A Sermon Glorifying Jesus

 



Pray In Jesus Name To Receive Your Prayer Requests
Praying In Christ's Name (Not Jesus Name) Won't Work
Don't Pray In Christ's Name; True Saints Pray In Jesus Name

     Jesus told us that for any prayer request when we are not sinning, if we ask for anything in Jesus name (not Christ's name) we can receive any prayer request. Jesus told us at John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name (Jesus), He may give it you. And Jesus said at John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name (Jesus), I will do it. Friends remember this incredible promise when you pray for anything; Ask in Jesus name for anything believing and you will receive your prayer requests. Deny sin daily and then you will ask for the right things in Jesus name that will be granted. 

     Note that many preachers and christians pray in Christ's name instead of in Jesus name. They say in Christ's name to avoid offending anyone who could leave their church with their money at the mention of Jesus. In Christ's name won't get results. We must pray in Jesus name to get results. The bible tells us that our Lord's name is JESUS. Matthew 1:21 proclaims And she shall bring forth a son and thou shalt call His name JESUS (not Christ), for He shall save His people from their sins. And Philippians 2:9-10 says Wherefore God hath highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus (not Christ) every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. 

     Therefore obey God's Word and ask for anything in Jesus name (not in Christ's name) and overcome the devil and receive your prayer requests. The devil wants people to pray in Christ's name to make their prayers ineffective. Don't be ashamed of the name of Jesus; Proclaim Jesus everywhere. Jesus said at Luke 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels. Jesus also said at Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before the Father which is in heaven. 

     You'll get persecuted for praying in Jesus name instead of in Christ's name but rejoice through the persecution while your prayer requests are answered. Remember this warning: Be aware of and avoid false preachers used by the devil who pray in Christ's name instead of in Jesus name who pray ineffective prayers having a false outward appearance of religion with no power. Jesus spoke about this at 2 Timothy 3:5 telling us about false preachers: Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof (praying in Christ's name instead of in Jesus name); from such turn away. Instead pray with preachers who correctly pray in Jesus name that get powerful results in prayer. Choose to get saved and pray daily with granted results in Jesus name; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 


1) The Name Of Jesus Is A Prophesied And Proclaimed Name

     Time to glorify the name of Jesus. First the name of Jesus is a prophesied name. Before Jesus was born, the Father told Jesus' adopted dad Joseph in a dream at Matthew 1:21 And she (Mary) shall bring forth a Son and thou shalt call His name JESUS, for He shall save His people from their sins. Next the name of Jesus is a proclaimed name; According to Psalm 34:1 proclaim the name of Jesus everywhere at all times. Right now say I will bless the Lord (Jesus) at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 

     Proclaim and bless the name of Jesus in the morning. Like David say Psalm 5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord (Jesus); in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. Proclaim and bless the name of Jesus in the night. Like David say Psalm 134 Behold, bless ye the Lord (Jesus), all ye servants of the Lord, which by night stand in the house of the Lord. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord (Jesus). The Lord that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion. Just pray in the name of Jesus at all times. Like David say Psalm 55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray (in Jesus name), and cry aloud; and He shall hear my voice. 


2) The Name Of Jesus Is A Powerful Name

     Next the name of Jesus is a powerful name. The powerful name of Jesus can heal any sickness. Pray in Jesus name to receive healing for any sickness. Peter used the powerful name of Jesus to heal a lame man at the Beautiful gate. First there was a lameness, then there was a look, then there was a limp, and finally there was a leap of joy. According to Acts 3:6 Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee; In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up; and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 


3) The Name Of Jesus Is A Persecuted Name

     Third the name of Jesus is a persecuted name. You'll get persecuted when you say the name of Jesus in public. Rejoice if you are persecuted for saying the name Jesus because according to the bible, happiness and blessings occur when you are persecuted about Jesus. 1 Peter 4:14 promises If you be reproached for the name of (Jesus) Christ, happy (blessed) are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you; on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part He (Jesus) is glorified. 

     Brother Bob's answering machine message always says "Have a blessed day in the name of Jesus." My unsaved dad used to say that my message was offensive and would prevent me from getting a job. He said why must you say Jesus on your answering machine? My dad persecuted me and wouldn't help me financially. But a christian employer got blessed by my message and gave me a job that I did for 34 years. I'm glad I had the name Jesus on my answering machine and I'm still rejoicing today through all the persecution with retirement where I don't have to work another day of my life.  


4) The Name Of Jesus Is A Precious Name

     Fourth the name of Jesus is a precious name. Not only is the name of Jesus precious but the blood of Jesus that removes our sin and gives us victory over the devil is precious. 1 Peter 2:6 tells us that the name of Jesus is precious; Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious (Jesus): and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe He (Jesus) is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner. 

     1 Peter 1:18-19 tells us that the blood of Jesus is precious: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Praise Jesus for redeeming, purchasing, buying, and freeing us from sin with His own precious blood shed at Calvary. Right now rejoice and say Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own (precious) blood He (Jesus) entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.



5) The Name Of Jesus Is A Prevailing Name

     Finally the name of Jesus is a prevailing name. Remember when you pray in Jesus name you will prevail and always receive victory. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. And 2 Corinthians 2:14 tells us Now thanks be unto God which always causeth us to triumph in Christ and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. 

     Remember with Jesus you are always a winner that stands on a firm foundation that never fails. If you stand on the foundation Jesus, you'll stand through any storm or trouble. 1 Corinthians 3:11 tells us that Jesus is our foundation; For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. According to Matthew 7:25 the foundation of Jesus is a Rock that will survive and overcome any trouble, sickness, or worry. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a Rock (Jesus).

     I pray in Jesus name that this little bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth with great joy, peace, and strength.
