RUN INTO HIS NAME TODAY
How often does the name of Jesus fall from your lips during the day? How often do your children utter the name of Jesus?
The name of Jesus is salvation. His name is healing. His name is deliverance.
Acts 4:12 says: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” That word “saved” does not only mean saved! It is “sozo” and means to be “delivered, protected, healed, preserved, and made whole!”
What about Proverbs 1818? “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”
You can not only speak the name of Jesus. You can run into His name. As you run into Him you are safe. As you run into His name, you run into His healing for His name is Jehovah Rapha, “I am the LORD that healeth thee” (Exodus 1;26).
I love the words of the old hymn by John Newton:
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.
It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.
Speak His name often today. Run into His name.
