Five simple letters that, when strung together, birth the most powerful Word in all of history.
J-E-S-U-S.
Example upon example in the Word of these five letters becoming a weapon , a cure, a Living Hope.
And, still today, this Name above all names provides us with the power to live in all we do.
If you’re comfortable, I invite you to share the name (or initial) of someone for whom we can join you in praying the powerful, healing, life-giving name of Jesus over.
No other name sheds power when spoken—no other name is worthy.
Let’s speak His name, by faith, over the lives of our people today — and watch as He does a new work among us.

Good morning Brenda and all,
Please continue praying for Nicole (and me)…..that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your sweet offer of freezer meals post op. Maybe I could meet up with you half way before my surgery? You are so kind and caring and no, Dave is not the best cook lol. So, anything edible would certainly be greatly appreciated 🙂 Let’s chat….
Blessings and thanks for the inbox reminder for today…

If only we indeed swallow our pride and truly see and admit that we are wrong and we need help, God will never turn His back from us.
Amen, Lux. Thankful for a faithful God. ((hug))
As I read the title of your post, all I could think of was the words from that old hymn …’ Jesus, the name that calms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease. Tis music in the sinner’s ears, tis life and health and peace.’
He loves us so.
Thanks for proclaiming His name, friend.
