Jesus’ Words in Red Protection in the Name

Jesus’ Words in Red

Protection in the Name

Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name

If you have ever had a life threating experience or you know someone who has

You probably saw a running to God

As they say, “There are no Atheist in fox holes”

In Jesus’ concluding prayer of John 17

Jesus asked the Father to protect His disciples

 Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name

Jesus says this prayer of protection was not for the world

But for those who obey God’s Word

It is Faith in the Name of Jesus that releases

The protection and provisions of God

Lift up the Name of Jesus in Faith 

Protection in the Name

If you have ever had a life threating experience

or you know someone who has…

You probably saw a running to God.

As they say…

 “There are no Atheist in fox holes.”

In Jesus’ concluding prayer of John 17

Jesus asked the Father to protect His disciples…

 Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name

Jesus says this prayer of protection was not

for the world, but for those who obey God’s Word.

…they have obeyed your word. …For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.

Jesus also said while He was with

the believers He protected them.

“While I was with them, I protected them and

kept them safe by that name you gave me.”

God the Father gave His Son the Name Jesus.

In Hebrew, Jesus’ Name means Jehovah-Saved.

There was a time that Jesus said to Peter…

"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat.

But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail.”

Luke 22:31-32

The most important thing Satan would

like to take from us is our “FAITH”…

Faith in The Name of Jesus.

Every believer should know Proverbs 18:10…

“The name of the LORD is a strong tower;

the righteous run to it and are safe.”

The righteous are given excess to safety

in “the Name of the Lord”.

Jesus says…

“I tell you the truth, my Father will

give you whatever you ask in my name.”

John 16:23

Our needs of provision and protection

come as we ask in the Name of Jesus.

How powerful is the Name of God?

“Salvation is found in no one else,

for there is no other name under heaven

given to men by which we must be saved."

Acts 4:12

What is the Name the Father gave?

9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place

and gave him the name that is above every name,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11

When you read the great commission in

Mark 16 you will see that believers in

the Name of Jesus will do miracles.

“And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all;

they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." 

Mark 16:17-18

After Jesus went to be with the Father we see

the miracles the disciples did in the Name of Jesus.

“By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.”

Acts 3:16

We see a clear example of a healing

in Jesus’ Name in Acts 9:33-34.

“…a paralytic who had been bedridden for eight years.

34 "Aeneas," Peter said to him, "Jesus Christ heals you…”

The Name of Jesus is not a magic word.

It is only faith in His Name that that has power. 

 “Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, "In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out." 14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15[One day] the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?" 16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.”

Acts 19:13-16

Look at Paul and the results

he had in the Name of Jesus…

“She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!" 

At that moment the spirit left her.”

Acts 16:18

Over and over again in Scripture we read…

"In My Name," "In Jesus' Name," or "In His Name"

The devils were powerless because of His Name (Luke 10:17).

The demons were cast out in His Name (Mark 16:17-18).

Healing occurred in His Name (Acts 3:6, 3:16, 4:10).

Salvation comes in His Name (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:13).

We are to baptize in His Name (Matthew 28:19).

We are justified in His Name (1 Corinthians 6:11).

Everything we do and say is done in His Name (Colossians 3:17).

It is important that we lift up the Name of Jesus.

That everything we do and say

is done in the Name of Jesus.

We must never use the Name of Jesus

in a way that seems corny, or a cliché.

It is faith in the Name of Jesus…

It is faith that gives the Name of

Jesus meaning and power.

God the Father has given

His Son the Name Jesus.

A name of authority above all other Names.

Our protection and provision is in that Name.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME!!!

Scripture Reading

John 17:1-12 NIV

17:1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:

"Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

6 "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name — the name you gave me — so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
