“Ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full” (John 16:24).
Learn what it means to pray in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. “All Power… in heaven and
in earth” (Matt. 28:18) was His. There lies the divine secret. And that power, that authority
is to be exercised now on this earth through us. Our strength is in the Name of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
When trouble comes, or the Enemy, what ought we to do? Where lies our strength at such a
time? It is certainly not in our words, but in the exercise of the authority of the Name of the
Lord Jesus Christ. Let the enemy come in like a flood (Isa. 59:19); Let him come like a roaring
lion (1 Pet. 5:8) we shall bind him in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is our joy and
strength. In Christ we are more than conquerors.

“I delight to do thy will, O my God” (Psa. 40:8).
When first we came to know the Lord, we did not know how to find the will of God, how to
hear His voice, how to recognise where and how He was working. But, as we begin to walk
with Him, and to live with Him more and more closely, we discover that ‘we are workers
together with God’ (2 Cor. 6:1). When we hear the Word of God preached and see the Name
of the Lord Jesus Christ being uplifted and received, and His work being done, then our hearts
leap with joy.
When the Lord is our delight, His Name, His goodness and His glory are our exceeding joy,
and we begin to long to know and to do His will. When we can say with joy: ‘Lord, keep me
here, or send me anywhere else’; when we can truly say with all our heart: ‘Thy will be done’,
then that joy will be our strength to do His will.
Do you want the joy of the Lord to be your strength? Then learn to take delight in doing God’s
will. Find time, make time, give time to discover His will, and then make it your delight to do
it. To do this, you may have to suffer hardships, and travel a long road, but the fact remains
that you will be doing His will, and it will bring you fullest joy and pleasure.
