PRAYING

......glorify Your name!

“Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice from heaven, saying,”I have both glorified it and will glorify it again”. (John 12:28).

Yahweh! There is a war against Your name and that of the name of Your holy Son, Jesus! You said You would glorify Your name. Jesus promised power in and through His name, special access to heaven through prayer in His name. Intimidating cultural pressures seek to enforce the notion that the name of one god is as good as the name of another. We refuse to believe that general delivery prayers end up in the same place as those prayed by godly, Christ-honoring, bloodstained, Spirit-filled believers. We believe that prayer, in His name, has special power. We seek only to glorify Your name, God. Therefore, we ask for a new boldness to openly identify with Your name. And we ask that You reveal Your glory around Your name. Give us the courage to refuse generic descriptions for our Savior, Jesus. There is no other name. Glorify it. Be anonymous no more. Reveal to unbelievers and skeptics alike, that You are not dead. You are alive. When your name is called, you answer. When Your name is raised, You respond. When children whisper Your name, call them, like young Samuel, to generational mission. Will say Your name. We will glorify it. Praise Yahweh! Thank you, Jesus! We ask You to do what we can’t do, wake up the dead by the sound of Your name. Calm the seas. Heal the sick. Deliver the captives. Loose the bound. Do it for Your glory. Do it to declare the sanctity of Your name. Amen.

Today’s Quote

This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone. Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other, name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John…… they realized that they had been with Jesus.
