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.
Reading : Ephesians 3:14-19

Authority
Power of Attorney
The individual believer and the corporate church has the legal right to use the name of Jesus in the battle against the enemy in the daily affairs of life. When He ascended on high Jesus gave us the church the right to His name. Jesus gave us the Power of Attorney to use His name.
What is the power of attorney? What is the value of It? The value of the power of attorney depends upon how much is the back of it. It depends upon how much authority and power the name represents.
If we study the scriptures and find out what is the back of the Name, how much power and authority that name represents, then we will get a glimpse of what the Name can mean to us in our daily lives.
The measure of His ability is the measure of of the value of that Name. And it belongs to the church and Jesus gave us the unqualified use of His Name. John 16:24 give us the unlimited use of His Name in prayer. Prayer prayed in His Name will receive His special attention . And when the prayer is prayed in His Name, the Father is obliged to answer it based upon the New Covenant.
When we take our position and stand in the rights and priveledges in the New Covenant and pray in Jesus Name, it passes out of our hands into the hands of Jesus. He assumes the responsibility for that prayer.

Authority
Scripture Reading : Philippians 2:9-10
The Authority and Power that is in the name of Jesus belongs to the church but yet most of the Christendom live defeated lives. Christians use the name of Jesus when saying grace and it is about all the it is used so frequently. But the Lord want us to understand the revelation that is behind the name of Jesus and the power that backs it up.
Just before Jesus ascended to heaven after he gave the command tot he disciples to "Go ye into all the world.." He gave them the unlimited use of His name in life and ministry. The book of Acts gives us an account of the exploits of the early church using the name of Jesus where ever they went. This should be the prototype of the modern in the 20 th Century we live in.
"God highly exalted Him.. " The highest authority in the Universe has placed far above any other as He has exalted and lifted Him up and gave and conferred Him Name that is above every other name in three worlds-heaven, earth and hell. every being in heaven, on earth and under the earth will have to bow down and submit to the wonderful name of Jesus.
His name is above every sickness and disease, financial difficulty, family and relationship problems and habit. If there is name named in these three worlds then the Name of Jesus has full authority over these. The omnipotent power of God is available to us but the church is still in its infancy in understanding this great Revelation that we fin in the Pauline epistles.
The Name above all name -Jesus belong to us . Let's begin to us it in our daily warfare.
