In that Glad Hour We will Experience a Glorious Freedom from God that We have Desired and Prayed For

Tip! It opens the door for salvations. (Act 2:42) “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers”.

"...What things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." -- Mark 11:24.

Do you know what the main purpose of our Savior's sacrifice on the cross was? Was it not to save us from all sin and sufferings in this world? Is it not Jesus' purpose to present us spotless before the presence of the Father with exceeding great joy? And is it not also our Lord's plan to dry our tears forever, to open heaven's gates of pearl, and to give us an extravagant entry into the City of God? Yes! And again I say yes it is!

So when we pray and desire the forgiveness of our sin and ask Jesus to come into our hearts and request that He becomes the Master and Lord of our lives; we can believe that we have received Him and He has given us what we have asked for.




This is why it is permissible to interpret Jesus as saying, "Whatsoever things are required to satisfy you and sustain you in this holy way of life, when you pray, believe that you can obtain them, and you shall have them." You are not required to shed one tear of sorrow, nor squeeze out one drop of your blood, nor has it cost any of us one night of sleep to provide these things that are required to save us from the sin and sufferings in this world. Openhandedly God gave His only begotten Son to provide the things we need for time and eternity. Only the true love of our Father, Son and Holy Spirit could plan for such a rescue of humankind.

There should not be any unholy or selfish desires in the heart of a Christian. A true Christian is motivated to pray to our heavenly Father by their normal desires for spiritual food. Just like a hungry child is confident in asking their earthly father for food. The child's desire for food does not come because it is a force of habit, but it is a desire coming from the natural necessities of daily life. The motivation to pray for spiritual food and water is as normal as our desire for physical food and drink. The fact that this desire even exists is a helpful testimony that it can be fulfilled in a natural and genuine way.

Tip! “Intercession” is amplification in prayer; it is going out in broadness and fullness from ones self for others. Primarily, it does not center in praying for others, but refers to the freeness, boldness and childlike confidence in praying.

If there is a powerful desire for Christ like that of a hungry and thirsty person; such a desire cannot be satisfied with anything but a demonstration from our living Lord. This is a desire to know more about His love. This desire is to remain longer in sacred worship and to enjoy this holy relationship with Him in the quiet place of prayer known as the closet. A truly born again Christian says,

"My soul [follows] hard after thee…" - Psalm 63:8

And David as the inspired writer expressed his desire when he said,

Tip! THE possibilities of prayer are gauged by faith in God's ability to do. Faith is the one prime condition by which God works.

"As the hart [pants] after the water brooks, so [pants] my soul after thee, O God. My soul [thirsts] for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?" -- Psalm 42:1-2

People can earn their daily bread by working for it, and satisfy their physical thirst by drinking water. But a person that hungers and thirsts after Jesus Christ can only have the bread from heaven to satisfy this hunger. And only a drink of the living water from the fountain of life can satisfy this thirst that is spiritual.

We, who are truly God's people, desire a freedom that cannot be obtained while we live in this physical body. We long to be set free of our earthly bondage and to entry into the City of God. But while we are in this human body we desire, earnestly yearning not to be undressed or disembodied, but to have the resurrection body that Christ will give us.

Tip! 1 Timothy 2:1. Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,

"For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life." — 2 Corinthians 5:4

When time is over, the eternal purpose of Christ will have been completed. We, the saints of God, will be transported from this present world of sin and sorrows which has troubled us since the beginning of time, to the City of God. In that happy hour we will experience this glorious liberation of the sons and daughters of God that we have desired and prayed for.

All of God's redeemed children have no long-term city in this world; we are not of this earth. We are looking for a city that has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Our citizenship is in heaven; that is where we are also looking for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; the One who will change our sick bodies and make us like His glorious body; according to the work with which He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself. When these things happen, we will have achieved the end of our faith, because we will have received the salvation of our souls. That is what we have desired all along; to be with Jesus. And this is Jesus' main desire is to be with you forever. Are you ready?
