We pray that the significance of one prayer is, Lord, what in Your deeds, Lord, would be revealed and not hidden? To be confessed in words, in deeds, in time / Our person - to encounter the Word, Lord?
We pray that the significance of one prayer is, Lord, what in Your deeds, Lord, would be revealed and not hidden? To be confessed in words, in deeds, in time / Our person - to encounter the Word, Lord?
We join with you, ### and ###, in this deep desire that the Lord would reveal His deeds and not hide them, and that what He is doing would be openly confessed in words, in deeds, and in time, and that each person would truly encounter the Word Himself.
We hear your heart crying out for revelation and not concealment. This aligns with the heart of God, for He is a God who reveals Himself. The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. Psalm 19:1. And He promises to those who seek Him, Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3. For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Luke 8:17. What you are praying, that His significance in a single prayer would be made manifest, is precious to Him, for He hears every prayer offered in faith. This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. 1 John 5:14.
You pray to encounter the Word, and we rejoice in this, for the Word is not merely a message but a Person. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1. The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14. To encounter the Word is to encounter Jesus Christ Himself. For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. Hebrews 4:12. And you desire that this encounter would lead to confession in words and deeds, which is exactly what Scripture calls us to. Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 10:32. That 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. Faith is not hidden, it is confessed and it is lived, for faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. James 2:17. And Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16.
We notice you prayed to the Lord, and we stand with you in seeking Him, and we want to gently encourage you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and that our prayers are heard. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12. It is by believing in Jesus, that He died for our sins and was raised from the dead, that we are reconciled to God and can boldly come before His throne. We encourage you to continually come in that name, for there is power and assurance in the name of Jesus.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We thank You that You are not a God who hides Yourself, but One who reveals Your glory, Your mercy, and Your mighty deeds to those who seek You. We ask that for ### and ### and for all who are praying this prayer, You would reveal what has been hidden and make clear the significance of each prayer offered before You. Let Your deeds be seen and not concealed, and give boldness to confess You in words that speak truth, in deeds that show Your love, and in time that is faithful and enduring.
Lord, cause each person to encounter the living Word, Jesus Christ, not only as knowledge but as a living presence. Open eyes to see Him, open hearts to receive Him, and open mouths to confess Him. Let Your Word dwell richly within, and let lives be transformed to walk in Your light. We ask that You draw each one closer to salvation and deeper fellowship through Jesus, for without Him we can do nothing. We trust that You hear this prayer because we ask in the name of Jesus, our only hope and our only way to You. Let Your will be done and Your name be glorified in all things. Amen.

Thank you for sharing this honest prayer with us, ###. We hear a sincere longing in your words to meet the Lord truly, for His work to be seen clearly and not stay hidden, and for your own life to answer Him in words and actions over time.
That desire to encounter the Word is precious, and we believe God delights in it. He is not distant or reluctant to be known. He has shown His heart to communicate with us, most fully in Jesus, and He continues to meet us as we seek Him.
If it helps, one simple way to keep this prayer before the Lord is to give it a little space each day. You might take a few quiet minutes to speak this same prayer aloud to Him, then sit and listen as you read a short portion of Scripture slowly, asking Him to show you one thing He wants you to notice for that day. There is no pressure to find an immediate answer, just a steady openness to Him.
We are praying for you both now.
Father, thank You for ### and ### and their desire to know You more. Reveal Yourself to them in ways they can see and understand, and draw them close to Jesus. Give them grace to walk with You in word and deed, day by day, and to hear Your voice as they seek You in Your Word. Lead them in Your will and keep them close to You. In Jesus name, amen.

Beloved of All
Yhden sydämestä nousseen rukouksen merkitys on suuri Herran edessä, sillä Herra ei halveksi pientäkään uskoa kun se turvautuu Kristukseen. Te kysytte, että Herra toisi teoissaan esiin sen mikä ei saa jäädä salatuksi, ja että saisitte tunnustaa Herraa sanoissa ja teoissa ajassanne ja kohdata Hänen sanansa henkilökohtaisesti. Tämä on juuri sitä mitä evankeliumi vaikuttaa.
Jumalan Sana, jos se tulee voimassa sieluunne, tulee niin erikseen juuri teille kuin olisitte ainoat ihmiset koko maailmassa. Uskonnossa ei mikään muu kelpaa kuin selvä persoonallisuus. Ei riitä että toiset uskovat puolestanne tai että tunnustus on vain tapa tai peritty muoto. Sen täytyy olla teidän oma tietoinen osanne, teidän oma suun tunnustuksenne. Sillä sydämen uskolla tullaan vanhurskaaksi ja suun tunnustuksella pelastutaan. Usko ja tunnustus kuuluvat yhteen ja niiden tulos on pelastus.
Herra tahtoo että tunnustatte Kristuksen siinä mitä Hän on itsessään ja mitä Hän on ollut teille ja tehnyt teidän puolestanne. Älkää hävetkö Kristusta ja Hänen sanojaan tässä ajassa. Vaikka olisitte arkoja ja hitaasti puhuvia, Herra kuulee senkin tunnustuksen joka kirjoitetaan vapisevin käsin tai kuiskataan hiljaa. Tärkeintä on että se on tosi. Pienikin usko on tosi usko kun se alkaa ja päättyy Jeesukseen. Se on Jumalan lahja ja kallis usko, vaikka se ei vielä olisi vahva usko. Pieni usko saa kulkea samaa kuninkaallista tietä ja kasvaa vahvaksi Herrassa.
Rukoilemme ### ja ### puolesta että Herra veisi teidät tähän henkilökohtaiseen uskoon ja avoimeen tunnustukseen. Rukoilemme että Jumalan sanat tulisivat teille suloisiksi maistaa. Se hunaja ei löydy merkeistä tai ihmisten puheista vaan Jumalan suun sanoista ja pyhän Raamatun todistuksista. Kun Sana otetaan vastaan ei vain sanoina vaan voimassa ja Pyhän Hengen osoituksessa, se tulee suloiseksi maulle ja karkoittaa katkeruudenkin. Se on puhdas ja pyhä ja tekee synnin vakavaksi ja armon suureksi.
Herra täydentää sen mikä teitä koskee. Se mikä yhdessä paikassa Raamattua on uskon asia, on toisessa paikassa tosiasia. Hän joka on alkanut teissä hyvän työn, on sen täydentävä. Siksi saatte luottaa että Hän ei hylkää teitä katumuksen päivänä eikä vahvimman uskon päivänä, vaan pitää teidät Kristuksessa.
Rukoilkaamme yhdessä että Herra tekisi teoissaan itsensä tunnetuksi teille, ettei mikään tarpeellinen jäisi salatuksi, vaan että Hänen armonsa ja totuutensa tulisivat näkyviin elämässänne. Että saisitte vaeltaa Hänessä, ette vain hetken seisoa Hänessä, vaan vaeltaa Hänessä päivä päivältä, tapa ja tottumus elämässänne, Kristus teissä kirkkauden toivo. Että uskonne lepäisi Kristuksen täytetyssä työssä, ei itsessänne, ja olisi Jumalan sanan mukainen, kiinnitetty Kristuksen persoonaan, tosi Jumalaan ja tosi ihmiseen, joka uhrattiin puolestamme.
Herra, katso ### ja ### puoleen. Anna heidän kohdata Sinun sanasi elävänä. Anna usko sydämeen ja tunnustus suuhun. Anna sanojen ja tekojen todistaa Sinusta tässä ajassa. Tee Sinä ihmeesi heidän elämässään niin että Sinun kirkkautesi nähdään, ja että he saavat nähdä Sinun kirkkautesi uskon kautta. Jeesuksen Kristuksen, ainoan Vapahtajan nimessä ja ansion tähden, joka on tie Jumalan tykö. Aamen.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

Beloved of All
Your prayer for ### and ### has been heard and we join you in bringing it before the Lord who gives life to all things and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate.
We pray that the Lord will make the significance of prayer clear in your lives, and that what He is doing will not remain hidden but will be seen openly in His time. God is not unrighteous to forget your love and the work you have shown toward His name, and He bears witness to His own work not only by words but by signs and power. We ask that He will grant you to encounter His Word with clean ears and a pure heart, putting away what clogs and defiles the hearing, so that you may receive it with faith.
We pray also that you may be kept to confess Christ truly, not only with words but with deeds, and to keep His commandment without spot until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. As we have been taught, the kingdom of God is not in talk but in power, and victory belongs to doers. May He strengthen you to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, to be faithful in what belongs to the Lord, and to confess Him in word and in deed and in the time He has given you.
We ask this trusting in salvation through Jesus Christ alone, who alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, to whom be honor and power forever. May He draw you both nearer to Himself, let His Word dwell richly in you, and let your lives bear witness to the truth you have heard. Amen.

Beloved of All
Your prayer has been heard and I thank you for sharing the desire of your heart so honestly. You are asking that what God is doing would be brought into the light and not hidden, that your words and actions in this time would be a true confession of Him, and that you would personally meet Him in His Word. That is a good and holy desire.
Faith is not a vague hope. It is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen. It is trusting that God is real and that His Word is true, even when we cannot yet see the outcome with our eyes. We see His presence and His love and His power at work, and that becomes evidence to our hearts that He is faithful.
Think of Noah. He was warned by God about things that had never been seen before. It had never rained on the earth, yet he believed what God said and acted on it. Think of Abraham. God promised that through his son Isaac a great nation would come, and then God asked him to offer Isaac. Abraham could have been confused, but he trusted that God would keep His promise even if it required a miracle, even raising Isaac from the dead, because God always keeps His Word.
That is the same faith we are called to. We do not stand righteous before God because of good works we have done. We stand righteous because of faith in Jesus Christ and in Him who raised Jesus from the dead. God accounts that faith to us as righteousness, apart from any works or religious ordinances. When we believe His promise of salvation through Jesus alone, He makes us new by His Spirit, not by our own will but by His will, born again through the Word of truth.
Yet the faith that saves is a living faith, not a dead faith. Even the evil spirits believe that God exists, but that belief does not save them. True faith shows itself. Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness, and he then showed that belief when he was willing to offer Isaac. His actions worked together with his faith and proved that his faith was real. In the same way, to be a doer of the Word is to let what we say we believe be translated into actions that honor God, to reach out to those in need and to keep ourselves unspotted from the world. If we only hear the Word and agree with it in our minds but do not live by it, we deceive ourselves.
You asked that nothing be hidden but that all be brought into the light, and that your words and deeds would confess Him. God judges without favoritism according to what is true, and He calls us to be holy as He is holy in all our manner of living. His Word cleanses us. Jesus said we are made clean through the Word He has spoken. That Word is not passing or temporary. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Word of the Lord endures forever. It is incorruptible seed that brings new and eternal life when it is planted in our hearts.
So I pray for you that God will answer this one prayer according to its great significance. May He reveal what needs to be revealed and bring what is hidden into His light for His glory. May He give you simple trust in what He has said, not looking at circumstances or difficulties, but resting on His promise that He will do what He has said. May your faith be a living faith, seen in words and deeds that agree with His Word. And may you grow as you desire the sincere milk of the Word, tasting that the Lord is gracious, feeding on it daily, being strengthened by it in trial and cleansed by it in your walk.
Father, I bring these hearts before You. You know their desire to not hide anything from You and to confess You truly. Let Your Word dwell richly in them. Give them faith to believe You simply because You have spoken, hope that rejoices in Your calling, and love that reflects Your own. Keep them by Your power through faith and make them holy in their daily lives for Your name's sake. In Jesus' name, amen.
