‎ FAITH IN THE NAME OF JESUS BRINGS TESTIMONIES!

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE."And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all." (Acts 3:16 KJV)

Nothing in the kingdom of God is possible without faith! The Bible says,
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6 KJV). Faith makes things work! Last night we learnt that the name of Jesus is the major instrument for a testimony lifestyle. Calling the name of Jesus is not enough,you must believe in that name that is above all other names in heaven and earth.

In the opening scripture, Apostle Peter was defending a testimony that happened at the beautiful gate. He and John met a man who was crippled from his mother's womb and the man asked them for alms. Instead of giving money they gave him a lifetime testimony with the power of attorney they possessed.

Look at what they did with the name of Jesus
" Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk." (Acts 3:6 KJV).
Hallelujah! They spoke a testimony into existence using the name of Jesus and the result was instant. They spoke with authority in the name and the devil ran away from the man. Wow!That is what happens when you use the name of Jesus with faith in your heart. The man was healed immediately,
"And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God." (Acts 3:7, 8 KJV).

He was healed instantly and the testimony began to spread, people gathered as they watched a testimony happen before their very eyes. When every body started asking how it happened Peter stood up and explained with our opening scripture
"And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all."
You have direct access to that name and you can command the same result if you use the name in faith.

Faith is believing what the word of God declares as truth over every situation and circumstance. Having faith in the name of Jesus is being conscious and confident that God cannot lie. Expect your testimony as you use the name of Jesus in faith.
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;" (Philippians 2:10 KJV).

Henceforth believe the Word and operate in the Word.When Peter used that name and the man was staring at him, he added an action to make it work.
"And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength."

Faith is acting on the word of God because you believe He cannot fail. This is your season and hour of testimony ,keep speaking in the name of Jesus with faith in that name.
