Power of Prayer
“Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.” John 16:23
Prayers offered in the name of Jesus have “divine power to demolish strongholds” 2 Corinthians 10:4.
The word of God says Demolish!
Not just damage but demolish. Prayer falls on strongholds like
fire on a grass hut.
In Matthew 11:27, Jesus said; All things have been handed over to me by my Father.
That includes Satan. The devil was soundly defeated by Christ on the cross. Jesus outranks him in every situation. He must obey Jesus, and he knows it.
The devil fears prayer.
Prayer slaps handcuffs on Satan.
Prayer takes problems out of the domain of the devil and into the presence of God.
Prayer declares that, “God can handle ALL THINGS. Since He can, I have hope!”
When we pray in the name of Jesus, we come to God on the basis of Jesus’ accomplishments.
Since we have a great high priest [Jesus] over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Hebrews 10:21–22
As our high priest, Jesus offers our prayers to God. His prayers are always heard.
Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. John 16:23
Prayer changes things because prayer appeals to the highest power in the universe. It is the ‘yes’ to God’s invitation to invoke His name.
Nothing else will have the final word, only Jesus will.
