A Glorious Provision

Text: John 14: 13 - 14

A GLORIOUS PROVISION

The ministry of the Lord Jesus on earth was truly extensive and outstanding. He taught powerfully, He healed many of the dreaded diseases. He cast out many demons. But His ministry would not end at His death. He made wonderful provision with reference to prayer especially.

“And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

John 14:13-14

i. It is a glorious name

ii. It is a name of great power
