(Ephesians 1:15) “Therefore I also, after I heard of ‘YOUR FAITH’ in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints“…16… “I do not cease to give thanks for you making mention of you in my prayers: …17…that the God of our Lord Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.
Paul was greatly encouraged to hear of the Faith and Love for all the Believers at Ephesus. That’s true fruitfulness.
Everything that’s done for God must be motivated by our love for Him, and love for one another.

(John 13:34-35) “A new commandment I give unto you that you love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another…35…by this shall all know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another”.
There’s no room for Hate in our lives. The only things we are to hate is sin, evil and wickedness in every form.
If there’s people you hate, and you’re a Christian recognize it immediately. And work on that hate. Get it out of your life as quickly as you can.
It will not only destroy your Christian testimony it will destroy you, and pull you down to hell where all like elements are drawn.
Remember, Jesus said while teaching His disciples to pray, “But if you ‘REFUSE’ to forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins” (Matthew 6:15).
Surely we all know that no sin can enter heaven. If we refuse to forgive, God will not forgive our sins, and we know that no soul can enter heaven un-forgiven.
So, for your own sake, forgive everyone no matter how badly they’ve offended you.

Just as Paul was thrilled over the Ephesians faith and love for all saints, this also encouraged him to pray this following ‘ASTOUNDING PRAYER FOR THEM’
Paul is telling us who he’s praying to. “The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ‘THE FATHER OF GLORY’.
He is exalting the God as the Father of our Lord, Jesus, Christ, our Father, and the Lord of ‘GLORY’.
Our God sits on the throne in heaven in resplendent glory, so great no one can look upon His face.
There’s a rainbow about the throne most glorious to behold. That rainbow literally radiates eternally out from His being.
An actual rainbow with unending colors. Colors, and shades of unbelievably beautiful hues.
They can be seen visibly in this heavenly realm. They are colors that reflect in some unknown way of His inner beauty, character, love, wisdom, knowledge, kindness, mercy and grace.
Some day, we will behold this and just gaze in awe How holy, and pure, and beautiful Our Father God, Creator, and Savior really is.
Paul prays to God to give the Ephesians (and we believers today) the spirit of ‘WISDOM AND REVELATION’ in the ‘knowledge of Him”.
I believe this ‘giving to us’ the spirit of wisdom and revelation rises to a profound level, way beyond our ability to understand it.

Yet, as we begin to grasp it’s truth, and it’s height, and depth, and width we will be astounded and filled with joy to realize such love and grace he’s extending to His own.
(Proverbs 4:6-7) “Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you, love her and she shall watch over you…7…The beginning of Wisdom is this. GET WISDOM. Though it cost all you have, get understanding”.
God gives us great amounts of wisdom by reading and meditating on the Word of God.

He gives us wisdom when we put into practice and action what the Word teaches us about Wisdom.
But, beyond even that, there is a supernatural element to this wisdom. Because through impartation supernaturally He gives wisdom.
Now, Revelation can only come through the the breath of heaven. It can only come through and by the Spirit of the Living God.
The closer we get to God, the more we really, really get to know Him.

If you married your husband or wife, and all you ever knew about them was through letters, and you never saw them again, how well do you really know them. You might have learned some things about them, but you can never really get to know them.
You would never get to feel their loving touch, nor could they. You would never get to see their smile of approval. You would never get to even kiss your spouse. You could never have any biological children. You could never experience their help, nor could you experience their encouragement. You could never know the joy of building a home together, nor ever go on a vacation together.

We need to draw as close to God as possible, and if we love Him enough and seek Him enough to actually be caught up in the spirit and see his (Jesus’) glorious face, see His smile, experience His love like never before, feel His touch, sense the power of His anointing that is at full power in heaven which cannot be experienced like that on earth. PRAISE GOD WE WILL CONTINUE THESE BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS NEXT TIME.
