FRESH EYES

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order

that you may know the hope [guilt-innocence lens] to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance [shame-honour lens] in his holy people,

19 and his incomparably great power [fear-power lens] for us who

believe.

Ephesians 1:18-19 (NIV)

Ephesians

1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of

you Gentiles - 2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.

4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my

insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. 7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.

Ephesians 3:1-21 (NIV)

8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this

grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches

• f Christ, 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this

mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11 according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. 12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and

• confidence. 13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because
• f my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

Ephesians 3:1-21 (NIV)

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every

family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that

you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask

• r imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him

be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Ephesians 2:1-2 (NIV)

1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in

which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

Colossians 2:13-15 (NIV)

Easter - According to Fear & Power

13 When you were dead in your sins

and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.

15 And having disarmed the powers

and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

Ephesians 3:18-23 (NIV)

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order

that you may know … 19 … his incomparably great power for us who

• believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he

exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church.

A Power Prayer II

Existence (today) - According to Fear & Power

I declare today, that I have… “No guilt in life, no fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me; From life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny. No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His hand: Till He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I'll stand.”
