Whenever you end your personal prayers or corporate worship with the words ' through Jesus Christ Our Lord' and really unite both heart and mind with the words you say, that which you ask is done. Your prayer is offered to the Father in and through Me by the power of Our Holy Spirit. So do the earth-born desires of the Father's children rise to the highest reaches of Heaven. And in the process transformation takes place in some measure to the person from whom the prayer was offered as well as the person and society for whom it was offered. And I rejoice and suffer in all. The process of atonement was instant, but it is continuous. Once only was the offering made: continuously till the end of time and from the beginning of time does My heart rejoice and bleed as the intercessions pour through My Being, cleansed and purified, to be presented in love before the Father. Always recall as you use those words in prayer for yourself, your friends and loved ones and for the world's needy, that you invoke My Name, My Person, and My Saving Love through the agony of My suffering and the joy of My Resurrection. So is the Father's will accomplished, His world redeemed and saved, and the children of Our love matured and perfected.
