Jesus
had just explained that He was going to die, and the disciples would
temporarily be without him. After His resurrection, their sorrow would be
turned to joy. This joy that would come to them would be a forever, complete
joy. It could not be snatched away by any earthly circumstance. Salvation, healing, and deliverance are found
in the name of Jesus. In order to use “in Jesus’ name”, one must have a
personal relationship with Jesus and one must also know, according to the
Scriptures, what Jesus teaches us concerning His will. Requesting something in
the power of Jesus’ name implies that one is submitting to the will of God.
When we ask in the power of His name, in the will of the Lord, we will
experience true, total joy.
Before
you petition God, do you make sure that your petition meets with His will as
revealed in the Bible? If so, you can pray expecting an answer. It may not
always be exactly what you were thinking of, but it will ultimately bring glory
to God as well as joy to you.
