#40 Transforming Power (11/2/35)

Please consider:

Most Christians are aware of the significance and Power of Prayer. However, in my experience, I have found relatively few who recognize the profundity of prayer "in the name of Jesus Christ" and the inclusion of "Amen." It is not my intention to tell anyone how to pray. I am merely sharing what I have found to be profoundly significant and true.

In my experience, there has been significant evidence of the conspicuous "transforming power" of such prayers as:
• In the name of Jesus Christ, I confess______, Amen.
• In the name of Jesus Christ, I forgive______, Amen.
 o Individuals
 o Family
 o Ourselves
   Failures
   Mistakes
   Oversights
   Ignorance
   Blindness
   Judgment
   Hypocrisy
   Double standards
   Etc.
 o Our past
 o Groups of individuals
 o Classes of individuals
 o Organizations
 o Special interest groups (even political)
 o Circumstances
 o Situations
 o Anyone or anything that has imposed on our well-being (in essence, any trespass)
• In the name of Jesus Christ______, Amen.

And a multitude of other prayers, specifically in the name of Jesus Christ—the name above all names—not merely some other close approximation of Godly terminology.

It is a proclamation, not merely a request, of the transforming power of God (Mark 16:17)
