your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my
God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God
and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming
down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new
name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
(Revelations 3: 7-14)
Throughout the centuries mankind has yearned to know the exact name of
God, and various names were speculative, even unto today. For those who
claim to be Christian, the correct name of God is essential, but the rest of
mankind should come to know that name through you. These words
absolutely apply: “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped, but made himself nothing,
t aki ng t he v e r y
na t ur e o f a s e r van t , be i ng made i n human l ikene s s
. And being found in
appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and
gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every
tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
(Philippians 2:9-11)
The name of God should quell all argument. However, the
argument has just begun, almost to a feverish pitch that justifies a very
severe and dreadful end.
The solution for life’s dilemmas is the revered name of Jesus—a name
above every other name. It is the most effective part of spiritual reasoning.
As such, life is a manifestation of this spiritual reality, and this world will
not remain the way it is. There is a permanent solution predicated on the
name the Father gave to His Son, Jesus not the name given by the world
around Him!
Divine Perception is Essential
Spiritual discernment is essential, but questionable, because everyone
perceives in his or her own way, so we think. However, is perception
subject to each individual understanding or is there a force, which affects
our perception? Deception is an assumption that one perceives accurately,
but of course that is not the case and the question is why is anyone
deceived? Mankind is subject to two spiritual forces, a Divinely spiritual
force and a demonic spiritual force. Our perception is one or the other or a
mixture where our perception is not all that clear, but clarity is essential.
