So simple, a child can learn it

I like books that get right to the point; I dislike books that are full of fluff and powerless words. In my opinion, a book doesn't have to be thick to be informative. A book doesn't have to have detailed artwork and a luring title to promise indispensible content. This book by Joyce Meyer is no exception. The book is skinny -- about 120 pages with 6 chapters. Thank you, Joyce. Why can't other authors take notes and learn this poignant formula? A message like this one sells itself, and the shorter amount of space taken up, the harder the punch. This book asserts that many believing Christians are living powerless lives because of their lack of faith in the power of the Name of Jesus. The Name is commonly used as a formality, or a magic word someone must say for God to answer a prayer. Christians have turned His Name into a bloodless formula for petitioning God. What Joyce Meyer does is reveal what is needed to unleash the power in the Name of Jesus Christ in the lives of believers today. This is why the book is so skinny, I think! The author says that Christianity is packed with non-believing believers. This means that many Christians have accepted Jesus as their Savior, but they have a hard time swallowing the fact that He STILL performs miracles and healings today when His Name is professed. The people that DO believe that God still works in the miraculous and supernatural are labeled "charismatics" by the evangelical world. In this sense, the statements in this book are probably not to be welcomed by certain Christian denominations, and indeed, Joyce Meyer's ministry (Life in the Word) is often a wide target of skepticism. This is unfortunate, I think. According to the Bible, there IS power in the Name of Jesus, and God HAS exhalted His Name above all other names. These are not only the author's assertions. Why not lay hold of them? Meyer claims there is an all-encompassing power that God makes available to us today when we begin professing the Name of Jesus Christ in faith. The way we activate the power is so simple, even a child can learn it: We only BELIEVE in FAITH that whatever we ask in Jesus' Name we have. (IMPORTANT NOTE: what we ask for must be in accordance with the will of God. So don't buy a lottery ticket and ask God for the magic numbers!) Get the book and give it a read. Stop doubting and ask God to reveal His supernatural character to you today, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We know that God hasn't changed -- only our beliefs have.
