There is Power in the Name of Jesus by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
IT IS COMMON in evangelical circles to hear people, perhaps even ourselves, call upon our heavenly Father, recite our litany of prayer requests, whatever they may be, and end by saying “in the name of Jesus.” It is equally common that we do so in a rather lackluster fashion, separated from fervency by unbelieving belief—so we don’t ask a serious prayer. It may be a sincere prayer, but a safe one; God may answer, or he may not, but whether his answer is ‘yes’ or ‘no’ will likely not make much of a difference in our world, because we’ve only timidly asked for something that we have protected outside of the inner circle of our hopes. Why ask him for a miracle, only to be disappointed?
