God lives and works today.
Who experiences his reality the most?
He who often calls upon the name of
Jesus in prayer.
Such people have experienced his reality through the
centuries, to their great joy.
If you too long for God to be
more than just a concept in your life,
listen to today's meditation by Basilia Schlenk called
The Power of the Name of Jesus.
Jesus Christ, the victor's name, every knee shall
bend before you.
Seated on the heavenly throne, all creation shall
adore you.
For your name such power wields, only triumph
victory yields.
Has someone ever given you a good suggestion
about how to take advantage of an opportunity,
and then said, but don't say that I
told you, don't mention my name.
Our Lord Jesus reacts quite differently in his
great love for us, because he wants us
to be helped.
He urges us to use his name.
In John 14 14, he says, if you
ask anything in my name, I will do
it.
We all sense how the powers of darkness
are threatening the earth today, because the commandments
of God have been rejected.
Injustice, criminality, violence, all kinds of addiction and
rebellion against God have gained the upper hand.
We are in danger.
Only one thing can help us, to call
upon the name of Jesus.
For his name brings help and deliverance in
every situation.
Nothing is so important in our lives as
fighting the battle of faith, by calling upon
the name of Jesus, and ridding our hearts
of sin, cost what it may.
Who calls upon the name of Jesus often?
He who knows that he needs help and
deliverance.
He who knows something of the horror of
sin, and the reality of his own chains
of sin.
Jesus knows how unhappy our sin makes us,
and he wants to make us happy, because
he loves us so much.
Therefore, he wants to free us from all
of our bondages to sin, and this happens
when we call upon his name, Jesus, in
our prayers.
It's not enough to call upon the name
of Jesus once.
It's a long struggle, and there may be
many apparent defeats.
However, if we don't get tired of calling
upon Jesus' name, we can be assured of
final victory.
Could there be any greater privilege than to
be able to call upon this name of
Jesus?
For Jesus keeps his word.
If you ask anything in my name, I
will do it.
This program by Basilia Schlenk has come to
