Page 44 - BULLSEYE PRAYERS

SANCTIFY THEM WITH YOUR TRUTH Acts 20:32 AMP And now I commend you to God \[placing you in His protective, loving care\] and \[I commend you\] to the word of His grace \[the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor\]. His grace is able to build you up and to give you the \[rightful\] inheritance among all those who are sanctified \[that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers\]. This prayer of sanctification of the saints is not your typical ‘bread and butter’ prayer. It is not material in nature like the prayers that many of us are used to offering. It is spiritually inclined. In a sense, it is asking for the flow of ‘spiritual bread’ to be supplied to us to purge and cleanse us from all sins, remembering what the Bible says about man not living by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Captured in the Lord’s Prayer Perhaps it would encourage us further to tow this path if we note the consistency with Jesus in that He actually incorporated this aspect of spiritual bread (His word) in the Lord’s prayer that He taught His disciples in Luke 11. 41.
