Hey all you Punks for Jesus,

Hmm.......Never saw the "In My Name" brought out like that!
Kinda creepy the way Babylon speaks the name of Jesus in a "Hocus-Pocus" mentality...
Vangie....just can't picture you as a punkette ;)

Hi Darren,
Here is a section of the article no. 8 in the Lake of Fire series.
http://bible-truths.com/lake8.html ------------------------
"But God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST DIED FOR US. Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by His blood, we shall be SAVED from wrath through Him" (Rom. 5:8-9).
And we can only gain admission and entrance into the kingdom of God through Him. Jesus said, "I am the DOOR…" (John 10:7 & 9), and there is no other. Jesus said to, "Enter ye in at the strait [narrow and cramped] gate…" (Matt. 7:13), and Jesus is the "door" of that gate.
And so this apparently, insignificant little white pebble takes on enormous spiritual value. Our pebble is "white," signifying the purity of both the Giver (Jesus) and the recipient (the overcomer). It is like a spiritual ticket that proves the bearer has been washed clean, forgiven, justified, acquitted of all guilt, and has a paid admission into the Kingdom of God, which Jesus verifies and signifies by His Own written Name! But it is not a literal white pebble with a literal name engraved in it—IT IS A SYMBOL of all of the SPIRITUAL benefits attached to being an "overcomer IN Christ."
"A new name written, which no man knows except he that receives it." [That’s CHRIST, Who] "…had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself … and His name is called The Word of God" (Rev. 19:12-13).
That’s CHRIST, Jesus is "The Word of God" (John 1:1). The world often treats God’s saints as if they were heretics. Only those who possess the Name of Jesus Christ truly "know" what the name is and all that it represents. Not all who speak of the Name, have the name "written" within them. Men’s lips are often far far from their heart.
I already covered how that "name" is representative of THE PERSON WHO BEARS IT. To believe in THE NAME of Jesus Christ is to believe ALL THAT JESUS IS! And the reason we have a "new" name is because all whom are "IN Christ" are "NEW creatures [new creations]: old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW" ( II Cor. 5:17). We not only have a new name, but we become and ARE A NEW NAME as well.
------------------------------------------------------------
Christ is perfectly in line with the will of the Father.
John 5:30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
We are in the process of developing the same spirit and mind of Christ, so we know what to ask for.
John 15:14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
1John 3:22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.
We must continue to overcome the flesh and through study and pray seek to align ourselves with His will.
Joh 7:16 So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
v. 17 "If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.
v. 18 "He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
mercy, peace and love

--- Quote ---That's what I am talking about. Just to clear the air I know you guys aren't punks.I just wasn't getting any response. I think you guys are great and thanks for the info. By the way John 16:23 and in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily I say unto you in whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name He will give you. So is it whatever we ask the Father for in Jesus name or is it whatever we ask the Father for in Jesus name only if it is in God's will first of all. Sorry, I really do get what you guys are saying. I understand. This was just food for thought. To get a thoughtfull, and meaning full conversation going.

Hi al,
This post and Brendas thread "Its All About You" makes think we shouldnt be afraid to speak up among friends. If you post something and it way off base, its ok, its a learning experience, just dont be afraid to post. Heck you never know you might inspire someone else to post something i.e. Brenda's thread and this one is inspiring me to type this now. Dont be afraid to be wrong, just be open to correction if you are. Search the scriptures for your answers. This is a great way to study the Word on a subject, a great way to practice just in case you are compelled to confront someone outside of us about our Lord and Saviour. Speak up!!!
Besides, aint it one of the things that takes part in the LOF that we all have to go through, that has to be burned out....
Rev 21:8
But the fearful(timid), and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Eph 6:20 - Show Context
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Eph 3:12 - Show Context
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him
All in Jesus,
Anthony
