Summary: The name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior, has power and authority over sin, sickness, demons, death, and more. The bible encourages us to "run to" His Name and find safety.

Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

•• We in New Testament times now know the full name. The name of the Lord Jesus Christ (or Christ Jesus the Lord, or other combinations of the three words) occurs more than 80 times in the New Testament.

•• It is the name above all other names — Philippians 2:9-11 ...God ... 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.

•• The name of Jesus is our strong tower. His name is for us a source of strength, of safety. We should "run to it."
• In various encounters with demons over the years, I have always invoked the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ against the evil spirits. Jesus' name always prevails!

• Let’s see some more aspects of the power of that strong tower — the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 2:21, 36-38 “And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” ... [36] “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ” [37] When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”[38] Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

[17] 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.”

John 16:23-24 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. [24] Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
