Name above every name

Ephesians 1:21-23
He is far above every ruler, authority, power, dominion, and every name that can be named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. God has put everything under the Messiah's feet and has made him the head of everything for the good of the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills everything in every way.

Do we really believe His name is above all names and therefore has rule, authority, power, and dominion over all things? I can't say I always do. I remember as a new believer, I was on fire for Jesus. I would see a situation, put it under the feet of Jesus, and pray with an authority by the power of the name of Jesus!

Why has that bonfire become more of a slow ember? Maybe you could say it's because of a sense of aloneness in my passionate pursuit? Maybe cases of feeling failure in a situation, not seeing what I prayed for coming about? Maybe just because it's easier to be lazy? Probably a little of all......

I feel like I'm suffocating at times because what gave me life, energy, and joy has been put to the way side in the attempt to have a comfortable life. I have traded the passion of following Jesus with fire in my heart for a life without conflict and confrontation. Am I alone in this? I don't think so....

Reading this passage today triggered something. Why did God put everything under Jesus' feet?

which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills everything in every way.

We are called to be the fullness of Jesus here on earth......we are to live out the life He lived.....we are unique creations of God.....not God but filled by God.....human but distinctly different from the fallen homo sapien or "Knowing Man"......we are homo divina! "Divine man"

I have a lot to think about........
