The Name Is the Key!
By Kenneth W. Hagin
The Name of Jesus is the key that will set you free.
Start walking in the authority that is yours by delegation,
and use the Name of Jesus to receive what belongs to you!
I have a key that unlocks the door of my car. I may say,
“I’m going to unlock the door,” but, really, it would not be me unlocking it.
The key unlocks the door! I am simply using the key!
I may put the key into the ignition and say, “I’m going to
start the car.” But the key starts the car. I simply insert the key and turn
it. Generally speaking, all the power in a car’s engine and everything in that
car hinges on that key.
There’s also a key in the spiritual realm, and without it,
we would get nowhere in life. That key unlocks the windows, doors, and
storehouses of Heaven. It unlocks power from on High.
This “key” is the Name of Jesus! Jesus is the Savior,
Redeemer, Mediator, Intercessor, Advocate, High Priest, and Lord Who stands
between us and the Father. And He’s given us His Name!
The Scripture has something to say concerning the Name of
Jesus as the key.
In Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, He obtained the
key to our spiritual authority. Then He gave us the key. He gave us the
authority to do His works in His Name.
When Jesus appeared to John on the isle
of Patmos, He said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am
alive for evermore, Amen; and have the KEYS of hell and of death” (Revelation
1:18).
Where the Word of God says that Jesus
had possession of “the keys of hell and of death,” it is not talking about death as the
cessation of life. It’s talking about spiritual death.
The last enemy that is going to be put underfoot (it has not
happened yet) is the cessation of life, which is natural death (1 Corinthians 15:26).
So in Revelation 1:18, Jesus was talking about holding the
keys of spiritual death.
In other words, through Him, spiritual death could no longer
have dominion over those who accepted Jesus as Savior and received eternal
life.
Do you realize that the one who holds the key has the authority?
By way of illustration, I have a key in my possession that
can unlock every lock on our ministry campus. It’s called the grand-master
key. I have that key, and I have authority to use it any time.
But my authority extends beyond that. I have authority to
say which employees may use the key, and I have the authority to give a copy of
the key to whomever I please.
In other words, I have authority to use the key, and I have
authority to delegate authority to use the key.
We know that Jesus has all power and authority in Heaven
and earth (Matthew 28:18).
But what did Jesus do when He conquered the enemy? He gave
you the key. He delegated authority to you and me.
He gave the “key” to us, His Church. What is the key?
The key is the Name!
17 And these signs shall follow them that
believe; IN MY NAME shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new
tongues.
18 They shall take up serpents; and if
they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on
the sick, and they shall recover. MARK 16:17–18
We have authority in His Name.
What are we commanded to do in that Name? Cast out
devils,
heal the sick, and receive whatever the Word promises us.
The power to do these things is in the authority that is in
the Name—the Name that is recognized in three worlds (Philippians 2:10; Revelation 5:13).
At the Name of Jesus, angels stand at attention; humanity
falls prostrate; and demons tremble like a leaf in the wind.
Why do people bow in reverence to the Name of Jesus?
Why do angels recognize and reverence that holy Name?
Why do demons shudder in fear?
Because Jesus was given a Name that is above every Name, and
at that Name, every knee shall bow! (Philippians
2:10–11)
Let’s look at another passage in which Jesus told the
disciples to “go ye . . .” in the power, or authority, that had been given to Him!
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME IN HEAVEN AND IN EARTH.
19 GO YE THEREFORE, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
19 GO YE THEREFORE, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the
end of the world. Amen. MATTHEW 28:18–20
Some people ignorantly say that healing has been done away
with. They say that tongues have already ceased and that the Church does not
have any authority.
Now let me ask you a question. If that
is so, then why should we obey Matthew 28:19, which says, “Go ye therefore”?
Why carry a key around in your pocket if that key is
useless—if it does not unlock anything?
When I leave town by plane, none of the keys I ordinarily
carry are of any use to me. I take them out of my pocket and put them in my
briefcase, because it would not do any good to carry them while I’m in another
city.
Why should I clutter my pockets with a “useless” set of
keys, since there are not any keys on my key ring that would unlock anything in
the city I’m visiting?
For example, I could fly to Atlanta from Tulsa and find a
car identical to the one I own. It could be the same make, model, year, and
even the same color. But my car key will not work on that car. My key is
useless as far as that car is concerned.
So if the Church does not have any spiritual authority
today, as some people claim, then those keys that Jesus retrieved are useless,
and He wasted His time telling us to “go ye therefore” in His Name!
But, no! The Name of Jesus works anytime, anywhere! We have
the Name of Jesus, and the Name is the key to the spiritual authority that we
possess in Him.
The Name is unlike any other key you own, so be sure to hold
on to the Name wherever you go, because that key works anytime, anywhere.
The authority in the Name of Jesus has not been done away
with. There is still salvation; there is healing; there is prosperity; there is
the power of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. The Name of Jesus still
holds all the power that it ever did.
How do we exercise the authority Jesus gave us in His Name?
We have to say something! We have to speak God’s Word.
We have to say, “In the Name of
Jesus, I have the victory. In the Name of Jesus, every demon, every sickness,
every bit of poverty, and anything with a name that’s hindering me has to flee,
because it is all under the authority of the Name that’s above every name!”
It’s time we realize what belongs to us and then march out
boldly like Peter and do the works of Jesus. Peter knew what he had in the Name
of Jesus. He had the authority to tell a crippled man to “rise and walk.”
At the Gate called Beautiful, Peter said to the lame man, “Such as I have give
I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk!” (Acts
3:6)
Notice that Peter did not say, “In the name of Church, rise and walk.”
He didn’t say, “In the name of
Preacher So-and-so . . . .”
Peter said, “In the Name of Jesus, rise and walk!”
God exalted Jesus when He raised Him from the dead,
victorious over death and hell.
Now Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, far
above all other authorities and powers.
God conferred upon Jesus the highest Name.
Jesus, in His resurrected body, is seated at the right hand
of the Father.
But Jesus left us His Name. His Name with all its power,
authority, might, and dominion is ours today.
Let us start using it to rule and reign over all the works
of the enemy!
