My Favorite Name

Daily writing prompt
What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?

There’s a name I love to hear. The mention of that name gives me hope, peace, and encouragement. I love to keep that name in the middle of my heart and mind. That name did this for me: “By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.” (Acts 3:16) If you will open wide your heart to ponder and absorb the Bible verse John 3:16, the eternal one who goes by that name will do the same for you.

Keep your attention intensely focused day and night on Jesus, the Lamb of God who sets people free from the power of sin. (John 1:29) Let Him continually immerse you in and saturate you with His Spirit (John 1:34) so that His rivers of living water can freely flow from within your innermost being. (John 7:38)

Cast out everything that hinders you from being aware of, hearing, and obeying Jesus. (John 10:27) Boldly toss aside hardheartedness, superficiality, and self-focused desires and detractions. (Luke 8:11-15) Ceaselessly cultivate your heart to make it good ground so that you will daily hear what the Spirit is saying (Revelation 3:22) to you. Then the Living Word of God, (John 1:1-5) Jesus Christ, will take deep root, abundantly flourish within you, and produce an amazing harvest of supernatural fruit in and through your life.

The kingdom of God is to do what God says do and to go where God says go — to go, flow, and grow with the Spirit. You are sincerely invited to experience the jubilation of living as a faithful citizen of God’s kingdom.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
