There is power in a name. Some names evoke memories, others carry authority, but there is only one Name that has the power to silence storms, defeat death, and bring the dead to life—the Name of Jesus.
Throughout Scripture, we see the incredible authority of Jesus' Name. When spoken, demons trembled (Luke 10:17), sickness vanished (Acts 3:6), and salvation became a reality (Acts 4:12). His Name is not just a title; it is a declaration of His character, His power, and His victory over sin and death.
The Name That Breaks Chains
In I Know A Name, we declare that when we call on Jesus, chains break and dry bones wake. This echoes Ezekiel 37, where God commands the prophet to speak to the valley of dry bones, and by His word, life is restored. The same is true for us today. Whatever feels lifeless—our faith, our joy, our hope—can come back to life in Jesus' Name.
Are there areas in your life where you feel bound or dry? Call on His Name. Philippians 2:9-11 reminds us that God has given Jesus the Name above every name, and at His Name, every knee will bow. That includes every fear, every struggle, and every stronghold.
The Name That Shakes Hell
When we sing, "The gates of hell shake every time I call Your Name," we are reminded of Jesus' promise in Matthew 16:18—"I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." The enemy has no power over a believer who stands firm in Jesus' Name. Whatever battle you face, know this: the darkness trembles when you speak His Name in faith.
The Name That Brings Resurrection
The bridge of the song proclaims, "Dead things come alive in the Name of Jesus." This isn't just poetic language—it's the heartbeat of the Gospel. Jesus didn't just defeat death for Himself; He did it for us. When He called Lazarus from the grave (John 11:43), life returned. And today, He is still calling dead things back to life—dreams, relationships, faith, and even our very souls.
Call on His Name Today
No matter where you are, no matter what you face, there is power when you call on Jesus.
If you need healing, call Him your Healer.
If you need freedom, call Him your Deliverer.
If you need strength, call Him your Sustainer.
The Name of Jesus isn't just something we say—it's who He is. He is alive, reigning in power, and when we speak His Name in faith, something shifts in the spiritual realm.
Today, take a moment to call on His Name. Whisper it in worship. Declare it in confidence. Shout it in victory. And watch as chains break, dry bones wake, and the very gates of hell shake in response.
Prayer
Jesus, Your Name is above every name. When I call on You, I know You hear me. Today, I bring You every burden, every fear, and every dead thing in my life, and I declare that You have the power to bring life and freedom. Strengthen my faith to trust in Your Name, and let me walk in the authority and victory that is mine through You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
