In Jesus' Name
John 14
 |
| I pray blessings on you as you read. |
(v. 12-14) "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. An I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."
My Thoughts
Jesus says that we can ask for anything in His name, and He will do it. So what does it mean to ask in His name? If you're thinking of how a lot of people, myself included, end their prayers with "In Jesus's name, amen," that is not quite right. You can pray about anything, even to die like Elijah did, but ending it with "In Jesus' name, amen" does make it so.
When we end our prayers with that, it is like a traditional thing, I think. We are praying to Jesus, or in Jesus. To actually pray for something in His name, your heart and your request need to be aligned with Jesus' heart. If your heart is not aligned with Jesus' heart, He is not going to do whatever you ask. If your request is not aligned with Jesus' heart, Jesus is not going to do it.
When you ask for something that will bring glory to the Father, that is when Jesus will do it. If we want Jesus to do what we ask of Him, we need to ensure that our hearts are aligned with His and that our request will bring glory to God. I won't give an examples here because that is really up to you to decide what it is you want to ask for.
I feel like this post is very short, and I cannot think of anything else to add. Just remember to keep your heart in line with that of Jesus. Remember that when you ask for something from Him, if you want Him to answer your request, make it a request that will glorify God.
