Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that AT THE NAME OF JESUS every knee should bow, of things in heaven, And things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“These signs shall follow them that believe; IN MY NAME shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;” (Mark 16:17)
“The seventy returned again with joy, saying, LORD, EVEN THE DEVILS ARE SUBJECT UNTO US THROUGH THY NAME.” (Luke 10:17)
When we pray we say “in the name of Jesus” because Jesus Christ already defeated the devil at the cross and the resurrection. Jesus came to expose the works of the devil and save us from our sins, but it is up to us to believe what He says and stop practising sin and serving the devil and to fight.
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” (Hebrews 2:14)

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” (Ephesians 1:7)
In the Bible God tells us hundreds of times not to fear and this too is part of spiritual warfare:
“Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, says the Lord.” (Jeremiah 1:8)
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)
“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28)
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” (2 Timothy 1:7)
“The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.” (Proverbs 29:25)
“I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.” (Psalms 34:4)
