PRAYING FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD -- Tomorrow:
"For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness." (Colossians 1:9-11, KJV)

" A L L" MIGHT
"Strengthened with ALL might . . . "
Paul does not pray for ordinary strength – strength as men define it. He prays the saints will be strengthened with "ALL might." This is real, not feigned, power. It is sufficient to accomplish what is expected of us in Christ Jesus. It is the "might" that comes from God – ALL of it comes from Him!
"ALL" is a favorite word of the Holy Spirit. It speaks of the plenitude of Divine provisions, with nothing lacking.

In Christ we are separated from all forms of mediocrity! We are brought into the realm "allness" – Divine plenitude. Nothing that is required to please God is withheld from those who live by faith and walk in the Spirit.
This is more than Divine kindness. It is nothing less than the provision of what God Himself requires from us.
PRAYER POINT: Father, in the name of Jesus, enable me to see more fully the richness and the fulness that You have provided for Your children in Your Son.
