16 I do not cease...making mention of you in my prayers: 17 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, 18 the eyes of your understanding (heart) being enlightened; that you may know (experience) what is the hope of (confidence in) His calling, what are the riches (wealth) of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe…

UNDERSTANDING THIS PRAYER
This is a very important prayer in Scripture. It focuses on God imparting the spirit of glory to us. This is Paul’s “road map for discipleship” speaking to what our heart needs to strengthened and motivated. We pray this for our own heart as well as for others, both believers and unbelievers (family, friends, ministries, cities, nations, government leaders and especially our enemies).

OUR CORPORATE CALLING (IN TIME AND ETERNITY)

We will stand before God as a corporate people on several levels (ministries, cities, nations, generation). The Spirit joins people together in a ministry mandate (same vision and values). This touches our longing to belong to something bigger than ourselves. Our biggest calling is the one that we have together in a region, nation or generation. The Western culture values the individual far more than the corporate group they are in (some of Eastern culture is opposite).

EXPERIENCING GOD’S POWER AND RIGHTLY PERCEIVING HOW IT OPERATES

We need revelation to see how God has wisely chosen to release power in His Kingdom. We must consider the release of God’s power internally, externally, temporally and eternally.

We need our eyes opened to the revelation of our authority in Christ now to experience God's power in our present life internally (righteousness) as we walk in power over sin (Rom. 6) and externally (circumstances) as we walk free from Satan’s dominion over our lives (Eph. 2:6). As walk in greater freedom from Satan’s attack, we will receive more blessing in circumstances (favor, finances, etc.). We use these blessings to do God’s will (not only to gain more comfort).
