Sent In His Name
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach
you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (John
14:26).
The opening verse simply implies that the Holy Spirit was sent by the Father in the Name of Jesus. The Holy Spirit doesn’t have a name; His name
isn’t “Holy Ghost” or “Holy Spirit.” That’s just a description of His person or character. Howbeit,
He answers to the Name of Jesus.
When you call the name, “Jesus,” the Holy Spirit goes into action. He would have had no right to
function in the earth the way He does, had He not come in the Name of someone who had a right to
the earth—Jesus. Jesus bought the whole world. He’s called the Son of man and the Son of God; He’s
hundred percent man, and hundred percent God. He’s the One that has the right to the whole world.
He’s the Seed of Abraham, and heir of all things (Hebrews 1:2).
Today, the Holy Spirit takes the place of the absent Jesus here on earth. He’s here to do whatever
Jesus would have done. He’s not less powerful than Jesus. In fact, He was the One who empowered
Jesus. The Bible says in Acts 10:38, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” He was that Power!
Now, Jesus is gone to heaven, but the Holy Spirit is here with us, to help us claim everything that
belongs to Jesus, and live triumphantly to the glory of God, fulfilling our callings and destinies
in Christ. We’re His heirs. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:12, “Now we have received, not the
spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely
given to us of God.” The One with whom we’re dealing owns the whole world. He’s here in the Name of
the Seed of Abraham—Jesus.
Remember, God Almighty willed the whole world to Abraham and to his Seed (Romans 4:13). The Bible
says that the Seed of Abraham is Christ, and if you belong to Christ, you’re Abraham’s seed and
therefore, an heir according to the promise (Galatians 3:29).
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you forthe privilege to use and live in the Name of Jesus. I’m always assured of answers, knowing that
the Holy Spirit immediately goes to work on my behalf! Thank you for this wonderful blessing, in
the Name of Jesus. Amen.
