Day 6

“At the Mention”

Mark Harris and Kyle Lee 

“Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor

and gave him the name above all other names,

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow …

and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9–11 NLT).  

The name of Jesus is powerful. It is greater than any other name. We (Mark and Kyle) wrote “At the Mention” as both a reminder and a declaration of the authority that all believers have when we call on the name of Jesus. 

During Jesus’ ministry on earth, He did many miracles, including freeing people who were possessed by evil spirits. Jesus did not have to identify Himself to the evil spirits—they knew exactly who He was. Mark 3:11 says, “Whenever those possessed by evil spirits caught sight of him, the spirits would throw themselves to the ground in front of him shrieking, ‘You are the Son of God!’” (NLT) The moment the evil spirits came into the presence of Jesus, they recognized His divine authority. 

Acts 3 tells the story of a powerful interaction between Peter and John and a crippled beggar. This man asked the disciples for money as they were on their way to the Temple. Peter replied, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!” (v. 6 NLT). The man was instantly healed. For the first time in his life, he could walk!

It is important to remember that “Jesus” is not a magical word. It’s not an incantation you can use to get whatever you want. The seven sons of Sceva learned this lesson the hard way in Acts 19. They tried to cast out an evil spirit by using Jesus’ name, and this is what happened: “The spirit replied, ‘I know Jesus … but who are you?’ Then the man with the evil spirit leaped on them, overpowered them, and attacked them” (v. 15–16 NLT). 

Why didn’t the name of Jesus work for these men? Because they had no relationship with Him. You must have a relationship with Jesus in order to be able to access the power and authority of His name.

Perhaps you are facing a difficult situation today and are in need of miracle. If you are a believer, then begin declaring the name of Jesus over your life. Your Savior has all authority and all power, and nothing can stand against His name.

“Life is spoken, curses broken
At the mention of the name of Jesus
Death awakens, hell is shaken
At the mention of the name of Jesus”
