Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
-
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
-
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
-
in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
-
For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
-
And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
-
which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.
-
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
-
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
-
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
-
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
-
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,
-
speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,
-
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
-
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
-
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
