In Joshua, chapter fourteen, verse fourteen, Caleb remained faithful to God and received in full his promised inheritance. His life illustrates the believer’s faithfulness and acceptance of the promise from the father under the new covenant: the Holy Spirit. After repentance and agreement with God’s new covenant terms, believers must receive whatever spiritual gifts God wishes to bestow, manifest the fruit of the Spirit, and demonstrate wisdom. All these are the inheritance of those filled with the Spirit and power.
Despite being widely misinterpreted, Jesus does not give a blanket promise to do whatever we want, whenever we want it. The context is reassurance to the disciples in John fourteen, one through eleven, and encouragement to hold fast in the face of hardship. It’s also tied to Christ’s promise that those who follow Him have the opportunity to do “greater” works, as in John fourteen twelve. A condition here is asking “in [His] name.” To act “in the name of” someone means to invoke their authority and will rather than your own.
An ambassador who offers an agreement “in the name of the king” is enacting the decision of that king. A police officer who says, “stop, in the name of the law!” Is or should be acting out the will of the government, not their own opinions. To pray “in Jesus’ name” is not evoking a magical spell, as if the words themselves have power. It is possible that phrase and not praying “in the name” of Christ. That is the same as a police officer who demands a bribe can’t do so “in the name of the law.” Legitimately, those who refuse to offer bribes could they arrest?.
Anything we ask for in prayer is according to the character and will of God if granted. Those who claim to follow God prove it by their actions as in John fourteen fifteen.
