A Name is a Reflection of Purpose

A name is a word or a combination of words by which a:
- person 
- place 
- thing 
- body 
- class 
- or any object of thought  
is designated, called, or known (dictionary.com)

A name is code for the longer explanation of why something or someone exist including:
- who
- what
- why
- when
- where
- how

Therefore a name is a reflection and a summary of purpose

purpose - the reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc. 
reason - a basis or cause, as for some belief, action, fact, event, etc
cause - a person or thing that acts, happens, or exists in such a way that some specific thing happens as a result; the producer of an effect (Dictionary.com)

Hence a name is a summary of purpose and purpose is a response to a cause (consider this video especially 1:45 - 3:05).  Let us reflect on the following statements from King Jesus:

"You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" John 14

"And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Mark 16

Why then when we believers call upon Christ Jesus name in all forms of expression including oral request do we not commonly see the fruit of miracles fully and consistently witness by Jesus disciples.  I believe it is rooted in the fact that our souls are not in alignment with Christ Jesus reason for existence.  Our lives must mirror the purpose of who Jesus is and how we fit in with his purpose.

At present I have many unanswered questions regarding the obtainment of the level of faith Christ Jesus stated we are to achieve.  However there are three facts I am confident believers must embrace in order to maintain the journey of our calling:

1) in order to fully activate the name of Christ Jesus, we must know our name.  For example a child cannot fully accept the love of his mother if he does not know or accept his name (purpose) as her son.  A woman cannot properly love her husband if she is not aware of her name (purpose) as a wife.  In the same likeness the people of God must know their name in order to activate the name of Christ Jesus.  Without a strong conviction of our purpose our spiritual work is in vein.  The name and ultimate call of a higher functioning believer is Immortal Master of Creation - Ruler over Demons

2) we must learn what prayer truly is and raise the practice of prayer to our highest priority

3) our prayer will cause us to explore scripture and will eventually guide us to embrace The Harp which is the instrument of our worship found in Revelations chapters 2 and 3

Rev 5:8, Re 8:3-5
