The Name of Jesus: How to Use It to Command Supernatural Results | E.W. Kenyon

Most Christians have been taught to use the name of Jesus at the end of a prayer. But what if that is not where the name belongs? What if in Jesus' name was never meant to be the religious signature you attach after you have finished asking God for what you want? What if the name of Jesus is not the

conclusion of your prayer, but the authority from which the entire prayer is supposed to proceed? Think about what happens in most prayer meetings. A believer prays for healing. They pray for provision. They pray for their family. They pray against the enemy. They ask God for direction. And then, after everything has been said, they add

three familiar words, "In Jesus' name. Amen." And because we have repeated those words so many times, we have stopped asking what they actually mean. But E.W. Kenyon believed that misunderstanding the name of Jesus is one of the greatest reasons believers live beneath their covenant rights. Because the name was never given to the

church as a religious formula. It was given as authority. Jesus did not tell his disciples, "Ask for whatever you want, and when you finish your prayer, remember to mention my name." He said, "Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do." In my name. That is not merely a phrase you say. It is a

position you occupy. It is an authority you exercise. It is a legal standing from which you approach God, address circumstances, resist the enemy, and enforce what Christ has already accomplished. And once you understand that, your prayer life can never remain the same. Because you will stop treating the name of Jesus like the final

sentence of your prayer. And you will begin to understand it as the authority behind every word you speak. That is the revelation Kenyon wants the believer to understand. The name is not where the prayer ends. The name is where the authority begins. E.W. Kenyon spent decades studying the name of Jesus and its proper function in the life and
