I have learnt (just of late) that there are more than two different characters called Jesus in the bible. I always know that of Bar-Jesus; I have always known Jesus the Son of God. It is important to use the right term and expression. The Angels call HIM Jesus (Christ) of Nazareth. We should also do the same. We find this in the verse where the women met the Angel in the tomb of Christ. Peter, under the influence of the Spirit, said that Jesus is the Christ. He is not just Jesus, but Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
This way, I think we can more easily disarm the devil. Do not tell me God knows what we have in mind. Use the right expression.

Matthew 16:6 (other instances also used certain expression for specificity)
Elymas, also known as Bar-Jesus Acts 13:6
Jesus Justus Colossians 4:11
 
I pray to God the Father in Jesus name. I'm confident that it's not wrong to pray to Jesus, but He did advise us to pray this way.

That is, "In the name of Jesus Christ".
 
Think I might start calling him Yeshua Anointed of Nazerath from now on. Have a bit of a change from Jesus Christ.
 
I'm not familiar with the use of this term, Yeshua, and dont know the pronunciation either
 
Surely he has a real authentic human name. Yehoshua or something like that.

Is that why my wife tried to push me under a car recently
I always end my prayers in the name of Jesus. He said "you can ask anything in my name and I will do it so the Son can bring glory to the Father"

To me I'm praying to the Father through and because of his Son.
