Above Every Name

Ephesians 1:21  Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

This great power that is wrought in Christ and now available to us as a result of His intercessory ministry in Heaven is perfected in that name that's Above Every Name! Now that Christ is at the right hand of the throne, there is an exceeding greatness of power. This power is far above all principality. The word principality is similar to the idea of jurisdiction. Jurisdiction is the official power to make legal decisions and judgments in a geographical area. A prince has power over a certain locality. Jesus Christ's power, legal right and authority is far above any other official designation of power. Quite simply Jesus Christ is the Sovereign King of kings and Lord of lords! The name of Jesus Christ is more powerful and mightier than any other name not only in this world, but also in that which is to come!  The name of Jesus Christ has far more dominion or authority than any other person, prince, demon or creature. Yes even the evil princes of this word are under His dominion. Luke 10:17  And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. The demons have to listen and obey the name of Jesus!  Acts 16:18  And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.  The name of Jesus has all power! It is a name Above Every Name because God has exalted it as such!  Philippians 2:9-11  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  My dear friend be encouraged! He who has ALL power, dominion and authority is making intercession for you in Heaven. Amen!! As a believer you understand that it's only through His name we can have eternal life. Acts 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. We understand this, but we often forget that it is through that same name that we get everything we need. Our satisfaction comes from the name Above Every Name. Colossians 2:10  And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:  We are complete. matured, perfected and satisfied in that precious name! Jesus what a mighty name! Jesus is the most wonderful name I know. Trust in Him today and lean on that everlasting name!
