Transformational Prayer
by Major
Stephen Court
We have been crucified with Christ; and
we no longer live, but Christ lives in us; and the life people
see us living we live by faith in Your Son, who loved us and
gave Himself for us (Galatians 2:20). Now we who belong to
Christ Jesus have crucified the natural inclination to sin
with all of its passions and desires (Galatians 5:24). We
don’t want to boast in anything except the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ, on which the world has been crucified to us, and
we to the world (Galatians 6:14).
For God, You said, "Light shall shine
out of darkness.” You are the One who shines in our hearts,
illuminating in us the knowledge of Your glory in the face of
Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6). We lack no gift (1 Corinthians
1:7). Blessed be You, God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
for You have blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the
heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). Love is the gait
with which we walk, the same love-gait Jesus popularized and
actualized on His trek to the Cross that created such an
offering and sacrifice to You, such a fragrant aroma
(Ephesians 5:2).
Christ in us, the hope of glory! We
spread the amazing news of the riches of the glory of this
mystery among everyone who will listen (Colossians 1:27). We
fight the good fight of faith. We grasp hold of the eternal
life to which You have called us (1 Timothy 6:12). You have
saved us and called us with a holy calling, not because of the
great things we have done, but according to Your own purpose
and grace granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity (2
Timothy 1:9). For God, You so loved the world, that You gave
Your only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish,
but have eternal life (John 3:16).
