1 | Praying in Jesus' name | Matthew | John Reformed | 71931 | ||
Dear Kak, I'm sure you've heard the line from old movies where someone demands "In the name of the Law, open up and surrender! In the name of the Law is the same as saying in the authority of the Law. As christians we pray to the Father in name (authority) of the Son: Matt 6:9 "Pray, then, in this way: "Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name." John 16:24 "Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full. When we pray to any one of the three Persons of the Godhead we are praying to all three. John 10:30 "I and the Father are one." The Holy Spirit is identical with the Spirit of Christ and the Spirit sent forth by the Father. Does this help? John Reformed |

John Reformed: Justme here, I think you ment this to go to kak. You have made some very vaild points, with which I agree. My point is when "In Jesus Name" becomes a magic word to get what we want, or a stamp on a letter kind of symbol that is wrong. Like I said I have many times fell asleep praying for others and Iam sure the Lord heard mt souls prayers. I think it is refreshing the topics that are going so far this year. Blessings to tou. justme |

Thanks Justme, You are right. Many people are being drawn to ministries instead of to Jesus. Just today I heard a commercial on the radio from a large evangelical church in my area. The spokesperson for the church encouraged people to come visit their service saying: "God is a lot more FUN than you may think."! God is fun; He will heal you and make you rich in the process. Now this is a message that really appeals to the carnal man. But it is wrong to use fleshly enticements even if the motives are good. John |

John Reformed: Even as I read your note we had a meeting at our church today. The main issue was one of Doctrine however most were focused on the good that woould come from helping the poor, rather thanthe people who were running it were not inline with our Biblical beliefs and doctrine. I believe we are in a time when baby food and milk is all most Christians can handle. I am very saddened to say the least. I am greatful that I can eat the meat of the Word of God. justme |
