Shalom ,

Psalm 138:1-2:

I WILL confess and praise You [O God] with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing praises to You. I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have exalted above all else Your name and Your word and You have magnified Your word above all Your name! AMP

"Magnified" here is the Hebrew word "gadal", which means: to promote, to be powerful, to praise, to evidence oneself as great, be significant, be valuable. We KNOW that Jesus was given the Name above ALL names! Look at Philippians 2:5-11:

5 Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:] 6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, 7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. 8 And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross! 9 Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, 10 That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. AMP

There IS no name, of anything that has a name, that is above the Name of Jesus! What a powerful, wonderful Name! AMEN! BUT, there IS something that is above that Name, and THAT is the WORD! John 1:1-4:

1 IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.  [Isa 9:6.] 2 He was present originally with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. 4 In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. AMP

He IS the Word! The Living Word of God! AMEN! So, find out what the Word has to say, then declare the Word IN, the Name, and watch HIM confirm what you declare with signs and wonders and miracles (Mark 16:20)! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "You":


Shalom in Him!
