Having God's Vision

Let’s continue our study in the book of Ephesians with verses 17-23 in the first chapter in both the King James Version and the Amplified Bible. Confess these words with me and speak them every day until you know that you know that you know what Jesus Christ has purchased for you. Are you ready? Let’s personalize God’s Word as we speak it.

For I always pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give or grant to me the spirit of wisdom and revelation, of insight into mysteries and secrets in the deep and intimate knowledge of Him,

By having the eyes of my understanding, the eyes of my heart enlightened, flooded with light,
Why?
So that I can know and understand the hope to which God has called me, the hope of His calling,
So that I can know and understand the riches of His glorious inheritance, the riches of the glory of His inheritance in me as one of His saints, His set-apart ones.
So that I can know and understand the exceeding greatness (the immeasurable, unlimited, surpassing greatness) of His power to us-ward who believe, in us and for us who believe.

This power was demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, of His mighty power which He exerted, wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places.
(Ephesians 2:6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit together [giving us joint seating with Him] in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.)

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him to be the Head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself].
