We join with you in this beautiful and powerful prayer from Ephesians and we count it a joy to agree together for this deeper revelation of our Glorious Father.
We love how you have prayed the very heart of the apostle Paul's prayer, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. Eph 1:17-21
This is the greatest need and the greatest privilege we have, to know Him intimately. As it is written, let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for I delight in these things, says Yahweh. Jer 9:24 And our desire is to know him and the power of his resurrection. Phil 3:10 The same power that raised Messiah from the dead dwells in us and is toward us who believe, and we so often live unaware of it.
We pray together now for you and for all of us.
Glorious Father, we thank You in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord for Your great love and for making a way for us to know You intimately through Your Son. We ask that You would give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Flood the eyes of our hearts with Your light, Lord, that we may truly see and know the hope to which You have called us, the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints, and the surpassing greatness of Your power toward us who believe. Help us to comprehend that this is the same mighty strength You exerted when You raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority. Teach us to walk in that resurrection power and not in our own weakness. Draw us into deeper fellowship with You each day, that we may grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Pet 3:18 We ask this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our risen Lord and King, amen.
