15当我们在主耶稣的名里，我们就是在基督里，基督也在我们里面，我们与基督是一。当我们说我们是在主耶稣的名里行事，整个宇宙就受提醒，有人完全与基督是一。天使尊重这事，一切的鬼魔都惧怕这事。鬼惧怕任何人提说主耶稣的名。我们不仅提到这名，我们也提到我们是在主耶稣名里的事实。这样的宣告是很有意义的。我们若在主耶稣的名里作每一件事，就是得胜的。我们若不在祂的名里行事，就是失败的。我们应当能说，我们是在主耶稣的名里作我们日常普通的事，就如理发、买东西等等。我们若不能这么说，就必须知道，我们已经失败了。我们来聚会时，是在主耶稣的名里说话、行事；但我们在家中并在日常事务上，是不是在主耶稣的名里行事？实行在主耶稣的名里，对我们可能只是一种宗教的形式。歌罗西三章十七节说，凡我们所作的，都要在主耶稣的名里（李常受文集一九九○年第二册，五八九、五八七至五八八页）。
15When we are in the name of the Lord Jesus, we are in Christ, Christ is in us, and we are one with Christ. When we say that we are doing things in the name of the Lord Jesus, the entire universe is reminded that there are people who are absolutely one with Christ. The angels honor this and all the demons are afraid of this. The demons are afraid of any mention of the name of the Lord Jesus. We not only mention the name but also mention the fact that we are in the name of the Lord Jesus. To make such a declaration means a great deal. If we do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, we are victorious. If we do not do things in His name, we are defeated. We should be able to say that we do the ordinary things of our daily life, such as going to the barber shop or going shopping, in the name of the Lord Jesus. If we cannot say this, we must realize that we have been defeated. When we come to the meetings, we say and do things in the name of the Lord Jesus. But do we do things in our home and daily affairs in the name of the Lord Jesus? It may be that the practice of being in the name of the Lord Jesus is just a religious formality with us. Colossians 3:17 says that we must do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 2, “Messages to the Trainees in Fall 1990,” pp. 467, 466)
