SPEAKING THE POWER OF PRAYER

SPEAKING THE POWER OF PRAYER

Words are the most powerful thing in the universe, especially when you are praying.

When God created heaven and earth, he did it by speaking it into existence with words.

It worked by using the spoken word or because of words.

When we pray, God always hears our prayers. Does God always answer prayers? I pray he does.

If you said no to that, we are going to have some exciting word today on this very subject.

John 16: 23-24   ²³ And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

What day was He talking about? The day he ascends and is seated at the right hand of the father.

Jesus said to ask the Father in His name. there is not any other way. This gives glory to God the Father.

However, we are to tell Jesus how much we love Him and appreciate Him. But when it comes to praying and asking we must ask the Father, through the Lord Jesus, or in his name.

We as believers have the name of Jesus to access everything in Heaven and on earth that God has made available for us.

Ephesians 3:14-16   ¹⁴ For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁵ Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

¹⁶ That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

It is not so important to what church you belong. But it is important to whose family you belong.

People know about praying to God, but they know nothing of praying to the Father. Many don’t sound as if they really know Him.

He is God to the world, but heavenly father to the believer. There is real joy in knowing that the father will answer our prayers.

John 16:24   ²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Have you asked nothing in my name? That is a question.

Ask and ye shall receive that your Joy may be full.

Nehemiah 8:10   ¹⁰ Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Joy has to be maintained even before the manifestation comes, (before you receive what you ask for.)

Ephesians 5:20   ²⁰ Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Paul is telling us that it is to the father and not to Jesus that we give thanks. The name of Jesus is the access to the heart of the Father.

Using the name of Jesus at the end of your prayer is the same as giving an attorney authority to use your name, it is called a power of attorney. That is what the name of Jesus does for us.

We have the name of Jesus to unlock the power over the devil, sickness and disease as well as poverty. We use it over our household and our children.

If a person was going to his car to unlock the door, he would say that he unlocked the door. But he really didn’t the key actually did the unlocking.

The key does the work. The key starts the ignition, the key is the whole power in the actions taken.

The point I am making is the name of Jesus is the key to the possible. Nothing is impossible in the name of Jesus.

The name of Jesus belongs to you the believer. You must use it according to the word.

Stay in the word,

Brother Andy.
