Why should we pray in Jesus name? Does praying in Jesus name make a greater impact? As a new believer I asked these kinds of questions. This teaching will help you to understand the power of Jesus name. Jesus told His disciples that in His name they'd cast out demons, that in His name they'd lay hands on the sick and the sick would recover. That in His name they would raise the dead and speak in new tongues. Jesus acts according to His authority and He is able to respond to our requests because His authority is limitless.
