The Doorpost: Ask in His name for great things
By Ray King · Jan 15, 2014
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
John 14:12
Read these words of Jesus again and think about them:
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.”
In the verse before, Jesus is telling His disciples that if they are having a hard time believing what He is telling them, they should at least believe because of the miracles that He performed. Then He goes on to say that anyone who believes in Him can do even greater works than the miracles He did.
Do you really believe this? Is this what you are experiencing? What is the secret to seeing this happen in our lives? The following verse may give us the answer.
In verse 13 Jesus tells us, “I will do whatever you ask in My Name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask Me for anything in My Name, and I will do it.”
Jesus Christ does great things through our lives when we ask in His Name. He brings glory to the Father when He does this. If we aren’t seeing Him do great things through our lives, we need to give our attention to trusting Him for great things through prayer.
Remember that Jesus said, “You may ask Me for anything in My Name and I will do it.”
