• Would You Pray Like This?

  The Apostle Paul prayed these blessings for seekers of God like you and me.

  Now I pray them for myself, having changed Paul's word "you all" to the word me, etc.

  "I pray continuously that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of my understanding being enlightened; that I may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,  and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power  which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places…
  

  For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,  that He would grant us, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in our inner man,  that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith; that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that we may be filled with all the fullness of God. "
  

  This prayer was and is inspired by the Holy Spirit of God.  See Ephesians 1:16-20 & 3:14-19.  Many Christians have prayed in this way and grew spiritually; and I learned it from Brother Kenneth Hagin Sr.

  Do you think that, perhaps, praying sincerely in this way will make your life more spiritually profitable?
