In what ways is the Name of the LORD a strong tower?

Proverbs 18:10

“The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”

I realize something about John 14, in verse 10, the Heavenly Father gave Jesus the words to speak and he performed the works through Jesus.

John 14:10

“Believe thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me…”

The Heavenly Father told Jesus what words to say and confirmed that through signs, wonders, and miracles. The same concept is repeated in John 5:19 & 8:28-29.

So in what ways is the Name of the LORD is a strong tower?

John 16:23

Jesus said, “And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.”

Whatsoever you need! His name, throght in his name is your string toaer.

In Act 3, the cripple man was made whole and healed through faith in the name of Jesus!

In Luke 10:17, seventy of Jesus’ disciples returned from a missions trip, saying even the devils are subject to us through your name.

Lots of people have asked and not received  because they gave up too soon.

Sometimes, it comes down to persistence. Luke, the widow woman of Luke 18:1-8, was persistent in appealing to a wicked judge until they received justice. Jesus called her persistent faith. He said though God bears long with them, yet he will avenge them speedily. 

Other times, people do not receive it because they have no relationship with God and are simply doing what they see somebody else do.

Acts 19:13-16, Seven Sons Sceva, a chief priest, tried to use the name of Jesus to cast out evil spirits. The evil spirit said, ‘Jesus, I know, and Paul, I know, but who are you?’

Many are defeated because they have no substantive relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Developing faith is a lifestyle. There will be many failures, but keep pressing because God is faithful and has called us to Himself through Jesus Christ our Lord!
