Ok, so maybe I'm being a Petty Betty when I say this but...when you write in Jesus name it should be Jesus with an apostrophe. Look, I said I might be Petty Betty, lol, but the apostrophe is a punctuation mark that can indicate possession.
Jesus possesses His name, as in it's His so when we ask for anything in His name or end a written prayer with the common phrase "in Jesus name", we should be writing "in Jesus' name". God (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) possesses all the land and all on, in, above and under it. We are His possession. When we ask for anything in prayer and supplication we are asking Him, essentially for His possessions. Here is the beautiful thing...He tells us to ask in His name! He wants us to ask in His name so that He can give us our hearts desires, which hopefully are aligned with His desires for us.
There are so many bible verses that speak to asking for anything and all in His name, but read the Book of John for sure. For example, John 14:13-14 literally says whatever you ask in My name, if you ask anything in My name, it shall be given to you. I also like Colossians 3:17, where it states that whatever you do in word or deed do it in Jesus' name, giving thanks to God. Now please understand that just because you ask for something in Jesus' name doesn't mean He can't say no, remember He possesses ALL and if God doesn't feel you are ready for it He will not give it to you and if you do something without His permission it may not work out well for you. Remember, you are in the world but not of the world, meaning just because you are able to do something doesn't mean you should.
So put some respect on His name! Father God I pray that what I have written here is blessed by You so that it may bless Your children, in Jesus' name, Amen.
