THE SAINTS, and what is the exceeding GREATNESS OF H1S POWER TOWARD US,” (Eph.

supernatural strength in the heart unto experiencing God's emotions. “...That He would
grant you, according to the riches of His glory, TO BE STRENGTHENED WITH MIGHT

RIGHTEOUSNESS which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God,”

OF THE LORD, fully pleasing Him, BEING FRUITFUL in every good work and

SHORT IN NO GIFT, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who will also confirm you to the end, THAT YOU MAY BE BLAMELESS in the day of
our Lord Jesus Christ,” (I Cor. 1:4-8) 9.

pray always for you THAT 0UR GOD WOULD COUNT YOU WORTHY OF THIS CALLING, AND
FULFILL ALL THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS GOODNESS AND THE WORK OF FAITH WITH POWER,

increase by the release of Holy Spirit power. “Finally, brethren,
pray for us, THAT THE WORD OF THE LORD MAY RUN SWIFTLY AND BE GLORIFIED, just as
it is with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men
for not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and
guard you from the evil one. And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you,
both that you do and will do the things we command you. NOW MAY THE LORD DIRECT
YOUR HEARTS INTO THE LOVE OF GOD AND INTO THE PATIENCE OF CHRIST,” (2 Thes.
3:1-5) 12.
Prayer for impartation of Holy
Spirit boldness through the release of signs and wonders. “...They raised their
voice to God with one accord and said: "Lord, You are God, who made heaven
and earth and the sea... The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers
were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ. ' "For
truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius
Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together
"to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.
"Now, Lord, look on their threats and GRANT TO YOUR SERVANTS THAT WITH ALL
BOLDNESS THEY MAY SPEAK YOUR WORD, "BY STRETCHING OUT YOUR HAND TO HEAL,
AND THAT SIGNS AND WONDERS MAY BE DONE through the name of Your holy Servant
Jesus. " And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled
together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they
spoke the word of God with boldness.” (Acts 4:24-31)
