There is a verse that has become golden to me, "He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever." Psalm 21:4. Particularly when interpreted through a Messianic lens, can be understood as a reference to Jesus asking the Father for life, specifically eternal life.

While traditionally understood in relation to David's request for a long life, the psalm is also seen as a prophetic foreshadowing of Jesus' request for life and his subsequent granting of eternal life.

A deeper door of prayer was then opened to me and I went through it. I knew I was shown exactly what to ask for...LIFE. Through time this verse enlarged itself as I saw and understood by the Holy Spirit that if I asked what Jesus asked for, then it would be given. Notice, the answer to this prayer has a further addition..."even length of days, forever and ever."

I felt energized knowing I was shown by the Lord what to ask for with assurance of an answer. When God answers prayer, He breathes His life into the thing or person we are asking life for. My prayers grew to asking life for everyone who I prayed for in every circumstance and situation. Margaret Emma Barber's last powerful words while transitioning to heaven on her death bed were, "Life! Life!"

If you ask Jesus Christ for LIFE, He will give it to you when you ask for it. I have experienced this truth and He has always answered..."even length of days forever and ever." I will pray on...

"I think God wants to make me pure gold, so He is burning out the dross, teaching me the meaning of the fire, the burnt offering, the death of the self-part of me."
