In the name of Jesus....

In the Name of Jesus....@

Jesus said, "Ye shall
ask in My name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: for the
Father Himself loveth you." "I have chosen you: . . . that whatsoever ye shall
ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you." John 16:26, 27; 15:16. But to pray
in the name of Jesus is something more than a mere mention of that name at the beginning

and the ending of a prayer. It is to pray in the mind and spirit of Jesus, while we
believe His promises, rely upon His grace, and work His works.

1 Thess. 5:17

1 Thess.5:17

When we come to ask mercy and
blessing from God we should have a spirit of love and forgiveness in our own hearts. How
can we pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors," and yet indulge
an unforgiving spirit? Matthew 6:12. If we expect our own prayers to be heard we must
forgive others in the same manner and to the same extent as we hope to be forgiven.


Perseverance in prayer has
been made a condition of receiving. We must pray always if we would grow in faith and
experience. We are to be "instant in prayer," to "continue in prayer, and
watch in the same with thanksgiving." Romans 12:12; Colossians 4:2. Peter exhorts
believers to be "sober, and watch unto prayer." 1 Peter 4:7. Paul directs,
"In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God." Philippians 4:6. "But ye, beloved," says Jude,
"praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God." Jude 20, 21.

Jer.29:13

Jer.29:13

There is no smile that He does not mark.


If we would but fully believe this,
all undue anxieties would be dismissed. Our lives would not be so filled with
disappointment as now; for everything, whether great or small, would be left in the hands
of God, who is not perplexed by the multiplicity of cares, or overwhelmed by their weight.
We should then enjoy a rest of soul to which many have long been strangers.

Matt.6:33

Matt.6:33

By faith you became Christ's, and by faith
you are to grow up in Him--by giving and taking. You are to give all,--your heart, your
will, your service,--give yourself to Him to obey all His requirements; and you must take
all,--Christ, the fullness of all blessing, to abide in your heart, to be your strength,
your righteousness, your everlasting helper,--to give you power to obey.


Consecrate yourself to God in
the morning; make this your very first work. Let your prayer be, "Take me, O Lord, as
wholly Thine. I lay all my plans at Thy feet. Use me today in Thy service. Abide with me,
and let all my work be wrought in Thee." This is a daily matter. Each morning
consecrate yourself to God for that day. Surrender all
