Dear Grace and Truth Family,
Isn’t it amazing how the LORD has literally “reconstructed” the content of our prayers. Because of the transformation taking place in the mind, we see HIM now from a different view; our mentality has been changed. The image HE has given us, HIS church, reflects another reality based on HIS TRUTH. This reality displaces our own which is based on a lie. Our LORD has done a wonderful thing!
Also with this transformation comes a new mentality of who we (the church) are in Christ Jesus. The Gentile ideas about how our Father God looks at us are washed by the water of the WORD. This is an impossible work by man, though we “try to become better people and better Christians” so God is pleased when HE looks at us. With our GOD, though, all things are possible, and HIS salvation is an ongoing process of learning our LORD JESUS and our “new life” in HIM.
Thus we speak and converse with HIM according to the revelation of “who” HE is and “who” HE has made us. Our prayers are no longer sessions for begging and pleading, weeping and despairing, making empty promises and confessing our “mistakes.” Our prayers are now by HIS SPIRIT—full of exaltation, adoration, and veneration. We make boast of HIS power and might. We declare HIS promises and faithfulness. We rejoice as we fellowship with our LORD JESUS and FATHER GOD.
We are thankful for our “reconstruction”. Yes, HE has done a wonderful thing! Hallelujah!
Love in Christ Jesus,
