Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and
you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
John 16:24 (NIV)
While Jesus was here
on earth, his disciples could ask Him anything they wanted because He was right
there with them. In John 16:24 He is
reassuring them that even though He would soon be leaving them they would still
have access to God the Father because they could pray to Him in Jesus
name. Through Christ, we have the
ability to go before our Father in Heaven and ask anything of Him in Jesus
name. Think of it this way, when you
pray you are effectively standing before God’s throne, making your requests or prayers
heard to Him.
As children of
God, we have full access to His throne.
It is because of Jesus, the one who makes this possible for us, that we
are able to approach God in such a way and ask Him directly for the things that
are on our hearts. If you are lacking
something that you need in your life, have you brought that concern before God
in the name of Jesus?
Because of what Jesus has done for
us, we can pray directly to our Father in Heaven and ask anything of Him in
Jesus name. Because of Jesus we have
full access to God Himself!
