🙇🏻 Wisdom & Revelation to Know God, The Hope of His Calling, Riches of Glorious Inheritance and the Surpassing Greatness of His Power, Eph 1:15-23, "For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all those God has Made Holy, 16 do not cease giving thanks for you in my praying: 17 'That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a Spirit of Wisdom and of Revelation in the true knowledge of Himself. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so you will know the hope of His calling, the riches of the glory of His inheritance in those who have been sanctified, 19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accord with the working of the strength of His might 20 which He exerted in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His Right Hand in the Heavenly Places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, in this age and in the one to come. 22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way,'" Eph 1:15-23.
 
We lift our hearts together in prayer, standing on the powerful words of Ephesians 1:15-23, which you have so beautifully shared. This passage is a profound declaration of the spiritual blessings and divine wisdom available to us through Christ Jesus. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to confess Him as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for it is with the heart that one believes and is justified, and with the mouth that one confesses and is saved (Romans 10:9-10).

Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking that You would indeed grant us a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the true knowledge of Yourself. Open the eyes of our hearts, Lord, that we may know the hope to which You have called us, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints and the incomparably great power for us who believe. This power is the same as the mighty strength You exerted when You raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in this age but also in the one to come (Ephesians 1:17-21).

We pray that this revelation would not be merely intellectual but would transform our hearts and lives. May we walk in the fullness of what it means to be Your children, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17). Help us to grasp the depth of Your love, which surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19). Let us live as those who are seated with Christ in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 2:6), operating in the authority and power that He has given us to overcome every scheme of the enemy.

Lord, we also pray for discernment to recognize and reject any deception or distraction that would keep us from fully embracing Your calling. The enemy seeks to blind the minds of unbelievers and even to deceive those who know You (2 Corinthians 4:4). Guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, and let no false teaching or worldly philosophy take root in us (Colossians 2:8). Instead, fill us with the knowledge of Your will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives (Colossians 1:9).

We rebuke any spirit of complacency or spiritual apathy that would hinder us from pursuing You with all our hearts. The Scriptures warn us that in the last days, people will have a form of godliness but deny its power (2 Timothy 3:5). Let this not be true of us! Stir within us a hunger and thirst for righteousness, that we may be filled (Matthew 5:6). Ignite in us a passion for prayer, the study of Your Word, and obedience to Your commands.

Father, we also lift up those who may be struggling with doubt or unbelief. If there are areas in our lives where we have not fully trusted You, reveal them to us and help us to surrender them completely. Remind us that without faith, it is impossible to please You, for those who come to You must believe that You exist and that You reward those who earnestly seek You (Hebrews 11:6). Strengthen our faith, Lord, and help us to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

We declare that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work within us. Let this truth empower us to live victoriously, to love boldly, and to serve faithfully. May we be a light in this dark world, reflecting the glory of Christ and making disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). Use us, Lord, to advance Your kingdom and to bring glory to Your name.

Finally, we pray for unity in the body of Christ. May we, as Your church, be united in love and purpose, just as You and the Father are one (John 17:21). Let there be no division among us, but rather, let us be perfectly united in mind and thought (1 Corinthians 1:10). Bind us together with cords of love that cannot be broken, and let us spur one another on toward love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24).

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
 
What a beautiful prayer this is, and we are grateful that your heart is set on these things. There is something profoundly moving when a person’s deepest request isn’t for a change of circumstances but for a change of sight, to truly see what God has already given us in Christ. That kind of longing is itself a gift, a sign that the Spirit is already stirring the very wisdom and revelation you are asking for.

When a passage like Ephesians 1:15-23 becomes our prayer, we find that it works on us even as we pray it. We have found it helpful not to rush through, but to let a single phrase settle in the mind for a day or even a week. You could try simply lingering with “the hope of His calling” one morning, asking the Lord what that specific hope means for who you are right now. The next day, ponder “the riches of His glorious inheritance” and let it slowly reshape how you see yourself. On another, sit with “the surpassing greatness of His power” and let the sheer size of it quiet the smaller anxieties that tend to dominate our thoughts. This isn’t about working up a feeling; it’s about giving the Spirit room to make the truth more real to us than the visible world.

As we grow in this, hope becomes more than a concept, it becomes the anchor that holds us steady even when nothing around us looks hopeful. It links our present struggles to the certain future we have in Christ, and that is a deeply strengthening thing.

Lord Jesus, we ask together for what you already love to give. Open our eyes to see you more clearly. Let us not just know about the hope, the inheritance, and the power, but know them with the eyes of our hearts, so that they become the ground beneath our feet and the joy that carries us through every ordinary day. Amen.
 
You pray for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Here is the answer set before you in the text: Christ, personally, is the power of God and the wisdom of God. If you wish to find wisdom, you must find it in the word of revelation, nay, in THE Word, the living Christ. The hope of His calling and the riches of His inheritance are not discovered by the dim light of nature, but by the Spirit who takes of the things of Christ and shows them to you. That surpassing greatness of His power is the very power which raised Him from the dead and set Him at God’s right hand. Seek no power apart from this, for the true and real power lies in Jesus THE WORD. When the truth falls fresh from His own lips, then is it power.

Yet you must not merely admire this prayer from afar. Have you experienced its excellence? If the Gospel comes to you with power, it will exalt God in your estimation and bring you low at the foot of the Cross. He that has never endured may believe in the sustaining power of grace, but he has never had experience of it. You must put to sea to know the skill of the Divine Pilot. Our own strength must depart, and then the power of God flows in to fill up the vacuum. This is the ground of a hope that makes not ashamed: the love of God is the final reason for it. In our present delight in God we have the earnest of our endless joy in Him. And as for the inheritance, the Throne of God and of the Lamb, these are not divided. The one kingdom of God, even the Father, is identical with the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

How then shall you obtain this? Listen to the voice of the Lord, for He has declared the secret: whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he. There is a conquering power in faith, because faith pleads the promises of God. Power with God takes the shape of prayer. Go with holy boldness, pleading the relationships of grace, crying, “Abba! Father!” A true spiritual understanding, a genuine revelation, always produces an intense hatred of every false way, a clinging to the Truth of God, and a longing to see Christ glorious in the eyes of men.

There is no hope for you in yourself, but there is hope for you in Him whom God has provided to be the Savior of such as you. God must do it; it is God’s work. But we are not idle; the true war-cry is, The sword of the Lord and of Gideon! God bless you by His Spirit. Amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

 
What a lofty and blessed request you bring, drawn from the Apostle’s own prayer. You ask for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened. This is no small supplication but the very cry of a soul yearning for its true homeland. Consider what the Apostle models for us. He did not cease giving thanks and praying for the faithful, that they might grasp these very things, for he knew that doctrines so wise, yea, wiser than all, being received by ordinary men, testify to the greatest wisdom in the teacher. If the ordinary mind can lay hold of them, it is by a power not human at all.

Now, do you wish to know the hope of His calling? Then fix your gaze on the immensity of the love of God, how it extends everywhere, to the breadth, and length, and height, and depth. Do not think this knowledge comes by idle reasoning. The Apostle himself says that it is by the Holy Spirit’s might that we must be strengthened to apprehend it. There is no other way to be strengthened but by the Holy Ghost, both on account of trials and carnal reasonings. Without this divine strength, the soul is weak and cannot bear the vision of such glory.

And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe? It is nothing less than the very working of the strength of His might which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places. See where your mind is led, upward to the throne! Having discoursed of the passion and cross, the Apostle immediately introduces the resurrection and the kingdom, so that your hope may not rest in this world. Christ, who is the Resurrection and the Life, is not confined by place; He who fills everything in every way is head over all things to the church, which is His body.

Therefore, do not seek this revelation as a mere intellectual prize. The wisdom of God appears as foolishness to the world, yet the foolishness of God is far mightier than the wisdom of man. He who gave us a baptism for the remission of sins and shed abroad His Spirit into our hearts has also opened a way to the true knowledge of Himself. The inheritance is rich, the power is surpassing, and the calling is filled with hope because it rests entirely on the risen Lord, who has sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, having obtained a more excellent name. Let your prayer be joined with holy obedience, like the one who, hearing the call, broke away at once from all worldly things, and let your eyes be enlightened to see the glory of your inheritance among the sanctified.
