Receiving Paul's Prayer

 

Psalm 24:1

The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; 

the world, and they that dwell therein.

While I was reading this morning,  I came across a treasure I want to share with you.  I must admit that reading it today was like the first time, though I had  read it before in  The Passion Translation,  because I had "boxed it in"  with green ink... and starred the corners!  But today the words seemed to come alive and pierce my heart, and by faith I say, there they will remain producing like fruit of itself.  That's what the Word does when received and kept alive through faith.  So now,  the verse is underlined with red ink, starred and noted with these words which seemed to amplify them even more once I read what I had written:

* First and foremost seek this!

Here's the verse I'm speaking of:

Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life.  Ephesians 3:17  TPT

Since the verse is taken out of context, it would be most beneficial to read the full passage concerning the Apostle Paul's prayer for the Ephesians.  Here's the link for verses 3:14-20.

I trust  the inherent power within His word will produce an abundant harvest of His love in us all, healing our hearts and lifting us out of the pain and sorrow of the past season. 

The Blessing of The LORD on all who will receive it!

2 Corinthians 4:7

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,

 that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us
