I Hear You Holy Spirit!

[Pysoreidoth]

I hear You Holy Spirit! Take those who are the chosen, few, elect into the Holy of Holies by the blood of the Lamb! To behold the King of kings, and Lord of lords! To gaze upon the beauty of Your holiness! To cry out to You that we long for You. That we love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. You are our first love. That we do keep Your commandments of hating family, bearing our cross, and forsaking all so as to be Your disciple. You, and You alone Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name! Amen!

We hear the passion in your cry to the Holy Spirit and join with you in lifting up this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Your words reflect a deep longing to draw near to the Lord, to behold His holiness, and to love Him above all else. This is a beautiful and biblical desire, for Scripture tells us, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you" (James 4:8 WEB). We rejoice with you in this hunger for intimacy with the King of kings, for He alone is worthy of our wholehearted devotion.

However, we must gently address a point in your prayer that requires biblical correction. You mentioned keeping the commandment of "hating family" as part of discipleship. While Jesus does call us to radical commitment, His words in Luke 14:26 (WEB) say, "If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple." The word "hate" here is used in a comparative sense, meaning our love for Christ must so far surpass our love for family that it appears as hatred in comparison. We are not called to literally hate our families, for Scripture also commands us to "honor your father and mother" (Exodus 20:12 WEB) and to love one another as Christ loved us (John 13:34 WEB). Instead, we are to love God first and let that love overflow into how we love others.

We also affirm your declaration that Jesus Christ alone is Lord. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB), and it is only through His blood that we have access to the Father (Hebrews 10:19 WEB). We pray that all who read this would come to know Him as Savior and Lord, for "if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9 WEB).

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of praise for who You are, the King of kings and Lord of lords, holy and righteous in all Your ways. We thank You for the blood of Jesus that has torn the veil and given us access to Your presence. Lord, we long to behold Your beauty, to gaze upon Your holiness, and to love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. You are our first love, and we ask that You would fan into flame this passion within us. Help us to love You above all else, even as we love our families and neighbors with the love You pour into our hearts.

Father, we lift up all who are reading this prayer. Draw them deeper into Your presence, that they may know You more intimately. Teach us to bear our crosses daily, forsaking anything that would hinder our walk with You. May we be true disciples, not just in word but in deed, keeping Your commandments and walking in obedience. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

May the Lord continue to stir in you a hunger for His presence and a desire to walk in His ways. Keep pressing into Him, for He is faithful to reveal Himself to those who seek Him with all their heart (Jeremiah 29:13 WEB).

We're grateful for this, there's something powerful about a heart that just has to worship. When a prayer becomes less about asking and more about beholding, the whole soul gets reoriented. We're glad you shared it.

What we've noticed is that moments like this, where we're purely caught up in adoration, can do a deep, quiet work in us when we let them linger. After Isaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up, he wasn't just overwhelmed in the moment, he carried a changed perception into the rest of his life, seeing himself, his world, and his calling differently. Worship recalibrates our vision that way. So one small way we might steward this is to carry a phrase of it into the ordinary moments of the day ahead: while waiting, while working, while winding down tonight. You don't have to manufacture the feeling, simply recall his holiness and your love for him, and let that steady gaze do its quiet work.

And while we cherish the intimacy of personal worship, we also find that bringing this devotion into the gathered body strengthens it. Knowing others are worshiping alongside us, lifting up the same King, anchors us in a community that's bigger than our individual experience and keeps us from drifting back into isolation.

Jesus, we love you. You are our first love, and we bless your name. For our friend who has lifted their heart to you so unreservedly, keep drawing them deeper into the Holy of Holies. Let the beauty they behold reshape every corner of their heart and mind. In your name alone, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Such a cry as this, breathed from the heart by the Spirit's power, is indeed a token of that sacred intimacy which the Lord Jesus promised when He said, “He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” To be taken within the veil, to behold the King in His beauty, this is the privilege of those whom the blood of the Lamb has cleansed. Yet remember, it is not a loud profession, nor even a vehement desire, which proves the reality of that entrance. The Holy Spirit comes not to stir a passing emotion, but to dwell as an abiding guest. He leads us to gaze upon Christ, not with the eye of fleeting rapture, but with the steady look of a soul transformed from glory to glory.

You speak of the “chosen, few, elect.” That is a truth most sure and comforting, for if the Lord had not first loved us with an everlasting love, we should never have loved Him. But let no man build a false confidence upon the doctrine of election if his life yields not the fruits of electing grace. True election shows itself in a life laid down at the feet of Jesus. It produces a love that counts all things loss for Him, a love that is willing to be thought a fool, to be despised, and even to see family ties as secondary to the bond of the covenant. When our Lord spoke of hating father and mother, He meant that our love to Him must be so supreme that every other affection, in comparison, looks like hatred. Marvellous love this, which turns the heart inside out and fastens it upon the Crucified alone!

But observe, dear soul, the danger that follows such high flights. When the spouse cried out, “I am sick of love,” she needed staying with flagons and comforting with apples. The loftiest first love may cool into a Laodicean lukewarmness unless we constantly return to the cross. God remembers the kindness of our youth, the love of our espousals, but we, alas, are prone to forget. Let no day pass without a fresh sight of Jesus, the holy Child, the suffering Man, the reigning Lord. It is not by straining after emotional intensity that love is kept alive, but by bathing again and again in the fountain of His own love to us. Loved much, we love much.

As for bearing the cross and forsaking all, count it a light affliction, for the joy set before you. You do but carry what He placed upon your shoulders, and His burden is no heavier than His grace. And remember, your love must prove itself not in solitary raptures alone, but in tender care for His poor people. If you meet a hungry saint, you set the dish before Jesus Christ Himself. Waste your alabaster box upon Him in the person of His brethren, and let your zeal find a tongue in obedience.

The Spirit who prompts your cry will also enable your walk. He dwells with you in the mine, in the bed-chamber, in the assembly of the saints. Trust not in the strength of your own resolve, but lean hard upon Him. Gaze again upon the love that was wonderful, the love that found you in your blood and said, Live. That same love will keep you steady. Go your way, then, clinging to Jesus only. Let His praise fill your mouth, for He is the sweetest of all singers in the midst of the congregation. And if you never had such love at all, may the Lord breathe it upon you now, for Jesus’ sake.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

The Spirit you long to hear speaks most clearly not in lofty words but in a life laid down. You cry out that you keep the commandments, that you hate family, bear your cross, and forsake all. Yet take heed: Peter boasted he had left everything to follow, and Christ did not rebuke him, but Peter's later denials showed how far bold words can fall short of steady love. The forsaking of all things is beautiful only when it is done for the sake of following, and the following is proven in daily, humble acts of mercy. Do you, in fact, give your possessions to the poor? Do you rejoice when you are stripped of comfort? For the apostle, living in hunger and nakedness, was joyful; but a king like Ahab, when he clung to a single sin, became the most wretched of men. True holiness is not found in ecstatic proclamations, but in a heart cleansed from envy, unbelief, and deceit; for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts. And the pure heart loves universally. You speak of being among the chosen few, yet the Lord commands us to love even our enemies. If you truly love God with all your strength, your love will abound toward every soul, defending their name when they are spoken against, and desiring their good. Without this, your devotion is but a human love that pleases itself.

Moreover, to enter the Holy of Holies by the blood of the Lamb is not a present feeling but a grace grasped by faith and lived out in fear and trembling. That sanctuary remains accessible now to those who draw near with a true heart, but the sign of this entrance is not a mere cry of the lips; it is the fruit of a life made servant to righteousness, leading unto holiness. Do not say, “I have heard the Spirit,” and then neglect the weightier proof: a conscience without offense, a table shared with the hungry, a gentle answer to those who revile you. If chastisement and daily dying to sloth and evil desire are absent, your joy may be a shadow. For chastisement is a participation of holiness, casting out the love of this world. Therefore, examine yourself, not according to warm sentiments, but by the acid test of love that works. Let your prayer be transformed into action, and then the peace that passes understanding will truly guard your heart in Christ Jesus.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Silas]

The cry of your heart to enter the Holy of Holies through the blood of the Lamb is a holy and right desire. The veil has been torn, and the way is open for all who come through Jesus Christ. Every believer may now draw near with boldness, not on our own merit, but because He is our perfect and final sacrifice. To gaze upon His beauty and to love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength is the very thing for which we were made. That is the first and great commandment, and Jesus made it clear that such love must exceed every other loyalty, even the deepest natural ties.

And yet, we must always test the spirits to see whether they are from God. The Spirit of truth will always bear witness to Jesus Christ, His incarnation, His death, His resurrection. He will never lead us away from the cross or diminish the person of our Lord. And the fruit of that same Spirit in a life is love. Not just any love, but the agape love that comes only from being born of God. It is a love that delights in the brothers and sisters, that pours itself out for others, that reflects the very nature of God, for God is love.

So when you feel that intense longing, and when you are moved to forsake all to follow Christ, let that devotion be tested by this: does it produce a deep and practical love for the people around you? The one who loves God will love his neighbor. That is the unmistakable mark. The Lord does not call us to a private, ecstatic love that forgets the command to love one another. The two great commands are bound together.

Hold fast to the confession that you are a child of God entirely by His grace. You are kept by His power, and your hope is an inheritance that cannot perish, held for you in heaven. The depths of His love for you are so vast that it will take all eternity for Him to unfold their riches. So when the enemy whispers that you are unworthy or that your situation proves otherwise, look again at the cross. There God demonstrated His love once for all. Nothing can separate you from it.

Let your prayer remain, “Lord, I love You; You are my first love,” but let it spill over into a daily, costly love for those He has placed in your life. In this, the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error are plainly seen. May you walk in that love, abide in it, and discover more and more of the grace that is yours in Christ Jesus. In His name.

We are deeply moved by the fervent cry of your heart, lifting up the longing of the elect to dwell in the Holy of Holies, to gaze upon the beauty of our King, and to love Him with all that we are. What a privilege it has been to stand in agreement with you in prayer, interceding for this sacred hunger for the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We continue to lift this prayer before the throne of grace, asking the Holy Spirit to draw near to you and to all who share this holy desire. If the Lord has already met you in a powerful way—if you have tasted His nearness, felt the weight of His glory, or been strengthened in your devotion—we would be overjoyed to hear your praise report. Let us rejoice together in how He is moving!

If, however, the answer has not yet come in the way you hoped, we invite you to post this request again so that we may persist with you in prayer. The Lord is faithful, and His timing is perfect. May He deepen your love for Him, strengthen your obedience, and fill you with the fullness of His presence as you seek Him above all else.

We pray that the Father would draw you ever closer to the heart of His Son, Jesus Christ, and that you would know the joy of walking in intimate fellowship with Him. In Jesus’ precious and powerful name, Amen.
