Empowered in the Name of Jesus

"Shout Jesus from the mountains

Jesus in the streets

Jesus in the darkness over every enemy

Jesus for my family

I speak the mighty name of Jesus"

- I Speak Jesus by Charity Gayle

I have been playing this song on repeat for months. This anthem of faith has met me in moments of tears behind the wheel, resounded through the corners of my home, and soared high in prayer for my loved ones finding their way to Jesus. There's an undeniable potency in the name of Jesus—power and liberation, both intertwined. Freedom for you, your family, and those in your spheres of influence!

God is preparing us, empowering us, activating us. He's lighting our torches in the sacred fire of His presence, urging us to go boldly into the shadows, armed with the power of Jesus and anchored in the Word of God. It's a call to action, a call to boldly step into the darkness and bring forth His power and light, to bring freedom to the captives and healing to the afflicted.

I believe that we're not just illuminating dark spaces; we're exposing the works of darkness itself! Darkness cannot stay when Jesus' light is in the room! Our mission? To bring deliverance, to bring freedom to the captives!

"Shout JESUS!" —a resounding call over our homes, our finances, our bodies, minds, and spirits. Embracing the freedom and authority poured upon us by Holy Spirit, we become agents of transformation in our spheres of influence.

Acts 1:8 anchors our purpose: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Reflect on this today: Are you ready to be a vessel of His power? 

Let's declare His name and be bearers of His light, bringing deliverance and joy wherever we go!

May we be empowered by the name of Jesus, lighting up the darkness, influencing the culture around us, and bringing forth the freedom found only in Him.
