Prayer For the New Year

The Father of Glory has many things planned for His sons and daughters in this new year (and new age). Much has been prophesied and we are eagerly awaiting the fulfillment of His promises. The prayer that Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Glory, impressed on my heart this morning is Ephesians 1:17-19:

"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the true knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you 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 surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe..."

It's not enough to pray for wisdom and revelation. I believe God is saying to pray specifically for a revelation of His glory and power, which are already deposited within each believer, and which provide for us "everything pertaining to life and godliness" (2 Peter 1:3). The key is to walk in the true knowledge of this inheritance.

On December 21st, I heard the Lord say the word, "Attributes". I knew that He was referring to those qualities listed in 2 Pet.1:4-8. We can become partakers of His glory and power to the degree that we're walking in these divine attributes.

NUGGET OF GOLD: Let us test ourselves to see if we can be found walking in His divine nature. Then, make it the cry of your heart to know, understand, see, and experience more of His glory and power in this new year! Both are already in us, and it is the desire of the Father to manifest both His glory and His power through us.

May this be our best year ever!
