Authority

Power of Attorney

The individual believer and the corporate church has the legal right to use the name of Jesus in the battle against the enemy in the daily affairs of life. When He ascended on high Jesus gave us the church the right to His name. Jesus gave us the Power of Attorney to use His name.

What is the power of attorney? What is the value of It? The value of the power of attorney depends upon how much is the back of it. It depends upon how much authority and power the name represents.

If we study the scriptures and find out what is the back of the Name, how much power and authority that name represents, then we will get a glimpse of what the Name can mean to us in our daily lives.

The measure of His ability is the measure of of the value of that Name. And it belongs to the church and Jesus gave us the unqualified use of His Name. John 16:24 give us the unlimited use of His Name in prayer. Prayer prayed in His Name will receive His special attention . And when the prayer is prayed in His Name, the Father is obliged to answer it based upon the New Covenant.

When we take our position and stand in the rights and priveledges in the New Covenant and pray in Jesus Name, it passes out of our hands into the hands of Jesus. He assumes the responsibility for that prayer.
