The Vortex
The Vortex
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. Ephesians 1:17 NIV ‘84
All prayer is moving toward the ultimate vortex of the manifest presence of Christ—we want to know Christ better and better and better.
The Apostle Paul hit the bull’s eye when he explained to one of his favorite local churches, the church in the city of Ephesus, why he kept praying for them so passionately. It was really quite simple—he wanted them to know Christ better.
Prayer is not about getting more stuff from God; it’s about knowing God better. For this reason, we pray.
Father God, I open my hands and my heart now to receive Your Holy Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that I can know You better. Pour out Your Holy Spirit on my family so they can also know you better.
