That Glorious Name - all that God is and does is represented in the Name of Jesus. When you ask in His Name, you present your requests to the Father on the credit of all that Jesus is. You can boldly expect to have those requests granted - not because you're worthy, but because He is. The Name of Jesus carries authority over all other names. Jesus didn't say to pray for His sake. He said to pray in His Name. God will answer and start expecting Him to cause every circumstance in your life to bow its knee in honor of that glorious Name

"And I will do — I Myself will grant — whatever you may ask in My name [presenting all I AM] so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in [through] the Son" - (John 14:13 AMP).


In Jesus' Name. 

It's more than a phrase we tack on to the end of our prayers. 

All that God is and does is represented in the Name of Jesus. 

The Amplified Bible says when you ask in His Name, you present your requests to the Father on the credit of all that Jesus is. 

So you can boldly expect to have those requests granted - not because you're worthy, but because He is!

What's more, the Name of Jesus carries authority over all other names. 

In Philippians 2:5-11, the Apostle Paul tells us, "God also hath highly exalted him [Jesus], 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."

In spite of all the Word of God has to say about the power of the Name of Jesus, most believers don't seem to put much stock in it. 

They'll pray in the Name of Jesus, then turn right around and say, "I sure hope God answers that prayer." 

They don't realize that if they only had the faith to believe it, Jesus' Name alone carries enough clout to guarantee their prayers will be answered.

They even let religious slang rob them of the power of using that Name. 

I've heard many well-meaning believers end their prayer with the phrase, "For Jesus' sake." 

But Jesus didn't say to pray for His sake. He said to pray in His Name.

I used to make that mistake myself. One night I was praying because I was suffering from a stomach ache. "Oh, for Jesus' sake," I prayed, "heal my stomach."

After I'd said that a few times, the Lord spoke up on the inside of me. 

Wait a minute, He said, "whose stomach is hurting here, Mine or yours?"

"Mine!" I answered.

Then He very plainly said, In that case, pray for your stomach's sake, in My Name!

Jesus' Name. 

Dig into the Word and find out just how much power and authority it really carries. 

Then use that power every time you pray. 

Stop "hoping." 

God will answer and start expecting Him to cause every circumstance in your life to bow its knee in honor of that glorious Name!

I Stand in Awe of You - Terry MacAlmon
lyrics
You are beautiful beyond description
Too marvelous for words
Too wonderful for comprehension
Like nothing ever seen or heard
Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom
Who can fathom the depth of Your love
You are beyond description
Majesty enthroned above

And I stand, I stand in awe of You
I stand, I stand in awe of You
Holy God to whom all praise is due
I stand in awe of You
