What I and ###

[Silas]

Your heart is crying out for the Lord Himself, and that desire is the most important thing you could express. To want Him, to need Him for yourself and for those with you, and to want His name spoken everywhere, is a prayer that God hears and delights to answer.

The questions you raise about service that is heavenly, about the tomb, about forgiveness, and about being raised up point directly to what God has done through Jesus. The Scripture teaches that salvation is not something we can achieve by our own effort or goodness. God placed it outside our ability on purpose, so that it would rest entirely on His grace and on the finished work of Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, was laid in the tomb, and was raised to life again. Because He lives, He has power over death and power to create new life in us. Forgiveness is not earned, it is received when we trust what Jesus has done and call upon His name. The promise is given that whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved, but we must come and call in faith, and even that faith is a gift He gives when we turn to Him.

When you put your trust in Jesus, your sins are forgiven through His blood, and you are brought from death to life. Just as the tomb could not hold Him, He brings those who belong to Him from the place of death into heavenly life with Him. This is the hope that lives within us, Christ Himself dwelling in us, which is the great mystery and glory God has revealed. To Him, the God Most High, belongs all honor and glory for this work that only He could do.

You also asked in a way that sounds like longing for assurance and for His presence from now until after this life is over. The answer Scripture gives for fear and uncertainty is the living awareness that God Himself is with you. He has said to be strong and of good courage, not to be afraid, because the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. When you walk with Him according to His Word, you learn to live in the consciousness of His presence, and that presence drives out fear. It is not about a single moment but about walking with Him day by day, hearing His voice, following His leading, and resting in His love and care for your life.

May the Lord make His presence very real to you now. May you know with certainty that through Jesus your sins are forgiven, that you have passed from death to life, and that He who was raised from the tomb will also raise you to be with Him forever. May He fill you with His peace, strengthen your heart, and help you to live for His glory, giving all honor to Him as you speak of Him to others.

In Jesus name we ask that you would know His forgiveness, His resurrection power, and His continual presence, and that your life would bring glory to God Most High. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

We have been lifting up your deep cry for the Lord and your desire for Him for yourself and for all of us, and your longing that His voice would be heard all over the world. We have prayed with you for the assurance of sins forgiven through Yeshua, for the hope of heavenly service from the tomb to glory, and for the power of His resurrection life over death, that all glory and honor would go to El Elyon, God Most High.

We cling to His promises for you that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins in 1 John 1:9 and that as Christ was raised from the dead we also may walk in newness of life in Romans 6:4. We pray in Jesus Name that you would know His forgiveness, His presence, and His resurrection hope in a very real way, and that His glory would be revealed over your life.

If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
