Bible Note: Thanks Dear Soul. Your note is well taken, but your definition is simply too technical for my taste. While I agree in essence, it exudes a following of a Law. The way some end their prayers is simply their way. I personally often end them with an Amen. I generally begin them with "In the name of my lord and savior, I come before Thee to give thanks and praise, and to .... The Father knows who is my Lord and savior. He also knows the heart of the one who prays. John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. I personally believe in the "K I S S" rule. Keep it simple, stupid. Our Lord put it as simple as it can be put. Anything beyond what He said can only be attributed to the stupidity and self professed wisdom of man, and can only serve only to confuse and confound the brethren and babes in Christ. Rom 8:34 …. It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. To ask in Christ's name, is to plead his merit and intercession, and to (depend upon that plea.) The gift of the Spirit is a fruit of Christ's mediation, bought by his merit, and received by his intercession. God Bless George |
