- We Worship and Adore Thee
- On Sunday nights, since the beginning of the year we have been studying what it means to pray in the Name of Jesus.Jesus said in:
John 14:12–14 NASB 2020 12 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I am going to the Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.John 16:23–24 NASB 2020 23 “And on that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.So we pray on the FULL authority of Jesus.What does that mean?Oh that we would begin to move into the depth of what it means to pray in that Name that’s above all other names.So far this year we have learned that prayer in the Name of Jesus means prayer ...Through the One who is our Advocate with the FatherThrough the One who is the Almighty — there is no might or power that does not belong to Him — there’s nothing too hard for our God!Through the One who is the Alpha and Omega — He was there are the beginning, He will be there at the end — NOT just of Creation, but our lives, our circumstances — He is here walking with us from beginning to endThrough the Amen — the One who pronounces “So it is” — the One who tells us that all the promises of God are “Yes!” in Him and through Him — Amen in Him and through Him — to the glory of God through us2 Corinthians 1:20 NASB 2020 20 For as many as the promises of God are, in Him they are yes; therefore through Him also is our Amen to the glory of God through us.Lots of promises to us! Many, many promises. As many as there are, they are “Yes!” and “Amen” in the Name of Jesus because He is the Amen.God delights to say, “Yes!” as we pray in the Name of Jesus so that He is glorified in all the earth.Through the Arm of the LordIsaiah 59:1 NASB 2020 1 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not so short That it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull That it cannot hear.Through the One who is True who gives us the Holy Spirit of TruthTonight as we pray let us also remember Jesus is the Beloved of the Father.Just as much as the Father declares inMatthew 3:16–17 NASB 2020 16 After He was baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and settling on Him, 17 and behold, a voice from the heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”And also in on the mount of transfiguration...Matthew 17:5 (NASB 2020)5 While he [Peter] was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him!”The Father declares Jesus is HIS Beloved.WE are encouraged to listen to the Beloved because I believe the FATHER liostens to the Son.The Father listens to and hears the beloved and the Beloved intercedes on our behalf!Hebrews 7:24–25 NASB 2020 24 Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently. 25 Therefore He is also able to save forever those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.Praise God for Jesus who is all these things and more!Yes, Jesus is the Beloved of the Father — and the miracles He does in and through our lives give testimony of that for all the world to hear.Our text reminds us ...Matthew 12:15–21 (NASB 2020)15 But Jesus, aware of this [Pharisees’ plans to destroy Him - Vs. 14} , withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and He healed them all, 16 and warned them not to tell who He was. 17 This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled: 18 “Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen; my Beloved in whom My soul Delights; I will put My Spirit upon Him, And He will proclaim Justice to the Gentiles. 19 “He will not quarrel, nor cry out; Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets. 20 “A bent reed He will not break off, And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish, Until He Leads Justice to victory. 21 “And in His name the Gentiles will hope.”Jesus is the One the Father has chosen, the One who is the Beloved of the Father — the One in whom the Father delights.So, tonight let’s take our needs and the needs of others to the Father THROUGH the Beloved.Let’s pray that the Kingdom of God advances and if we be found worthy, capable, willing — that God will advance the Kingdom through us.Let’s pray for the church to be united in the Holy Ghost, advancing in boldness against the darkness of this present age.Let’s pray for our nation — that God will bring it back to the foundations upon which the founders established it — all those religious persecuted of Europe, who transmitted faith in ChristLet’s pray for the healing of race relations within this nation — one nation under the banner of Jesus — regardless of color or ethnicity. Jesus!Let’s pray that the Gospel spread to ALL nations.Let’s pray in the Name of Jesus — the Beloved of the Father.
