One Thought Repent Longing to Heaven (4) – By the Name of the Lord Jesus (Part 2 Of 3)

After reading Isaiah 57:15 and another reading of Acts 19:15, it said there:

“For this is what the high and exalted One
Who lives forever, whose name is Holy, says:
“I dwell in a high and holy place,
And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit
In order to revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the contrite…”

“But the evil spirit responded and said to them, “I recognize Jesus, and I know of Paul, but who are you?””

I realized that it is not the words that have spirituality, but the God who created the heaven and the earth, looking at you and me in the sky. Only when I am completely humbled from the bottom of my heart to believe in my Savior Jesus, who is brought out by His name Power will be with me to drive the evil one away from my heart.

Son, remember what the apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.

“but just as it is written:

“THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD,
AND WHICH HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HUMAN HEART,
ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”

For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.
Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.
We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But the one who is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is discerned by no one. 
For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.“

Son. If it wasn’t for the Holy Spirit reminding me that I could rely on the Lord to resist, how would I know that I could drive away the dark and negative thoughts in my heart by the name of the Lord Jesus? In my whole life, I only remember a preacher and his wife who said to me once. Such a small chance, for us human beings, is something that the human heart has never imagined. The words matched each other, and it was the Lord who had mercy on me and told me personally. That allowed your father to find a way to overcome sin in my heart, a workable way, and a way for sinners to be born again in the arms of the Son of God, the Savior Jesus. This is the grace of the Lord, and I have nothing to boast about.

I had wondered if “by the name of the Lord Jesus” was just the Lord’s mercy on me, it was individual. Praise the Lord! I later shared it with different brothers and sisters on two different occasions. One of the sisters later said to me that when she was sleeping, she often thought of her deceased mother and could not sleep. One night, she remembered what I had shared with her family, and by the name of the Lord, she commanded the thought to go away that made her miss her mother and made her often couldn’t fall asleep, it did not appear again.

Another brother in the Lord, I don’t know what troubles he has, but by chance, I shared with him my experience of driving away resentment by the name of the Lord Jesus. I even told him that sometimes I lost the battle in my dreams. After woke up, the Holy Spirit called me to knelt down and confessed to Him the sin of accepting resentment. After that, by the name of the Lord, those dark resentments could be driven away. Then one day, when the brother met me again, he gave me a very warm hug. I just felt that he might have experienced the power of “by the name of the Lord Jesus”. I hope he will not in the future, once again be bounded by sin. He can live well under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and live in the Lord.

The following sharing was told by the Lord to “speak boldly”, so I say it here.

Later, when I read 1 John 4:1-6, It said that:

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now it is already in the world.
You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
They are from the world, therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.
We are from God. The one who knows God listens to us; the one who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.“

I was very curious in my heart and wanted to know why my heart trembled every time because of the blood of the Lord Jesus and by the name of the Lord Jesus. So once, when I had some negative pride in my heart, and the thought of seeing others unpleasant appeared, I referred to the book of 1 John, the words recorded by God through the apostle John. I said in my heart, “By the name of my Lord Jesus, I command the spirit that has just been in my heart with those negative and proud thoughts to answer me, do you believe that the Lord Jesus is the Son of God, the Word became flesh, and came into the world?” Just when I said, “the Word became flesh”, that familiar trembling in my heart reappeared. I don’t know why but I didn’t know how to be afraid. So, in my heart, by the name of the Lord Jesus, I ordered the evil one to retreat far away. Then there was another shudder in my heart. The thought of being proud to look at others and disliking others disappeared; it is leaving no trace in my heart. Then after a few days, fear appeared in my consciousness. What was there in my mind? By the name of the Lord, drive it away!

In the following period, until today, I often say to myself, “Bad! Another trick!” or “That Evil One! Here come again?”. Then, I drive it away “By the Name of the Lord Jesus”, and those negative thoughts will disappear. I will be bound by resentment if I don’t want to give up those thoughts. After repenting, I have resisted the evil one in my heart over the past few years according to what Holy Spirit told me to do. With the precious blood of the Lord and the power of His name, my spiritual state was stabilized and I was no longer easily overthrown. Son, Isaiah 49:24-26, the words from the mouth of our God, the LORD, who made heaven and earth, are true! He has great power to deliver the captives, and I am one of them!

““Can the prey be taken from a mighty man,
Or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?”
Indeed, this is what the Lord says:
“Even the captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of a tyrant will be rescued;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will save your sons.
I will feed your oppressors with their own flesh,
And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine;
And humanity will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”“
