What does it even mean to ask in Jesus’ name?

As Jesus stated, you are humbled by the reality of Christ choosing and appointing you to bear fruit that remains. As you abide in Him, anything you ask of Him is asking in His name.

The beauty of you remaining in Jesus is the Holy Spirit’s production of fruit that remains…for Jesus.

You are a beloved child of God, which conveys a heart of walking so close with your heavenly Father that you would dare not assume or ask of Him anything that would threaten your sweet, abiding relationship…forged by love and trust.

Asking requires humility accompanied by faith, which escorts you into the presence of your loving heavenly Father. His perfect love is the safest of safe places, available for you to seek comfort, forgiveness, wisdom and yes…the opportunity to ask. Love bids you to ask your Father in Jesus’ name.

This idea is similar to a friend offering her name to you as a reference to someone you have never met or would like to connect to and have a conversation with. You are able to gain access because of the credibility of your friend’s name, recognized by the one you would like to approach… to perhaps receive a referral to a helpful resource. In the same way, Jesus’ name always gives you access into the presence of your heavenly Father…to ask.

“And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it” (John 14:13-14).
