Victoria Orenze cautions that using such shorthand could have a negative spiritual impact.
In the video, she stated something that made viewers consider the sincerity and profundity of their religious language; “So we abbreviate… we abbreviate the name of Jesus. IJN. Then you will say your prayer is not answered.”
Orenze continues by highlighting the unmatched strength found in the entire name of Jesus Christ.
Many of Orenze’s followers have found resonance in her message, especially those who are unsure of the sincerity of their spiritual activities.
