The power of attorney!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews
John 16:23
And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.
Jesus gave us the power of attorney, the right to use His name. The name of Jesus belongs to the body of Christ. As the name of a husband belongs to the wife, the name of Jesus belongs to us. The name of Jesus belongs to you just as much as it belongs to Jesus himself. Step out with that name!
When Jesus said this, He gave us a blank cheque with his signature on it. Jesus said, whatever you ask the Father in my name, He will give you. We have the right to use His name because that name belong to us just as much as it belongs to Him. Jesus gave you His name. The whole family of God in heaven and on earth is named with that name. Jesus expects you to use His name. Mark 16:17-18 says, "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Every believer has the right to use His name and have their prayers answered and enjoy the benefits of using the name. Proverbs 18:10 says, The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.
Friend, the name of Jesus, which is higher than all other names is yours. Unless you use it by faith, it won't help you. He gave it to you so you could use it and live a life of victory. Develop faith in the name by meditating on the scriptures that talk about His name and then begin to boldly use the name of Jesus in every area of your life. You have the right to use it because Jesus gave you the power of attorney. Jesus is Lord!
