Our Lord does not mean that our lives will be free from external difficulties and uncertainties, but that just as He knew the Father\u2019s heart and mind, we too can be lifted by Him into heavenly places through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, so that He can reveal the teachings of God to us.<\/section>\n<p>\u201c. . . whatever you ask the Father in My name . . .\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John+16:23\">John 16:23<\/a>). \u201cThat day\u201d is a day of peace and an untroubled relationship between God and His saint.

What a great challenge and invitation\u2014to pray in His name! Through the resurrection and ascension power of Jesus, and through the Holy Spirit He has sent, we can be lifted into such a relationship. Once in that wonderful position, having been placed there by Jesus Christ, we can pray to God in Jesus\u2019 name\u2014in His nature. This is a gift granted to us through the Holy Spirit, and Jesus said, \u201c. . . whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.\u201d The sovereign character of Jesus Christ is tested and proved by His own statements.<\/p>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<footer>\n<p id=\"bible-in-a-year-box\">Bible in One Year: <a title=\"2 Chronicles 7-9; John 11:1-29\" href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?version=31&amp;search=2+Chronicles+7-9%3b+John+11%3a1-29\" target=\"_blank\">2 Chronicles 7-9; John 11:1-29<\/a><\/p>\n<\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In that day you will ask in My name . . . for the Father Himself loves you . . . \u2014John 16:26-27 \u00a0 In that day you will ask in My name . . . ,\u201d that is, in My nature.
