The Lord Jesus granted His disciples His name, not merely to perform miracles, heal the sick, and cast out demons. Still, He has also emphasised to them the power of His name while saying: "And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you." (John 16:23), meaning through Him, we can reach the Father and enjoy eternal glory. The seventy apostles realized the power the name of Jesus as they said: "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." (Luke 10:17).

We often find it hard to talk about obedience. For many people, especially the young, obedience is associated with a weak personality and submitting to others, as with parents, consultants or leaders at school, in the community, or even in the church. Many people see obedience as controlling others and forcing their opinions and experiences on them, which can cause feelings of being belittled or the desire to rebel. If these feelings are not shown through outward behavior or body language, they are nevertheless present in the mind.
- Now why does God ask for our obedience?
- Does obedience ignore the right of discussion?

Repentance is an opening up of the heart so it can accept the joyful Kingdom of God; it is the exercise of a son or a daughter who longs to enter inside the new depths of his/her heavenly Father’s bosom; it is a renewal of the inner man as he/she longs to reach the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Epistle to Ephesians 4:13). Indeed, repentance is a renouncing of sins that prevail in the darkness, and the bonding to the divine Light, the Grantor of victory.
