Access Code

UV 3598/10000. Access Code Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124 The uni-verse declares that our sole confidence is in the name of the Lord. For He is the Maker of heaven and earth and as such, knows what we need, has all the resources of heaven and of earth to help us in our current challenge. The Psalm speaks of the challenge of human adversaries rising against us. It also speaks of natural disasters like a flood or torrent though the torrent and raging waters are also a metaphor for overwhelming problems we confront. It also speaks of spiritual attacks or challenges. Our reliance is not on our own limited wisdom or strength. It is not on our friends or associates or network. When we pray in the name of the Lord, we become His responsibility to protect and prevent us from being a prey to the hunter. We are as vulnerable as a bird that a fowler, or one who hunts and traps birds, is aiming to capture. The Lord will enable us to escape from such traps. The Lord will enables us to break the snares of the enemy of our souls. Sometimes, He raises other humans to help us. Sometimes, He sends angels to our rescue but at all times His eye is upon us as we rely on Him. The Lord will help us with the infinite resources of heaven and the abundant resources of earth. There is no limit to the ways in which He can help us. In fact, the third member of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit is with us as a great Helper. He is also a Counsellor and Comforter. He helps us discern what we should say or do in particular crisis situations. Jesus is the name that connects us with God in heaven, the Father and God on earth, the Holy Spirit. We are given permission to use His name to summon angels to our help. We can pray in His name asking for our every need. We can command powerful forces in His name. We can claim the promises of God in His name. The promises are the key to access the heavenly as well as earthly resources. We can claim and command healing and deliverance in His name. The name of Jesus is like a password, a bridge, a touchstone of our lives. We need to set our love upon His name. His name is most honoured in both heaven and on earth. Whatever we ask in His name, the Father hears and grants according to His will. Unlike our other access codes, it is not secret but is open to all to use.
