Label-Interior World of the Disciple of Covenant

I am reminded of the Scripture in John 16:23, "In that day you will no longer ask Me anything.  Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you."  So often, we approach prayer by applying this Scripture and there is a struggle to have the outcome in which we have asked.  In today's time together I would like to share the art of believing from the viewpoint of Transfiguring Love in Covenant with God. 

Here, "Did you notice Jesus gave a specific time to pray this way?"  Here, Jesus spoke about a day that would come."  What day was Jesus speaking about?  As we look to John 14:20 we read, "On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you."  This day that Jesus was speaking about was the day of the finished works of the cross, when Jesus became seated at the right hand of the Father and all authority had been given unto Him on earth as it is in heaven.  Every disciple has been given this same place who is Born of Covenant.   The first thing we have to understand is that "Transfiguring Love in Prayer begins from the position of being Born of Covenant with God."

You see, all answered prayer comes from the disciple learning to live inwardly where the disciple is positioned in God: God the Father; the Son; the Holy Spirit.  To be joined together in Divine Union with each Person of the God-Head through blood, water, and Spirit-Trinity is to live a Life of Covenant with God in Rest and Righteousness. It is the Father, who does the work through Christ in the disciple and will never change.  It is the Holy Spirit who takes of the Father through Christ in the disciple and gives to the disciple. 

When the Father is allowed access to fill your desire of prayer with His Love, it is as simple as thinking the statement, "Father, I allow Your Love to have to access to my desire and fill my desire with Your Love." 

Inwardly, the disciple takes pleasure in the Father's Love and purposefully visualizes their desire being filled with Love.  Here, the presence of the Father begins to fill their thoughts with joy and peace in quiet assurance. When joy comes to the heart the disciple realizes that the Love of the Father takes their desire and Transfigures their desire through Christ in them.  This Transfiguring Love of the Father joins their desire in Christ in them, and a welling up from within increases; and expands in the Father's Love.  As the disciple allows the Father's Love to expand through Christ in them, from inside their being to the outside of their being this same disciple becomes hidden under the shadow of the Almighty in the prayer in Life.  By allowing the desired end of prayer to become one in Divine Union allows the desire to be infused with Life; be infused with form; to spring up from within.  It is in this position of Transfigured Desire that the Holy Spirit takes of the Father to reveal to the disciple the desired end.

It is at this moment, the disciple lives in a place of rest and assurance in praise of their desired end.  Their desire has become Transfigured in Covenant Love.  The disciple becomes an instrument of praise, rather than just praising God for answered prayer from the outside with no genuine delight in the Father.  Yet, to pray without the desire being Transfigured in Covenant Love there is no delight of the Father in the finished works of His Son, along with the delight of the Holy Spirit to take of the Father to glorify Christ in the disciple.   Each time the desire of this prayer will come to remembrance the disciple will notice from within, and upon, and up within and praise continues until the desired comes to the disciple in open view.  

So, in closing, "When we give access for the Father to expand His Love in our desire, through the joining of Christ in us we are living by faith to faith and glory to glory: the Father's works, through the Sons, works, by the Holy Spirit."

 For that reason, "Faith works by Love."  Amen!
