Praying

I think anytime we approach Scripture, and I mean anytime, we should pray a prayer that Paul prayed over the church of Ephesus.  In fact, I think it is critical to having our minds open to the magnitude of embracing the power of the Gospel.

Pray, "Father, would you please give me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation as I approach Your Words.   May you open my eyes and heart to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Your Son Jesus that surpasses knowledge.  In the Name of Jesus."

Then, when we taste and see that the Lord is good, we will be better resourced to share that truth with others.  Then I pray the same pray over who I am about to share the Word with so that it is not just information, but that there would be a transformation that could happen because the Gospel is understood not from a knowledge point of view, but from the Spirit of wisdom and revelation.  For the love of God in the Name of Jesus.

Let's do it!
