John 16:23‭-‬24 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.  Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

Besides the access we have to the use of the name of Jesus Christ as a family name, and as a marital name by oneness with Christ, there is a 3rd reason.

Jesus himself gave us the POWER OF ATTORNEY to use his name in any situation. He said,

“Most assuredly, I say to you, WHATEVER YOU ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME HE WILL GIVE YOU.”

What is  this power of attorney and how does it work?

It is a legal instrument authorizing someone to act as the agent or representative of the other. It’s purely a legal term where the one doing the representation is called the Agent/Attorney and the one being represented is the Principal/Grantor. In principle, once the Attorney comes in the name of the Grantor, it is taken as the Grantor is there.

What this means is that: ANYTIME YOU PRAY AND DECLARE SOMETHING ‘IN THE NAME OF JESUS’, IT IS AS IF JESUS HIMSELF IS DECLARING THE THING. Your words now carry the potency and force as the words of Jesus; no wonder Jesus gave the assurance that WHATEVER YOU ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME HE WILL GIVE YOU. Wow! Beloved, have this thought in mind whenever you pray in His name and you will see situations aligning to the power of His name. Amen!

In prayer in His name, you have become Jesus’ Legal Representative; you have become Jesus’ Legal Attorney. Don’t lose sight of that. Hallelujah!
