Anyone who knows me, knows I am not a math major.
I do however know one equation that works.
The Bible tells us that Jesus is the name over every name.
Philippians 2:9 (NIV) says this;
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
Not just some names, but every name.
This is not to say that by using His name there will not be struggle.
There will always be that. Scripture says that too.
But if we have Jesus in our hearts, and truly seek Him in our lives,
He will begin to heal those things inside of us that we cannot reach.
We may never have complete healing here on earth because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:15-17 (NIV) tells us so.
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
What IS available to us is a peace in our heart that only God can give us.
Even when our lives appear to be in an avalanche of pain and confusion,
We can rely on this equation;
Jesus, is the Name above Every Name –
And here is what that equation looks like –
JESUS

The name of Jesus reigns over all.
God created you.
God knows you.
God loves you.
God HATES the pain you’re in.
God asks that you come to Him through His son Jesus Christ,
So that He can give you the kind of peace that passes all understanding.
Philippians 4:7 (ESV) says it like this;
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This kind of peace the world only dreams of, but cannot manufacture.
The peace the world gives is shallow and temporary, a cheap knock off.
Peace that weathers all the storms?
Now that is Significant.
If you have not had a Significant Encounter with Jesus,
But would like to,
Please click the “Rescue” tab at the top of this page.
He is waiting for that Encounter to give you His peace.
