The privilege of a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ - Prayer

Many might not be knowingly aware of this, however, I am beginning to become more and more aware of this wonderful privilege to be able to come into the presence of the Almighty God, our heavenly Father, boldly without constraint or restraint simply because our Lord Jesus has made a way for us by His once and for all death on the cross dying as us, and hence we can FOREVER have access to the most important BEING of all, the Lord God Almighty.

Moreover, our Lord Jesus has also given us the joint-heir status with Him. Which means whatever He has we have, and as He is right now, seated on the right hand of the Father, we in Him, are also at the Father's right hand.

Just simply meditating on this joint-heir status we have in Christ supercedes any feeling of relationship with any of the most influential persons we have on earth. Whether kings or rulers or prominent political figures.

As a joint-heir with Christ, we can do like Him, just speak the Word and we have whatever we need. Like Jesus asking Peter to go and fish for a fish and in it there is money enough to pay taxes, just like Jesus looking up to heaven and giving thanks for the food and feeding the 5000 and the 4000 men. We can activate our blessings just by speaking the word and receiving the blessings. If we do a check, how many of us are indeed enjoying what we have been declaring (or praying or asking the Lord for them) we want sometime in the past?

Eg, we might have asked the Lord for a life partner. And indeed, we are already married a lovely spouse right now.

If we had prayed for a nice place to stay, and indeed, we have a roof over our head, and more so the number of rooms in our abode. Looking around us, He has given us so much more than we ever asked for. HE is a God of more than enough.

In His kingdom there is none barren. A small family would indeed become a small tribe. This is the least of the blessings for the nation of Israel. How much more when now Jesus is our personal Lord and Saviour.

We trust Him to lead us in our lives from glory to glory.

If we fumble and tumble along the way, He is right beside us to pick us up and help us continue our journey. His word is true, He will never leave us alone nor forsake us. So this means that He is right here to meet ALL OUR NEEDS according to HIS RICHES IN GLORY.

Let our hearts be so full of this revelation and be so full of the Lord's love for us that there need to be no room for fear nor remorse nor regrets. Let our hearts rejoice.

True blessedness is knowing that all our sins are forgiven and also even if we sin, the Lord does not impute sins to us. Means, He does not see them anymore, sin is no issue to Him anymore. So not sinning is not the criteria for Him to dispense His blessings upon us. Yes, sinning or not sinning, is not the criteria for us being eligible for His blessings. The criteria to receive His blessings is simply believing on His Word.

I have what His Word says I have, I am what His Word says I am.
My God is no liar. I totally believe my God and my Lord and indeed the more I believe, the more I enjoy life here on earth.

Prayer is the privilege of the believer, the more we spend time in His Word and in prayer, the more we feed our souls and let go of our worries and our cares.   Keeping our hearts light and burden-free is the key to enjoy this wonderful ride on earth with our Lord.

Many are awaiting the second-coming of our Lord Jesus physically, but to those who are His, Jesus has already come and are living in us.  

Revelation 3:20 (King James Version)

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.


Praise Jesus!




(King James Version)
Psalm 81:10  I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
