The Prayer Mantle
[10] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a
good understanding have all they that do his
commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
SCRIPTURE IN FOCUS Ephesians 3:14 -17 NKJV
[14] For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
[15] from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is
named,
[16] that He would grant you, according to the riches of
His glory, to be strengthened with might through His
Spirit in the inner man,
[17] that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
that you, being rooted and grounded in love.
SCRIPTURE EXPOSITION
Apostle Paul prayed for the Church in Ephesus that their
inner man will be strengthened with might by the Power of
the Holy Spirit. When your inner man which is your spirit is
strengthened, you will be led by the Holy Spirit and all the
desires of your flesh will be destroyed. You will soar above
issues and circumstances in life and you will walk over
situation that creeps into you to challenge the power of
God in you. You will live to please and bring pleasure to
God. That is the purpose why you were created.
Galatians 5:16-17 says:
[16] I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill
the lust of the flesh.
[17] For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit
against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another,
so that you do not do the things that you wish.
