PRAY LIKE A BOSS
(Be Bold To Use The Name “Jesus” In Prayer)
? Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;
? TO THE BIBLE
Ephesians 3:12 AMP C “In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the boldness (courage and confidence) of free access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear).”
◀️ LET’S TALK
Ephesians 3:12 AMP C “In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the boldness (courage and confidence) of free access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear).”
In John 14:13 NASB, Jesus said, “…Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” The key is asking in His Name; living in the authority of His Name. Many, lacking this understanding pray “through” Jesus, instead of praying “in” the Name of Jesus. There’s a great difference between the two: When you pray in the Name of Jesus, you’re exercising the full legal powers He gave you to act in His stead. But to pray through Him is to make Him a medium, which isn’t required now that you’re in Him.
When you understand and have the consciousness of the power and authority behind the Name of Jesus, and what it represents, you won’t have to try to “squeeze” up faith when you need it. When you pray or make demands in His Name, it’s as though Jesus Himself were speaking; everything responds to you the same way they would respond to Jesus.
The angels, demon spirits, and all of nature respond to you as though they were hearing directly from Jesus. In Matthew 17:5, the Father told all of creation, all of nature—animate and inanimate—to hear and obey Jesus. So, when you used the name “Jesus” to ask anything and it happened, it was against this backdrop. He meant that His power would be behind our demands, prayers, requests, and instructions, to bring them to pass. This is the reason for our boldness and confidence in prayer!

? Pray
Dear Father, I thank you for I’ve got boldness, access and confidence by the faith of Jesus Christ. And in His Name, I lay hold on and enjoy my inheritance. The whole world is mine, because I’m a joint-heir with Christ. All of nature responds to me in the Name of Jesus!
