THE NATURE AND CULTURE OF THE ASCENDED LIFE IN PRAYER. PART 1. BEYOND DEVOTIONAL SERIES 176

Published: Nov. 16, 2019, 6:44 a.m.

THIS IS A KINGDOM RESOURCE THAT SHIFTS OUR ORIENTATION AND FOCUS OF PRAYER TO THAT OF THE ASCENDED LIFE AND CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE IN CHRIST.

The Father is revamping our prayer UNDERSTANDING and philosophy of kingdom realities. We can longer prayer from a weak, soulish, immature perspective and expect the fullness of the kingdom of God to be revealed in us in this season of the ascended reality Crist. I believe the Father desire to see our prayer breakthrough the poverty, beggarly minds. Where we are spiritually determined how we see not just ourselves, but also the things of the spirit which includes the matters of prayers.

Prayer is a call to divine experience and ultimately, to maturing into the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Only those with the orientation of the ministry of the revelation of Jesus Christ will see prayer beyond the mechanical tools of merely getting their needs met. In the ministry of the revelation of Ascension, everything in and around us starts confirming into the glorious image of the Son of God. The more we start growing in our prayer Intercessory life, the more the focus and direction of our prayer start to transform. The Father's good intention is that we should be conformed to the image of his Son in all things.

The ascended reality of Jesus Christ is a game-changer in any form of ministry or spiritual initiative.  There are several things the Lord is emphasizing in his Body today that is shifting our focus away from all forms of godliness to the true nature and life in Christ. Christ is the center-point of all we are called to receive and become in life.

The moment we lose this focal point, we shift away from the true essence of sound, biblical, spirituality, and therefore, our prayers and other engagement become soulish and religious. We need to reclaim the heart of prayer either from the point of a personal petition or corporate intercessory request. We need to search the word of the Lord carefully to know and understand the heart of the Father for our spiritual ministry. Prayer and intercession can be done effectively by allowing the revelation of the ascended Jesus Christ to lead and guide our hearts in and through prayer, and I strongly believe this is the way to advance in the ministry of the ascended life.

1 John 14

And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.…
