Thought for the day

Prayer

Sometimes I think we, as children of  our Father God, forget how much power we have to make a difference. I know I forget sometimes how prayer changes things.Paul writes:-

“I pray also  that the eyes of your heart may  be enlightened that you may know - - - -  His incomparable great power  for us  who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength which He exerted in  Christ when He raised  Him  from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms.”
Ephesians 1. 18-20.

Jesus is seated at the right hand of God and everything in the universe is held together by Him.

“He is before all things and in Him all things hold together. And He  is the head  of the body, the church, He is the beginning and the first born from the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy.”
Col. 17 & 18.

We are seated with  Christ in the heavenly  realms, in the place of power.

“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in  Christ Jesus.”                                                                                                 Ephesians 2.  6.

Let’s be “so heavenly minded that we are of great earthly use” Let’s pray large prayers , together or on our own, with real faith and expectation. There is a spiritual battle going on and we can make a difference.
