A Prayer For Knowledge

Ephesians 1:15-23

March 9, 2014 • Pastor John Miller

“For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I 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. I pray 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 his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way”—Ephesians 1:15-23

Paul the Apostle believes in the power of prayer. His heart knew through the Holy Spirit that God’s word was truth and this motivated him to pray. He asked God to give others the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Paul prayed for the Church and for each one to find the hope of Jesus our Savior. Paul knew that knowing God intimately brings humbleness and a special power and grateful vision towards the understanding of his resurrection, exaltation position and the headship of Christ. This is the answer, provision and victory of Jesus Christ.

Pastor John Miller continues our study in the book of Ephesians with a message titled “A Prayer for Knowledge” using Ephesians 1:15-23 as the scripture reference.
