I pray that the great God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ may give you the wisdom of His Spirit. Then you will be able to understand the secrets about Him as you know Him better. I pray that your hearts will be able to understand. I pray that you will know about the hope given by God’s call. I pray that you will see how great the things are that He has promised to those who belong to Him. I pray that you will know how great His power is for those who have put their trust in Him.

KNOW GOD
[I pray]… you will be able to understand the secrets about Him as you know Him better EPHESIANS 1.17-18

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will go into the holy nation of heaven. The one who does the things My Father in heaven wants him to do will go into the holy nation of heaven. Many people will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not preach in Your Name? Did we not put out demons in Your Name? Did we not do many powerful works in Your Name?’ Then I will say to them in plain words, ‘I never knew you. Go away from Me, you who do wrong!’ MATTHEW 7.21-23

The wisdom of the ancient Hebrews held a profound perspective on the concept of "knowing" that transcended mere intellectual understanding. It encompassed a rich sense of experiential knowledge—an intimate, personal connection.

Our hope for you in your spiritual journey is not limited to acquiring a deeper understanding of God within the confines of your mind. Rather, it is our deepest desire that you encounter God in a profound and personal way, that you truly KNOW Him on a level that touches your heart and soul.

Discover the transformative power of experiential knowledge with God, where your faith is not just about what you know, but about the profound and life-changing experience of knowing Him intimately.

KNOW HIS HOPE
[I pray]… that you will know about the hope given by God’s call. EPHESIANS 1.17-18

Let us thank the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was through His loving-kindness that we were born again to a new life and have a hope that never dies. This hope is ours because Jesus was raised from the dead. 1 PETER 1.3

A true follower of Jesus embodies a profound belief—one that steadfastly rejects the notion that evil, suffering, and pain have the final say in our lives. Instead, they recognize that the resurrection of Jesus Christ carries profound significance for the future.

This future isn't limited to just one individual but extends to all of us, the entire universe, and humanity as a whole. It's a future that revolves around a powerful and transformative concept: hope, the hope of the resurrection.

At its core, this hope signifies a monumental shift, a paradigm-altering revelation. It reminds us that, through Christ's resurrection, the trajectory of our lives is forever changed. It serves as a beacon of light in the face of darkness, reminding us that there's a brighter future ahead, one filled with promise, purpose, and enduring hope.

KNOW HIS PURPOSE
[I pray]… that you will see how great the things are that He has promised to those who belong to Him. EPHESIANS 1.17-18

We all have different gifts that God has given to us by His loving-favor. We are to use them. ROMANS 12.6
