Father Roger was just over five foot tall. A very spiritual priest, he was much involved in the healing ministry, exorcism and visiting prisons and mental hospitals. He told me that one day he was walking down the corridor of a mental hospital when around the corner came a huge man–well over six foot tall and three hundred pounds. He was bellowing out blasphemies and was rushing straight for Roger brandishing a kitchen knife.
Roger stopped and said, “In the name of Jesus, drop the knife!”
The man halted. Dropped the knife and turned and walked away as meek as a lamb.
It’s a reminder that the name of Jesus has power in the spiritual realm. We repeat the holy name at the center of our rosary prayer, and should do so with a pause and a bowed head. This is the heart of the prayer: an invocation of the holy name.
The holy name should be used for every kind of deliverance prayers. When you are tempted, invoke the holy name. When you are under a cloud, invoke the holy name. When you are being attacked, invoke the holy name.
Remember that the name “Jesus” means “Savior” so call on him when y0u need to be saved!
Also remember that the names of saints are powerful. Call on your patron saints by name. The devils hate the holy names of Jesus and Mary. When an exorcist casts out a demon he always demands the name of that demon. That’s because the named demon must respond to the holy name of Jesus when it is uttered by a priest giving the command of deliverance.
It was through the name of Jesus that the apostles obeyed Christ’s command to take authority over the demons and it is through the holy name of Jesus that we prevail in spiritual warfare today.

All. O Lord Jesus Christ, You have said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened to you." Grant, we beg of You, to us who ask it, the gift of Your most divine love, that we may ever love You with our whole heart, in word and deed, and never cease praising You.
Give us, O Lord, as much a lasting fear as a lasting love of Your Holy Name, for You, who live and are King for ever and ever, never fail to govern those whom You have solidly established in Your love. Amen.
Save
This is most assuredly true.
The name of the Lord is a mighty strong tower. The righteous run therein and are safe. His name is above all other names for at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and tongue confess that He is Lord.
For there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. His name shall be called Jesus for he shall save His people from their sins.
It’s not pronouncing the word Jesus in English, Spanish, French, Latin or Hebrew that’s important. It is the concept of who the man Christ Jesus is. Why He came to earth, what he accomplished in approximately 30 short years.
It is his essence and deed that is referred to when we say the memory of HIs name. Jesus, Lord of all creation.
Needed instruction and great reminders. Thank you.
There was a neat story on Fr a few years back, by a freeper who had an experience very similar to the one above. In fact, the whole thread was full of incidents. I printed it out and saved it somewhere.
I absolutely adore the name of Jesus. I wish I new Him better and the fellowship of his suffering. I can think of no one in History who has meant more to man. And no one who was more thoroughly misunderstood.
