Gathered in Jesus’ Name

by Tim Davidson | A Verse A Day

“For where two or three have gathered together in my name, I am there in their midst.”

(Matt. 18:20 NASB)



Jesus has given us His name to use when we gather together. As you gather together with other Christians, are you aware of the fact that Jesus is there in your gathering? We must develop reverence and expectation concerning Jesus being with us as we gather together in His name. The potential and the possibilities are limitless.

The Message Bible says: “And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I’ll be there.”

Prayers are answered when we pray in Jesus’ name. God is worshipped in His name. People are healed in His name. Believers are filled with the Spirit of God in His name. Demons are cast out and people are set free in His name.

All the work of the church is to be done in Jesus’ name. The use of Jesus’ name advances the kingdom of God. Speak His name today and may God open your understanding to the potential of His wonderful name.

Today’s Thought to Take With You:

I am blessed to be part of the church that is using the name of Jesus to advance the kingdom of God.
