And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge
and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be
pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness
that comes through Jesus Christ- to the glory and praise of God.
(Philippians 1.9-11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
When you read this you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ.
This mystery was never disclosed to human beings in past generations as it
has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Holy Spirit.
It is this: that the Gentiles are now to be fellow heirs, members of the same
body and joint partakers in the same divine promise in Christ through the
glad tidings (BEST NEWS EVER).
(Ephesians 3.4-6).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord
with all your heart and mind and do not rely on
your own insight or understanding.
In all your ways know, recognize and acknowledge
Him, and He will direct and make straight your paths.
(Proverbs 3.5&6).
HALLELUJAH! WE PRAISE YOU AND THANK YOU
LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
For this reason (because I preached
that you are thus built up together),
I, Paul, (am) the prisoner of Jesus
the Christ for the sake and on behalf
of you Gentiles-
Assuming that you have heard of the
stewardship of God’s grace (His
unmerited favor) that was entrusted
to me (to dispense to you) for your
benefit,
And that the mystery was revealed to
me as I briefly wrote to you.
When you read this you can understand
my insight into the mystery of Christ.
This mystery was never disclosed to
humans in the past as it has now been
revealed to His holy apostles and
prophets by the Holy Spirit.
It is this: that the Gentiles are now
to be fellow heirs (with the Jews),
members of the same body and
joint partakers (sharing) in the
divine promise in Christ through
their acceptance of the Gospel.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!
For I always pray to the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of glory, that He may
grant you the spirit of wisdom
revelation ( of insight into
mysteries and secrets) in the
( deep and intimate) knowledge
of Him,
By having the eyes of your
heart flooded with light, so that
you can know and understand the
hope to which He has called you,
and how rich is His glorious
inheritance in the saints.
( Ephesians 1.17 and 18).
PPOINTS FOR MEDITATION
AND PRAISE
1) The Holy Spirit provides you the
power to know the Father better.
This knowledge is intimate, deep
and experiential. This is first hand
knowledge, unlike other types of
learning about facts and concepts.
This is knowledge which is your own,
primary knowledge.
2) This primary or first hand knowledge
is also known as PROPER KNOWLEDGE.
3) One way to characterize this type of
knowledge is to realize that this knowledge
is now yours. It is your own. You own this
knowledge and it is part of you and who
you are; your property, so to speak.
3) We have this PROPER KNOWLEDGE,
deep and intimate relation and revelation
of God the Father through the Holy Spirit.
4) This is how the eyes of your heart
are flooded with light, because He is
pure and total light.
5) Thereby you get to know the hope
of His calling, the great wealth of the
glory of His heritage in the saints.
HALLELUJAH! AMEN!
