Why do exorcists or those who perform deliverance use the Name of Jesus?

October 2, 2018

Jesus Himself said that His disciples would use His name to drive out demons.  Mark 16:17 shows how Jesus made His Name our most potent weapon against demons and all othr spiritual strongholds of evil.  St. Peter says in Acts 4:12 that there is "no other name in heaven or on earth by which men are to be saved." When we use His Name, we act as ambassadors of Christ--in the same way that an actual ambassador acts in the name of his government, president or prime minister.
