about the nature of attributes of the individual.

Basically the name of Jesus will do anything you have faith for it to accomplish.
Works Miracles

This does not simply mean using the name of Jesus.

-
The name of Jesus gives life not because of the letters or the sound of

Source of Power & Authority

Again, the power and authority are not simply attributed to a random name,
but are the result of close association with the person who is the name.
A Source of Promise
John 14:13-14
John 16:23-24
The phrase, “In the name of Jesus,” has become trite and lacking in its
major significance.
-
Saying the words, “In the name of Jesus,” is not a requirement from God
in order to receive God’s blessing or assistance.
Those words are spoken as an assurance to men that we are not acting or
speaking on our own accord.
