Name Above Every Name - Bruce Paul - Bog

The purpose of this work is to equip God's people with a spiritual weapon the enemy has robbed from us. Paul says in 2Corinthians 10:4 "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds." There simply isn't a more powerful tool the church needs to learn how to wield than calling on God's sacred name. We as a church long for the days of Elijah-where we could call on the name of the Most-High God and see fire come down from heaven to vanquish the spiritual forces of darkness. There is a storm coming and God's people need to walk in His favor, as expressed in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28. Favor, not in terms defined by prosperity theology, where God is just a vending machine, indulging our over-inflated egos at our every whim. Yet, neither are we called to be subjugated by the spirit of despair, simply because we don't know how to fight a spiritual war with the spiritual weapons God has given us. As we venerate and call on His name, we bring glory to God, and His kingdom moves all around us. This is a key that opens the door of heaven to God's favor. "But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act," says YHWH Almighty." Malachi 4:2, 3
