Jesus, Command Us to Come to You!

The Prayer of Faith That Releases the Harpazo

“And Peter answered Him and said, ‘Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.’ So He said, ‘Come.’ And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.” - Matthew 14:28-29

“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.” - John 6:44

“Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” - John 1:51

The Most Powerful Prayer You Can Pray

There is one prayer that releases everything.

One prayer that transforms everything.

One prayer that aligns you with God’s sovereign will, His predetermined plan, His eternal purpose.

One prayer that positions you for the Harpazo.

It is the prayer Peter prayed before he walked on water:

“Lord, if it is You, COMMAND me to come to You.”

Not “help me come to You.”

Not “give me the ability to come to You.”

Not “show me how to come to You.”

COMMAND me.

This is the prayer of complete surrender to divine authority. This is the prayer that says:

- I cannot come unless You command it
- I will not presume on my own initiative
- I need Your authoritative word
- Your command carries Your enabling power
- When You command, You empower

This is the prayer we must pray—individually and corporately—in this hour.

“Lord Jesus, COMMAND us to come to You.”

Why We Must Ask for the Command

John 6:44: “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

John 6:65: “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”

The theological reality:

We cannot come to Jesus on our own:

- Not by human will
- Not by human effort
- Not by human decision
- Not by human wisdom
- Not by human strength

We can only come when:

- The Father draws us
- The Father grants it
- Jesus commands it
- The Holy Spirit empowers it

This is sovereign grace in action.

Ephesians 1:4-5: “Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.”

Before the foundation of the world:

- We were chosen
- We were predestined
- We were elected
- We were adopted

Not because of anything we would do.

Not because of any foreseen faith or works.

According to the GOOD PLEASURE of His will.

This is why we ask for the command—because we recognize that everything comes from Him, through Him, and to Him.

-----

The Command That Releases Everything

When Jesus said “Come” to Peter, that one word released:

1. FAITH

Not Peter’s faith. Jesus’ faith imparted to Peter.

Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

Faith IN the Son of God = Our faith in Him

Faith OF the Son of God = His faith working through us (Greek can be translated either way)

Peter walked on water by the faith OF Jesus—Jesus’ own faith imparted to him by the command.

2. POWER

2 Peter 1:3: “His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.”

His divine power—not ours.

The command “Come” carried the power to accomplish the impossible.

3. TRANSFORMATION

Peter stepped out as a fisherman and walked as a miracle-worker.

He left the natural realm and entered the supernatural.

Mortal became like immortal—temporarily foreshadowing the permanent transformation at the Harpazo.

4. UNION WITH CHRIST

Peter walked to Jesus—not away, not around, but TO Him.

The command drew Peter into intimate proximity with Christ on the chaos.

This is the goal—being WITH Jesus forever (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

5. GLORY TO THE FATHER

When Peter walked on water, who got the glory?

When Peter was rescued from sinking, who got the glory?

When the storm ceased, who did the disciples worship?

Jesus—which glorifies the Father.

John 17:1: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You.”

Every command of Jesus ultimately glorifies the Father.

-----

The Full Measure: Not FROM, but OF

You wrote something profound that needs to be highlighted:

“Command us to receive Your FULL MEASURE of Grace and Truth. Not FROM Your Grace and Truth, but Your full measure.”

This is the difference between:

Receiving FROM His grace (partial, limited, like drawing from a well)

Receiving His FULL MEASURE (complete, unlimited, like becoming the well)

John 1:16: “And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.”

“Of His fullness” = Out of His completeness

“Grace for grace” = Grace upon grace, wave after wave, full measure after full measure

John 3:34: “For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.”

WITHOUT MEASURE.

Not a little. Not some. Not partial.

FULLNESS. COMPLETENESS. ALL.

This is what we’re asking for:

Lord, command us to receive:

- Not a portion of Your grace—Your FULL measure

- Not some of Your truth—Your FULL measure

- Not part of Your Spirit—WITHOUT MEASURE

- Not fragments of Your life—FULLNESS

- Not pieces of Your power—ALL POWER (Matthew 28:18)

- Not degrees of Your image—COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION into Your likeness

2 Corinthians 3:18: “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

From glory TO glory.

Not stuck at one level. Progressive transformation into HIS IMAGE.

And at the Harpazo—instant, complete, permanent transformation.

-----

The Mind of Christ: Renewed, Not Repaired

Romans 12:2: “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Not “improve your mind.”

Not “fix your mind.”

RENEW—make completely new.

1 Corinthians 2:16: “For ‘who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.”

Present tense: WE HAVE the mind of Christ.

Not “we’re trying to get it.”

Not “we hope to have it someday.”

WE HAVE IT—by His grace, through His command, by His sovereign gift.

Philippians 2:5: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.”

What is the mind of Christ?

Philippians 2:6-8: “Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.”

The mind of Christ is:

- Not grasping at position or power
- Emptying self completely
- Taking the form of a servant
- Humbling self utterly
- Obedient unto death

And then:

Philippians 2:9-11: “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

After death—EXALTATION.

After humbling—GLORIFICATION.

After obedience—VINDICATION.

This is the pattern we follow:

- Die to self NOW
- Be exalted THEN (at the Harpazo)
- Glorified forever
- All to the glory of God the Father

We are asking Jesus to command us to have HIS mind—which means:

- Die to our own thinking
- Receive His thoughts
- Know only His voice
- Understand only His plan
- Follow only His will
- Fulfill only His purpose

-----

The Sovereign Will: Predestined, Chosen, Elected

Let’s boldly declare what Scripture declares:

Ephesians 1:3-6: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.”

Break this down:

“Blessed us with EVERY spiritual blessing” = ALL, not some

“In the heavenly places in Christ” = Already ours, already secured

“Chose us in Him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD” = Before creation, before time, eternally chosen

“That we should be holy and without blame” = The purpose of our choosing

“Predestined us to adoption as sons” = Predetermined, planned, purposed

“According to the good pleasure of His will” = Because He WANTED to, it pleased Him

“To the praise of the glory of His grace” = All for His glory

Romans 8:29-30: “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”

The golden chain of salvation:

Foreknew = Known by God from eternity

Predestined = Predetermined to be conformed to Christ’s image

Called = Summoned by divine command

Justified = Declared righteous by grace through faith

Glorified = Past tense! Already accomplished in God’s eternal perspective

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14: “But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

“God from the beginning CHOSE you” = Election before time

“For salvation” = Not maybe saved, not possibly saved—FOR salvation

“For the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ” = We will obtain His glory

This is why we pray:

“Lord, command us to KNOW we are Your predestined, chosen, elected children.”

Not hoping we might be.

Not wondering if we are.

KNOWING we are—by Your sovereign choice, Your eternal election, Your predetermined plan.

-----

To Know ONLY His Voice

John 10:3-5, 27: “To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers… My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

The sheep:

- HEAR His voice (not deaf to it)
- KNOW His voice (recognize it distinctly)
- FOLLOW Him (obey what they hear)
- Will NOT follow a stranger (discern false voices)

How do we know ONLY His voice?

By commanding us to:

- Shut out every other voice (world, flesh, devil)
- Saturate in His Word (the written voice)
- Be filled with His Spirit (the inner voice)
- Test everything against Scripture (1 John 4:1)
- Reject mixture of any kind

The voices that compete with His:

The World’s Voice:

- “Trust in political solutions”
- “Seek financial security”
- “Build your own kingdom”
- “Make a name for yourself”
- “You are your own god”

The Flesh’s Voice (SELF):

- “Preserve your comfort”
- “Protect your reputation”
- “Promote your agenda”
- “Govern your own life”
- “You know better than God”

The Devil’s Voice:

- “Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3:1)
- “You will not surely die” (Genesis 3:4)
- “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5)
- “God is holding out on you”
- “You can’t trust Him”

All of these must be SILENCED so we hear ONLY HIS VOICE.

Isaiah 30:21: “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.”

One voice. One way. His alone.

-----

To Be Made Holy, To Be Made Righteous

Not to BECOME holy—to BE MADE holy.

Not to ACHIEVE righteousness—to BE MADE righteous.

This is positional and practical:

POSITIONAL (Already Accomplished):

Hebrews 10:10, 14: “By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all… For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.”

“We HAVE BEEN sanctified” = Past tense, completed

“He HAS PERFECTED forever” = Already perfected in God’s sight

1 Corinthians 1:30: “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”

Christ BECAME our righteousness. We don’t work for it—we receive it.

2 Corinthians 5:21: “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

We ARE the righteousness of God in Christ. Not becoming—ARE.

PRACTICAL (Being Worked Out):

Philippians 2:12-13: “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”

“Work OUT” (not work FOR—already have it)

“God works IN you” (His work, not ours)

“Both to will and to do” (He gives desire AND ability)

“For His good pleasure” (because it pleases Him)

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24: “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”

“God Himself sanctify you” = His work

“Completely” = Fully, wholly, entirely

“HE who calls you is faithful, who also WILL DO IT” = He completes what He starts

We are commanding Jesus to:

- Make us holy (set apart for His use)
- Make us righteous (right standing with God)
- Complete the transformation He began
- Finish the work He started
- All by His power, for His glory

-----

To Be Filled with His Joy and His Peace

Not worldly happiness—HIS JOY.

Not absence of trouble—HIS PEACE.

John 15:11: “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.”

“MY joy” = Jesus’ own joy

“Remain in you” = Abiding, dwelling, staying

“Your joy may be FULL” = Complete, overflowing

John 16:22: “Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.”

“No one will take from you” = Permanent, unshakeable

John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

“MY peace” = Jesus’ own peace

“Not as the world gives” = Not dependent on circumstances

Philippians 4:7: “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

“Surpasses all understanding” = Beyond comprehension

“Will guard” = Protects, keeps, maintains

This joy and peace:

- Don’t depend on circumstances
- Don’t fluctuate with situations
- Don’t fade with trials
- Come from HIS PRESENCE

Romans 14:17: “For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

The Kingdom is marked by:

Righteousness (right standing)
Peace (His peace)
Joy (His joy)
All IN the Holy Spirit (He is the source)

-----

To Lay Down Our Lives and Pick Up His Life

John 12:24-25: “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.”

The grain must DIE to produce fruit.

We must DIE to SELF to receive HIS LIFE.

Luke 9:23-24: “Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.’”

Daily death:

- Deny self (say no to SELF’s demands)
- Take up cross (embrace death to self)
- Follow Him (go where He leads)

The paradox:

- Lose life = Save it
- Save life = Lose it

Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

“I have been crucified” = Past tense, already dead

“No longer I who live” = SELF is dead

“But Christ lives in me” = HIS LIFE replaces my life

This is the exchange:

We lay down:

- Our plans → Receive His plans
- Our will → Receive His will
- Our strength → Receive His strength
- Our wisdom → Receive His wisdom
- Our righteousness → Receive His righteousness
- Our life → Receive His life

Colossians 3:3-4: “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”

“You died” = Already happened

“Your life is hidden with Christ in God” = Secure, protected, in Him

“When Christ who is OUR LIFE appears” = He IS our life

“You will appear with Him in glory” = We will be glorified at the Harpazo

-----

To Be Filled with the Holy Spirit

Not just saved BY the Spirit—FILLED WITH the Spirit.

Ephesians 5:18: “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.”

“Be filled” = Present passive imperative

Present = Continuous action (keep being filled)

Passive = Done to you, not by you

Imperative = Command, not suggestion

Literally: “Keep being filled by the Spirit”

Acts 1:8: “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

“You shall receive POWER” = Dunamis—explosive, miraculous power

“When the Holy Spirit has come upon you” = Upon, not just in

Acts 2:17-18: “And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.”

“I will POUR OUT” = Not drip, not sprinkle—POUR OUT

“On ALL flesh” = Universal availability

“In the last days” = NOW—we are in them

John 7:37-39: “On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”

“Rivers of living water” = Overflowing, abundant

“Out of his heart will FLOW” = Not contained, but flowing outward

This is what we’re asking:

Command us to be:

- Baptized into Jesus’ death and resurrection (Romans 6:3-4)

- Filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18)

- Empowered for supernatural living (Acts 1:8)

- Taught all things by the Spirit (John 14:26)

- Given all things the Father has given the Son (John 16:15)

John 16:13-15: “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.”

The Holy Spirit:

- Guides into ALL truth (not partial)

- Reveals things to come (prophetic)

- Glorifies Jesus (all points to Him)

- Takes what is Jesus’ and gives it to us (ALL THINGS)

- ALL that the Father has → given to the Son → given to us by the Spirit

This is fullness. This is abundance. This is “exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.”

-----

To Be Empowered to Fulfill Every Purpose

Ephesians 2:10: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

“His workmanship” = Poiema—masterpiece, work of art

“Created in Christ Jesus FOR good works” = Purpose predetermined

“Which God prepared BEFOREHAND” = Planned before we were born

“That we SHOULD walk in them” = Destiny, calling, purpose

We were created with PURPOSE:

- Not randomly
- Not accidentally
- Not without meaning

God designed you specifically to accomplish specific things for His glory.

Philippians 2:13: “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”

God works IN you:

- To will = Gives you the desire
- To do = Gives you the ability
- For His good pleasure = Because it pleases Him

We cannot fulfill our purpose by human effort:

- Not by trying harder
- Not by self-improvement
- Not by human wisdom or strength

We fulfill it by:

- His empowerment
- His grace working through us
- His power operating in us
- Being filled with His Spirit
- Walking in what He prepared beforehand

This is why we pray: “Command us to be empowered by grace to fulfill EVERYTHING You created us to fulfill—all for Your glory.”

-----

To Be Glorified in the Harpazo

This is the culmination. This is the goal. This is the promise.

Romans 8:30: “Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”

Past tense: “GLORIFIED.”

In God’s eternal perspective, it’s already done.

Romans 8:18: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”

“Glory which SHALL BE REVEALED IN US” = Coming manifestation

1 Corinthians 15:51-54: “Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory.’”

The transformation:

- Instant (“twinkling of an eye”)
- Complete (corruptible → incorruptible)
- Permanent (mortal → immortal)
- Glorious (death swallowed up)

Philippians 3:20-21: “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.”

“Will transform our lowly body” = These weak, dying bodies

“Conformed to His glorious body” = Like His resurrection body

“According to the working by which He is able to subdue ALL THINGS” = By His almighty power

Colossians 3:4: “When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”

“Appear WITH HIM” = Together, united

“IN GLORY” = Glorified, radiant, transformed

This is what we’re asking:

“Command us to be glorified in the Harpazo, to come up to You, and to be with You forever.”

-----

The Prayer: Putting It All Together

Now let’s pray this as one unified prayer of faith:

Lord Jesus Christ,

Master, Savior, and King of all creation,

We come before You not in our own righteousness, but in Yours alone. Not by our own authority, but by Your sovereign grace.

We ask what Peter asked:

“Lord, if it is You, COMMAND us to come to You.”

Command us, Lord. Speak the authoritative word that releases everything we need.

COMMAND US TO COME TO WHERE YOU ARE:

Father, draw us. Jesus, call us. Holy Spirit, empower us.

We cannot come unless You command it. We will not presume. We ask for Your divine authorization.

Fulfill Your faithful Word that says, “No one can come to Me unless the Father draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

We are asking—command us to come.

BRING GLORY TO GOD OUR FATHER:

Let everything we are, everything we do, everything we receive be for Your glory alone.

Not for our fame, our success, our recognition—but for the praise of the glory of Your grace.

Fulfill Your will. Accomplish Your good pleasure. Be glorified in us, through us, and ultimately when we are transformed at the Harpazo.

As Jesus prayed: “Father, glorify Your name.” Let this be our cry.

FILL US WITH YOUR FAITH:

Not our faith in You—but Your faith working through us.

The faith that walked on water. The faith that raised the dead. The faith that overcame the world.

Galatians 2:20 faith—“The life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith OF the Son of God.”

Command us to operate in Your faith, not ours. Your faith never fails. Your faith overcomes all.

TRANSFORM US INTO YOUR IMAGE:

2 Corinthians 3:18—“We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

Transform us completely—spirit, soul, and body.

Not conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of our minds.

From glory to glory to glory—until the final glory at the Harpazo.

GIVE US THE MIND OF CHRIST:

Renew our minds. Replace our thoughts with Yours.

Let this mind be in us which was also in Christ Jesus—humble, obedient, servant-hearted, submitted to the Father’s will unto death.

1 Corinthians 2:16—“We have the mind of Christ.” Make this our living reality.

GIVE US YOUR FULL MEASURE OF GRACE AND TRUTH:

Not from Your grace—Your full measure.

Not a portion—ALL of it.

John 1:16—“Of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.”

Command us to receive wave after wave, measure after measure, fullness after fullness.

John 3:34—“God does not give the Spirit by measure.” Give us the Spirit WITHOUT MEASURE.

COMMAND US TO WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH:

John 4:23-24—“The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Make us true worshipers—in Spirit (empowered by the Holy Spirit) and in Truth (according to Your Word).

Not mixture. Not compromise. Pure worship.

FILL US WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT:

Baptize us into Your death and resurrection.

Acts 1:8—“You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.”

Ephesians 5:18—“Be filled with the Spirit.”

Fill us to overflowing. Pour out Your Spirit without measure.

TEACH US ALL THINGS:

John 14:26—“The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”

We need the Spirit to teach us. Human wisdom fails. Only the Spirit reveals truth.

REVEAL ALL THINGS:

John 16:13—“When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.”

Guide us into ALL truth—not partial, not selective, but ALL.

Show us what’s coming. Reveal Your plans. Unveil the mysteries sealed until the end.

GIVE US ALL THINGS THE FATHER HAS GIVEN YOU:

John 16:14-15—“He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.”

ALL THINGS the Father has → given to You → given to us by the Spirit.

This is the inheritance. This is the blessing. Command us to receive it.

COMMAND US TO KNOW WE ARE YOUR PREDESTINED, CHOSEN, ELECTED CHILDREN:

Ephesians 1:4-5—“He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.”

We are not hoping to be chosen. We ARE chosen.

Not wondering if we’re elect. We ARE elect.

Not trying to become Your children. We ARE Your children by predestination, by Your sovereign choice, by Your good pleasure.

Romans 8:29-30—“Whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son… whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”

Command us to KNOW this truth—deeply, unshakably, permanently.

BY YOUR SOVEREIGN MAJESTY AND AUTHORITY, COMMAND US TO KNOW ONLY YOUR VOICE:

John 10:27—“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

Silence every other voice. Shut out the world, the flesh, the devil.

We will not listen to strangers. We will not follow false shepherds.

Command us to hear ONLY You, know ONLY You, follow ONLY You.

COMMAND US TO KNOW ONLY YOUR PLAN, YOUR WILL, YOUR PURPOSE:

Romans 12:2—“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

We don’t want our plans. We want Yours.

We don’t want our will. We want Yours.

We don’t want our purpose. We want Yours.

Matthew 6:10—“Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

EMPOWER US BY GRACE TO FULFILL EVERYTHING YOU CREATED US TO FULFILL:

Ephesians 2:10—“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

You created us with specific purpose. You prepared works for us before we were born.

Philippians 2:13—“It is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”

Work IN us. Give us the desire. Give us the ability. Accomplish Your pleasure through us.

All for Your glory. Not for our recognition. Not for our success. For YOUR GLORY.

COMMAND US TO BE MADE HOLY:

1 Thessalonians 5:23—“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Make us holy—spirit, soul, and body.

Completely. Entirely. Fully.

Set us apart for Your use alone.

COMMAND US TO BE MADE RIGHTEOUS:

2 Corinthians 5:21—“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

We ARE the righteousness of God in Christ—by position.

Now make it our practice. Work out what You’ve worked in.

Perfect us until we stand blameless at Your coming.

FILL US WITH YOUR JOY:

John 15:11—“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.”

Not happiness dependent on circumstances. YOUR JOY that remains regardless.

John 16:22—“Your joy no one will take from you.”

Give us unshakeable, permanent, overflowing joy.

FILL US WITH YOUR PEACE:

John 14:27—“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.”

Philippians 4:7—“The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Give us Your peace that makes no sense to the world.

Peace in the storm. Peace in the chaos. Peace when everything screams otherwise.

COMMAND US TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES:

Luke 9:23—“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”

We die to SELF—all forms, all expressions, all manifestations.

Self-ambition → Dead

Self-confidence → Dead

Self-promotion → Dead

Self-governance → Dead

Self-preservation → Dead

Self-sufficiency → Dead

COMMAND US TO PICK UP YOUR FULL LIFE AND FULL POWER:

Galatians 2:20—“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.”

Colossians 3:3-4—“For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”

Give us Your life—abundant, eternal, supernatural.

Give us Your power—resurrection power, miracle-working power, overcoming power.

TO GLORIFY OUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN:

Everything—EVERYTHING—for His glory.

John 17:4—Jesus said, “I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.”

Let this be our testimony. Let this be our life. Let this be our purpose.

When we are caught up, when we are transformed, when we stand before You—let it all bring glory to the Father.

COMMAND US TO BE GLORIFIED IN THE HARPAZO:

Romans 8:30—“Whom He justified, these He also glorified.”

Already accomplished in Your eternal perspective. Now manifest it in time.

1 Corinthians 15:51-54—“We shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.”

Transform us instantly. Change us completely. Glorify us permanently.

Philippians 3:21—“Who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body.”

Make us like Jesus—glorified, immortal, incorruptible, eternal.

COMMAND US TO COME UP TO YOU:

Revelation 4:1—“Come up here.”

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17—“The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.”

Speak the word. Sound the trumpet. Give the command.

Catch us up. Seize us. Snatch us away.

Like Peter caught by Your hand.

Like Lot seized by the angels.

Like Enoch who vanished.

Like Elijah taken up.

COMMAND US TO BE WITH YOU FOREVER:

1 Thessalonians 4:17—“And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”

This is the goal. This is the promise. This is the hope.

Not just escape from Tribulation—though that’s Your grace.

Not just receiving glorified bodies—though that’s Your gift.

But TO BE WITH YOU FOREVER.

Where You are, we will be.

What You do, we will do.

How You reign, we will reign.

Forever. Eternally. Without end.

All of this, Lord, we ask according to:

Your Sovereign Will—You predestined it

Your Eternal Plan—You planned it before time

Your Good Pleasure—It pleases You to do it

Your Faithful Word—You promised it

Your Mighty Power—You are able to accomplish it

Your Boundless Grace—You give it freely

Your Infinite Love—You delight to bless Your children

We ask this not because we deserve it, but because You are GOOD.

Not because we earned it, but because of GRACE.

Not in our own name, but in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Savior, our King.

And we ask it with FAITH—knowing that You hear us, You will answer, You will accomplish exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.

COMMAND US, LORD.

SPEAK THE WORD.

“COME.”

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen and Amen.
