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 ...

God knows You: Daily Devotional

“Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Jeremiah 1:4-5 (KJV) Ignorance of God's Word leads to unhappiness. No wonder God's children experience so much tribulation because they lack the knowledge of His Word (Hosea 4:6). The prophet Jeremiah needed to be encouraged and strengthened by the knowledge of God's word before he could muster enough courage to do God's will. Dear friends, God knows you better than you know yourself; He called you out of this world to be a Christian because He trusts you. Therefore, give up all excuses you make to the Lord and be determined to fulfill your mission on earth (Luke 14:18-24).He gave you a gift to bless the rest of the world. Surrender to Him, work with Him, meditate on His Word, and be ready to be used by Him whenever He will. Alleluia! be humble! ©️Copyright 2...

God's faithfulness - Daily Devotional

Good morning! Today's topic for our devotional is God's faithfulness. The Bible tells us that God is faithful and true, and that His promises are always kept. No matter what we face in life, we can trust that God will always be there for us, guiding us and providing for us. The Bible verse for today is found in Lamentations 3:22-23, which says: "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." This verse reminds us that God's love and faithfulness are never-ending. His mercies are new every morning, and we can trust in His steadfastness through every trial. As Christians, we can apply this truth to our lives in several ways. Firstly, we can trust that God will always be with us, no matter what we're going through. We can rest in the knowledge that He is faithful and true, and that He will never leave us or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6). Secondly, we can have con...
