Big Healing Book - Philippians 2:9-11

Philippians 2:9-11:

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Notes on Philippians 2:9-11:

This very misunderstood passage does not speak of a coming day when all demons and people will have to bow before Jesus. It isn’t even about bowing before Jesus, if you read it carefully. It is about bowing before the NAME of Jesus. Who uses that name? Jesus doesn’t. YOU do! When you command a demon to leave in the NAME of Jesus, that knee has to bow. When you command cancer or any other sickness to leave in the NAME of Jesus, its knee has to bow.

Jesus’ name is above every name. Does a certain condition in question have a name? (Or these days, at least initials; they count as a name for our purposes!) If the condition has a name, it must bow before the NAME of Jesus, which is above every name – arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, glaucoma, carpal tunnel syndrome, angina, AIDS, hepatitis, Lyme disease and so on!

I realize that by saying that this refers to what the Church does, it leaves the interesting question of how anything “under the earth” would bow at the Name of Jesus when used by the Church, as we don’t go there. I think a reasonable answer is that in the future, we will judge angels (1 Corinthians 6:3), and that will be done by Jesus’ authority, that is to say, in His name. Those angels will be sent to damnation “below the earth” being subject to the name of Jesus through the Church.
