During the last few years I have found great fruit in praying the scripture over people and situations. In this season of my life it is becoming a major part of my life. So many times as pastors praying over our congrgations can be so daunting. In scripture you can find a well of help overflowing if you look and drink deeply from it. This section of verses are apart of that they really speak the power of Christ over every situation that any one of us can have. Take the time to read them and start to pray them over those in your life and circle of influence.
9 For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.
