How to Pray
by Sheila Weddle
"And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." - John 14:13
We have the right to use the name of Jesus. There is power and authority in His name. When you asked Jesus to become Lord of your life He gave you everything you needed to live a victorious life in this life. One of the things He gave us was the right to use His name.
Remember the story in the book of Acts when Peter and John were on their way to church and a cripple man asked them for money. Peter said "silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." Peter lifted the man up and he began to walk. (Acts 3:6)
God loves you! You are in the family of God! Take your place in Jesus with His name and the power that goes with that wonderful name.
Take the Word of God and pray the Scriptures concerning that situation. When you pray the Scriptures you are praying the will of God in your Life. The Word becomes your sure standard and the right to use Jesus' name.
You are who Jesus says you are and you can have what Jesus says you can have. Be thrilled!!! You are in the family of God.
To the Glory of God,
