UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES THROUGH THE NAME OF JESUS

Mark 10:26-27; John 16:23-24

 

The Lord wants to work a miracle of salvation, healing and deliverance in your life. “And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?  And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” (Mark 10:26). A man had asked the Lord a question and Jesus gave an answer he didn’t accept. The people were surprised and couldn’t believe what they were seeing. They thought it was impossible for man to be saved in all the ramifications of the word – being made whole and delivered. As the man went back from following the Lord, the disciples were surprised. Only Jesus could give the right answer to the question asked by the disciples. Jesus recognized the impossibilities and limitations of man, in the experts and psychologists of the world. It is impossible to be saved with man’s effort. However, with God, all things are possible – including salvation. The possibilities in God are not limited to geography or race, they are unlimited. “ And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” (John 16:23). Whatever we ask in His name will be granted. Whatsoever the needs are, personal or otherwise, are provided for in the name of Jesus.

 

1.          PRESENT SALVATION IN THE POWERFUL NAME OF JESUS  Matthew 1:21; Luke 7:37-38,47-50; Acts 4:12

 

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21). Jesus was a Son, not like Adam, Abel or any other person who lived. He was Unique and Universal for everyone that would be born into the world. Jesus means Jehovah saves. He has brought salvation and all the provision of heaven to mankind. Since Adam and Eve, sin came into the world and it has been everywhere just as the air we breathe is everywhere in the world. As the air is universal, so sin, transgression, evil and corruption are universal. Many people try to control the world but they’ve all failed as they could not control the universality of sin. When God created us, He desired for us to get to heaven, but our corruption and transgression would hinder us from getting there. God wanted people from everywhere to get to heaven but the universal sin plagued us all, so God had to offer a universal salvation by sending Jesus His Perfect, Spotless, Sinless Son to come to earth to bear our sin and take away our iniquities. When He saves us from sin, we do not remain in sin. A drowning man is only saved when he is out of the water and the dirty water he has swallowed is flushed out of him. The corruption of sin is likened to a well of dirty water which all of us have been at some point in our lives. God has sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to draw us out of the well and purge us of all the corruption and defilement we had swallowed in the well. If Jesus doesn’t save you, do you have an alternative? Unfortunately, there is no alternative, because every man on earth is affected by sin, and one sinner cannot save another sinner. There is no other name, and no other saviour, other than Jesus Christ. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12). Every nation is under the sky and there is no name in any nation that can save us. Thank God, Jesus is able to save you because He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

2.          POWERFUL DELIVERANCE IN THE PREVAILING NAME OF JESUS  Joel 2:32; Colossians 1:13-14; Hebrews 2:14-15

 

The name of Jesus prevails like no other name. As people come into this world, death prevails on everyone except Jesus, who died and rose again on the third day, and is alive forevermore. Death did not prevail over Him but death prevailed on all the great men and women we’ve read about in history. These great men were historians, philosophers and sages but death prevailed on them all. Sin could not prevail on Jesus and death could not prevail on Him. That is why He has the power to deliver every man. Also, the Devil prevailed over everyone because no man is a match to the Devil but Jesus prevailed over him. Disease could not prevail on Jesus that’s why He went about healing all diseases. Everyone that has tried to help you could not deliver you but as you come to Jesus, you will experience powerful deliverance. “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:1314). Jesus, the Only Saviour and Deliverer delivers us from the power of darkness and does not send us back to where we came from, He translates us from the jurisdiction of the power of darkness into His kingdom. He forgives us and takes away the remembrance of our sins and takes the guilt, condemnation and the fear of future judgment away. Christ’s peculiarity is that He saves, forgives and goes about with you. He gives you pardon for your sin and power over your sin. Also, He delivers you from all the afflictions and oppression of the devil.

 

3.          PLEDGED RESTORATION BY THE PRIESTLY NAME OF JESUS  Psalm 51:7-13; Jeremiah 30:17,22; Acts 3:19-21,26

 

Christ has pledged, promised and provided the restoration of fellowship that Adam lost when he sinned and hid himself from God. By the stripes of Christ, we now have eternal life and health restored to us. We have restoration to what Adam, Cain, the people at the flood of Noah and Saul the king of Israel could not be restored to. He died and rose again to seal the pledge of His restoration by His resurrection. “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.” (Psalm 51:12). We have the victory and triumph in salvation as we call upon Him. Turn the switch of the name of Jesus and the light of God will shine upon your life and drive away all darkness and sickness.
