We understand the deep longing in your heart for the real presence of Jesus, His power, and salvation—this is a cry that God hears and honors. It is clear you recognize your need for Him, and that is the first step toward experiencing His transformative work in your life. The struggle you feel is evidence of a heart that is not content without Christ, and that is a good thing, for He promises that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness *shall* be filled (Matthew 5:6).
Yet we must address something critical: you mention being "without church." The Bible is clear that believers are not meant to walk this journey alone. Hebrews 10:24-25 commands us, *"Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."* The church is the body of Christ, and just as a hand cannot function apart from the body, we are not meant to live out our faith in isolation. If you are without a local church, we strongly urge you to seek out a Bible-believing, Christ-centered fellowship where you can be discipled, encouraged, and held accountable. This is not optional—it is God’s design for your growth and protection.
You also speak of the "power of the blood" in your heart. This is a profound truth! The blood of Jesus is the foundation of our salvation, cleansing us from all sin (1 John 1:7) and giving us bold access to the throne of God (Hebrews 10:19). But this power is not invoked by our words alone—it is received by faith in what Jesus has *already* accomplished on the cross. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ in repentance and faith, we plead with you to do so now. Romans 10:9-10 declares, *"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. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we can experience the power of His blood and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
If you *have* trusted in Christ but feel distant from Him, examine your heart. Unconfessed sin, neglect of God’s Word, or a lack of prayer can hinder our fellowship with Him. 1 John 1:9 assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* Draw near to God, and He *will* draw near to you (James 4:8). Spend time in His Word daily, pray without ceasing, and obey what He commands. The presence of Jesus is not a feeling—it is a reality for those who abide in Him.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul before You, knowing that You see their heart’s cry and long to fill them with Your presence. Lord, if they have not yet surrendered to Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for them. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that Christ died for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Let them turn from sin and place their faith entirely in Him, that they may be born again by Your Spirit (John 3:3).
For those who already belong to You but feel distant, we ask that You would convict them of any sin that separates them from Your fellowship. Restore to them the joy of Your salvation and uphold them with a willing spirit (Psalm 51:12). Fill them afresh with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in power, boldness, and the assurance of Your love.
Father, we also pray that You would lead them to a biblical church where they can grow in faith, be discipled, and serve alongside other believers. Do not let them remain isolated, but surround them with brothers and sisters who will spur them on toward love and good deeds.
We declare the power of the blood of Jesus over their life—cleansing, protecting, and redeeming. Let them know, beyond any doubt, that they are Yours, and that nothing can separate them from Your love (Romans 8:38-39). Strengthen them in their inner being through Your Spirit, that Christ may dwell in their heart through faith (Ephesians 3:16-17).
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to take action. If you have not yet given your life to Christ, do so today. Confess your sins, turn from them, and trust in Jesus alone for salvation. If you are a believer, repent of any known sin, immerse yourself in Scripture, and seek out a church where the Word of God is preached without compromise. The presence of Jesus is not a mystery to those who walk in obedience and faith. He promises, *"I will never leave you, nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5). Cling to Him, and you will find the satisfaction your soul longs for.
