Every Prayer Authorized by the Holy Spirit Becomes an Essential and Everlasting Part of Salvation Tip! Jesus promised to pass on the power from heaven to accomplish greater works for Him in this world. That promise is His Holy Spirit. Jesus intended for His chosen apostles to go and bring in a lot of fruit, the same goes for us. "...Golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints." -- Revelation 5:8. Jesus Christ regularly chooses some extraordinary place on earth to illustrate or show Himself to humankind. It is noticeably in harmony with His Divine Nature and eternal purpose for His salvation to reveal Himself in some out of the ordinary place and in some unforeseen way. Let me give you a few examples; He appeared as I Am to Moses in a burning bush in the middle of the desert. Then while He was here on earth He appeared Himself to a woman of disgusting character at Jacob's well to be the long anticipated Messiah. Another time He revealed only a part of His radiating glory to three of His chosen disciples on the high mountain of Transfiguration. Remember when He showed Himself and His purpose to give the Gentiles the Gospel to Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus? There are many other times that Jesus appeared to His people, but perhaps the most amazing exposure ever given to a human person was given to John. That was when our Savior presented Himself clothed in His majesty and power, positioned in the center of the seven churches. John could only write, "...When I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead...." -- Revelation 1: 17. Wow! Christ decided to show Himself to His holy disciple who was sent away, banish, exiled. John on the lonely isle of Patmos; this wave-washed and wind-swept mound of crushed stones and shifting sands; had the awesome privilege to see and witness the reveled Word of God and wrote it down for us. Tip! “Supplication” is the very soul of prayer in the way of pleading for some one thing, very much needed, and the need intensely felt. "...For the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ." -- Revelation 1:9. Our Savior had selected this faithful man, before time, to be the human conduit through which His magnificent truth could be given to us, His believing people. It pleased our sacred Lord to show the inspirational truth about prayer in John's pictorial words, "...Golden vials full of odors..." Evidently our Lord wants us to know that prayer is a part of worship. A prayer resembles the odors of sweet incense rising up in the air to God. Our heavenly Father is well pleased with our fervent prayers when we load them with the aroma of our heartfelt worship. Tip! 1 Timothy 2:1. Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, Our Savior wants us to understand that our prayers are placed in golden vials or bottles in His Holy Place in heaven like the golden censer (the container for burning incense), and the ark of the covenant that is covered all around with gold, were it is held in the most Holy Place in the temple, the place of worship. Have you not fully grasped this fact yet? The fact that as God's praying people, all of our sincere prayers are immortal. Yes that is true! And the Lord preserves these prayers like a sweet incense that He keeps in golden vials. If Jesus breathed the power of His endless life into His prayers and His prayers are immortal because He is immortal. If Jesus' prayers will be answered because He is the answer to all prayer; then we unquestionably are aware that Christ's prayers are living petitions sealed, saved or waiting for us in His plan of eternal salvation. Tip! Let us always be aware of the fact that the power that is achieved to do the greater works that are required for Christ, is only gained through fervent prayer and faith in Jesus Christ. All the prayers that are documented in Holy Scriptures are an everlasting piece of the Divine map of salvation. These requests or prayers were made immortal only by the power of the abiding Holy Spirit. Our indwelling Holy Spirit makes it possible for us, God's people, to pray with such longings that we do not know how to ask and cannot voice. "And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God." -- Romans 8:27. This amazing Scripture that Paul wrote under the inspiration of the same Holy Spirit that indwells us today simply says; every prayer authorized by the Holy Spirit becomes an essential and everlasting part of the total economy of God as is shown in the plan of salvation. Unless you are born again through the blood of Jesus Christ, the only prayer God will hear is your prayer asking God to forgive your sins. I can talk about prayer all day long and it will do you no good until you come face to face with your Savior Jesus Christ. He is the mediator between you and God the Father. The only way to God is through Jesus. Will you simply ask Him to forgive you? Ask Him to come into your heart and be Lord and Savior of your life, because you believe He died for your sins and in three days rose again so you can have life with Him for ever. God bless you and keep you until the day Jesus comes for us. Amen. Tip! If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ and want to know for sure that you are a child of God, then I would like to invite you to earnestly pray and ask Jesus to come into your heart.
