We pray that this week's message challenges you in your walk with the Lord, causes you to grow in your faith, and encourages you in your love for the Word of God. Hallelujah, glory to God, I buttoned my jacket officially, I was preaching in a church in America and it was a country church and they couldn't understand why even wore a jacket. He says, how can a preacher wear a jacket and be expressive? And then he says, and not only do you wear one, you button it. And he said, why do you button it? I said, at this age I still can. That is a good start. Amen. Well, Pastor John, it's an honor. We thank God for the opportunity to be with you and to be able to be a part of your life and to be able to be a part of CCI Fellowship today. For those who don't know me, I'm Pastor Ken Harbaugh. I am from the state of Ohio and I am married. I have three children. My oldest ranges from 36, my youngest at 20, almost 21. I have two grandchildren and it seems like every year that calendar turns, I seem to get a little bit older. But thank God I feel more renewed inside than I ever have in my life. Amen. So we're thankful for the opportunity to be here to speak and minister. So I want to get right to it because of the time schedule and everything else that's going on. I want you to turn in your Bibles with me to the book of Acts chapter 4. All right. I like that excitement about the Word of God. The book of Acts chapter 4. I'm turning to it like I need to find it. I forgot I had a ribbon there already. Amen. Acts chapter 4. It's the beginning of the church age, what we call actually the church age. I preached for years that the book of Acts was the birth of the church, but actually the birth of the church actually took place in the last part of John when Jesus returned and breathed on the disciples and said, That's actually, you know, scripturally when the church was birthed. But the book of Acts is where we see the church that's birthed in action. And I really have this in my heart today and I wanted to share. The last song really tells the title of my message. I want to deal with a name above every name, and that's the name of Jesus. That's the name we all have fellowship around. No matter where we come from, the background, the name of Jesus is the name that we fellowship around. And that's the name that brings results. Amen. That's the name that heaven still honors and we honor today. Now I'm going to read a few verses here and then I'm going to go back and refer to some other places. But in the book of Acts, the fourth chapter, it says, Now as they spake to the people, the priest and captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. So not everybody was excited about the preaching of Jesus. This was a new concept to them that was not accepted. So they laid hands on them, verse three, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already in the evening. However, many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about 5,000. Now that's a pretty good harvest, just preaching the word. We see one place, they preached 3,000, came into the church, another 5,000 came into the church. But this name is what caused an issue. This name caused an issue. Let's go on down. It came to pass on the next day that the rulers and the elders and scribes, as well as Anna the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and many as were of the family of the high priest gathered together at Jerusalem. And when they had set them in the midst, the disciples there, they asked, By what power or by what name have you done this? Now what is this that they did? Back in chapter three tells the story. If you can turn back a page, it's all on one opening here. Chapter three, verse one, Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man laying from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, which is called beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple. Now you've seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, ask for alms. And fixing his eyes on them with John, Peter said, look on us. Now Peter didn't say look on us as if they had something, you know, as far as in their natural life, there was something else that happened to them because of the work of Jesus Christ in their life. And that happened there in the book of Acts chapter two. You go back to the next chapter and you get it. So he gave the man, the lame man, gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. What was the lame man expecting to receive? Expecting to receive money from them because that's what he's been doing all the time he's been sitting there. Peter said, silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. Now, in essence, I believe for me to say that Peter and John were completely busted with no money at all. I don't think that was their heart. I think what their heart was, you've been laying here getting money all the time and not one coin has rescued you. Not one bit of money has saved your life. So it's not about silver and gold, but by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, rise up and walk. But he didn't just say rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he leaped up, stood, and walked and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God. Verse 10, and they knew that it was he who sat begging for alms at the beautiful gate of the temple. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened. So this one miracle is what caused them to be brought into question. This one miracle is what caused them to be brought into custody. This is what it was. This miracle didn't happen because Peter and John were some great preacher, because they were some great anointed man of God. It happened because of another name called the name of Jesus. That name, according to the book of Philippians, stands supreme in all three worlds. It says the name of Jesus stands supreme in heaven, earth, and things beneath the earth. Or I like to say that name stands supreme in heaven, earth, and in hell. That name is known in all three realms. Okay, so back over in chapter 4, just kind of pick up where we were at here. And verse 7 again, and when they had set them in the midst, they asked him, By what power or by what name have you done this? Peter, verse 8, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, rulers of the people and elders of Israel, If we this day are judged for a good deed done to this helpless man, by what means he had been made well? Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ, This is something that you ought to mark or make reference to in your Bibles. By the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and who God raised from the dead, By him this man stands here before you whole. So he begins to talk about and preach about the name of Jesus. Verse 13, and when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned or uneducated, Ignorant men and untrained in the ministry, they could say untrained in the ministry, They marveled and they realized that they had been with Jesus. Now there's something about spending time in the presence of God that causes a change in our life. I believe with all of my heart that this name is the greatest name that ears has ever heard. I have been in countries around the world, literally. I have been in almost every continent of the world and preached in the Orient, Europe, North America, Central America, South America, both sides of Russia, the Asia side, the Europe side. I have seen the name of Jesus work in every aspect of the world. And it's never failed. It has never failed. So I want us to go down here, just a little bit more here. Verse 18, so they called them and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, in the name of whom? You can do whatever you want, but leave this name of Jesus out. I feel like the world would try to put pressure on us to just go through religious activities and just eliminate the name that causes life to come to people. Verse 19, but Peter and John answered and said to them, whether it be right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. That's where I'm at. I cannot help but speak the things that I have seen and the things that I have heard. Now, verse 20, that was verse 20, verse 21. So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them because of the people since they all glorified God in what they had done. Amen. And so this whole concept in here, they wanted people to know there's no other name under heaven. No other name. There is no other name under heaven whereby men can be saved. No other name under heaven. Say it with me. No other name under heaven where men can be saved. Now this word salvation I want to get to because it doesn't mean just someone accepting Jesus Christ or being born again. The word salvation comes from a Greek word called Soteria. We get our study of salvation called Soteriology from it. Soteria is more than just being born again or reborn by the Spirit. Soteria deals with not only being born again, but it deals with safety, it deals with preservation, it deals with deliverance, it deals with healing, it deals with prosperity, it deals with every aspect of our life. Because the word salvation is all-inclusive. It's all-inclusive. It deals with all of it. So when he begins to say there's no other name under heaven given by men where we might be saved, when he begins to deal with that, then it is the name above every name. So the word salvation, people look at it just in the general term as this person got saved or they accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. What about God's people standing by the Red Sea when they were ready to cross over, the Egypt army was behind them, and all of a sudden we find these words that say, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. When no one got saved that day, the word salvation means stand still and watch God deliver. So when you see the word salvation, you'll see this coming into a place of deliverance, safety, healing, deliverance, and everything into it. I believe that if we ever lose knowledge and understanding about how powerful this name is, we've lost it all. We've lost it all. I've watched this name work around the world. I'll give you one story. Years ago, this is one in America because some people think that this works overseas with missionaries. I just came off the road I was traveling. I was gone like two weeks and came home and a pastor friend of mine called me. The day after I just arrived home, he called me and asked me what I was doing. I told him, matter of fact, I was on my way to the post office. I was going to check the mail. I had to make some other stops and heading back to take care of some office stuff because in a couple days I'm leaving back out for another ministry trip. He said, I'm over here at the hospital. He named the hospital just about 15 minutes from where I live. He said, we have a lady in my church that the doctors say there's no way she can live. There's no way she can live. And he said, I believe she can. And I've said, I believe she can too, because I believe Jesus is the healer. And he said, I believe if I had someone who understood faith that could come and agree with me, she could be made whole. I said, all right, I'll make a few stops and I'll be there. I got to the hospital. I went into the intensive care floor. I got off the elevator and there they were setting. And he introduced me to the daughter of the lady in the hospital. And he said, I told them about who you are and how God has used you here and around the world. And we agreed that whatever God speaks to you in this hospital room, that's what we're going to do. And I'm thinking, I came to agree with you, not for you to say whatever God shows you, that's what we're going to do. So I get in there and this lady is swelled up beyond normal. She had every kind of tube and line running to her and she was in a coma. There was nothing the doctors could do. And so when I walked in the room, inside of my spirit, I heard these words, just say my name. The Bible says that when two or three are gathered together in his name, there I am in the midst. So when two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst. And I really believe when there's two or three gathered together in the name of Jesus, it brings Jesus on the scene. There I am in the midst of you. So if he wasn't in the midst of us, then why would the Bible say that? It's his name. It's his name that brought him present. So I said, today, I'm not going to anoint with oil. I'm not going to lay hands upon your mother. And you know, by tradition, they're thinking, well, isn't that what you're supposed to do? We're asking you to pray. No, what you said was, whatever God leads you to do, that's what we're going to do. And so I was at the, the bed was up against the wall. I was to the lady's right side. Her daughter was to her left side. My pastor friend was at the foot of the bed. And I just said, let's just begin to say Jesus. For there's no other name under heaven given by men whereby we must be delivered. There's no other name under heaven given by men whereby we must be saved. Or we must be healed. Or wherever thing else we need, it's all wrapped up in that name. I said, let's just start saying that name. So you know, people get uncomfortable. So I started off saying, Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. And the little daughter there said, Jesus. I said, no, come on. This is not the time to be, Jesus. Let's say the name. I said, Jesus. I said, come on. Jesus. Come on, man. Come on. Jesus. Jesus. Oh, Jesus. There's no other name under heaven. Jesus. Jesus. I said, come on. Let's just keep doing it. I had, the more we said the name of Jesus, the power of God, God's spirit began to move inside of that room. And we got into that. And all we could do was say the name of Jesus. And I'm talking about God's presence was in that room. Never laid hands. God instructed me. You know, once we were done, I said, man, this is powerful. Just let me know what's happening. After I left the hospital, I got a call. 30 minutes. 30 minutes after I left the hospital, she was out of the coma. 30 minutes out of the hospital, God began to raise her up. Why? Because it wasn't the laying of hands of man. It wasn't the laying of hands of, on anyone else. It was that name that delivered her. I couldn't grab her by the hand and lift her up out of the bed. She had too many tubes connected to her. But I believe there was something about the revelation that Peter and John had that day. When he said, silver and gold have I none. Or even if I had money, it wouldn't help you. You'll be here tomorrow begging. And you'll be here the next day begging. If I gave you everything I had in my pocket, you'd never quit begging. So it's not about money today. It's about the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Rise up and be healed. And reached him, took him by the right hand and lifted him up. It was the name of Jesus that brought life to people. I have watched this name work in some of the most dangerous areas. I was in Indonesia during the last two weeks of Ramadan, during the last two weeks of the Islamic fast. And I was over in the island of Sumatra in the jungles. And we were there. And I was invited. So I was like one of four preachers that was there. I was just a young man then. I'm a young man now. But I was a younger man then. So I wasn't the lead guy. I wasn't the one in charge. I was just there. Whatever they said to do, I'll do. Because, you know, my former youth pastor when I was 12 years old is the one who led the meeting. He was raised in Indonesia. Dad was a missionary there for 50-some years. And so my friend spoke the language fluently. And we were there. So I was with this other guy. And he was supposed to be, you know, prophet by gift. And we were in this area and praying for people. And when we were praying for them, this demonic spirit started manifesting in this girl. Well, this seasoned preacher that I was with started to rebuke that spirit. And that spirit, the girl didn't act like she had budged her. And I watched it mess with his faith. And all of a sudden he said, give me the oil. And I'm thinking, oh my dear brother. You just got intimidated. And I said, that devil's not afraid of that oil. He's only fears one thing. It's called the authority of the name of Jesus. That's the name that defeated him when Jesus walked on the earth. And it's still the name that defeats him today. And so, I mean, it's almost like he attacked her with this. And it wasn't going. And it's like, just give me the opportunity. And it came. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, by the name that causes heaven to move, I command you to be free. It's amazing how that name works in the lives of people. I can preach this to anywhere that people believe that Jesus is Lord. And people can get results. I can believe this and preach this anywhere where people is Lord and get results. Amen. We cannot but speak this name. We cannot but speak this name. That's what he said. We cannot but speak this name. And so, at the name of Jesus today, I stand here with a lot of things I could preach, a lot of things I could teach. But that which kept coming in my spirit was, that name is going to be present. The last song we sang about the name of Jesus. It's that name that causes us to be able to stand in freedom and victory. I can't find any place in the Bible where sickness and disease ignored the name of Jesus. That name is powerful. I was called to the bedside of Tim and Kathy Halcoman church there. Tim's dad had a heart attack and he had died. He was in the veterans hospital there in Dayton, Ohio. And they called me and said, Tim's dad is dying. Actually, by the time I got there, he had expired. And they jump started him and brought him back. While I was there in the hospital room, his grandson came. And Tim had some things he wanted to ask his dad. There were some things they had to finalize. There were some things they needed to know. And so, it's like, we'll never know these things. We'll never find these things out. Once you're dead, you're usually dead. We can't find these things out. And so the nurse came in and they were trying to do things. And I said, just wait. The thing I heard in the hospital years ago, I heard right back in my spirit again. Just say my name. The grandson was up there weeping. The son was there. And I said, let's just say the name of Jesus. There's no other name under heaven. This name stands supreme. This name is, this is the name. Jesus himself is the one who raised Lazarus from the dead, who'd been dead for four days. It was this. Jesus wasn't there, you know, physically. But his name brought him there. Jesus physically was at the tomb of Lazarus. But when people come into agreement in that name, he shows up. In the spirit, he shows up. So I'm thinking, you know, people may think, what are you doing? I said, let's just say the name of Jesus. You know, sometimes you get intimidated if you let it. But I have so much faith and so much belief that you can't beat this name. I've watched it raise to death. I've seen the blinded eyes open. I've watched the deaf ears open. I've watched God change. I've been in places where people said there's no way that you can live. I laid hands on a lady that had osteoporosis. They said within days she'll be totally tied to a wheelchair. And she still walks and lives today. I was there when I watched God give my mother a brand new liver because she was dying. And gave her just weeks to live. Had cirrhosis of the liver, never drank. There was medication they gave her back years ago that destroyed her liver. But I watched her live 30 years longer because God showed up and gave my mother a brand new liver. Amen. You can't make these things up. The devil's not out there healing people. The Bible says that the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. It's Jesus Christ that came to give life and life more abundantly. And I said, let's just begin to say that name. Jesus. Jesus. I said, come on, help me. Jesus. And I just kept saying Jesus. Let's just say it together. Say Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. The room came filled. Just like some of you like how that felt right there. And all of a sudden his heart started beating again. And the spirit came back to his body. And Tim began to talk to his dad. And the grandson began to talk to him. When they got everything cleared up and fixed, everything they needed to know, he took back off to heaven. Oh yeah. For somebody to tell me, you know, this doesn't work anymore. I showed up too late to tell me that. Because I believed it. I exercised it. And it works. It works. It works. It works. I believe it and it works. And so God is so good. And everything that happens in this. Amen. He's so good. So when we look at this, this name, it's powerful. Now let's go back to the gospel. This is where it was God's plan for this to happen all the time. It wasn't just because of a book of Acts experience. What book did I tell you? I meant the book of Luke. The book of Luke. The book of Luke. Let's go to chapter 9 first. The book of Luke chapter 9. Verse 1. And he called his 12 disciples. Now this is where I've had people say, uh-huh, it's just for his 12. But I'm glad there's more than just 9 chapters in the book of Luke. So he called his 12 disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to do what? Say it real loud. Uh-huh. That's what he did. He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to what? Oh, Jesus sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Chapter 10. So the 12 went and did it. Chapter 10. After these, verse 1, the Lord appointed 70 others. Now, there's only 12 apostles. Now we're in 70 others. For somebody to say just for the apostles. He said 70 others. He sent them two by two before his face in the ever city where he himself was about to go. All right. Verse 17. And when the 70 returned, you know what I love about this? They left to go do the assignment and they actually came back. They didn't get lost on the way. I've watched so many people got sent out to do a work as a missionary and get lost and never complete the assignment. And the 70 returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the, help me, are subject in your name. They said, even the devils are subject in your name. So apparently they had the same assignment that the 12 had. And not only did the 70 have that assignment. When we were drafted in, we got that assignment. We're able to go into all the world. Mark 16, 15. The Bible says, going on. He says, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believes and baptized shall be saved. He that believes not shall be damned. He said, in my name. I notice everything is in there. In my name. They shall cast out devils. There's something about that, that people get weirded out about it. But it's true. Jesus came to deliver God's people. Amen. And I have people in America. Pastor friends saying, you know, that's overseas. Pastor Ken, that's not America. He said, America don't have those kind of activities. I said, oh. So all of the things that you see going on is just people's stupidity. No. There's only two forces in the world, light and darkness. Understand that. There's two forces in the world, light and darkness. God and the enemy. You know why the enemy wants to defeat people? Because remember when God created Adam. And then I love Adam. He brought ease into being. The reason when God created Adam, and the reason why the enemy wanted to come in and defeat Adam, because Adam was made in the likeness and the image of God. Lucifer was not created as Satan or the devil. He was created as the cherubim that covers. Had a major role in the worship of heaven. Am I right? Had a major role. I told my worship leader more than once. I said, now be careful. The only one ever got kicked out of heaven is a worship leader. So just make sure you live right. And so I'm going to, at Luke 10, I'm going to show you this. And so one day this Lucifer got lifted up in pride. Because there's beauty in everything else. And he said, I will exalt my throne above the throne of God. What is he saying? My authority above God's authority. So since the enemy, the devil, now we know as Satan, could not defeat God, his only recourse is to defeat the image of God. He couldn't defeat God, so I'll attack his image. And that's us. Those who are born in the image of God. God said, let us make man after our likeness and after our image. So Satan couldn't defeat God. So he's going to continue to attack the image of God. So chapter 10, verse 17 again, it says, Let me return with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to your name. And he says, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and upon scorpions, and upon scorpions and over all the powers of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you. So he said, I give you power over all the powers of the enemy. So you're not a powerless people. If you're born again today, you've got power. You have power. What's the power, Pastor Ken? The name? The name? Not Ken Harbaugh. I've never got anybody healed by the name of Ken. I've never got anybody healed by the name of anything else but the name of Jesus. I'm no match physically for the enemy, but Christ in me is the hope of glory, according to Paul's writings in Colossians. Christ in you, the hope of glory. So when you see this, you do have power. So Jesus said, when they came back all excited, you know, you just read it, it's like one verse after the other, even the demons are subject under your name. And Jesus said, yeah, I saw him fall like lightning. It's almost like a squirrel statement, you know? It's like, we're that random statement. And that's not what he was saying. They came back so excited. If you've ever been used of God and you got so excited that God used you and God flows through you, you get so excited. My God, God used me to speak to this person. God used me to touch this person. God used me to bring life to this person. And you can't wait to come back and give something we call testimony. And you're so excited about giving the testimony how good God is. And so they came back so excited about what was happening, it got Jesus excited. That's what happened here. Did you see that? They come back and said, 70 of them. I don't know how long it took for 70 of them to testify. I don't believe they had one spokesperson that said, you speak for all of us. You speak for all of us. And this spokesperson says, it says, we're all excited, Lord, that even the devil came out in your name. Well, thank you. I knew he would. No, they got excited. They kept talking about the testimony. Then Jesus got excited and erupted. He said, I know it worked. I was there when he fell from heaven. I know the devil's defeated. I was there when he was kicked out. They got Jesus excited. He started testifying. That's what it's about. He started testifying. I'm saying, this past week, God has really begun to deal with my life. I started a new series at the church Wednesday before I flew here Thursday on the keys of the kingdom. And this is all about the name of Jesus and how that name brings life and healing to people. And my heart is so moved by seeing people touched, by seeing people touched. I was in the villages of Kenya. And I kept seeing people bring these babies that were sliced, sliced, almost symmetrically here and here. I thought they were just tribal marks. And I began to ask the Kenyan pastor I was with, I said, is this from a special tribe? They said, no. These people take them to the witch doctor. And these were babies that had the problems and the witch doctor slices them to let out these evil spirits. And it's not working. And I've held those babies. And I've watched the power of God come down and bring healing and bring wholeness to these children. When we talk about bringing hope to the hopeless, silver and gold, I have none. I can come with millions of dollars from the U.S., but it's not going to fix your life. But I come today with one thing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Rise up and walk. And I've witnessed the goodness of this name. For me to preach this fervently, just based upon a scripture I've never seen demonstrated. I don't know how well I would do. But I've watched this change lives around the world. My daughter at two years old, I got three minutes. My daughter at two years old choked because she's the one who just turned 36. I know it's hard to believe I got a daughter at 36, but I know. My daughter, two years old, choked on candy. And she died in my arms. So I told you now how it worked out. You already know how old she is. And I couldn't get it dislodged. And I couldn't get her back. She turned purple, and she'd done lost all her bodily fluids. I tried to call 911. It didn't exist, but the emergency number. I could hear the ambulance, but I could not. It was so far, and I picked her up, put her in my car, and I knew I'd never make it. I laid her back down, and I was doing CPR. And I just sat back, and I did all I could do. And I said, this word I preach, I believe. I know you're real, and you're real today. And I watched life come back into my baby. I watched life come back into my baby. A few years later, she started having seizures from that lack of brain activity. And they kept telling me if she can go two years without a seizure, her brain will be reprogrammed. And it seems like I get to that two-year mark, and she'd have another one. Just right before that two-year, and I begin to say, my God, this is not right. This is not your will for her. I've watched you demonstrate power throughout this world, and I'm not going to allow my daughter to settle for anything left in your touch. And she quit having seizures, but then she started having these other things like a trance type thing, not a verbal trance, but a shaking. I was in Kenya one night, and I got a call and said, Brittany is, we can't get her out of it, she's just shaking. And the people that were with me said, well, let's just pray. I said, no, I can't pray. I've got to get my emotions off of this fear. And I walked out into this dark, dark night. And I prayed until that fear lifted, because I wasn't going to pray out of fear. I got my heart fixed off of fear. And I began to pray in the name of Jesus, 9,000 miles away, and in the name of Jesus, I call my daughter healed. For me to say that name doesn't work. I can't do it. And today, whatever needs you have, it's that name today that's going to deliver you and bring you out. Would you stand with me? In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. If I had time, I'd just break down this name. I don't know what your belief system is, but if you are not ashamed of it, I'd just like for you to lift your hand. Lifting hands is nothing Pentecostal or whatever. David said in Psalm 63, I lift my hand unto the Lord, and that's David. I don't know what you're facing or what your children are facing or grandchildren are facing. I don't know the struggles that you're facing. What I do know today, there's a name above every name, and that's that name. God will move up on your situation. And as we exercise that name, it brings Him, Jesus, present. That name. That name. That name brings Him present. That name brings Him present. That name. That name. By that name, I decree you healed. It doesn't matter what diagnosis, what the doctors say they can or can't do. That name stands supreme. I want to pray. I can call you all to the front, and I can lay hands on all of you, but I've stood in crusades where hundreds of people gathered around in front of a crusade platform, and I've watched God's miracles begin to transpire and people delivered by me standing on the platform just speaking the name. So I stretch my hands over you, and I say in the name of Jesus, the name above every name, by that name, sickness, disease, any evil spirit, the torment from discouragement, from depression, to suicidal thoughts, I release that name over you and over your life. I release that name into your families. I release that name into your situation. And I call for you in the name of Jesus to be made whole. To be made whole. Nothing missing. Nothing broken. Wholeness. In the name of Jesus. Let's say it together. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. I say thank you for being here. For touching me. For bringing life to me. For bringing healing to me. I thank you for your name. Amen. I want to pray for Pastor John and for Adriana this morning. I prayed for leadership, for me to do his half, but I just really felt I wanted to do that with a human service. And, uh... I see the heart and the desire as they leave fellowship. And I believe sometimes we wonder, God, take me to that next place. Take me to that next place. Show me that next place. And today I have that in my heart. That if the Bible is true, that if God takes us from glory to glory, that which you have seen and that which people have seen in you, they're going to start seeing that next dimension. Of that next place. I say that publicly. If you're in this sanctuary, downstairs, or wherever you're ministering at, it's a next level anointing. It's a next level touch. It's a next level manifestation. And so that's the word. It's going to be a next level anointing. A next level touch. It's a next level touch. And I pray for you before heaven and before the people that you lead. Decreeing the manifestation of the power of God. Father, in the name of Jesus, I anoint thee. I anoint you for the next level. As the man of God, the anointing of God, that you have blessed and authority. And that you have placed them over their lives. And that which you have placed them, the people you have placed them over. I thank you for this next level. I thank you for the spirit of revelation. That he will know and operate by greater knowing. A greater revelation. I thank you, Father, for your gifts. The gifts of the Spirit. The gifts of the Spirit, Father. I thank you that they'll become, they'll become so available. And they'll flow so freely. I thank you that these two walk together as one. As the leadership team stands behind them. As the church stands behind them. Their pull upon their gift. And them praying and standing for their man and woman of God. Things will happen and transpire. God, I thank you for this church. For the love that we have felt while we've been here. And for every family represented. At CCI Fellowship. I thank you that it's one family. One family. One family doing one thing. Serving our God. Living their life free. Under your name. Amen. Amen. Next level. Next level. I want you to pray that over them. Every time you pray, you begin to pray. God, I thank you. That the pastors you've put over CCI Fellowship. I thank you that there's another level. It's the next level. Seeking for them what they have done in the past. What they've done in the past has been great. It's brought us to this point. I've said before, the thing that got us here may not get us there. But now, that which God puts in us won't just get us here. But it's going to get us to that next level. And that's what I say, amen. In the spirit of my heart, amen. Thank you. Amen. Hallelujah. Thank you, pastor. Thank you for blessing us, for speaking the name of Jesus. It's a powerful, powerful name. It doesn't have to be complicated. It's just powerful. Thank you for listening to this week's podcast.
