Love in the Spirit.

Rom 16:19  For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. 

Eph 1:15  Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 

Eph 1:16  Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 

Eph 1:17  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 

Eph 1:18  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 

Eph 1:19  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 

Eph 1:20  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places

Praying that our Heavenly Father gives us the spirit of wisdom- the spirit of revelation in knowledge of Him. Praying that the eyes of our understanding is enlightened. Praying that we know what is the hope of our Savior's calling. Praying that we know the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. Praying that we know the exceeding greatness of His power towards us who believe- according to the working of His might power. All of this through Christ Jesus who the Father God raised from the dead and set down at His own right hand in heaven.

SPIRIT of wisdom.  Praying that we comprehend truly and fully all that our Heavenly Father has done and will do for us through our Savior, Jesus Christ.

We NEED the SPIRIT of wisdom! We need to constantly comprehend that we have a HEAVENLY FATHER who THROUGH the sacrifice of HIS Son want us to KNOW HIM FULLY, to KNOW HIS LOVE, to KNOW HIS EXCEEDING GREATNESS of HIS POWER towards us who believe! 

We walk through this life with so many struggles- so much confusion and we need to believe through it ALL we are kept in God through our Savior. OUR HOPE IS ETERNAL in our GOD in our SAVIOR! This must be our daily HOPE, our hourly HOPE!

If we lose sight of our HOPE because this world steals our attention and pulls our focus downward instead of heavenward then we are in big trouble, constant trouble. Our focus must be heavenward where our Savior is, where our God is, where our Lord wanted us to forever look. He came preaching the gospel, the message of the heavenly kingdom.

Col 1:3  We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 

Col 1:4  Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, 

Col 1:5  For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 

Col 1:6  Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: 

Col 1:7  As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; 

Col 1:8  Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. 

Col 1:9  For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 

Col 1:10  That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 

Col 1:11  Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 

Col 1:12  Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 

Col 1:13  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 

Col 1:14  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins
