Blessings Men & Women of God,

After I speak the names of a significant number of those serving by the gifts of Christ Jesus in the fivefold ministry – Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers (see Ephesians 4:1-13), I pray the WORD:

Abba Father, God of my Lord and Savior – Jesus the Christ, (to) the Father of glory, grant these and me a spirit of wisdom and revelation into the deep and intimate knowledge of You; by having the eyes of our hearts flooded with light so that we may know the hope to which You have called us, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints – Your set apart ones; and what is the immeasurable, unlimited and surpassing greatness of Your power in and for all of us who believe, as demonstrated in,  the working of Your mighty strength; which You exerted in Christ Jesus when You raised Him from the dead and seated Him at Your own right hand in the heavenly realm; far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named, above every title that can be conferred, not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come; and You put all things under the feet of Jesus our Lord and appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church; which is His body, the fullness of which fills all in all.

Abba Father, I pray, in Jesus’ Name, that out of all of Your glorious riches, You may strengthen these and me with power by Your Spirit in our inner beings so that Christ Jesus lives in our hearts by faith; and I pray that being rooted and established in love; we may be able to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus; and to know this love which surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled with all the fullness of You.

That our love may abound more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight, that our love may display itself in greater depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment; that we may discern what is vital and of real value, so that we may be sincere and without offense until the day of Christ Jesus’ return, neither stumbling nor causing others to stumble; and that as branches on the Vine Who is JESUS, we bear much fruit, to the honor, praise and glory of You with thanksgiving, in Jesus’ Name.

Now, unto You Father, Who is able to do immeasurably above all we can ask or imagine by Your power at work in each of us, to You be glory in the Church Who is Christ Jesus, now and forevermore. Amen. (Ephesians 1:17-23 & 3:16-19; Philippians 1:9-11; Ephesians 3:20-21 personalized from AMP & NIV).

Peace . . . Harriet
