And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it (John 14:13-14).
When you study the words of the Master in the scripture above, you’ll realize that He was referring to using His Name with authority; doing great works in His Name. He was emphasizing the power and authority vested in His Name, making it clear to us that this authority is effective in bringing about any desired
result. Hallelujah!
Let’s examine those words a bit more: first, He said, “If you shall ask anything in my name….” To ask here means to demand something. The Lord Jesus was referring to situations where you demand that something should happen in His Name. At such moments, He says, “I will cause it to happen.” What an assurance! This is a demonstration of the authority we have in His Name.
An example of this can be found in Acts chapter 3, where Peter and John encountered a man who had been crippled from birth. Peter simply used the Name of Jesus with the understanding of the authority that it wields. He understood what Jesus meant when He said, “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do…” (John 14:13).
As a result, Peter demanded healing for the man who was crippled from birth. The Bible says, “And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God” (Acts 3:7-8). This is precisely what Jesus was talking about—using His Name with authority.
Recall what He said in John 10:25, “…I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.” He commissioned us to do the same in His Name. We have the authority to speak to anything in His Name and have a miracle. You can speak to broken bones, blind eyes, and every challenging situation in His Name, and there’ll be a change. Glory to God!
When you speak in His Name, He’s present with divine power to ensure that your words come to pass. He guarantees the results. This is the authority we’ve been given; it’s power beyond this world; power to change circumstances in His Name. Hallelujah!

|| Acts 3:6-8 NKJV
Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted [him] up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. ||
|| Philippians 2:9-10
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; ||
|| John 14:13-14 AMPC
And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son. 14 [Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM]. ||

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS:
I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency. I am more than a conqueror. I am extraordinary, special, and distinguished. My humanity has been supplanted by divinity. I have the life and nature of God now. I am a member of the heavenly pantheon for the Spirit of God lives in me. Everything that is in Christ Jesus: all of His power, glory, might, strength, and wisdom. Everything that He represents, I have received! I’m replete with God! I am a carrier and dispenser of divinity. I am the complete expression of the divine nature. The heavenly life is my everyday experience. Christ reigns supreme in my body, spirit, mind, job, business, family, and world. My life is not ordinary. I am full of Faith. I am full of power and I do wonders. I am an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ. I have received of His ability, wisdom, knowledge, glory, strength, and wealth.
I am in a place of never-ending, superabundant wealth. Angels are directing businesses to me right now. I am being remembered right now in several places for good. My name comes up even now for blessings, for promotion, for bonuses, for awards, for rewards, for contracts. The kind of blessings coming to me now, cannot be humanly explained. Today, I am living the life of victory and dominion that Jesus purchased for me through His vicarious death, burial, and resurrection. God’s Word is truth and everything He said about my health and life is reality. The Word of God produces health, strength, vitality, and all the blessings and provisions that it talks about.
I’m living in health 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; no weapon formed or fashioned against me shall prosper. My body is invigorated by the Spirit of God who lives in me. Nothing in me or about me dies or succumbs to the corrupting influences of this world. I rule over all the forces of darkness as I manifest the glory of God everywhere I go. I am an associate of the heavenly pantheon. I have eternal life at work in me, which makes me master over all circumstances. I have dominion over the world’s deplorable systems. I have dominion over Satan. I am superior to sickness and diseases. I have the very essence of God flowing through my body in Jesus’ name. Amen. Speak in tongues.
