PRAY TO THE FATHER IN THE NAME OF JESUS
YOU HAVE A right to ask for healing in the name of Jesus. God does hear and answer prayer. Every believer has a right to ask God the Father for healing, or for any other blessing in God’s Word. When a believer asks in the name of Jesus, he has an absolute guarantee that God will grant him the answer to his petition. Under the new covenant between God and the church, we are to come to God by Jesus Christ.
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My Name, He will give it to you. Until now you have asked nothing in My Name. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
—JOHN 16:23–24
Read: Psalm 50:15; Jeremiah 33:2–3; Matthew 7:7–11; John 5:7–9; John 9:7; 1 John 5:14–15
According to John 16:23, what and why should you pray in Jesus’ name?
Under the new covenant between God and the church, how are we to come to God?
Let Us Pray!
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before You asking You to heal me. It is written that the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. Father God, my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and I desire to be healed. I seek wisdom that will make me free. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Word to heal me from all my destruction.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!
