In giving further consideration to Paul's writings from Ephesians 1, we look at his pastoral prayer in verses 15-23. Read them for yourself sometime and see just how fitting they are in acknowledging that we are all eternally empowered to live blessed lives.
This positive passage is imperative to all Christian believers and makes it quite clear that we are all EQUIPPED BY GOD, STRENGTHENED IN JESUS and SUSTAINED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT ~ not only for the present, but for the future hope of our inheritance!
Ephesians 1:17-18 (MSG) ~ "I ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory, to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him ~ endless energy, boundless strength!"
