What is in a name?

Yesterday morning as we were preparing for praise and worship, P Susan said she sensed in her spirit we were to make much of the Name. So it prompted me to read after that subject today, and, oh, how powerful!

E.W. Kenyon said:
". . . He has given us the legal right to use His Name.

"As we take our privileges, and rights, in the new Covenant and pray in Jesus' Name, it passes out of our hands into the hands of Jesus; He then assumes the responsibility of that prayer, and we know that He said, 'Father, I thank Thee that Thou hearest Me, and I know that Thou hearest Me always.'

"In other words, we know that the Father always hears Jesus, and when we pray in Jesus' Name, it is as though Jesus Himself were doing the praying -- He takes our place."

Yes! Jesus gave us a legal right to use His name and we know that it will always, ALWAYS produce results b/c Jesus HIMSELF takes responsibility for the thing! Jesus' name only holds integrity so He will follow that until it's done (as long as we don't negate with our words, but that's another topic)! He said whatsoever you ask the Father IN MY NAME, he will give it you . . . ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. He did NOT say, ask and receive . . . if you use the right dialect, or if you comb your hair the right way, or if your breath isn't bad! NO! He said, ask in his name and we would receive! (Oh, Lord, let us not forget one of your benefits!)

I guess I will stop here, but I think there is more on this subject on it's way!
