🙇🏻 Holy Spirit of Wisdom & Revelation to Know God, The Hope of His Calling, Riches of His Inheritance & His Exceedingly Great Strength, Eph 1:15-23

[Nochaeld]

"We bow our knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, asking He would grant us, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power and might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in our hearts' through faith; that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints, what is the width and length and depth and height — to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that we may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen, Eph 3:14-20."

We join you in lifting up this powerful prayer from Ephesians, seeking the Holy Spirit’s wisdom, revelation, and strength to know God more deeply. What a beautiful cry of the heart, to be rooted in Christ’s love, filled with His fullness, and empowered by His Spirit! This is the very essence of the Christian life: to know Him, to be known by Him, and to walk in the surpassing greatness of His power.

The apostle Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1 and 3 is a model for all believers. He does not merely ask for superficial blessings but for the depth of God’s truth to take hold in our lives. We too must pray for spiritual eyes to see the hope of His calling, the riches of our inheritance in Christ, and the immeasurable strength available to us through His Spirit. Without this revelation, we risk living as spiritual paupers when we are, in fact, heirs of the King.

Yet even as we pray these truths, we must examine our hearts. Are we truly seeking God’s wisdom, or are we chasing after worldly knowledge that puffs up rather than builds up? Are we allowing Christ to dwell in our hearts through faith, or are we clinging to sin, self-reliance, or idols that hinder His work? The Holy Spirit searches the depths of God (1 Corinthians 2:10-11), and He will reveal areas where we resist His leading. Let us not quench or grieve Him (1 Thessalonians 5:19, Ephesians 4:30) but yield fully to His refining fire.

We also recognize that this prayer is not for individualistic gain but for the body of Christ, the Church. The "width, length, depth, and height" of Christ’s love is not meant to be grasped alone but with all the saints (Ephesians 3:18). Are we walking in unity with our brothers and sisters in Christ, or have divisions, bitterness, or pride crept in? The world will know we are His disciples by our love for one another (John 13:35). Let us repent of any relational fractures and pursue reconciliation, for the glory of God is at stake.

Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we can approach Your throne (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). We ask that You would grant us, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with power through Your Spirit in our inner being. Let Christ dwell in our hearts by faith, rooting and grounding us in love. May we comprehend, truly know, the love of Christ that surpasses all understanding, so that we may be filled with all Your fullness.

Lord, we confess that without You, we can do nothing (John 15:5). We need Your wisdom to navigate this world, Your revelation to see truth clearly, and Your strength to walk in obedience. Forgive us for the times we have leaned on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6) or sought fulfillment in anything other than You. Renew our minds (Romans 12:2) and align our desires with Yours.

We pray for the Church worldwide, that she would rise up in the power of Your Spirit, unashamed of the gospel (Romans 1:16), and bold in proclaiming Christ crucified. May we be a people marked by love, holiness, and the fear of the Lord. Let Your glory fill the earth as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14).

And to You, O God, who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to You be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21). We trust You to accomplish far more than we could ever imagine, for Your glory and our good. In Jesus’ name, we pray.

We love how you’ve woven these prayers into a single, earnest cry for God’s wisdom and strength. When we pray Scripture back to God, we’re not just asking for things, we’re letting the truths themselves reshape our hearts. These passages from Ephesians are gifts that keep on giving as we sit with them over time.

One practical way to deepen this is to take a phrase from each section each day this week and breathe it into your own circumstances. For instance, on Monday, linger with “the hope of His calling.” Ask the Father, “What does that hope look like in my life right now?” On Tuesday, rest in “the riches of His glorious inheritance”, not only what is to come, but what He has already deposited in you through His Spirit. On Wednesday, simply receive “His exceedingly great strength,” and name the places where you feel weak. Let the words become personal communion, not just a request.

You’ve prayed for the whole community, and that matters. These are prayers we can carry with us into every ordinary day. They don’t depend on a spiritual high; they’re built on the steady, reliable love of God that roots us and grounds us, whether we feel it or not. As you continue to ask for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, trust that He is at work, often in hidden, unspectacular ways, expanding your capacity to know Christ and to be filled with His fullness.

We join you in that prayer now:

Father, thank You that You are eager to give us wisdom and reveal Yourself to us. Strengthen this dear praying friend with power through Your Spirit in the inner being. Let Christ dwell deeply in their heart through faith, so that they are rooted and established in love. Grant them the grace to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is that love, and to know it even when it surpasses knowledge. Fill them with all Your fullness, for Your glory alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

You have prayed the very prayer that every child of God must ever breathe, for what is our need but to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith? This is the root of all true religion, not the cold knowledge that puffs up, but the heart-knowledge that God gives, when He leads us to know that He is Jehovah. Mere reason may perceive a God, but only the new heart can cry, “Abba, Father,” and be filled with all the fullness of God.

Observe how the Apostle bows his knees, not to a distant abstraction, but to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. This is the God who has made Himself known in the Son, and it is through the Son that we come to the Father. There is no hope of His calling apart from Jesus, no riches of His inheritance except in union with Him who is the Heir of all things. Therefore the prayer you have lifted is a prayer that honors Christ, and it is a prayer that God delights to answer.

The exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, this is what you need to lay hold upon. That power raised Christ from the dead and set Him at His own right hand, far above all principality and power. The same power that broke the bars of death must operate in you, or you will remain helpless. Cry, “Draw me, and we will run after You,” for unless He draw, you cannot move. But when the Spirit draws, the heart is enlivened, the will is sweetly inclined, and the feet are made swift in the ways of His statutes. Great peace have they that love His Law, and nothing shall offend them. That peace is not a surface calm; it is the deep, settled quiet of the soul that knows it is rooted and grounded in love.

And what is this love that passes knowledge? It is the love of Christ, which He proved when He poured out His soul unto death and was numbered with the transgressors. He loved the Church and gave Himself for her. This is not a general benevolence; it is a special, distinguishing, covenant love that fixes itself upon the unworthy and says, “You are Mine.” To know this love, you must be brought to the foot of the Cross, where He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors. There, in the vineyard of His own planting, He is before the Father, ever appearing for us. He cares for His own with an everlasting care, for He says, “If you seek Me, let these go their way.” He is the willing Savior, the tender Husband of His bride.

You have asked to comprehend the width and length and depth and height of His love. That is a vast desire, yet He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. Only remember, this knowledge comes not by intellectual effort but by the indwelling Spirit. The truth must go from the head to the heart before its power is known. We must be learners at the feet of Jesus, submitting to the infallible teaching of the Holy Spirit who leads us into all truth. Then we find that the peace of God which passes all understanding keeps our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

So let this prayer be your daily breath: “Teach me Your statutes. Show me my foolishness and sin, that I may flee anew to the fountain opened. Draw me nearer Thyself, and let the memory of Your love enflame my cold heart. Strengthen me in the inner man, for I am weak and heavy-laden. And when I cannot grasp the fullness of God, fill me with it, that I may be a vessel of mercy prepared for Your glory.” To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

You have lifted up a prayer that echoes the very heart of the Apostle Paul, that great lover of souls who yearned without ceasing for whole churches to be filled with the knowledge of God. What you seek is no small thing, it is the very inheritance of the saints, the riches of His glory, and the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe. And know this: God is not unrighteous to forget such a desire. When a soul stretches itself toward the hope of His calling, He is more ready to give than we are to ask.

The spirit of wisdom and revelation Paul prays for is nothing other than having the eyes of your heart flooded with light. It is not a wisdom of words, but a living illumination so that you may truly know what God has prepared for those who love Him. And what is that hope? Not earthly ease, but the glory of being conformed to His Son, an inheritance kept in heaven for you, purchased by the very resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead. That same power is at work in you now, by the Holy Spirit whom God has shed abroad in your heart, not sparingly but in rich profusion.

When you bow your knees to the Father, asking to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, you are asking for Christ to dwell in your heart through faith. And what comes from that indwelling? You become rooted and grounded in love. This is the love that surpasses knowledge, the width and length and depth and height of Christ’s own self-giving. To comprehend it with all the saints is to begin tasting even now the fullness of God, until we are filled up to all the measure of God’s own life.

Yet remember that such prayers are answered along the road of faithful obedience. Abraham went out not knowing where he was going, simply because God called. So keep entrusting yourself to Him, laying aside every weight of sin, and follow after that victory which comes not by doing wrong but by suffering wrong with patience. For the Father who has named His whole family in heaven and earth will not fail to bring you into the inheritance promised. He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that already works in you. To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever. Amen.

We are deeply grateful that you entrusted us with the privilege of standing in agreement with you in prayer, lifting up your heartfelt cry for the Holy Spirit of wisdom and revelation to know God more intimately. What a sacred request—to be strengthened with power in your inner man, that Christ may dwell richly in your heart through faith, and that you may grasp the vast dimensions of His love that surpasses all knowledge! We have continued to intercede for you, asking the Father to fill you with all His fullness, just as you prayed from Ephesians 3.

If the Lord has already moved in mighty ways—if you’ve sensed His presence more deeply, received fresh revelation of His calling, or experienced the riches of His inheritance in a new way—we would be overjoyed to hear your praise report. Please share how He has answered, so we may rejoice with you!

If, however, the answer hasn’t yet become clear, or if the longing for deeper intimacy with Him still burns within you, we encourage you to post this request again. We are committed to standing with you in prayer, trusting that our faithful God will do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power at work in us.

May the Lord continue to draw you closer to His heart, revealing His hope, His strength, and the immeasurable greatness of His love for you. We pray this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
