OUR LEGAL AUTHORITY TO USE: Daily Devotional

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 anything in my name, I will do it (John 14:13-14).

When we say that Jesus gave us authority to use His name, many don't understand what that means. The term "power of attorney" refers to a legal power of attorney that gives a specific person authority to act on your behalf. Therefore, it means that every request

you make is as if Jesus were doing it, since you are doing it in His name.

The apostle John said in some of his writings: vividly captures the words of Jesus further clarifying the legal authority of given to us in His name. For example, in John 14:13-14 Jesus said, "And whatever ye ask in my name I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."

If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.” Here the Lord was speaking of claiming His name. This is extraordinary.

It's like what Paul tells us in Colossians 3:17: “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus…". There is another beautiful reference at John 16:23; says: "And on that day you will not ask me anything.

Verily, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father

on my behalf, he will give you."

When he said: "And on that day …” the Lord was referring to the day of the new deal, the day of salvation, which He came to complete. That day began with His resurrection. So we are in "that day" where we use his name and live in him. If you've ever wondered why we use the

Name of Jesus in prayer all around the world, here's why.

So use His name right now to make changes in your world. He told us we could and you should! Address the affairs of your nation, your physical body, your workplace, your school, etc. in His name and expect a change.

Dear Father, Thank you for giving me the authority to use Use the matchless name of Jesus to effect change and control circumstances.

In the name of Jesus I speak peace among the nations; I declare that the gospel has free rein in the nations of the world. I walk in victory and dominion today and always, for I live and do all things by power in Jesus' name. Amen.

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations. As you begin your day, consider the goodness of God in the light of your own life. Think about the moments when His goodness has been evident, whether through answered prayers, unexpected blessings, or moments of divine guidance. God's goodness surrounds us, and even in challenges, there is a purpose that unfolds through His love. In times of joy, acknowledge the goodness of God with gratitude. In times of trial, trust in His goodness, knowing that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Take a ...

He Answers Prayer: Daily Devotional

“In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.” Psalm 18:6 (KJV) The God we serve is a God who answers prayers. He knows our needs before we even ask Him for help. He instituted prayer after the downfall of mankind to give us the opportunity to fellowship with Him. No wonder our Lord Jesus Christ said that at all times we ought to pray and not give up or lose heart (Luke 18:1). The psalmist cried out to God in his distress, and God heard him and attended to his needs. Dear beloved, don’t wait till you get into trouble before you pray. Pray every day at least three times a day (Psalm 55:17). Prayer is fellowship with your heavenly Father; it is not always about asking God to meet your needs. Pray for your community and your nation so that the will of God will be established. Pray in faith based on the Word of God, and God will attend to you. Hallelujah! God bless you! ©️...

Walking By Faith - Daily Devotional

Verse: "For we walk by faith, not by sight." - 2 Corinthians 5:7 (ESV) Devotional: As Christians, our journey is one of faith. We are called to walk by faith, not by what we see or understand with our natural senses. This can be both a challenging and a rewarding path. Walking by faith means trusting in God's promises even when circumstances seem uncertain or difficult. It means believing that God's plan is greater than our understanding. Imagine walking in a dense fog, unable to see more than a few steps ahead. In life, we often face situations where we can't see the road ahead clearly. It's during these moments that our faith is put to the test. But just as a person walking in the fog relies on each step they take, we can rely on God with every step we take in our faith journey. The Bible tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It's like having a confident assurance in God's promises e...
