Preaching the Name of Jesus Christ

Acts 8:12:
But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

Philip preached the name of Jesus Christ and proceeded to see miracles of sufficient quality and quantity that the atmosphere of the city was changed – there was great joy in that city!

We, like Philip, should preach that name.  Preach that there is forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ!  Preach that there is healing in the name of Jesus Christ!  Preach that there is deliverance in the name of Jesus Christ!  Preach that there is the meeting of EVERY need in the name of Jesus Christ!

You can preach on a lot of topics, but if you want to see miracles as Philip did at Samaria, you need to preach the name of Jesus Christ so that people can call on His name.  And you need to preach the fullness of what is available in that name – not just “fire insurance” so that people can avoid hell.  Avoiding hell is part of the gospel, but there is a lot more to the New Covenant than that!

If you only preach that you can call on the name of Jesus to be saved from hell, people will be saved from hell but not healed.  But if you also preach that you can call on the name of Jesus to be saved from sickness, people will be saved from sickness.  Faith comes by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17)!  Let everyone know ALL the benefits that are available in His name so that you can see miracles as Philip did!
