Demand
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do
also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my
Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the
Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my
name, I will do it" (John 14:12-14).
The verses in
today's text have nothing whatsoever to do with prayer. In yesterday's
devotion, we saw how Jesus said to use His Name in prayer to the Father.
But here we see a different use of Jesus' Name. Here, the Greek word
translated "ask" can also mean "demand."
An example of this
use of the Name is seen at the gate called Beautiful. Peter said to a
lame man sitting at the gate, "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
rise up and walk" (Acts 3:6).
Jesus said,
"Whatsoever you demand in My name, I will do it." Let that soak in a
little. When we use the Name of Jesus, it is as though Jesus were here
Himself. All the power and authority invested in Jesus, is in His Name!
You're not demanding
anything of the Father. (After all, it wasn't God who had bound that
lame man; it was the Devil who had him bound.) No, you're demanding that
the Devil give way to the Name of Jesus!
Confession:
The Name of Jesus belongs to me. Whatever I demand in the Name of Jesus
according to God's Word, He will do it!
