Amen!
There definitely is tremendous POWER in verbally expressing the name of JESUS, regardless of the situation at hand! Believe me, I speak from experience .....
Prior to receiving the wondrously indescribable baptism of the Holy Ghost, the evening before I took it upon myself to verbally order Satan to depart from my house, commanding him NOT to ever return. That very night I was awakened to confront the most hideous looking creature I've ever occasioned to see, right before my face as if it would devour me in the next instance. I was literally "frozen stiff," bathed in indescribable fear, incapable of uttering one sound, albeit cognizant of the presence of my wife there beside me on the bed.
Then suddenly I heard a voice utter one word, and not only did the creature disappear instantly, but the calmness and serenity that seemed to fill the room was indescribable. Someone had simply said "JESUS"! After which I fell asleep again and awoke the next morning with a heart filled with joy!
The next night as I prepared to retire for the evening, it seemed as if the peacefulness and indescribable serenity I had experienced all of that day, was suddenly replaced with the fear that the horrendous looking creature I had seen the previous night would return to devour me. That is when I lay atop my bed and begin to seek God's divine protection. I prayed long and hard, and then the miraculous happened .... I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost!
And that is how I learned just how much POWER God has invested in His name!
