PASSIONATE PURSUIT...THANK GOD

Colossians 1:11-14
Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
Giving thanks unto the Father which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear son, in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sin:
Paul prays that we might be strengthened in the inner man to be able to endure times such as these while yet still compelling others. Therefore, we also pray that you are strengthened with power of God to obey His will with all patience and longsuffering even as the Lord Jesus imparted to us all.  He has freely given, therefore, we ought to also freely give joyfully and wholeheartedly.
We do not cease from thanking God for his tender mercies and loving kindness, and for how he continues to shape, make and mold us on the potter’s wheel so that we are prepared as partakers of inheritance with the saints in the light. He consistently delivers us to overcome the powers of darkness equipping us also with weapons of warfare that are not carnal but mighty and powerful to the pulling down of strongholds. He quickens us by his spirit to his kingdom that is not observed with the naked eye and empowers us to be redeemed by the blood of the lamb through who we are forgiven all of our sins and transgressions. Having laid up such a hope of everlasting mercy with all wisdom and knowledge of Him, let us rejoice for the privilege of being chosen vessels to partake in such a covenant as this.
For him were all things created, that are in Heaven, that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created, by Him and for Him.
Therefore, do we glorify God for the revelation of our savior, the Son, Jesus Christ who is our lively hope, has given us much assurance of his faithfulness with purified love and comfort.
Remember the simplicity of these words with power when the adversary comes to stiff these seeds planted with the cares of this world. Remember, the hope laid up when the accuser comes to war with the saints and tells you everything you’re not and it will sound so true, but will be a lie. Hold fast to the truth that has been laid up and hid in your heart, that you faint not at the troubles and those things seen with the natural eye. Let us remain steadfast, unshakeable, unmovable, not giving in to the changes of the times, but we look toward a new Heaven and a new earth. As we seek afterHis holiness, let us surrender completely an give our whole selves and not quench th spirit or grieve the spirit. After waiting for Him for so long to come and supp and endow us with his presence, let us not be so hasty to leave his presence. Be sure to receive all that thespirit is willing to dispurse. #seekhim #beready #havefaith #watchandpray #greatexpectation
Till we all come into the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Eph 4:14)
