Walk Differently In The Name Of Jesus
When you walk in the name of Jesus, you aren’t just tagging a phrase onto a prayer or a worship song. You’re living under the authority, with the resources, and for the intentions of Jesus himself. That’s more than a spiritual catchphrase—it’s an identity-shaping truth. It means your life represents His. And if you carry His name, it matters how you move through the world.
Acts 3 paints a vivid picture of this truth in motion. Peter and John don’t offer money to a man who can’t walk. Instead, they give him something better: healing in the name of Jesus. “Get up and walk,” they say—not in their power, but His. That moment shows what happens when someone acts as an agent of Jesus, carrying His name, His heart, and His power. It also forces a tough question: What about when healing doesn’t come?
Jesus still heals. Sometimes He heals miraculously, right away. Other times, healing looks like peace in the middle of the pain. But even when healing doesn’t happen the way you hoped, it doesn’t mean Jesus isn’t good or powerful. It means you’re invited to live in the tension of trust—believing He can, and trusting Him even if He doesn’t.
So what can you hold onto as you walk in the name of Jesus?
Here are 5 truths to hang on to:
His name gives access – to His heart, His power, and His promises.
His name authorizes you – to bring His love, compassion, and hope into broken places.
Healing is part of His nature – but not always in the ways or timing you expect.
Faith is not a formula – it’s a relationship built on trust, not guaranteed outcomes.
Walking in His name means walking with Him – even when the road includes pain or unanswered questions.
