Day 9: Pray

One of the amazing truths that Jesus taught His last week on earth and before going to the cross is the power of His name, and the privilege for every single believer to use His name for freedom and victory.

Acts 10:38 says that the Holy Spirit anointed Jesus with power, and He did good, healing all who were oppressed by the devil. Jesus taught the truth that set people free, He healed disease, He cast out demons from people, He calmed the storm, and did so much when He was on this earth in a physical body. Before He went to die on a cross, rise again, and ascend to heaven, Jesus told His disciples that all who put their faith in Him for salvation will do what He did. In fact, every believer would be doing greater works (John 14:12). Jesus said that the greater works of teaching, preaching, healing, and doing the miraculous in people’s lives would be through His name. The promise of Jesus is that when you ask of God, and demand the devil leave, in the name of Jesus, it will be done.

Jesus is the King of kings. There is no one greater than Jesus. All power and authority are in Him. Philippians 2:9-11 says that every knee will one day bow before Him; whether the angels in heaven, every human being that has ever lived on earth, every demonic force, or the devil himself, for there is no name comparable to Jesus.

Proclaim the decree of freedom to yourself and to others, in the name of Jesus! You do not come in your own authority or with your own clever ideas to become free. When you pray to the Lord about what you need and the needs of others, you are agreeing with the eternal decree and promises of God! When you command the power of darkness to leave, command the body to be healed, tell fear and anxiety to take a hike, and destroy the works of the devil, you do so in the name of Jesus! Every other authority that is against you must submit and bow its knee, because you come and declare the truth, in the name of the King of kings, Jesus! Use the name of Jesus, and greater works will be done! Ask God anything that God says in His Word, and it will come to pass! As you pray in the name of Jesus, you will do good and heal all who are oppressed of the devil, for Jesus is with you.
