Ask in Jesus’ Name

I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

Jesus as intercessor is the picture that the Savior describes in these verses. The Son of God.

How many times do we ask God for things that Jesus has already promised? Do we ask in the name of Jesus, as the African church does so naturally? Do we even ask expectantly as the pentacostal church does so completely? Or do we not ask at all, as most people do?
