The veil is indeed taken away for us. This is where we have to truly understand. The veil is broken for all. Plural. We can go as an individual but also as a group the veil is torn. We have access to the heavenly court. Everybody in it too. ( Zechariah 3) We are not "redirecting it."This is where people misunderstand. Group prayer is even more powerful and anointed. Look at Acts12. The power of group prayers is awesome.
12 :
5 While Peter was kept in prison, the CHURCH( a group) PRAYED FERVENTLY to GOD for HIM( an individual)
Peter Delivered from Prison
6 The very night before Herod was going to bring him out, Peter, bound with two chains, was sleeping between two soldiers, while guards in front of the door were keeping watch over the prison. 7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists. 8 The angel said to him, “Fasten your belt and put on your sandals.” He did so. Then he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” 9 Peter[a] went out and followed him; he did not realize that what was happening with the angel’s help was real; he thought he was seeing a vision. 10 After they had passed the first and the second guard, they came before the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them of its own accord, and they went outside and walked along a lane, when suddenly the angel left him. 11 Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hands of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.” 12 As soon as he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where MANY( group) had GATHERED and were PRAYING. 13 When he knocked at the outer gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer. 14 On recognizing Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that, instead of opening the gate, she ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the gate. 15 They said to her, “You are out of your mind!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.” 16 Meanwhile Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the gate, they saw him and were amazed. 17 He motioned to them with his hand to be silent, and described for them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. "
LOL! It was easier for Peter to get out of Jail then to knock on the door where pray for him was still taking place. This is the power of group prayer. Amazing. How much more for those in heaven to pray for us.
Also you put we have access to the creator like in only? According to Zechariah 3 we have access to God and the Heavenly court. Notice that it talks about when sin is taken away. Which is after the crucifixion then the veil is torn in the temple in our gospels. This is what Zechariah is mentioning.
Zechariah 3:
4 He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” Again he said to him, “See, I have taken your iniquity away from you and [b]will clothe you with festal robes.” 5 Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of the Lord was standing by.
6 And the angel of the Lord admonished Joshua, saying, 7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘If you will walk in My ways and if you will perform My service, then you will also govern My house and also have charge of My courts, and I will grant you FREE ACCESS AMONG THESE WHO ARE STANDING HERE.
The Branch
8 Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you—indeed they are men who are a symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the [d]Branch. 9 For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,’ declares the Lord of hosts, ‘and I will REMOVE THE INIQUITY of that LAND in ONE DAY. 10 ‘In that day,’ declares the Lord of hosts, ‘every one of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.’”
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@" I will grant you FREE ACCESS AMONG THESE WHO ARE STANDING HERE."
THIS IS OUR ACCESS FOR HEAVENLY PRAYERS FROM THE HEAVENLY COURT WITH GOD.
When we begin the prayers that you claim you do not understand. We Catholics declare an allegiance to the Father through Christ. This always begins in the beginning. It is called the APOSTLES CREED. This brings us into the True Spirit- THE HOLY SPIRIT. When we say this successfully in belief we are lined up as John wrote with 1John4. We then proceed in the spirit because we can never truly declare this without the Holy Spirit.
I have personally called out a spell casting woman who declared she was a Christian. She could not for the life of her say this Apostles or Nicene Creed when it came to the specific born of the Virgin Mary. This is to declare in the flesh/ human. She blurted out "wrong manifestations." I know what I am talking about from a specific unction from Our Lord. The Holy Spirit shows us into all things.
God will not permit it unless someone has The Holy Spirit. It is just there from Christ. It is what it is in Christ.
We then in the prayer have established who we are in Christ so we then proceed with the "Our Father." God already knows and sees us asking in the Spirit of God. We then proceed with other prayers with this access to ask for prayers from the Heavenly court. It is always centered in Christ to the Holy Father in Heaven.
AMEN.
There is no reference to any Christian in the book of Zechariah...The verses you are trying to apply to you and your religion are meaningless to Christians...
What is being discussed in Zechariah is the return of our Lord and his physical reign on a physical throne in the physical city of Jerusalem over his physical chosen people, the Jews...
All it amounts to is actually reading Zechariah and BELIEVING it...
Zec 8:3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
Zec 8:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
Zec 8:8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
Zec 8:20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
Zec 8:21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
Zec 8:22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
Zec 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
This ain't no heavenly city of Jerusalem
Zec 14:14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zec 14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
Zec 14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zec 14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
The will be no Egyptians getting killed in heavenly Jerusalem...
I wish you guys would actually read the bible before you come off with some half-cocked idea to defend your religion...
