What does "in Christ's name" really mean? Simply put, it is to be identified with Christ in all of our desires, all of our prayers, and all of our will so that whatever He would ask, we ask; whatever He would do, we do. Again, it's more than just the words. It's actually living in union with the One whose name we bear (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all still working together) and trusting Him (the whole trinity) to encourage, intercede, and intervene on our behalf, respectively.
