Revolutionizing Your Spiritual Practice: Rethinking the Meaning of "In Jesus Name"

If you're looking to deepen your spiritual practice and tap into the transformative power of faith, consider using affirmative prayer when treating others through New Thought practices. This powerful practice has the potential to transform not only your own life, but also the lives of those around you.

When treating someone else using affirmative prayer, through our authority we focus on affirming the positive outcome of their desires and intentions, rather than simply asking for what they want. It is a way of aligning our consciousness with divine intelligence and expressing our faith in the transformative power of spiritual practice.

One example of authoritative affirming prayer in the New Testament can be found in the book of Mark, chapter 11, verses 22-24. In this passage, Jesus teaches his disciples about the power of faith and the importance of speaking affirmatively when praying:

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

In this passage, Jesus is encouraging his disciples to speak with authority and confidence when praying. He is affirming that they have the power to create change through their faith and words.

This passage is a reminder that our words and thoughts have the power to shape our reality. By speaking affirmatively and aligning our consciousness with divine intelligence, we can tap into the transformative power of prayer and create the life we truly desire.

So, instead of simply asking for healing for someone else in “Jesus Name”, we authoritatively affirm that they are already whole and healthy beings, and that this health is already present in their lives. Here are a few examples of an authoritative affirmative prayer statements you might use when treating someone else:

"I affirm that [person's name] is filled with divine health and vitality, and their body is a perfect expression of the divine intelligence within them."
"I affirm that [person's name] is blessed with unlimited abundance and prosperity, and they joyfully receive all the good that the universe has to offer."
"I affirm that [person's name] is surrounded by love and peace, and they radiate this love and peace out into the world around them.”

By using authoritative affirmative prayer when treating others, we can help them shift their thoughts and beliefs in positive ways and open themselves up to new opportunities and experiences. We can help them tap into the limitless potential of the universe and create the life they truly desire.

Of course, it is important to remember that authoritative affirmative prayer is not a substitute for professional medical or psychological treatment if this is where your faith level currently is.  It is simply a tool for spiritual support and transformation.

If you're looking to deepen your spiritual practice incorporate authoritative affirmative prayer into your treatment work. You will find that the power of authoritative affirmative prayer will produce the desired outcome. By expressing authoritatively affirming statements It’s what is meant by praying in “Jesus Name”.  

Recently, in my spiritual coaching practice, I had the privilege of treating a senior who was experiencing back pain after a surgical procedure. Instead of using a literal interpretation of "In Jesus Name," I applied the principles of Universal Mind Treatment through an authoritative affirming prayer for her discomfort.

Later that day, I received a text message from her expressing her gratitude and sharing how she felt immediate relief from the authoritative affirming treatment. It was incredibly rewarding to help her tap into the power of her own faith and facilitate healing in a way that felt comfortable and resonant for her.
