In Ephesians chapter 1, Paul wrote and prayed by THE SPIRIT:
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.
22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
If FATHER did not want us to have the Spirit of wisdom and revelation HE would not have moved upon Paul to pray and write this prayer. Wisdom would have us discern the value and fully esteem the Words of Jesus and those Words would reveal what FATHER wants us to not only comprehend be employ in our own lives. We must not be moved by the world’s circumstances but instead we must not only tap into to HIS mighty power but walk in it on a daily basis. This power is not only intended for use in the highest realm of the Spiritual but in the lower realms as well, including the physical. Jesus had no reluctance to command the physical as the need arose.
Our eyes of understanding must be enlightened for us to see and embrace the fullness of Christ. We must not let hope be deferred but walk in that hope on a daily basis despite what is going on all around us. Let us open our eyes wide that we may comprehend the riches of the glory of our inheritance. That inheritance is not only in the future but in the here and now.
FATHER displayed HIS power over death when HE raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him and seated Him at HIS Right Hand. Is there a greater power than raising the dead in this physical realm? Jesus displayed that power when He raised Lazarus from the dead by the power given to Him by FATHER. As we take on the Spirit of wisdom, revelation, and understanding we too should expect to walk in similar fashion as our Elder Brother Jesus. We must not let the carnal man convince us otherwise for the old man would keep us bound in those worldly chains of death and destruction if possible. We must not let our past dictate our future. If Paul had succumbed to the past, he would not have been any part of what we call the New Testament.
Jesus Christ has been raised by FATHER above all principalities, powers, might, and dominions. To further state the reality, every name that is named is also included which leaves nothing else above Him. Make no mistake He is above all and we should esteem Him accordingly. Those who are ashamed of Jesus Christ do not comprehend His Majesty and should repent and refocus on His Words. Who else is a better representation of FATHER than HIS first begotten Son?
The world has and is attempting to suppress the knowledge of Jesus Christ Our Lord. The remnant has been chosen to carry not only the Banner of Christ but also to operate in the power as mature Sons and Daughters. Let us embrace this calling and press in to the fullest extent. Every other activity is secondary to our mandate so let us set ourselves in full agreement with FATHER rather than man. Be not moved by the events of the world but only be moved by FATHER’S Word to you.
We must take a stand for righteousness and not compromise and submit to the world’s ways for they are only temporary anyway. Jesus has been described as our Rock for HE is immovable. Let our Love, faith, and hope be immovable as well so that those who cross our paths will see hope in their lives as well. Are you being faced with challenges? Don’t cower down but instead rise up in righteousness and deal with them head on. FATHER’S Word has power to cause It to come to pass for those who walk in It. Being fully led by the Holy Spirit, the disciples accomplished great things on behalf of the Kingdom. We too will do the same.
