Thankful, Day Forty-Eight

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!

Serve the Lord with gladness;

Come before His presence with singing.

Know that the Lord, He is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,

And into His courts with praise.

Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

For the Lord is good;

His mercy is everlasting,

And His truth endures to all generations.

Psalm 100, NKJV

I bless the name of Jesus Christ this morning, for there is no other name given under heaven by which we can be saved. His name is a strong and mighty tower; the righteous run into it, and they are saved. His name bids the darkness flee, opens prison doors, sets captives free. His name is faithful and true. His name is higher than any other name, and at it demons tremble and obey. At His name, every creature in heaven, on earth and under the earth will one day bow in adoration of the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. His name is Jesus today, and that means salvation! All who call upon His name shall be saved, and will in no way be put to shame.

Thank you Lord for the power of your name in bringing salvation to my life. You extended your grace to me when I was in need, your favor and blessing to me as a gift that I did not deserve. You found me as a wretched and worthless sinner and said, "I'll save you anyway, because I want to." You washed me in the blood of Calvary's cruel cross, covered me with your limitless love, and blotted out the written accusation that had been leveled against me. You have saved me, and redeemed me, and called me by your name! I belong to you, and I am forever grateful.

Thank you Lord for the power of your name in bringing healing to my body and my heart. Again today I am in need of a touch; you can make my body work the way it is supposed to and fight off the sickness that threatens me, or you can supernaturally touch me and take the sickness away. Either way, you are my healer. By your stripes I am healed. By your Spirit I am quickened and brought again to life. By faith in your name I am made whole.

Thank you Lord for the power of your name in bringing deliverance to my enslaved soul. You came to bring liberty to the captive and sight to the eyes of the blind, to bring freedom to the oppressed and proclaim the time of God's favor. You break the power of cancelled sin, you set the prisoner free, so that no bonds can hold me, no power can break me, no demon or devil of hell can defeat me. No sin can conquer me, and nothing shall separate me from your love.

Thank you Lord for the blessings of your name that you have delivered to me.
