” I haven’t stopped thanking Him for you. I am continually speaking to Him on your behalf in my prayers. Here’s what I say:
God of our Lord Jesus the Anointed, Father of Glory: I call out to You on behalf of Your people. Give them minds ready to receive wisdom and revelation so they will truly know You. Open the eyes of their hearts, and let the light of Your truth flood in. Shine Your light on the hope You are calling them to embrace. Reveal to them the glorious riches You are preparing as their inheritance. Let them see the full extent of Your power that is at work in those of us who believe, and may it be done according to Your might and power.
Friends, it is this same might and resurrection power that He used in the Anointed One to raise Him from the dead and to position Him at His right hand in heaven. There is nothing over Him. He’s above all rule, authority, power, and dominion; over every name invoked, over every title bestowed in this age and the next. God has placed all things beneath His feet and anointed Him as the head over all things for His church. This church is His body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all” (Ephesians 1:16-23, The Voice).
May you know just as surely as the sun rises in the East that through the power of the cross and the resurrection that you are no longer misfits and nobodies but God’s masterpiece and His inheritance.
May you receive in Christ all that God has for you and know to the depths of your souls this power that raised Jesus from the dead and that now dwells in you through the Holy Spirit.
May you know that God’s approval is already yours in Christ and that the victory is already won.
Amen.
