with en family med The Lord

Anonymous

Beloved of All
Att ge plats åt ###, ### och ### – både inom familjen och i det offentliga – vid sidan av Herren Jesus, vår Fader i himlen och på jorden; vilken härlighet, vilken ära och vilken helig Ande! Guds absoluta väsen och förlåtelsen inom familjekretsen, bland våra fränder? Arons välsignelse – Herrens välsignelse och evigheten, det dolda och det uppenbarade – Jesus Kristus, Gud, den helige Ande och änglar som tjänar i vårt ställe; minns vi dem i vår släktkedja? Tillhör förlåtelsen Gud? Vilar de hos Gud?

To give space to ###, ### and ### – both within the family and in public – beside the Lord Jesus, our Father in heaven and on earth; what glory, what honor and what a Holy Spirit! God's absolute being and forgiveness within the family circle, among our relatives? Aaron's blessing – the Lord's blessing and eternity, the hidden and the revealed – Jesus Christ, God, the Holy Spirit and angels serving in our place; do we remember them in our family chain? Does forgiveness belong to God? Do they rest with God?
 
We hear your heart’s deep longing to honor the Lord within your family and before the world, and we join you in lifting this before God’s throne with reverence. What a beautiful vision, to walk in the fullness of His presence, His forgiveness, and His blessing among those He has placed in your life! The Aaronic blessing you referenced (Numbers 6:24-26) is indeed a powerful declaration of God’s favor and protection, and we pray it would rest upon your family continually:

"May Yahweh bless you and keep you.
May Yahweh make his face to shine on you,
and be gracious to you.
May Yahweh lift up his face toward you,
and give you peace."

Yet we must also examine the foundation of this blessing. Forgiveness, glory, and the Holy Spirit’s work are only possible because of the finished work of Jesus Christ. You mentioned the Lord Jesus, our Father, and the Holy Spirit, this is the biblical Trinity, and we affirm that salvation comes through faith in Christ alone. As Acts 4:12 declares, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." If there are any in your family who have not surrendered their lives to Jesus, we urge you to pray fervently for their salvation, for apart from Him, there is no true forgiveness or eternal rest.

We also sense a question in your words: Does forgiveness belong to God? Yes, absolutely. Only God can forgive sins (Mark 2:7), and He does so through the blood of Jesus (Ephesians 1:7). Yet He calls us to extend that same forgiveness to one another, as Christ taught in Matthew 6:14-15: "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Is there unforgiveness in your family circle? Bitterness or division that needs to be surrendered to the Lord? We pray for healing and restoration where brokenness exists.

You also ask if our loved ones rest with God. This is a profound question, especially regarding those who have passed. Scripture assures us that those who die in Christ are at peace with the Lord (Revelation 14:13), but for those who rejected Him, the outcome is eternal separation (Matthew 25:46). This is why we must share the gospel urgently with our families, so that all may know the hope of resurrection in Christ.

As for the angels serving in our place, Hebrews 1:14 reminds us they are "ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation." They are indeed active in God’s kingdom, but we must be careful not to elevate them above their biblical role. Our focus must remain on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your presence in our families. Lord, we ask that Your Holy Spirit would move powerfully among us, breaking chains of unforgiveness, pride, and sin. Where there is division, bring unity. Where there is pain, bring healing. Where there is doubt, bring faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ. We declare Your blessing over every member of this family, may they know You, love You, and walk in Your ways. For those who do not yet know You, Lord, draw them by Your Spirit. Let Your angels minister to them, and let Your Word take root in their hearts. We surrender our family to You, trusting that You are working all things for Your glory. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to gather your family in prayer, reading Scripture together, and sharing testimonies of God’s faithfulness. The enemy seeks to destroy families, but Christ has already overcome (John 16:33). Stand firm in faith, and watch how God moves!
 
We can hear the deep longing behind your words, this desire for your family to live in the fullness of God’s presence, to make room for Him not as an afterthought but as the true center. That you're asking whether forgiveness belongs to God and whether your family rests with Him shows a heart already turned in the right direction. These are not frantic questions; they are the kind a shepherd asks while surveying the flock, wanting everyone to be safe and well.

Sometimes the most genuine way to give the Lord space in our homes is surprisingly concrete. It might mean gathering before a meal and pausing long enough to truly release the burdens you each walked in carrying, rather than rushing through a quick word of thanks. It could look like a quiet moment with your spouse or children where you simply acknowledge together, We are living before You tonight, Lord, what glory, what honor, and what a Holy Spirit You’ve placed among us. These small acts of remembering keep your family anchored in the unseen reality of His nearness and the angels who minister on your behalf.

Forgiveness rests securely with God in its fullness, yes, and He has given you the gift of releasing others into His hands without carrying the weight of a debt yourself. Within your family circle, practicing that release freely and often can unburden the very relationships you’re longing to see flourish. You can rest with Him by showing each other the same mercy you’re grateful to have received.

Lord Jesus, You hold the hidden and the revealed in Your hands. Thank You that when we gather as a family, in the ordinary moments and the sacred ones, You are already there. Let this household live consciously in Your blessing, quick to forgive, unhurried in spirit, and wide open to Your presence. May they know, deep in their bones, that they rest with You and that Your peace guards the doorposts of their home. Amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.


🙏Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for loving me, Jesus. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, wisdom, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You. God, bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to know You, so that I can trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding. Bless me with knowledge, wisdom, and understanding in all You have called me to do.

God heal me in every area of my life. Deliver and cleanse me of everything in my life that doesn't honor You. Transform and renew my mind. Bless me with love, power, and a sound mind. Let the mind that is in Christ Jesus be in me. Bless me to have and operate with a God-conscious-solution-focused-heart-mind-spirit-and-attitude. Bless me to have a God Kingdom Culture Mentality. God be with me as a mighty warrior. Let no weapon formed against me prosper. Protect me from all the plans of my enemies and the plans of the enemy of my soul. God, all that I have asked of You, in this prayer, please do the same for the writer of the prayer, all those who love and care about me, and all those I love and care about. God, please forever honor this prayer over each of our lives. God Thank You. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

 
There is forgiveness with God, yes, and let your tongue never grow weary of confessing it! You ask, “Tillhör förlåtelsen Gud?”, does forgiveness belong to God? It is His property alone, a divine prerogative never delegated to any mortal man. He declares, “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions.” And from the throne of His eternal purpose He has sent this message to every contrite heart: “There is forgiveness.” However dark the stain upon your family line, whatever shadows gather round those three whom you would have make room for the Father, Son, and Spirit, know this, that the chief of sinners may have the chief of sinners’ forgiveness, and God can bestow it now. It is not a prize to be run for in the dim future, but a blessing given the very moment the soul rests upon Christ; and it breathes a continuous, eternal air, for He not only forgave us at the first, but His act of forgiveness rolls on in an unbroken stream.

You ask if they rest in God, your dear ones, your kindred according to the flesh. Look once again to the promise! The Lord has said, “This is My rest forever,” and that word is the guarantee that every soul in the true Church of Christ is eternally secure. It is a present rest, my hearer, not a rest reserved only for the world to come. When we come to Jesus just as we are, He gives us rest, perfect, immediate, and divine. And then, as we go on learning of Him, we find a second rest, a rest after rest, the repose of a man who is already at peace and now discovers more and more the unsearchable riches of that sweet fellowship. “Let me be with You, where You are, my Savior, my eternal rest!” This is the true lineage: not the blessing of having been Mary or Joseph in the flesh, but the blessing of hearing the Word of God and keeping it. In that spiritual family circle, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit do indeed abide, and the angels serve them who are heirs of salvation.

You speak of Aaron’s blessing and the hidden glory. The Spirit helps our infirmities and writes intercession upon our hearts, even for those we love. He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. So pursue your kindred, even into the unseen world, with prayer that rests only upon the finished work of Christ. And let no doubt darken your mind about the rest of the faithful departed. They do rest in God, not in a barren stillness but in the rest of a garden that bears fruit unto eternal life. The Lord says, “I will command My blessing upon you,” and the fruit springs up for the years ahead. So bless God from the first whisper of your soul to the last breath of your life; bless Him who blessed you with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ, where grace and peace flow from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus. There is forgiveness! There is rest! And both belong to God, alone. Go in that assurance, for Christ’s sake.
 
You yearn to place your family before the Lord, seeking blessing and forgiveness, and you ponder whether those who have gone before rest in God. This is a holy desire, but let us examine what blessing truly is. The blessing of Aaron was a shadow; it spoke of fruitfulness of body, of going out and coming in. Those were carnal things, given for a time, but they could not cleanse the soul or grant eternal life. Now, in Christ, we have every spiritual blessing. You are made immortal, a son, a fellow-heir with Christ, glorified with Him. The First-fruits of our nature is adored by angels. What more can you lack? If God did not spare His own Son, will He not freely give you all things? Therefore, do not cling to earthly signs of blessing, but seek the spiritual. The time is short, now is the day of salvation; strive for the mastery while grace is offered.

You ask if forgiveness belongs to God. Indeed, it is His alone, and He has granted it through the Mediator, Christ Jesus, not by the hand of Moses. The covenant with Abraham promised that in his seed the nations would be blessed, and that seed is Christ. The Law came later, but it could not annul the promise of life and righteousness. So, for your family, both those with you and those who have fallen asleep, there is forgiveness in Christ for all who have the root of blessing settled in them, their principle of choice, their faith. Do not envy those who seem to enjoy worldly ease while you toil; remember Jacob, who served and suffered, yet the blessing rested on his posterity and on him in the world to come. God exalts the one who endures injury, and the more you are tried, the greater the eternal weight of glory, if you hold fast.

As for your ancestors, if they died in the Lord, they rest in Him, for the promise is not for this life only but for the things to come. Abraham and Jacob did not fully receive the earthly blessing, but they obtained the heavenly. Therefore, honor your lineage by walking in faith, bringing forth good deeds as herbs meet for the Master’s dressing. Alms and every fruit of the Spirit are called a blessing. Prepare your household thus, and when the Lord comes, He will find you rich in the freshness of all good works. Let your care be twofold: for the body's needs, certainly, but far more for the soul's wealth. In famine or plenty, in joy or sorrow, the blessing of God remains unshaken, for it is not from earth but from above, given by Christ, with whom you reign if you suffer with Him.
