One Thought Repent Longing to Heaven (4) – By the Name of the Lord Jesus (Part 1 Of 3)

My dear son and readers! In this testimony, I will tell you what happened to me and how to overcome sin by the name of the Son of God, the Lord Jesus. This is also the most important part of my promise to my Lord Jesus. This article is divided into three parts, each with a five-minute reading time. I pray that the Spirit of God will guide your heart so that you can see in your heart what I have experienced and understand what He wants you to understand His ways.

Ever since the Lord told me to forsake evil and choose good, He will then have glory. He also told me to take a narrow path. Even when I was helpless, my Lord told me His precious blood was sufficient for me. I believe that what the Lord Jesus said to me through the Holy Spirit is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path! But I still have a problem, even if I ask the blood of the Lord to cover me and not fall too easily to the evil one, I still have no discernment to completely resolve the temptation of sin. It is because I also agree that those thoughts are right. The resentment that comes from the knowledge of distinguishing between good and evil, and the resentment that others have done to me or laughed at me, will often reappear when I pray or read the Bible every day on my knees. In my mind, even if I ask the Lord’s precious blood to cover me, I am often drawn to it as long as I am voluntarily being fooled. My mouth is reading God’s words in the Bible, but my heart is lost in clouds and mists thousands of miles away. I don’t like that kind of me. I want to meet the God who loves me from reading the Bible, but the thought that often floats in my heart attracts my mind. So many times, when I finish reading the Bible, I can’t remember the scriptures I just read at all. My mind goes blank like my memory has been stolen. Then I will feel sad about why I don’t even have that little concentration. And I wonder why the Lord told me that His blood is sufficient for me, but I am still defeated and feel that it is not sufficient? So, I often ask the Lord to forgive me and have mercy on me! But one day, I remembered that a missionary couple once said, “By the name of the Lord Jesus, we can drive away the temptations to us from the evil one.” Then after a while, a message from the Holy Spirit appeared lightly and repeatedly in my heart and it took many days for me to listen carefully to it. The message was like this:

“You don’t necessarily have to be tempted passively by the evil one and then ask me to have mercy on you. You can rely on me to resist those temptations.”

But at that time, I didn’t know how to rely on the Lord to resist. Then the missionary’s words were connected in my heart with the thought that had appeared in my heart that I could resist. However, I cannot remember how long after being knocked down, the day when I have teased again. When I read the Bible, I didn’t want to be knocked down again, and more importantly; the Holy Spirit reminded me that I can resist. So, in my heart, I say to the various resentments and the evil thoughts that have arisen in my mind, “By the name of the Lord Jesus, I command the evil one to retreat far away, not allowing You to annoy me!” As I said this, I felt a commotion in my heart. Or rather to be precise, in the depths of my soul, because by the name of the Lord Jesus, I feel that from my soul, something is expelled and stripped away from there. After that thing was expelled, the scenes and resentments of being ridiculed or abandoned in my heart, together with the restlessness in my soul, disappeared like the tide suddenly ebbs—— no more —— not at all. It is also similar to a rubber balloon that had been inflated with an air pump, suddenly the air pump was removed, and the balloon deflated and returned to its original shape. To be further simply described, it is the same as a person who was drenched in cold water and gave a cold shock, no longer indulged in the dream, and woke up. Over the past few years, I had tried countless times. As long I did not want to be fooled by all kinds of negative images or emotions that appeared in my heart, whenever I commanded the evil one in my heart, by the name of the Lord Jesus, to go away. There was a commotion in my heart at first, and then I woke up like taking a cold shower, and those negative thoughts disappeared. But whenever I no longer had the heart to rely on the Lord Jesus, thinking that as long as it is like chanting a mantra, those negative thoughts could not be driven away from my heart. That sentence, “By the name of the Lord Jesus, command the evil one to retreat far away” seems like having a spiritual that understands what I have in my heart. Only when I trusted the Lord with all my heart, I could drive those negative thoughts away and drive them out of my heart. Moreover, I found that the most important battlefield is in my dreams. If it was in the dream, I remembered “by the name of the Lord” to drive away the evil one. I had really won the battle. Those negative and dark thoughts were dissipated. If I didn’t remember or didn’t want to seek help from the Lord’s name, I would be knocked down. Then, I had to ask the Lord to forgive me so that those evil thoughts can be dispelled. By this year, when I had a…
