“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;”
Colossians 1:9 KJV
The Lord Jesus Christ had told His disciples that men ought always to pray and to faint not. In fact the disciples had seen the Lord Jesus do many miracles yet they asked to be taught to pray. Paul who was given a revelation of prayer said that he prayed always with all supplication, he was instant in prayer, he prayed ceaselessly. Here he prayed that we would receive the perfect knowledge of God’s pleasure over our lives, making us reservoirs of every kind of wisdom and spiritual understanding. All disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ know the necessity of prayer, He being our perfect example. We run to our Father in prayer, in our closet, in partnership with others, individually, corporately, walking, working, at all times! Now we are brothers and sisters in God’s family because of the Blood of Jesus, and He welcomes us to come into the holiest of holies in the heavenly realm—boldly and without hesitation. For He has dedicated a new, life-giving Way for us to approach God. For just as the veil was torn in two, Jesus’ body was torn open to give us free and fresh access to him! Let’s be bold in our prayers, asking, seeking, knocking, till we get our answers, just as He promised. Amen!
