Holding Forth

Anything in My Name.
So often I hear “in the Name of Jesus,” and with it, the connotation is ‘I said it in His Name, so He is obligated to do it.’ It’s like, as long as we use His name, it’s as good as done. And if it is, in fact, in His Name, it is as good as done.

My Search Assist online said ‘in the name’ means: “This usage implies that the person is representing another’s interests or authority.” source

That’s pretty plain to me. What we name, Yeshua, better have already named it to us by His Spirit and confirmed it by His Word, if we expect to see it come to be. We’d best be cautious with our naming things, wouldn’t you agree?
I mean, if He has revealed a matter to us by His Spirit and confirmed it by His Word, we can surely know whatever it is, will be, in His time. And if He has not, well, we don’t want it anyway, or we shouldn’t!

Blessed, Blessed

We have heard it said. Blessed, blessed, so blessed!
And it’s true, if we are known by Yeshua in the forgiveness of our sin, we are blessed. Immeasurably blessed! Let’s not keep it to ourselves. Others need this blessing too! And if we don’t proclaim it to them, who will?

Responsible

See to it, it says.

The phrase “see to it” is commonly used to indicate that someone is responsible for making sure a particular action happens or a task is completed. source

Could the conclusion be anything other than that we are responsible to LEARN CHRIST?

We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
