Yesterday, I met sister Lili, she asked me a question, “Whom do I need to pray to for being saved? Either Jehovah or Jesus? Jehovah is the Father, Jesus is the son. Father is greater than Son. Should we pray to the Holy Father Jehovah?
Isaiah 43:10-11, it recorded, ‘…before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no savior.’
And Exodus 3:15 records, ‘…the LORD God … is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.’
But ‘Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.’(Acts 4:12) (kjv) So I'm at a loss whose name I should pray! Can you tell me?”
I didn't answer her question. Because I thought I only prayed to Lord Jesus, and did as what Lord asked me to do, then I can be saved. I was confused about this question. Whom do I need to pray to for being saved?
the literal name and the manifestation of God "Jehovah" are no longer current, because God has officially annulled them through His Son since 2 millennia (that is why the name "Jehovah" does not exist literally anywhere in biblical books of the New Testament), now only the principled address of the name "Jehovah" remains, which from (third-person) human point of view should be: "That Who really is the only true (Lord) God of all the boundless universe(however boundless the universe considered as a whole without any subdividing differentiation at all is)", why is it so?!, because satan had had an inner/domestic power in the "heaven" for the time from the original sin(fall) to the official entry into effect of the New Testament (after the Lord, Jesus, died on the cross), with which it had then been able to manifest somehow as a part of God Himself, including by the name (of) "Jehovah", inculcating imperfect ordinances in the (old) covenant that are inimical to the worshipers as well as to the humankind in general, so the manifestation "Jehovah" had more or less been satanic (unfortunately), that is why the true God and His Son had to remove satan from Their system domain and to clean the covenant of the imperfect commandments that had been inculcated by the kingdom of satan, so the God's manifestation "Jehovah" has been suspended, and now only the true Lord God is current by the name (of) "Jesus Christ", and this time without any satanic influence, but the prayer should be addressed to God the Father according as Jesus, the Lord, says in Matthew 6th chapter, yet "in the name of Your Son/Jesus (Christ)" or "in Your Son's/Jesus (Christ)'s name" can be added to the prayer as completive or before "Amen."
here are some evidential biblical quotes:
here is how satan had had an inner/domestic power in "heaven" before Jesus' first coming:
Job 1:6-12 "there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.",
Job 2:1-6 "Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life."
and here is how the inner/domestic power of satan that it had had in the "heaven" has been destroyed and (how) the imperfect ordinances of the covenant have been officially annulled:
Matthew 5:38- "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil(i.e. do not render evil for evil to any human): but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also(i.e. but if any person treats you badly, treat it well)...",
John 12:31-32 "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out(i.e. now the whole inner/domestic power of the devil will permanently be destroyed). And I, if(i.e. and when) I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.",
John 14:30 "Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world(i.e. the wicked) cometh, and hath nothing in me.",
Matthew 27:50-56 "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom(i.e. all the imperfect/inimical part of the ordinances in the God's covenant/testament have completely been annulled); and the earth did quake(i.e. and the powers did shake), and the rocks rent(i.e. and the whole inner/domestic power of satan has permanently been removed/destroyed); And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many(note: because when the devil had had that power in the "heaven", it had been able to hold their bodies unresurrected in the graves). Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.",
Colossians 2:14-15 "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances(i.e. annulling the satanic part of the ordinances in the God's covenant/testament) that was against us(i.e. that was prejudicial to the people), which was contrary to us(i.e. which was adverse to us), and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers(i.e. and having denounced the unrighteous spiritual/religious systems and powers), he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.",
Revelation 12:3-12 "there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea(i.e. woe to the worshipers of the human(666) religion and the occultism)! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."
