NAME RECORDED
When the seventy returned from ministry, they excitedly told Jesus
“even the demons are subject to us in Your name” [:17]. Jesus
responded that He saw “SATAN FALL FROM HEAVEN” [:18]
and that He has given us authority “OVER ALL THE POWER
OF THE ENEMY” [:19]. Then Jesus cautioned,
“NEVERTHELESS DO NOT REJOICE IN THIS, THAT THE
SPIRITS ARE SUBJECT TO YOU, BUT REJOICE THAT
YOUR NAMES ARE RECORDED IN HEAVEN” [Lk 10:20
NAS]. Even though we have been given authority over all
“POWER OF THE ENEMY”, we are not to rejoice about it.
Rather rejoice that your name is recorded in heaven. The other
choice God stated in one specific situation, “I WILL WIPE OUT
OF MY BOOK THE NAME OF EVERYONE WHO HAS
SINNED AGAINST ME” [Ex 32:33 CE]. Praise God your name
is recorded in heaven!
