JESUS, the NAME ABOVE EVERY NAME 4/23/23 susan allen Phil 2:9-nkjv  Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.   satan is not God’s opposite equal. Lucifer was an angel, NOT A GOD An angel created by God for GOD, who rebelled.   Luke 10:17-kjv 17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Jesus didn’t DEFEAT the devil for GOD, He defeated the devil for mankind AS A MAN We will not do as Adam and bow our knee to the destroyer WHERE WE allow NEGATIVITY and entertain thoughts of defeat, WE have BOWED to a LIE Jesus gave us HIS NAME to remove the works of the devil/enemy From not only our lives but the lives of others   WE ARE HIS BODY  (I cor 12:27) IT IS NOT LONGER US WHO LIVE BUT CHRIST LIVES IN US (Gal 2:20)                     Mark 16:17 nkjv  In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;  18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." John 14:12-niv I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.   DOING in HIS NAME, IS DOING what HE WOULD DO and doing THAT in HIS NAME   John 15:14-niv 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit — fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17 This is my command: Love each other.   John 16:23 niv 23 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. 25 "Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.   DO NOT USE IT VAIN.
