Today, we are going to talk about the importance of praying in Jesus’ name. When we apply the name Jesus in our prayer, we seek God’s presence in us. Since God has revealed himself in Jesus’ name so we need to pray in Jesus’ name.
Every day, we encounter many incidents that appear so hard for us to control. But we should remember that God is with us and he has asked us to pray in the name of Jesus. This prayer is different from normal prayers. The name of Jesus carries God’s power and authority. So we must apply the name Jesus in our prayer.
Jesus is our God, and he wants us to pray every day. Our prayer has the power that open closed doors. It breaks the chains and sets us free from the Devil’s slavery. Jesus said that when we pray in his name, we can feel his presence. The presence of God can change any hardships that trouble us.
The disciples of Jesus healed many sick people by applying the name of Jesus in their prayers. They cast out demons and did many miracles with the help of Jesus’ name. We too can experience this miracle in our lives if we trust Jesus and walk in his path faithfully.
Now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about praying in Jesus’ name.
