03/13/22 THAT YE MAY

"THAT YE MAY," is a phrase found in the books of Moses, books of History, books of Poetry, books of Major and Minor Prophets in Old Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, James and Peter in the New Testament. I want to write an article on this sometime in the future. However, this morning I was moved by the following passages. I hope you read and appropriate these truths to your life.

Paul's Prayer for the Church at Ephesus (and God's will for us).

Double ** designates the beginning of this thought, and single * marks the specifics of this prayer.

I also put breaks to highlight expanding layers of truth.

Ephesians 1:15-23

(15) Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

(16) Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

(17) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, **may give unto you *the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

(18) *The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; *that ye may know *what is the hope of his calling, and *what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

(19) And *what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

(20) Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

(21) Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

(22) And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

(23) Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
