Call UsThe Power Of Attorney – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional March 6th
(Our Legal Authority To Act On Jesus’ Behalf)
TO THE BIBLE: John 14:13-14
“And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
LET’S TALK
When we say that Jesus gave us the power of attorney to use His Name, many don’t understand what this means.
The term “power of attorney” refers to a legal authorization that gives a designated person the power to act on one’s behalf.
It therefore means that every request you make is as though Jesus were the one making it, since you’re making it in His Name.
John, one of the apostles, captured this idea in his writings by sharing the words of Jesus. For instance, in John 14:13-14, Jesus said, “…Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
This means when you make a demand or request in His Name, it’s extraordinary—like a legal authority granted to you.
It’s like what Paul tells us in Colossians 3:17: “…Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
There’s another beautiful reference in John 16:23; it says, “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.”
When He said, “And in that day…,” the Lord was referring to the day of the new deal—the day of salvation that He came to consummate. That day began from His resurrection.
So, we’re in “that day” where we use and live in His Name. If you’ve ever wondered why, all over the world, we use the Name of Jesus in prayer, this is the reason.
So, right now, use His Name to effect changes in your world. He told us we could, and you should! Address issues in your nation, your physical body, your school, etc., in His Name and expect a change.

Mark 16:17-18; Acts 3:16; John 16:24
Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for giving me the power of attorney to use the matchless Name of Jesus to effect changes and control circumstances. In the Name of Jesus, I speak peace over the nations; I declare that the Gospel has free course in the nations of the world. I walk in victory and dominion today and always, because I live in and do all things through the power in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
