Colossians Chapters 1-3

Father, I come this morning asking that we may be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. I pray that we may have a walk worthy of You, fully pleasing You and being fruitful in every good work increasing in the knowledge of You.

May we be strengthened with all might, according to Your glorious power for all patience and longsuffering with joy. We give thanks to You, Father for You have qualified us to be partakers of Your inheritance through Jesus Christ. You delivered us form the powers of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of Your Son and His love in whom we have redemption of sins.

We thank You Father, that Jesus through His shed blood at Calvary and through His death has made us blameless and irreproachable  in Your sight and we may now enter into Your Throne room without fear of death! Hallelujah! We give You praise and glory in this place today!

Thank You that Christ is in us, the hope of all glory, its Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom that they may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

Father, encourage this class of extraordinary women, knit us together in love and give them full assurance of understanding and knowledge of Your Word and Your will for their lives. May we be rooted and built us in Christ Jesus and established in the faith, as Your Word has taught us and may we abound in it with thanksgiving for in Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and we are then complete in Him, who is our head. We thank You that we are buried with Him through faith in the working of God the Father who raised Him from the dead. We thank You that we have been made alive together with Him, having forgiving our trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us –He took them and nailed them to the Cross.

May this class of extraordinary women set their minds on things above and not on things of the earth for we died and our life is hidden with Christ in You. May we continue to put off the old man and put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to Christ Jesus who created us.

I pray that we put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering bearing with one another and forgiving one another even as Your Son forgave us.

May we put on love, which is the bond of perfection and may we let Your peace rule in our hearts –may the words of Christ dwell us richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in our hearts to our Lord.

I pray O God, that You would open to us the door for the words to speak the mysteries of Christ Jesus, and may we walk in wisdom toward those who are outside redeeming time –being a witness of Your glory and grace –may our speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt so we may know how we ought to answer any question about the gospel.

May Your grace go with us today and everyday in Jesus name I pray.
