Written in Heaven
That statement within itself tells us that we do have power.
Well some may ask what kind of power.
The Bible clearly explains it.
Let's first understand that the word written means to be evident, be patient, show, stand out, visible, and etc.
We all know that Heaven is the eternal dwelling place of God, some may say paradise, next world, life everlasting, the kingdom of heaven, new Jerusalem, glory, goodness, mercy, etc.
Some may ask what does it mean that your name is written in heaven.
In the book of Exodus 32:32 Moses is speaking to the Lord when he says But now, please forgive their sin-but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.
So we must understand that there is a book that is written.
It is explain in the Book of Daniel that there is a book written.
In Daniel 12:1 it says At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise.
There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then.
But at that time your people-everyone whose name is found written in the book-will be delivered.
To answer your question as to what it means to have your name written in heaven look at the Book of Luke 10:17 it says Th seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.
He replied, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
There is a book written in heaven! It is also stated in the Book of Philippians 4:3 Yes, and I ask you, loyal yokefellow, help these women who have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
It is again mention in the book of Hebrews 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God.
You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven.
In the Book or Revelation it tells us at 21:27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
So we come to this conclusion, that if our name is written in heaven we will be delivered, we do not rejoice that the spirits submit to us, but we rejoice that our names are written in heaven, we are fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
What a Blessing and Honor from the Lord! For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
He has given us the authority, and to overcome all the power of the enemy; and nothing will harm us.
