TOPIC โจ USING HIS NAME WITH AUTHORITY โจ
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it(John 14:13-14).
When you study the words of the Master in the scripture above, you'll realize that He was referring to using His Name with authority; doing great works in His Name. He was emphasizing the power and authority vested in His Name, making it clear to us that this authority is effective in bringing about any desiredresult. Hallelujah!
Letโs examine those words a bit more: first, He said, "If you shall ask anything in my name...." To ask here means to demand something. The Lord Jesus was referring to situations where you demand that something should happen in His Name. At such moments, He says, "I will cause it to happen." What an assurance! This is a demonstration of the authority we have in His Name.
An example of this can be found in Acts chapter 3, where Peter and John encountered a man who had been crippled from birth. Peter simply used the Name of Jesus with the understanding of the authority that it wields. He understood what Jesus meant when He said, โAnd whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do...โ(John 14:13).
As a result, Peter demanded healing for the man who was crippled from birth. The Bible says, โAnd he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising Godโ (Acts 3:7-8). This is precisely what Jesus was talking aboutโusing His Name with authority.
Recall what He said in John 10:25, ..I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me."*_ He commissioned us to do the same in His Name. We have the authority to speak to anything in His Name and have a miracle. You can speak to broken bones, blind eyes, and every challenging situation in His Name, and thereโll be a change. Glory to God!
When you speak in His Name, Heโs present with divine power to ensure that your words come to pass. He guarantees the results. This is the authority we've been given; itโs power beyond this world; power to change circumstances in His Name. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the authority in the Name of Jesus. As I speak and act in His Name, every situation aligns with your will. Sickness, disease, poverty and every contrary condition bow to the Name of Jesus. I walk in this authority, manifesting your power in every area of my life, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Acts 3:6-8 NKJV
Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted [him] up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with themโwalking, leaping, and praising God.
Philippians 2:9-10
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
John 14:13-14 AMPC
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 extolled in (through) the Son. 14 [Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].
