Leviticus 25:42 For they are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves.
Galatians 4:7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir [a]of God through Christ.
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”
What if God’s biggest challenge with your prayer isn’t your problems but your perspective?
We may approach God with fears that we have (for the variety of fears we encounter in life).
Fear can surround us but once you know your position with God, there’s nothing that you cannot pray through. You have more access that you recognize and more authority that you utilize.
Our access and authority is limited to our perspective of what God can do through us.
In the Old Testament, God saw us as servants. The biggest benefit of knowing this is knowing that God is always there for us. The limitation with a servant perspective is often they do not believe they have such access and authority. Most only request to the degree they have access.
In the New Testament, the second posture or perspective is how we are viewed. No longer are you servants but God sees you as Sons. If the Father possesses it, we can access it.
Though the pandemic may worry me, I have access to his peace. I have access to his power. To His power. To His joy. You are a child of God and He has given us access to the Kingdom.
But another perspective is that during the end times God sees us as a spouse (the church, the Bride of Christ). A spouse has full access to all of the benefits that He has for us. Husbands say to wives, what’s mine is yours. One flesh. A shared account. Full access. God has given us complete access and full authority, therefore pray like you have a groom that has given you full access. His peace, power, victory, healing, is yours.
So today let us pray “spouse perspective prayers” knowing we have full access and complete authority.
