17I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms
paul's prayer for the church in ephesus, ephesians 1:17-20
Father, God of our Lord Jesus Christ, i come before you today asking for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation for your people. i thank you for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, that makes it possible for us to comprehend an infinite God. thank you for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, that turns head knowledge into heart realities. God i'm asking for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to bring about heart realities in your people. i'm asking that the truth and the bible knowledge and bible facts may come alive in your people, and that lives will be changed because of love encounters through your Spirit. we recognize that it is only by your Spirit that enables your truth to come alive within us. so God, let your people be ones who are filled with the Spirit of revelation, and that your word shall not return to you void, but you will be impacting lives with the power of your love.

ReplyDeleteI pray that creation will know Creator. Would we know that we are formed beings - continually formed by and also living for - the revelation of Love. Show us how to live responding to dynamic and fresh love.
I thank you that the revelation of You is everywhere - in the smallest detail to the limits of space! because you are Yahweh, the reason of existence.
I pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation, and love of your word. I pray that people would know the aliveness of the autobiography of Jesus. I pray that you stir desperation to know you Jesus.
I pray for receptive vessels of your spirit. Would you help position believers and nonbelievers to you, to catch living water.
You said you prepare the harvest. Work in us, prepare us as laborers for the harvest now and for the upcoming year.
Lord God, Father, Daddy I plead before you asking that you would cause the scales on each one of our eyes to fall. That nonbeliever and believer alike would experience you and see you in all truth. I pray that satan's power throughout this world would not obscure your image or distort it, but rather would show more clearly how in contrast to satan, you are powerful, magnificent, beautiful, and loving. God help me to be an instrument of love and understanding such that other's scales would fall as a flutter of leaves from an autumn-ripe tree. God may each one of us be as the naked tree waiting desperately to be covered in the fruit and greens of your spirit. May we be stripped of pride and shame, knowledge and gain and lay it all before you. May we know the freedom you give and the love that you give.
