CORINTHIANS 3:17-18
Sanctified
people experience the joy of answered prayers. When the One who answers prayers
is your close friend, you can be assured that all your requests will be granted
before you even ask.
“You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you” (John 15:16).
Nothing can block the prayers of the sanctified. Psalm 34:17 assures us that God will move in to deliver his favourites when he hears their cries. Many prayers are not answered because sin blocks their way. Sanctified people live in such close fellowship with the King of kings that his goals and desires have become their goals and desires. The same things that make Jesus happy, make them happy; the same things that make Jesus sad, make them sad.
Jesus wants his Father to be glorified in everything. The sanctified believer’s biggest desire is to see Jesus glorified. So before they open their months to ask, their request are not only granted in heaven, but the results are released. To what extent have you become one with the Lord? Are his desires your desires? Is your greatest desire to glorify his Name in every facet of your life?
The sanctified also enjoys the privilege of communion; being in his presence. Feeling of refreshment, reassurance, empowerment, security and never-ending security overpower us when we are in his presence. Peter, James and John once had the opportunity to see Jesus in all his glory, and they were totally overcome. They did not want to leave his presence. According to 2 Corinthians 3:18, the more we stay in his presence the more like him we will become until he changes us from glory to glory. Do you spend time in his presence or do you always rush out?
