Why Not Just Pray Directly To God?
One reason we pray in Jesus Christ’s name is because Jesus was human. We are human. If we remove being human from our prayers, we pray to God using Godliness, not humanity. Are we gods or are we humans? Can we think the thoughts of God, or can we only think the thoughts of man?
Why Pray In Jesus’s Name?
When we pray in Jesus’s name, we pray to God for humanity, not for Godliness. Why is this important? Because we could NEVER know the thoughts of God- we can only know the thoughts of men. To attempt to communicate with God (using) the same language with which God communicates with the universe would be to set us on the same level as God! If people contend that they, (or their minds,) are equal to God’s, they lack humility. That would be like saying, “Words which proceed from my lips can create life!” (as in GENESIS 1:3 and in JOHN 1:1)
How Could People Who Are So Right Be So Wrong?
God’s word is the law as man’s thoughts are policy. The fallacy is that the policy which the secular, (and, “spiritual,”) world applies to prayer is NOT God’s law! Policy is NOT law. Law trumps policy!
God’s law is far from man’s thoughts. Man’s thoughts are but policies: (and, considering the content of most men’s thoughts, we may appropriately call man’s thoughts, “butt policies!”).
In applying Jesus to prayer, we are human beings- praying to God, asking God. In removing Jesus’s name from prayer, we assume to be gods- praying to God, using God’s language!
Therefore, evoking Jesus Christ in prayer, we Humbly reach-out to the universe, asking God what to do. When we omit Jesus Christ from prayer, we assume to be supernatural beings- arrogantly meditating on the universe, telling God what to do!
So, What’s the Secret?
Praying with Jesus Christ, we ask to know the secrets of the universe, therefore, receive them.
I proclaim that Jesus Loves you! That is no secret. God made you; that is no mistake. The world has rejected you. That is not your fault! You seek guidance and love; that is your strength!
In Jesus Christ’s name, we pray!
Aho; and Amen!
