It's All In The Name of Jesus!
God highly exalted Him,and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name.(Phil.2:9) That name is JESUS. We need to pay very close attention to the name of Jesus. The name Jesus is used more than 600 times in the Gospels. In the old testament the equivalent to Jesus was Joshua, which means Jehovah/Yahweh-God With Us.
The bible tells us many things we can do: In Jesus Name.

The Word holds this name in high regard because of the price God's Son paid to bring about our salvation. At the name of Jesus, one day every person will bow and every tongue confess Jesus as Lord(Phil. 2 :10-11)
When we ask in Jesus name we identify with Christ's will. When we use the name Jesus it brings Him into our circumstance, He sees what we see, and feels what we feel,knowing what we know.
