HALLOWED BE THY NAME, 2
He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’” Luke 11:2-4 WEB
God is One, as well as His holy name, YHWH. Everything happens in heaven only in God's name. Nothing there is, in heaven or will ever gain entrance into the courteous courts of the Most High God, His sweet presence comes in its own personal name. No one! Works and ministries, tasks and missions are all undertaken in God's One Name. Even for the Twenty-four elders as written in Rev 4:10, they come to nothing casting off their crowns, goodnesses and righteousness before His throne that they might find space to minister to God. "Their seas will see and flee; their Jordans will observe and jerk back" Ps 114:1-8. Simply put, no other name is acceptable or admissible in heaven. You know, this was why dragons were vehemently fought back, conquered and cast out of heaven - each of them wanted a name, if not for an achievement, at least, for a remembrance. But they lost and were unable to continue their enterprise because at first, they were fractionated and denominated, forming themselves into parties - satans, serpents, ancient ones and devils, etcetera. No wonder, they lost out so quickly. And God saw no need for them any more in heaven, for each was projecting its own name and were not even fighting for their parties - Rev 12:7-12.
No name is strong enough to stand or make to stand but God's holy name. Hosts and angels in heaven bearing God's name, all patiently wait on Him all the time to be empowered for any delivery - small or big. No one dares venture into any work without being thoroughly filled, imbued or used by God. Else, he's counted an abomination!! Having test-failed the Dragon and his angels, the use of One name and account God ensures, not because He wants to be Bossy or act Superior but for the wholesomeness and oneness, peace and unity with which heaven is created.
