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.
“IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT.” – Jesus
Either Jesus lied to us or we completely lack the understanding concerning what he said to us. I believe it’s the latter. And the day we grasp the understanding concerning what He said to us on the use of his name, we will become masters of the forces of life.
Note that Jesus didn’t add any condition to the use of His name. He didn’t say if you have faith, or if you fast for 21 days, or if you are prayerful enough. He said, “IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT.” Amazing.
What have we missed? You see, you don’t need faith for something you already have. When I hand over my computer to you, it becomes yours, and you don’t need faith to use it. But you do have a problem if you don’t know what a computer is and what a computer can do. You will be holding a powerful device in your hands and yet accomplish absolutely nothing with it.
In the words of Jesus, He has given us his name. Understand this Child of God:
When you were born again you were born into the family of God. In this family there are rights and privileges. One of the the privileges is THE USE OF THE NAME OF JESUS. But like that computer, until you know what it is and what it can do, it is as useless in your hands as though you never had it at all. Herein lies the problem for a lot of us. Which is why we need knowledge and understanding concerning the use of the name of JESUS. Praise God Forevermore!
