Unlocking God's Spiritual Dimension




Today’s Text Comes from: Ephesians 1:18-19

"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will 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 surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe..." 


Today’s Notes from the Scriptures


Paul knew the power of God was real. It was power that could change lives, perform miracles, and meet needs. The world could know that Jesus wasn't just a good teacher-He was alive, and faith in Him could transform lives.

      But Paul also knew that many of the people who believed in Jesus didn't yet experience the true depth of this power. He knew that a spiritual dimension was available to every Believer, but it took a revelation from God to make this dimension real.
      In the opening of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, he prayed that God would give these Believers a revelation like this: a spirit of wisdom, enlightened spiritual eyes, a knowledge of their calling, and an understanding of God's great power. Instead of just knowing about God, he wanted them to really know Him.
      Paul prayed that they would know the overwhelming hope they had because of their special calling, realizing the inheritance they had in Jesus and grasping the power He wanted to release in their lives. This power was not just for a select few, but available to anyone who believed in Jesus!
      These principles still are true! We still need a spiritual revelation to gain the right understanding and comprehend all that God has given to us.
      Today, you don't have to feel powerless or inadequate. All of God's riches and power are available to you! Ask Him to give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, enlightening the eyes of your understanding. 
      God is ready to unleash His power in your life. If you seek Him diligently, He will unlock this spiritual dimension...for you!



Prayer
Father, give me a spirit of wisdom and revelation in a true knowledge of You. Help me gain a greater understanding of the power You've given me. Thank You! In Jesus' name. Amen
