TO THE BIBLE
John 14:13-14
“And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

LET’S TALK
I want you to observe very closely the words of the Master in our opening verse today. Notice He didn’t say, “Whatsoever you shall ask me in my name, that will I do.” Rather, He said, “Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name.” There’s a crucial difference here. You can’t ask Jesus something in the Name of Jesus. Instead, you pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus.

Praying to Jesus in the Name of Jesus is praying without understanding. Some pray this way without seeing results because they approach prayer with a religious mindset and not the understanding of what Jesus taught. When Jesus said, “Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,” He meant that whenever you make a demand or declare something in His Name, He will make it happen. It’s about exercising the authority that His Name represents. In Acts 3:1-16, we see a practical demonstration of this by Peter and John when they encountered a beggar who had been lame from birth. In verse 6, Peter said to him, “…Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.”

Peter didn’t pray to Jesus. He spoke to the man in the authority of the Name of Jesus. Peter then took the man by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately, the man’s feet and ankle bones received strength. He jumped up, stood, and began walking, leaping, and praising God. Hallelujah!

Afterwards, Peter explained and said to the people: “By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.” (Acts 3:16 NIV).

Peter and John were demonstrating exactly what Jesus taught in John 14:13-14. They used the authority of Jesus’ Name to perform miracles, signs, and wonders.

GO DEEPER
Acts 3:12-16; Philippians 29-11; Mark 16:17-18

PRAY
Dear Father, I thank you for the power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus to effect changes. I exercise that authority to establish your will in the earth and in the lives of men. I pray today that people everywhere will experience the goodness of God, for indeed the whole earth is filled with your goodness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
