PRAYING IN JESUS NAME

Praying in Jesus’ name is taught in John 14:13-14, “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” Some misapply this verse, thinking that saying “in Jesus’ name” at the end of a prayer results in God’s always granting what is requested. This is essentially treating the words “in Jesus’ name” as a magic formula. This is absolutely unbiblical.

Praying in Jesus’ name means praying with His authority and asking God the Father to act upon our prayers because we come in the name of His Son, Jesus. Praying in Jesus' name means the same thing as praying according to the will of God, “How do we know God's will, by His Words. The Jabez prayer, The Lord's Prayer and 23 Psalms are examples of praying in God's will. Ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14-15). Praying in Jesus’ name is praying for things that will honor and glorify God

'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thou is the Kingdom the power and the glory forever Amen
