Is this advice only addressed to the apostles or to the entire world? Cause it doesn't seem to be working nowadays. It was meant for the apostles and those who would be led to Christ hearing the Gospel good news. This is a great resource. One excerpt on this passage that includes delightful informative commentary. There is much more at the link. Blessings. Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible Whatsoever ye shall ask - This promise referred particularly to the apostles in their work of spreading the gospel; it is, however, true of all Christians, if what they ask is in faith, and according to the will of God, James 1:6; 1 John 5:14. In my name - This is equivalent to saying on my account, or for my sake. If a man who has money in a bank authorizes us to draw it, we are said to do it in his name. If a son authorizes us to apply to his father for aid because we are his friends, we do it in the name of the son, and the favor will be bestowed on us from the regard which the parent has to his son, and through him to all his friends. So we are permitted to apply to God in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, because God is in him well pleased Matthew 3:17, and because we are the friends of his Son he answers our requests. Though we are undeserving, yet he loves us on account of his Son, and because he sees in us his image. No privilege is greater than that of approaching God in the name of his Son; no blessings of salvation can be conferred on any who do not come in his name. That will I do - Being exalted, he will be possessed of all power in heaven and earth Matthew 28:18, and he therefore could fulfill all their desires. That the Father may be glorified in the Son - See the notes at John 13:31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is what is written in Scripture. Yes, "it is working today". Exactly as Jesus Says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible....or maybe we simply have lost the true meaning of "ask in my name".....so we aren't testing your theory properly..... Or maybe OTHER conditions were presumed to be additional prerequisites...and perhaps those conditions are not present at this time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
