Trust and In His Name ~ June 20th 2021 (RHAPSODY OF REALITIES - Boast Ep. 281)

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES SUNDAY 20 JUNE 2021 PASTOR CHRIS TOPIC: TRUST AND BOAST IN HIS NAME ______________________________________________ KEY VERSE: And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him (Colossians 3:17). ______________________________________________ In 1 John 5:13, John writes, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” Notice the underlined construction; it simply means to put the Name of Jesus to work!

The man was crippled from birth, but Peter fastened his eyes on him and said, “…In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6). The Bible says Peter grabbed him by the arm, yanked him up, and instantly, his ankle bones received strength. Maybe today, your finances, job, or business is in a “crippled” state; use the Name of Jesus! Are there doors that seem to have been
