Jesus

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. This morning, I saw a message from one of the brethren, highlighting this phrase from Ephesians 3v17: “That Christ may dwell in your hearts…” It spoke to Colossians 2v2, another verse I had come across and had come to mind to share.

Primary Text

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,” Colossians 2v2 (NIV)

“This is what I have asked of God for you: that you will be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love, and that you will have the rich experience of knowing Christ with real certainty and clear understanding. For God’s secret plan, now at last made known, is Christ himself.” Colossians 2v2 (NLT)

“[For my concern is] that their hearts may be braced (comforted, cheered, and encouraged) as they are knit together in love, that they may come to have all the abounding wealth and blessings of assured conviction of understanding, and that they may become progressively more intimately acquainted with and may know more definitely and accurately and thoroughly that mystic secret of God, [which is] Christ (the Anointed One).” Colossians 2v2 (AMP)

Even as we meditate on it, I pray that Christ will really dwell in our hearts by faith, that we will come to know the mystery of all Christ really represents, and will truly come to know Him and count everything else but dung in comparison to the excellency of the knowledge of Him in Jesus name, amen.

Prayer

Father, I thank You for Your Word this day. I pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. I pray that we will truly come to know all that Jesus represents, that we will have sweet and intimate fellowship with the Holy Spirit and that when people see us they will be able to attest to the fact that we have a relationship with You. This is our prayer in Jesus name, amen.
