But Peter said, Silver and gold (money) I do not have; but what I do have, that I give to you: in [the use of] the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!

Acts 3:1-6

If we would pray more for people in the Name of Jesus instead of judging them, we would see more breakthroughs in their lives and in ours. After all, it takes less time to pray than it does to judge and criticize.

Let me give you an example.

Suppose we see a young man walking down the street. Because he is stumbling, we assume he must be stoned on drugs or drunk on alcohol. Since he is dirty and unkempt, we figure he is probably homeless.

How many times do we look at such a person and say to ourselves, “What a shame for anybody to waste their life like that. What a terrible way to live. I just can't believe people let themselves get into such a sorry state.”

Yet it would take much less time and energy to simply say, “Father, in Jesus’ Name I pray for that young man to be delivered from his distressing situation. Send the perfect laborer into his path, someone he will listen to, someone who can speak a word in season to him. Thank You, Lord, that from this moment forward You are going to work in his life so that he will no longer be lost.”

Like Peter and John in the passage in Acts 3, we need to learn to pray our way through the day and rid ourselves of the mentality that prayer is a physical posture we assume somewhere at home or in church. Thinking that we need to be eloquent or sound fancy before God will hear our prayer is a mindset we need to overcome.

Prayer is simply talking to God. And we can do that every day, all day long. Like Peter and John, we need to pray in the Name of Jesus—with faith in that Name. Praying in the Name is part of our inheritance rights (as sons and daughters of God) through the blood of Jesus.

There is power in the blood of Jesus, just as there is power in the Name of Jesus.
