Pray His Power

Ephesians 1:15-21
15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.


How often to you give thanks to Jesus Christ for the saints that are in your life? Those individuals that you know are close to God, who have mentored and loved you through all walks of life. When is the last time you lifted them up by name? Well how about today? The scripture above contains another one of Paul's awesome prayers. Let us look at what He prays for:

1) spirit of wisdom
2) revelation in the knowledge of Him
3) eyes of understanding being enlightened
4) know the hope of His calling
5) the riches of the glory of His inheritance
6) greatness of His power towards us who believe
7) according to the workings of His power
8) same power that raised Jesus from the dead
9) greater than any name ever named
10) greater than any name to come

Have you prayed this for yourself today? Do it!  It will look something like this:


Dear Jesus,

 I am asking with all my heart that you give to me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Please enlighten the eyes of my understanding, that I may know what is the hope of Your calling, that I may know, what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power toward me because I believe. Grant strength to me according to the working of Your mighty power, which raised You from the dead and seated You at His right hand in the heavenly places. Jesus your name is far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

Pray it today, it will be a blessing!
