Knowing what belongs to us..

Ephesians 1:16-20 WNT

(16) offer never ceasing thanks on your behalf while I make mention of you in my prayers.
(17) For I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father most glorious--to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him,
(18) the eyes of your understanding being enlightened so that you may know what is the hope which His call to you inspires, what the wealth of the glory of His inheritance in God's people,
(19) and what the transcendent greatness of His power in us believers as seen in the working of His infinite might
(20) when He displayed it in Christ by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in the heavenly realms,

Paul prays this Holy Spirit inspired prayer for the Ephesians Christians. This prayer must also be prayed by the Modern day child of God. I have personally prayed this prayer and other prayers of Paul in the epistles and found that the Lord progressive led me to the knowledge of God that we have today in our lives.

To understand the precious and glorious wealth that you and I have in Christ, we must have the spirit of wisdom and revelation. The spirit of wisdom and revelation releases the mysteries of heaven and bring to us the reality of redemption and what belongs to us in Christ. The reality of the indwelling Spirit, the reality of the New Creation, the reality of our perfect redemption, the reality of the name of Jesus..etc come to us through revelation. It does not come by any other way. Man, being a spirit, has the ability to communicate with God and receive revelations.

When we catch a glimpse of His glory, the things of this world will become dim and blurred and loses it grip on us .

So lets start praying this prayer and other in the epistles and see how much we can grow in the authority that belongs to us.
