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.

Never Lacking - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: Philippians 4:19 (NIV) - "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." Devotional: As Christians, we are called to live a life of faith, trusting in God's promises to provide for all our needs. The verse from Philippians 4:19 assures us that our God is faithful and will never let us lack anything we truly need. This promise is not limited to just physical needs, but it encompasses our emotional, spiritual, and relational needs as well. Life can be filled with uncertainties, challenges, and seasons of lack. However, the Bible encourages us to hold fast to God's promise of provision, knowing that He is our ultimate source of abundance and blessings. When we face trials or times of scarcity, we can turn to the truth of Philippians 4:19 as a reminder of God's unwavering love and care for us. As we apply this verse in our daily lives, we are called to cultivate a deeper trust in God. Instead of worrying about...

Please God With Your Life: Daily Devotional

And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters - (Genesis 5:21-22). What we study in our subject matter scripture tells you the kind of man Enoch was ; he was a prophet of God. He was the prophet of God who noticed the visio n and prescient of the Lord`s coming with ten lots of His saints: “And Enoch also, the 7th from Adam, prophesied of those, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten lots of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to persuade all which can be ungodly amongst them of all their ungodly deeds which they want ungodly committed, and of all their tough speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken in opposition to him” (Jude 1:14-15). Hebrews 11: 5 says, “By faith, ...

YOUR CONFESSIONS RULE YOUR LIFE: Daily Devotional

I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely and in Him I [confidently] trust! (Psalm 91:2 AMPC). Often we think of certain things that happened to some very "good" people and say, "If this could happen to such and such, what about me? That guy was better than me! Well, it has nothing to do with who is better than who. It has to do with your personal walk with the Lord and your faith in His Word. It has to do with your creeds. Bad things can happen to good people. Recall the anointed words of the psalmist that we read in our first passage of scripture. It was David's confession and it has to be your confession too. From time to time you say, “The Lord is my refuge and my stronghold; He is my God; In Him I lean and trust, and in Him I trust with confidence!" Learn the power and value of thinking well and speaking well. If you think wrong, it will be reflected in your words. And if your words are wrong, things will go...
