merit, righteousness or ability but we are seeking to come by the rights ofaccess and privileges that Jesus has with the Father.This is made possible through our identification with Jesus Christ in Hisdeath and resurrection. We have been united together with Him in His death(Rom. 6:4-6). We are now seated together with Christ in the heavenly places(Eph. 2:6). We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in theheavenly places (Eph. 1:3). We are heirs and joint heirs together with Christ(Rom. 8:16, 17). All that Jesus has is ours too.In the Old Covenant, it was very cumbersome to approach the throne ofGod. The Israelites had to perform the various sacrifices before they canmake their request to God. All this is done because of the blockage of sin. Itwas dangerous to approach God without the blood covering. Jesus Christbecame the sacrificial lamb for us (Heb. 9:26). By the use of the Name ofJesus, we can now approach the throne of God knowing that God willaccept us.Using the Name of Jesus does not apply to just the privilege of presentingour requests to God. It implies the knowledge that our prayers will definitelybe answered because God will never say ‘No’ to a request made in theName of Jesus. The problem with Christians who have no answer to theirprayers is that their prayers are not a representation of Jesus Christ althoughthey mouth the words ‘in Jesus’ Name.’ In fact, if a prayer is not arepresentation of the Will and Person of Jesus Christ, the person who prayshas no right to use the Name of Jesus because it is against what Jesusrepresents.The positive side of this truth is that all prayers that are representative ofthe Will and Person of Jesus Christ will surely be answered with aresounding ‘Yes’ and ‘Amen’ from God the Father. Such is the power of theName of Jesus Christ that when the Father hears that Name being used inprayer, He gives it His fullest attention and bade all creatures in heaven tobring the request to pass.Some of the translations of the Bible that expresses the power of the Nameof Jesus on John 16:23 are as follows:Amplified TranslationI assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that My Father will grant youwhatever you ask in My Name presenting all I AM.© Copyright 2008 Peter Tan Evangelism.

Charles B. Williams TranslationI solemnly say to you, the Father will give you, as bearers of My Name,whatever you ask Him for.Kenneth S. Wuest TranslationMost assuredly, I am saying to you, whatever you shall request of theFather, He will give it to you in view of all that I am in His estimation.We should allow the Holy Spirit to teach us how to pray for items thatbring the Will of God to be done on earth as it is in heaven. The secret is tofellowship with God first instead of bombarding the gates of heaven like asupermarket store.© Copyright 2008 Peter Tan Evangelism. All rights reserved. 7
