KNOWING GOD
Today we are going to confess Colossians 1:9-11 over ourselves. Ponder and meditate it all day. You may want to pray this word over others also.
I do not cease to pray and make special request for you, asking THAT:
(1) You may be filled with the full, deep and clear knowledge of God’s will
in all spiritual wisdom, in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God
and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things—–
(2) You may walk, live and conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him and desiring to please him in all things,
bearing fruit in every good work
and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God
with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight, acquaintance and recognition,
(3) You may be invigorated and strengthened with all power (That’s God’s mighty power.) according to the might of His glory.
Look at these three scripture verses. This is God’s Word, which is true for anyone who will believe it. Do you dare to believe that you are filled with the full, deep and clear knowledge of God’s will in your life! How about His understanding of spiritual things! Or how about being filled with His spiritual wisdom! You must realize and know of a certainty that you are filled with these things if you are born again, if you are God’s child.
You are able to live your life pleasing to God. You are increasing because of His knowledge. You are growing because He dwells in you. It is He Who gives you the ability to walk as you walk here on this earth.
Now, this last verse is a big one. You are strengthened with God’s power, His might. That stretches your mind, doesn’t it? Read it. You are strengthened with God’s mighty power. That’s what you are to pray and request. Is that beyond your capacity to believe? Many times it is so for each one of us. What is the solution to that small capacity? Choose to believe what God’s Word says as being reality in your life, whether it looks like it or not or whether you feel like it or not. It is true! What you need to do is to believe it, in the face of every contradictory circumstance that stares you in the face and defies you to believe God’s Word is true for your life.
Today, I have a challenge for you: DARE TO BELIEVE!
