith-filled confession until what has been promised is manifested.
