Your Name is Written

And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name.

And He said unto them, “I beheld satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”

Luke 10:17-20, KJV
 

Jesus teaches the disciples a valuable lesson that we must learn as well. It is a great thing that even the demons are subject to us through the name of Jesus. But we must be careful to not get hung up on that. We should rejoice in the fact that we have been forgiven of our sins and redeemed. It is an amazing thing to see and experience the power in the name of Jesus. But Jesus decided to make this point to help prevent pride in the ministry.

Jesus said, “Rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

Keep praying and casting out devils in Jesus name, but rejoice in the greatest fact of all. That your name is written in the Lambs book of life.
