Pastor Dr. Arthor L. Faber uses the passage in Acts 4:13-18 which recounts the moment the Jewish ruling council (the Sanhedrin) interrogated Peter and John following the miraculous healing of a lame man. The apostles' power to heal did not come from magic or their own ability, but from the resurrected and exalted Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The "Name" represents His divine authority. Believers  speaking, praying, or singing this name invokes the presence and power of God for salvation, healing, and victory over spiritual darkness.

Pastor Gabriel Cordeiro  uses 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 that  Paul wrote to dispel ignorance and grief regarding death. He emphasizes that death is not the end for Christians; rather, deceased believers are merely "asleep" and will be the first to experience the return of Christ. He ends this section by commanding believers to "encourage one another with these words."
