The Name of the Lord is known by its power. The Name is power, that is the point. It is not a title, it is not a word, it is not a place. The Name means power, but this power is manifested on the ground of human weakness. We are going to find it increasingly necessary to know the power of the Name, we are going to have to deal more and more with the forces of evil themselves; it may be in men, it may be back of men, it may be apart from men. It may be those dark assaults of the enemy without any human intermediary or agency. However it may be, you and I are going to have to do primarily with the enemy, the spiritual realities, and whether they come through human instrumentalities or not, the fact is ultimately the testimony of the Lord has to be established there.
