All hail the power of Jesus’ name
Let angels prostrate fall
Bring forth the Royal Diadem
And crown Him Lord of all
Bring forth the Royal Diadem
And crown Him Lord of all
Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race
Ye ransomed from the fall
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace
And crown Him Lord of all
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace
And crown Him Lord of all
You are Lord of all
You are Lord of all
Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all
And crown Him Lord of all
And crown Him Lord of all

O God,
Let me proclaim Your power to this new generation,
Your mighty miracles to all who come
Psalm 71:18b NLT
Let me confess a couple of things before I get started:
-My blogs are about things God is showing and teaching me that I hope will touch you too.
-I went about writing this blog backwards—I started with an idea and God showed me the Scripture.
I was watching a video this morning and God thumped me upside the head and asked, “Are you paying attention?” I have included a link to the video (see below) but here is a brief outline:
Samuel Rodriguez is asked to pray at a secular event in Washington, D.C. When he arrives, he finds out a Universalist, an Imam, and a Rabbi have been asked to pray as well. He is given a choice where in the order he would like to pray…and chooses to go last. After he prays there is clapping for 4-6 minutes. When asked why the people kept clapping he states, “There is STILL power in the Name of Jesus!”
Do you proclaim Jesus’ power? Do you pray like you believe in His power?
This is where God was drawing my attention. I have not been praying like I believe in the mighty power of His Name. Then when I saw Psalm 71:18 I knew this was something I needed to research and write about.
Jesus Christ
- His is the Name above ALL names
- Angels fall prostrate at His Name
- Every knee shall bow at the Name of Jesus
- His Name causes the dead to rise
- His Name makes demons tremble and flee
- His Name gives sight to the blind, makes the lame walk and heals the sick
Best of all, Jesus’ is the only Name that can wash us white as snow and make us acceptable to God – “…by believing in Him you will have life by the power of His name” (John 20:31 NLT).
In Matthew 28:18 AMP, Jesus tells us, “All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” John 13:3 NIV says “…the Father had put all things under His power…” That is the ultimate power! We have been given access to that power. We are to use it when we pray and proclaim it loudly for all to hear so the next generation knows there is still power in the name of Jesus.
All hail the power of Jesus’ Name!

Lord Jesus, we are so thankful for the power of Your Holy Name. Remind us of that power continually so that we may use it to bring You glory and honor. May we lift our voices to proclaim how the power of Your Name is alive and at work in our own lives. In Your precious and Holy Name, I ask this. Amen – it is so!
