Filled with the Holy Spirit
"The spirit of wisdom and revelation..."
Text: Ephesians 1:17
A DEEPLY MEANINGFUL PRAYER
The Apostle Paul was a man of prayer. His prayers reflect great depth of thought and understanding. There were two prayers offered by the Apostle Paul in his epistle to the Ephesians. The first prayer made reference to the Holy Spirit.
“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus
and your love for all the saints,
do not cease to give thanks for you,
making mention of you in my prayers:
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened;
that you may know what is the hope of His calling,
what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.”
Ephesians 1:15-18
1. Intercessory prayer
This is typical of the ministry of the Apostle Paul. He was given to intercession for the churches he founded and ministered to.
