JESUS: THE REASON FOR OUR SEASON

Do not underestimate the enormous, profound, absolute truth that in the name of Jesus is crucial. The reason anything goes right is because of Jesus. The reason for any hope is always because of him. Church flows in sweet and effective mystery because of the one who paid it all.

We are to honor his name. If not careful "in the name of Jesus" can become a "10-4" to our signing off on prayer. It isn't. It is the secret code (used out in public, no less) by disciples to credit the one---the only one---who runs the show. Nothing is ever about our plans. It is about Jesus blessing plans, leading efforts, and causing results.

You may wish for this and that. Be sure to place the signet ring of God---the name of Jesus---upon every task before you. Imprint your heart's desire with the authority of God's touch. How this works and why this works is up for grabs as to explanation. We know this for sure; the work of God in Christ Jesus is most amazing and our job is to believe in the very one whom He sent....John 6:29.
