DESCRIPTION

In this sermon, Basilio Shlink emphasizes the power of the name of Jesus
in freeing us from the chains of sin. He encourages listeners to call
upon the name of Jesus in prayer, as it is not enough to do so just
once. Shlink assures that although the struggle against sin may be long
and there may be apparent defeats, if we persist in calling upon Jesus'
name, we will ultimately experience victory. He emphasizes that calling
upon the name of Jesus is a privilege and that Jesus keeps his word when
we ask anything in his name. The sermon also highlights the current
state of the world, where the powers of darkness are threatening due to
the rejection of God's commandments, and emphasizes the importance of
fighting the battle of faith by calling upon the name of Jesus and
ridding our hearts of sin.

God lives and works today. Who experiences his reality the most? He who
often calls upon the name of Jesus in prayer. Such people have
experienced his reality through the centuries, to their great joy.

If you too long for God to be more than just a concept in your life,
listen to today's meditation by Basilia Schlenk called The Power of the
Name of Jesus. Jesus Christ, the victor's name, every knee shall bend
before you. Seated on the heavenly throne, all creation shall adore you.

For your name such power wields, only triumph victory yields. Has
someone ever given you a good suggestion about how to take advantage of
an opportunity, and then said, but don't say that I told you, don't
mention my name. Our Lord Jesus reacts quite differently in his great
love for us, because he wants us to be helped.

He urges us to use his name. In John 14 14, he says, if you ask anything
in my name, I will do it. We all sense how the powers of darkness are
threatening the earth today, because the commandments of God have been
rejected.

Injustice, criminality, violence, all kinds of addiction and rebellion
against God have gained the upper hand. We are in danger. Only one thing
can help us, to call upon the name of Jesus.

For his name brings help and deliverance in every situation. Nothing is
so important in our lives as fighting the battle of faith, by calling
upon the name of Jesus, and ridding our hearts of sin, cost what it may.
Who calls upon the name of Jesus often? He who knows that he needs help
and deliverance.

He who knows something of the horror of sin, and the reality of his own
chains of sin. Jesus knows how unhappy our sin makes us, and he wants to
make us happy, because he loves us so much. Therefore, he wants to free
us from all of our bondages to sin, and this happens when we call upon
his name, Jesus, in our prayers.

It's not enough to call upon the name of Jesus once. It's a long
struggle, and there may be many apparent defeats. However, if we don't
get tired of calling upon Jesus' name, we can be assured of final
victory.

Could there be any greater privilege than to be able to call upon this
name of Jesus? For Jesus keeps his word. If you ask anything in my name,
I will do it. This program by Basilia Schlenk has come to you from the
Little Land of Canaan.
