Praying in the name of Jesus is like putting the cherry on top of a sundae. It's like the cheese on the pasta or the butter on the corn. Sure the ice cream tastes good without the cherry, the pasta tastes nice by itself, and even corn is sweet without butter.
But doesn't the Bible say "Taste and see the The Lord is good"? There is no name sweeter than the name of Jesus.
Why wouldn't you want to use the name of Jesus when we pray? Instead saying "In Your name" or just "Amen", why wouldn't we want to proclaim the name of Jesus?
Jesus is the only name that demands authority and respect. Jesus is the only name that breaks strongholds, heals the sick, and raises the dead to life. Jesus is the only name that can cast out demons. Jesus is the only name that brings peace in the midst of chaos. Jesus is the only name above every other name.
The name of Jesus should drip from our mouths like honey. The name of Jesus should bring a sweet aroma to the place we are in. The name of Jesus should be the light in darkness.
So why don't we use it when we pray? There is nothing sweeter than the name of Jesus.
Are we afraid of the power that comes with that name? Cause once you wear His name on your badge, there is no one stopping you.
God, give us the strength to bear Your name. In Jesus name, Amen!
There is nothing sweeter than the name of Jesus.
