There are two great needs in the churches across America today. We need more intercession for others and more illumination through a great spiritual awakening. Ephesians 1:15-23 seems to chart the way in praying for those around us to experience an enlightenment.In our text today we will hear Paul assure the disciples in Ephesus that he was praying for them the following, “…having the eyes of your hearts enlightened.” Of course, Ephesus wasn’t the only church for which the Apostle prayed. He prayed for the church in Rome, the church in Philippi, the church in Colossae and the church in Thessalonica. These were the prayers recorded in the New Testament. He surely prayed for even more churches in his day.The prayer for enlightenment was not a prayer for financial prosperity or a political priority, it was for spiritual maturity. The focus of his prayer is almost like he was praying that Christians would take a look at the spiritual bank book with available resources for living the Christian life.Let’s pray for believers and followers of Christ in the US to awaken to the following:1. Appreciation for Salvation from God, 1:15-162. Attention to the School of God, 1:173. Anticipation of the Summation by God, 1:184. Appraisal of Our Status with God, 1:185. Awareness of Strength through God, 1:196. Authority of the Son of God, 1:20-23---Growing in Grace Devotions and Inspirations  Hosted by Pastor Victor Morrison  First Baptist Church1700 Milam StreetColumbus, TX, USA 78934http://fbccolumbustx.org/
