" WHAT EVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME(JESUS),THIS I WILL DO, THAT THE FATHER MAY BE GLORIFIED IN THE SON. IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT." [JN.14:13-14]
This is more than a phrase, not just something we tack on at the end of a prayer; we present our request on the Basis of all that Jesus IS,so boldly accept and expect those request to be granted.How many times do we say to ourselves I hope he will answer that prayer? Not realizing that the name JESUS guarantees that these prayers will be answered. They have all the power and authority we will ever need, don't let yourself be robbed of the power in Christ words.Read Jn.17 and understand who we are in Jesus. Heb.2:1,8,10,14; V.14 says He rendered him (devil) powerless!!!!And He gave this authority to us (those who believe,trust and faithfully walk in His Word) the word POWER is derived from the Greek word dynamis and exousia which means derived or conferred "AUTHORITY" ( Matt.21:22-27); from this it comes to denote concretely the BEARER of AUTHORITY ON EARTH. CHRIST HAD ALL POWER ON EARTH granted by his Father; and he gave it to His disciples and to the sons of God (Jn.1:12). I pray that this will encourage you and stir you into a deeper walk with the Lord........
In His Love, tom
Amen to all you have written.
