I command that table to fall down, in the Name of Jesus Christ

The prophet said... Let's trace his name a little bit. The prophet said a... His Name would be called Emmanuel. Now, Isaiah said that, about the 7th chapter. And also in Matthew 1:23, said, "This was all done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 'His Name shall be called Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, "God with us."'"Emmanuel, and His Name was Jesus, God with us, with His Father's Name. He came in His Father's Name. There's where God placed His Name, in His Son. That's the only Place that you can worship Him. The only Place God will ever meet you, is in that Son which was typed by the sacrificial lamb. And all down through the Old Testament, all brought types of that one thing, that that place alone, God, alone met under the sacrificial blood. Only place He met, the only place is He meets today; it's not in the name of creed, or in a name of a denomination, name of a church, or name of a group, or name of a society, but in the Name of Jesus Christ.

  I tested that when I was a young man. I'd often heard of spiritualism, of the Devil, how he does things. And I knowed if there was a God, there must be a Devil, because the Bible said there was a Devil. And he, I thought... heard about these spiritualists. I went to some of them, found out they were phonies, nothing to it, just a big bunch of make-belief. But I found out there were some of them were real spiritualists.And I was at a camp one time, where a minister and I went to see them in there. They'd raised the table up from the floor, and had whiskey glasses setting over it; and taken that table, turned it back and forth, and a guitar flying through the building; people's clothes... Had had this up in the room, said, this medium said, "I challenge anybody to knock it down."

  Two men said, "I'll get it down." They grabbed it around the legs like that and tried to hold it. It wouldn't. Why, that table throwed them plumb across the floor. Don't you just set around. If you've never been a missionary and been on fields, only thing you know is just the thought of a Devil. If you look out here on some of these people walking around the streets, you can see him. But there is a Devil. Certainly is.
And people worship the Devil, don't even know what they're doing. They worship the Devil in churches, "Teaching for doctrine the commandments of men, creeds--creeds and traditions." I said...

  This woman hollered over to me and said, "They tell me you're a preacher."I said, "I am."
She said, "Then if you don't..." Said, "What do you think about this?"
I said, "It's the Devil."
And she said, "Well, then if you've got so much power, knock it down."
I said, "I don't have any power at all. I have no power, but I'm here representing One."
I said, "Lord Jesus, You said, in Saint Mark the 16th chapter 'In My Name they shall cast out devils.'" I said, "Now, that Your servant may know, as the battle lays before me," I said, "I command that table to fall down, in the name of the holy church," and it stayed right there. I said, "I command that table to fall down there, in the name of the 'Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,'" and it stayed right there. I said, "I command that table to fall down, in the Name of Jesus Christ," and like to have broke all four legs off, hitting the floor.

   "In My Name they shall cast out devils." That's the Name of the Father. He put His Name in Jesus Christ. And in Him He meets to worship. In Him He meets to cast out devils. In Him He meets to heal the sick. In Him He meets to save. In Him He meets to save, fill with the Holy Ghost. That's God's only Place to meet people for worship.Now, we find out that Jesus said also that... The word, Name "Jesus," means "Jehovah-Saviour, Jehovah the Saviour."
