When you pray "In Jesus name","IJN" and "In Jesus christ name"


It has become a norm for Christians or believers all around the world to end their prayers with the name Jesus.

But where we have seen many use the acronym IJN especially when they write,we have heard many end their prayers with "in Jesus name" while very few use the words "in Jesus Christ name...so we ask, which is most effective? are they all the same? Is there anywhere in the Bible that distinctively suggests which one to use?

But before we take a look at these options, lets take a quick background look of how the name Jesus came to be.

The name Jesus is an English form of the original Ancient Aramaic word Yeh-shu-ah which is a contracted form of Yehoshu'a or JOSHUA. better known as Jesus Christ

In essence, the history of the name made us understand that his real name is Jesus Christ and with that "christ" added,it totally singles him out as christ(the anointed one) and not just any Jesus which can be any other person who bears the name.

1.When you use the acronym "IJN" you certainly don't need to be told that you are not only disrespecting that name but making a total mockery of the name because IJN could mean anything that rhymes with that acronym so this must be stopped immediately so when next you want to write,please write in full and stop making mockery of the anointed name.

2.For those who pray in the name of Jesus i can boldly say that while in your mind you could believe that you are praying in the name of Jesus the anointed one who died and rose again,i strongly suggest you do the right thing by calling out the name of the specific Jesus you mean because there are many other people bearing that name Jesus and you just might be calling out to one of them.

When you just use "in the name of Jesus" Its like calling an incomplete name..like calling out John in the midst of thousands of johns and even when you know the one you are calling,you need to be more specific if you want to catch the attention of the John you are reaching out to.

3.IN THE NAME OF Jesus CHRIST(messiah) is the most ideal and realistic way to pray because there is only one Jesus and no other one on earth,under the earth or in heaven who is the messiah and that bears this original Ancient Aramaic word Yeshua (THE ANOINTED ONE OF GOD)


The translated bibles only use the name Jesus because of the years of translation but the real original name of Jesus is Yeshua(The messiah.the anointed one,the christ).

Jesus is translated to different names in many languages but whichever name it is called in your language,always ensure you add christ to the name you use to make it distinctive.

I hope with this eye opener, we believers will hence forth start praying the right way and will always use In the name of Jesus Christ to end our prayers as that name clearly calls out to the messiah,the anointed one who came to die for us,the anointed son of GOD whose name is above every other name...GLORY HONOR,POWER AND MAJESTY BE UNTO Jesus CHRIST FOREVER MORE..AMEN.
