The Name of Jesus in the prayer of a believer

Mar 11th

“And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in my name [as presenting all that I am], so that the father may be glorified and exalted in the son” – John 14:13 (Amplified Version).

“And when that time comes, you will ask nothing of Me [you will need to ask me no questions]. I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that my father will grant you whatever you ask in my name, [as presenting all that I am]” – John 16:23 (Amplified Version)

The Name of Jesus is a powerful key via which we, as Christians, can receive answers to our prayer. However, it is not just using the Name that makes it work. That’s why too many people use the Name and nothing comes forth. Such people make it seem as though the Name holds no power. It is using the Name with an understanding of the Name that causes the Name to work. Until you understand the power and authority in that Name, nothing works for you. You can shout the Name from morning to night and nothing will happen. A lot of Christians pray and at the end of their prayer, they say “in Jesus Name we’ve prayed”. Yet they don’t understand the Name. A gun will only shoot in the hands of a man who understands how to use it. If you don’t understand how to use a gun (knowing how to load it and cock it), it can never work in your hand no matter how you pull the trigger. So also, if you don’t understand how to use the Name of Jesus to fight the devil and get what you want, you will call the Name and nothing will happen.
