Title: The Power in Jesus' Name.
"If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." — John 14:14
Devotion: Jesus Christ is not only the Son of God—He is God incarnate, the visible image of the invisible God. As Hebrews 1:3 declares, “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being.” When Jesus instructed His disciples to pray in His name, He was preparing them for His departure to heaven. Though physically absent, His name would carry His presence, authority, and power.
Praying in Jesus’ name is not a ritual—it’s a relationship. It’s like accessing a divine account in heaven. Just as you cannot withdraw money from a bank without an account, you cannot receive from God without Jesus. He is our access point, our spiritual account, and our divine mediator. “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus” — 1 Timothy 2:5.
When we surrender our lives to Christ, He becomes our spiritual banker—our source and supply. “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” — Philippians 4:19. Every request made in His name is backed by His authority and fulfilled by His grace.
The Holy Spirit, our Helper on earth, responds to the name of Jesus. He is the divine agent who executes heaven’s will on earth. “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things” — John 14:26. The Spirit honors the name of Jesus and moves in power when we invoke it in faith.
Believers should cherish and boldly use the name of Jesus, for it is the name above every other name. “Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name” — Philippians 2:9. Through His name, demons flee, healing flows, and prayers are answer.
Reflection: Do you love using the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth? If yes, it’s because you know Him personally. If not, perhaps it’s time to examine your relationship with Him. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” — John 14:6. If you’ve received Him as Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth and empower you to walk in His name.
