In His Name***

The Holy One calls to me this morning.  Out of the desperate needs that  can surface in each new day at the first light of my conscious awareness, His message this morning is compelling.  "Whatsoever you ask (of the Father) IN MY NAME, that I will do". 

That was a promise given and recorded for us by Jesus in John 14:13.

I  look for and find this definition of the NAME in my very important tool for understanding words and their meanings from out of the King James Version of our Bible and back to the Greek origin.

"The name is used for everything which the name covers, everything the thought or feeling of which is aroused in the mind by mentioning, hearing, remembering, the name, i.e. for one's rank, authority, interests, pleasure, command, excellency, deeds etc.”

Taking all my petitions back to the One in whose Name I ask, gives me the challenge and confidence to rely on what is WRITTEN as the baseline of my requests. God's Word is His Will.   He will fulfill His Word and His promises to us, as we ask in the mighty Name of His Son, Jesus.

The next thing to remember is the Credentials we must bring into the Holy Place. We come by faith in and through the crucified body of Jesus. We offer as our Credentials:

THE BROKEN BODY CRUCIFIED AND THE HOLY BLOOD SHED OF GOD’S ONLY APPROVED SACRIFICE FOR MY SIN:    JESUS

THE ONLY RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT GOD RECOGNIZES:   JESUS

IN THE ONLY NAME THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ACCESS HEAVEN’S ANSWERS:    JESUS

These are the ONLY credentials we can give to justify the answers we are asking for and also we can ask with confidence that we are following Divine “Protocol” in our petitions.  Protocol dictates that all petitions go directly to our Father in Heaven. We do not pray to anyone else if we truly desire to have our petitions answered.

Reverence and respect for our Heavenly Father must come from our heart (the temple of the Holy Spirit) and in loving obedience to His requirements for access. THEN He provides the much more of what we can ask or even imagine.

The study of God’s Word enables us to understand all that is available to us as God’s beloved and to gain a better grasp of the Father Heart of God for His creation: humanity. As we come to recognize our place of privileged access and appropriate (take and use) what Jesus died to provide, (ask and it will be given) the world we inhabit will flow with the miraculous evidence of Heaven’s Good Will.
  
Remembering all is to and for the Glory of Jesus (whose sacrifice provided the privilege of relationship) and to and for the Glory of the Father (who honors the Name of the Son Jesus) through Divine answers to our earthy petitions and to and for the Glory of the Holy Spirit within whose role it is to bring their Glory through us.

The link provided is a tool I use as I have found different translations of the Word of God use similar words but in some cases provide a different interpretation in my mind. I have found it very interesting to use this tool to enlarge my understanding of original language and expand my grasp of Truth. Many of the different translations of scripture are provided in this link but only the KJV has the specific word translated from Greek origin.

I pray this ignites your passion to discover or to go deeper into your place and privilege in the relationship with Our Father in Heaven that Jesus died to provide through the indwelling of His Holy Spirit.

It is to the Glory of the Son that we appropriate what His sacrifice and death and resurrection made possible: “Ask The Father for anything IN MY NAME and that He will give you”.

Have a blessed day in His Presence! I intent to!

The Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him?
