How frequently do we Christians reflexively end our prayers with “in the name of Jesus”? We recite it after every prayer, whether we are blessing our food or imploring God to save the life of a dying person. We even often call out his name on impulse, out of fear, needing him to come to our rescue, or while we are expressing excitement. But do we really know the full power the name of Jesus wields?
The name of Jesus goes beyond blessing your meals and expressing excitement. Believers who know how to use the name of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, cannot remain at the mercy of sickness and disease. Many promises, blessings, and powers accompany the name of God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
“The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe”
Proverbs 18:10

Calling on the name of the Lord in times of trouble provides safety and security. God cannot abandon those who call on Him in faith. As people’s names carry power, so do some places and things. However, all these names, places, and things bow at the mention of the name of Jesus Christ. His name subdues all other names. Every knee and problem bows at the mention of the name of Jesus Christ. No name or person under heaven or earth can challenge the name of Jesus Christ. In fact, every tongue confesses that Christ is the Lord of lords and King of kings.
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”
Philippians 2:9-11
There once was a man who was lame from his mother’s womb. He was carried to the gate of the temple on a daily basis to beg. The devil limited him greatly. The day he saw Peter and John entering the temple, he asked for arms. He was so fortunate to meet people who had something better than money. That day, when the name of Christ was mentioned, his lame legs that had lasted for forty years healed at that instant.

The power of the name of Jesus entered into the joints of the lame man and lifted him up! He started using his legs immediately because his feet and ankles received strength, and he started walking and entered into the temple he had not entered since he was crippled. When you understand the efficacy and power of the name of Jesus Christ, you will discover that the name of Jesus is worth more than silver and gold.
With the name of Jesus Christ, you can walk into any office or nation. You can walk your health out of the captivity of the devil and you can equally walk yourself out of a hospital bed with the name of Jesus. His name is that powerful!
“Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation”
Psalms 91:14-16

Therefore, if you know how to mention the name of Christ in faith, you can command sickness, diseases, and infirmities out of your life. You can walk your family and business into the international community and every other good place on earth. Cancer, ulcers, poverty, failures, and all other illnesses and diseases can be removed from your life at your command.
I have searched the Scriptures and have discovered that God is not pleased when His children are ill. He has instead promised you good health and a sound mind. No part of your body is permitted to be barren or lack anything that promotes sound health, abundant life and peace. It is rather painful to die in sickness or remain in trouble while the name of Jesus is waiting for you to invoke it to get your healing and deliverance.
Healing is God’s mercy in action for His people. The power in the name of Jesus is waiting to be invited into your body to deal with sicknesses and diseases that exist in your life. So do not be afraid to ask God to heal you. As a Christian, you have the power to destroy every sickness and problem. Use that name today.
