Faith In His Name

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. 

Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)

Thank you Father, in Jesus’ name! Thank you Father for this day, Hallelujah! Thank you Father for this program. Thank you Father; I pray that you would minister to many hearts; that you would give us all ears to hear and hearts to receive what the Holy Spirit is speaking, Amen.

Today’s program is called, Faith In His Name. Let’s turn to Acts 3:1,  Now Peter and John went up together to the Temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the Temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the Temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple, asked for alms. And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, Look at us. So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God. Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly amazed. So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. 

Let’s go to Acts 4:8, Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the Stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief Corner Stone. Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved. 

Php 2:5, Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on Earth, and of those under the Earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

Jesus said in John 14:12, Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. 

Let’s go to Eph 1:15, Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. 

Hos 6:1, Come, and let us return to the Lord; for He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the Earth. Isn’t this good people! What a joy!: The Word of God and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God. Hallelujah!  

Eph 2:4, But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, That is where we are! That is where we are! Those of us who believe in Jesus; who have faith in Him; who have confessed our sins; who have repented and believed the Gospel, and been crucified with Him, through water baptism, and raised with Him, and are seated with Him at the Father’s right hand, in the heavenly places, far above all principality, power and dominion, and every name that is named: we are there in Him! We must simply believe!; believe what the scripture says; believe what has been accomplished through the Gospel; through the resurrection of Jesus! Thank you Lord! 

Rom 10:8 But what does it say? The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the Word of faith which we preach: that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 

In Philippians 2, we read that the Father has highly exalted Jesus, and given Him a name above every name, in Heaven, on the Earth, and under the Earth. In Ephesians 1, we read, He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand, far above every power and principality and every name that is named!

We don’t just speak the name of Jesus; many people are speaking the name of Jesus. It is speaking His name in faith: faith in who He is, and in what the Father has done in him and through Him. When Jesus was on His way to Jairus’ house to raise his daughter from the dead, many, many people were thronging Him and touching Him, hoping to be healed of their diseases. But there was a woman, who came up behind Him, and she said in her heart, If I can just touch the hem of His garment, I shall be healed! She had faith in Him, and when she touched His garment, virtue went out of Him and immediately she was healed of her plague!  When we speak His name in faith in all that the Father has done in Him, and we refuse to doubt; if we continue in faith, believing the report in Isaiah 53: By His stripes we are healed; He has taken our sicknesses and carried our pains, we shall be delivered; we shall be healed. The prayer of faith, not just speaking His name, but faith in His name, will save the sick, and if they have committed any sins, they shall be forgiven. If you start to faint and fall into doubt, just stop and repent and acknowledge it to God, and get back to believing!: Lord, I believe, forgive and help my unbelief !  

One day, several years ago, I was speaking with a friend of mine about going to Israel. We were speaking many things about going to Israel. And at that time the Lord spoke to me and He told me, I’m sending you to Israel. I believed Him, and I kept on believing Him. I had no money to go to Israel. After a while, I stopped believing; I wasn’t believing Him about going to Israel, and one night, in my office, I humbled myself, and I prayed a prayer of repentance: I told Him, Father, forgive me, I’ve quit believing; I ask you to forgive me. From this night on I’m going to believe what you spoke to me: You are sending me to Israel! Immediately I had two charley horses, very strong; very painful, in my legs, courtesy of you know who, and I was in pain, but I determined that I was going to keep believing Him. And I kept on believing Him, and one night I was in a restaurant with a friend of mine, and they said to me, I believe it’s God’s will for me to pay your way to Israel, and they said, Do you think that’s God? I was overwhelmed, and I said, Yes I do, and, needless to say, God brought me to Israel, with a dear friend of mine. So, what a joy to believe God! So, as I’m saying, if you faint, if you quit believing, there’s no condemnation, come to the Lord and say, Lord I believe; help my unbelief !
