Weapon Of Spiritual Warfare~The Name Of Jesus

Jesus gave the church His Name. The Name of Jesus is above every name. At that Name beings in heaven, in earth, and under the earth must bow. See Philippians 2:9-11. 

Php 2:9  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
 
Php 2:10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
 
Php 2:11  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  

That Name is Dominion.

Before He was crucified, Jesus spoke to His followers of the soon coming day when He would give them the power of attorney to use His exalted Name. They would use it in prayer (See John 16: 23-24)

John 16:23  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. 

John 16:24  Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Jesus spoke of His followers doing the works that He did, and greater works, because He was going unto His Father.

In the next breath He said: 

John 14:13  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 

John 14:14  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 

After His death, burial, and resurrection, and before He ascended to sit down at the right hand of the Father, Jesus told His disciples to "Go...And Teach All Nations" (Matthew 28:19)

The gospel of Mark records the signs that would follow the believers as they carried out Jesus' orders:

Mar 16:15  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
 
Mar 16:16  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
 
Mar 16:17  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
 
Mar 16:18  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
