Lack of knowledge of our right to use the Name of Jesus is
the third great hindrance to prayer. A great void of knowledge
of the power in Jesus’ Name exists in most Christian circles.

John 16:23 says, “And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the
Father in my name, he will give it you.”

Go before the Father in Jesus’ Name. You are already
going before Him in Jesus’ power and His faith. Your prayer
will be answered.

No believer would ever doubt the power of Jesus’ Name
or that the Father hears that Name in prayer. What, then, is
the problem? The root of unbelief where the Name of Jesus is
concerned is in not believing we have the right to use it. Will
the Father hear me pray in that Name?

I have a right to use my name because it was given to me
by my father. He gave me the name of Kenneth Copeland. I
came into the world with the right to use it. When you make
Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, God becomes your Father.

The Bible says any man who believes that Jesus is the Christ,
is born of God (1 John 5:1). Once you realize you have the
right to use the family name, you will see God’s power operating
mightily in your behalf.

Gloria and I were driving down the freeway one day. The
car in front of us began to fishtail. The second time it came
across the freeway, it hit the curb and started up on its side.

Gloria shouted at the top of her voice, “Jesus, help them!” It
was so strong when she shouted the Name of Jesus that the
car slammed back down on all four wheels and straightened
out, coming to a full stop. God responds to the Name of Jesus!

I believe Satan and his cohorts are reminded of their defeat
at Calvary every time they hear the Name of Jesus!

You should become so aware of the power in that Name
that you guard it like your own—because it is yours!
