Main list of Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin
God-Given
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above
every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things
in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father" (Phil. 2:9-11).
This was
done when Christ ascended on High, and God seated Christ at His own
right hand - far above all principality and power, and might, and
dominion. Another translation of Philippians 2:10 reads, "That at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings in heaven, and beings in
earth, and beings under the earth." (That refers to angels, men, and
demons.)
Why was
this Name conferred upon Jesus? Why was this Name invested with such
authority and dominion? Was it done for Jesus' benefit? No.
In the 2,000 years since Jesus' resurrection, ascension, and seating at
the Father's right hand, Jesus Himself has not used that Name once.
In fact,
the Scriptures give no inkling that Jesus has ever used that Name! Jesus
does not need to; He rules creation by His Word. But the Scriptures do
reveal that the Name of Jesus has been given for the benefit of the
Church, the Body of Christ!
Confession: As a member of the Body of Christ, as a believer, I have
a right to use the Name of Jesus - that Name that is above every name!
