Recieving in the name of Jesus
John 14: 13-14.
Studying this word, the teacher, Holy Spirit, explained to me .
The name of Jesus is not just about the letters but the characters that capture the reality of God in Christ Jesus
Believer's must understand that God can not lie or not lie when He says, "Ask whatsoever in my name and you would receive.
The question should be. Are lies, stealing, and hatred not a part of whatsoever.
A thief should be able to ask of protection as he is about going on a mission to steal
But then. The thing is this. That in as much as its request, it doesn't capture that character of Christ
Sometimes, we don't receive from God even though we say in Jesus' name. Because we think it's just about saying the name. No.
Your request must capture the realities of that name. For example, the reality of God is love, forgiveness, truth, honesty, humility, integrity, compassion, etc
These are the nature of God.
When we ask in the name of Jesus without His realities, we only spoke our human language, which can not produce power.
When asking anything, look out for that reality in Christ Jesus, then make demands on that.
That's what it means to ask in His name.
