Englighten the Eyes of Your Understanding

You feeling God’s love? Executing God’s plan for your life with a future and hope?
Experiencing life in abundance? Peace? Joy? Have you become a beacon for the kingdom?
– If So, Great, carry on!
If not so much….
see if you can tell where you get stuck in the following flow…
and then pray the prayer below to help gain wisdom to move forward on the journey…
Do you really understand what Jesus did for you?
Have you truly repented and shed the old self centered you?
Have you completely submitted to Jesus as Lord of your life?
Have you invited Jesus to come live / form inside you?
Are you beginning to see things from God’s perspective?
Are you noticing when He points out things to do better?
Are you asking Him to help you do them better?
Have you truly shed the self centered loves that drove you?
Can you see changes as Christ forms in you?
Can you see His love being perfected as it flows through you?
Do people see Christ when they see you in action?
Do you give Glory to the Father through the Son as you execute?
Challenge: Print this and pray it out loud at least daily for two weeks and see if it does not change your life:
I pray 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.
Enlighten the eyes of my understanding 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, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church (the group of believers), which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
( Based on Pauls Prayer for believers in Ephesians 1:17-23)
