Good morning prayerful ones!

I want to encourage you, because contrary to popular religious teaching, God needs people to PRAY in order for things to be accomplished in the earth. PRAYER is the key to getting God involved in situations and circumstances. In Luke 18:1, Jesus instructs us in this way about PRAYER. He says,

Men ought always PRAY and not get weary, faint, give up, or lose heart.

If we are told to PRAY ALWAYS, that does not leave much time to do anything else. God cannot do anything for humanity unless people PRAY. According to Genesis 1:26-27, we were not only created in the image and likeness of God, but He gave us dominion and authority over everything in the earth.

THE NAME OF JESUS is higher than any other other name because of the authority and power that have been vested in it. When we PRAY to the Father IN THE NAME OF JESUS, we will always receive answers to our prayers. Everything in heaven, hell, and on earth must submit to the authority of THE NAME OF JESUS. When you speak in THE NAME OF JESUS, you will get results.

According to Luke 10:19, JESUS has given you authority over all the ability of the enemy. When JESUS rose from the dead, He gave you power over the devil. Although Satan has a legal right to operate in the earth, man has dominion over him.

JESUS‘ power is vested in HIS NAME (Luke 10:17). HIS NAME carries authority and power. THE NAME OF JESUS is higher than angels, demons, and principalities (Ephesians 1:19-23). Even demons are subject to HIS NAME.

Hebrews 1:3-7 tells us that JESUS has obtained A MORE EXCELLENT NAME than any other name. As a believer, you have a legal right to use THE NAME OF JESUS. Every other name must submit to HIS NAME. So, things like lack, sickness, and disease must bow its knee to THE NAME OF JESUS. I exhort you to have confidence in the authority and dominion of THE NAME OF JESUS.

PRAYER is the key to getting things done on earth. When you PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS, your joy will be full because you will know that God has granted your petition. Happiness is based on your circumstances, but joy is based on what you know. Your joy is based on the fact that you know you have answers to your PRAYERS because you asked IN THE NAME OF JESUS. JESUS tells us in Luke 15:11-32 that all that He has belongs to you! All you have to do is ask.

PRAYING in THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS,
