A Powerful Prayer

(Colossians 1:9-14)


This is a powerful prayer you should pray for the people in your life. Be prepared for God to work these things in your life when you do! (Heard on Turning Point today)

Pray that you/they will :

1.) Be filled with the knowledge of God's will, spiritual wisdom and understanding. (vs 9)


2.) Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord Jesus Christ. (vs 10)

*Examine your life against the life of Christ. How are you measuring up?


3.) Obey and be fully pleasing to Him in all things (vs 10)

*The desire of our hearts should be to obey Him @ all times.

*Is the bottom line in your life: "What does God want?"


4.) Bear fruit in every good work. (vs 10)

*Service, activity, involvement

*Has given your life made an eternal impact in anyone's life?


5.) Increase in the knowledge of God. (vs 10)

*The knowledge of God is knowing who He is and how He operates in your life.

*The more you know god's ways the more valuable you are to family, friends, the church and God's eternal plans.


6.) Be strengthened with all power according to His glorious might. (vs 11)

*God gives you enough power to fulfill what He requires of you. He has given you ALL you need for this lifetime.

* This is strength only in God's power not man's.

*Walking in the Lord's energy and strength

7.) Have a life that is a joyous expression of thanksgiving for the work of Grace through Jesus. (vs 11)

*We are redeemed and forgiven and that should evoke a spirit of thanksgiving



Remember when you pray that:



We are privileged to talk to the Creator God of the Universe.


You are loved and listened to at all times by Him.


He desire only the best for you.


He wants to meet with you every day.


He wants to hear and answer your prayers.


He will answer your prayers.


He adores you.
