[The Glory Unveiled]
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. [ John 16:24 NIV ]
The name of Jesus is the signatory to the believer’s blessings and every need. The provisions for our every need is encoded with the name of Jesus, so that without His name, the believer, cannot have what is theirs. As a result, it is very possible to walk with Jesus for many years but never ask Him anything, just because we have not asked in His name. Asking in the name of Jesus means asking with the revelation knowledge of Jesus. The theatrics of religion does not guarantee that God hears us, even though He can hear us through the art and the noise. The indicator that we have been heard is joy; a sense of inner peace regardless of the surrounding situations. It is possible to have challenges around you, yet have complete joy borne from asking Jesus. While on a raging sea, when the disciples called on Jesus, He invited peace into the storm. (Mark 4:35-39). It is not enough to say that you have prayed. When people say they have prayed, many times, they mean they have spoken their minds, usually out loud or they have spoken about what troubles them. But as to whether someone heard them from the other side, they don’t know. Many of us are content with our prayers even when there is no guarantee that it had crossed over to the side of God because many times, we are too lazy to do the hard work of finding out the will of God. As humans, we try to manage our problems by ourselves so well that we sometimes think it is the doing of the Lord. Instead, of asking the Lord to deal with them, we manage them ourselves with the deception that we have strength. Whereas, this act is actually the pseudonym for the foolishness of the prodigal son. Too many Christians are still paying for their own meals and needs when Jesus had paid for it all. Don’t pay for yours, enjoy the provisions of God in Jesus’ name.
