"Who were you named after?"

I don't really know who I was named after by my parents other than my last name which is Gulledge.




I can't think of any of my uncles or grand-parents or any other kin by the name Gary or by the name Wayne.



But for whatever reason my Daddy and Mama named me Gary Wayne Gulledge. I never wanted to change my name because it was given to me by my parents that I love.



Think about your given name just a moment, no matter what it looks like written or what it sounds like said; it belongs to you, it was given to you by those that loved you. It's a good name because it was given.



Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.



They shall call His name Jesus! His name means Jehovah-saved!



God chose to name is Son, "Jesus."



I really don't know who I was named after other than my last name. But I know that God named me after His Son, Jesus! I have been named after the name above all other names. That at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord to the glory of the Father!

• There is no weapon that is formed that can prosper against that name!

• Nothing shall separate us from the love of God that is in that name!

• Nothing shall by any means harm us because of that name!



"I have been given a name victorious over death, hell, and the grave!"



That name represents me and I have been given authority to represent that name to the uttermost part of the earth!



All that is in God is in that name! The name of Jesus! Devils still tremble at His name!



The sinner is saved through that name!

The sick are made well through that name! The lame walk, the blind see, and the dead are raised to life through that name!



And the poor and neglected and needy have the gospel of Christ preached to them through that name!



There is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved!



I've been named after that name! The name of Jesus Christ! I am in Christ and Christ is in me! Hallelujah! What a name God has given to us!
