4 Ways the Name of Jesus Protects Your Family

Because of what Jesus did for you, you can exercise authority over the devil by declaring 4 Ways the Name of Jesus Protects Your Family.
If you were ever bullied as a child, you looked around for someone to protect you. When you found someone - a teacher, parent or guardian - you ran to them for protection. That person stepped in to take care of the bully for you.

This is exactly what Jesus has done for you. Jesus stepped in by coming to this earth, dying on the cross, and being raised from the dead to forever rescue you from the biggest bully there is – the devil. Jesus said, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning! Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you” (Luke 10:18-19). Because of what Jesus did for you, you can exercise authority over the devil by declaring 4 Ways the Name of Jesus Protects Your Family.

1. The Name of Jesus Saves Your Family

“They replied, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.’ And they shared the word of the Lord with him and with all who lived in his household.” –Acts 16:31-32

“There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” –Acts 4:12

When you believe on the Name of Jesus to be saved, you open the door for God to minister salvation to your whole family. Your stand of faith, your righteousness in Him, gives you access to God in the Name of Jesus to pray for your family. God’s desire is that all men are saved (1 Timothy 2:3-5).

You can take your stand of faith, believing God to open the eyes of your loved ones. Believe that they will turn from any darkness to light, from the power of Satan to the power of God (Acts 26:18). Don’t give up, because the “earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]” (James 5:16, AMPC). As you boldly declare how the Name of Jesus saves your family, watch God go to work in their lives.

2. The Name of Jesus Heals Your Family

“He sent out his word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death.” –Psalm 107:20

Healing has always been God’s will – for you, for your family, for everyone. When Jesus walked this earth, He was preaching, teaching, doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38).

There are a number of instances in the Gospels where Jesus healed family members. Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law while visiting their home (Mark 1:29-31). A royal official begged Jesus to heal his son (John 4:43-54). Jairus, a synagogue leader, pleaded with Jesus to heal his dying daughter (Matthew 9:18-26). Jesus raised a widow’s son from the dead (Luke 7:11-17). Jesus healed a man’s son who had an unclean spirit (Mark 9:14-29).

Just as Jesus ministered to the family members of those who asked Him, you can invite Jesus into the lives of your family members by speaking healing over them; declare that the Name of Jesus heals your family.

3. The Name of Jesus Delivers Your Family

“The name of the LORD is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.” –Proverbs 18:10

You can run to the Lord using His Name as a strong fortress for you and your family.

Keep in mind that the Name of Jesus is not an incantation that is repeated like the sons of Sceva did; they discovered quickly that would not work because they had no relationship with God (Acts 19). The powerful Name of Jesus is given to every believer to use as a reminder to the devil of what Jesus did for them at the cross, burial and resurrection.

Jesus told His disciples, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning! Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven” (Luke 10:18-20).

Whatever situation you find yourself in, wherever you and your family need deliverance, you can run to the Lord, calling on the Name of Jesus; He will rescue you! You will rejoice as you see the Name of Jesus deliver your family again and again.

4. The Name of Jesus Gives Your Family Peace

Jesus said, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” –John 16:33

The Name of Jesus means peace. Isaiah 9:6 says, “For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Jesus brings peace in the midst of storms. When Jesus and His disciples were crossing the Sea of Galilee, “suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, ‘Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!’ Jesus responded, ‘Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!’ Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm. The disciples were amazed. ‘Who is this man?’ they asked. ‘Even the winds and waves obey him!’” (Matthew 8:24-27).

Just as Jesus brought peace to the storm and to the disciples, He can bring peace into the stormy situations in your life. The next time your heart is racing and anxious thoughts begin to consume you, declare the Name of Jesus over the situation and allow the Lord to give you and your family peace.

Jesus prayed for you, that His Name would protect you, that you would know not only the 4 Ways the Name of Jesus Protects Your Family, but all the ways He protects you. He said, “Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are. During my time here, I protected them by the power of the name you gave me. I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for destruction, as the Scriptures foretold” (John 17:11-12). Every time you use the Name of Jesus, you enforce the devil’s defeat and give that bully no room in your family’s life!
