Today God says:
"If you ask anything in the name of Jesus, I will do it".
He promises me:
And whatever you shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask anything in My name, I will do it". (John 14:13,14)
My response to the word:
Jesus gives me the privilege of using His highly exalted name when I pray. The authority of His name represents everything Jesus is and has. He has given me the "power of attorney" to use His name when I petition the Father for my needs. Paul wrote, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus: Who gave Himself a ransom for all".
My prayer:
Lord, thank you for the power of Jesus' name, and for permitting me to use His name when I pray. I will walk and pray in the power of Jesus' name throughout this day.
Today's scriptures:
"You didn't choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you to go, to produce fruit that will last, and to ask the Father in My name to give you whatever you ask for". (John 15:16 GW) "Peter said to him, 'I don't have any money, but I'll give you what I do have. Through the power of Jesus Christ from Nazareth, walk". (Acts 3:6 GW)
Quote for today:
Those who would bring great things to pass must rise early. (Matthew Henry)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".

On 9th October 1664, Benjamin Keach was convicted of writing and publishing a seditious and scandalous book. He had written a simple book for children about Baptist beliefs. He spent two months in prison and paid one hundred pounds. He didn't learn from this for in 1691 he published Spiritual Melody, a book of 300 lively hymns. This upset many people. Nevertheless he spent the rest of his life in the "seditious and scandalous pursuits" of teaching children and singing hymns.
