The Power of Praying in Jesus’s Name

It’s amazing what happens when you believe God—when you believe His promises that He wants to heal you, restore you, guide you, and strengthen you.

Jesus declares in John 10:10, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” He came to do that for each one of us. He did not come to deprive us of a single thing. Christ came to give us everything—that we would be joint heirs with Him.



Romans 8:15-17 explains, You received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.

Imagine standing in the position of Jesus before the throne of God—for that’s what the Bible says we do as joint heirs with Christ. This is because we are … justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24).

Now, when you have that in your mind, in your spirit, and in your innermost being, you can truly believe it

How wonderful to know that our sins have been completely taken away! Psalm 103:12 assures us, As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

And so, when we come praying to God, we come standing in Jesus’ name as joint heirs with Him. When we are praying in His name, we’re saying to God, “I’m standing before You as Your child. I have that right and I have that privilege, for I’m a joint heir with Jesus.”

Now, when you have that in your mind, in your spirit, and in your innermost being, you can truly believe it—and when you speak your prayer, you’re speaking with power.

It’s incredible what happens if you just think this way. So, change your thinking, believe the Good News, and you can have miracles in your life. God bless you!
