a deeper level of healing

Wednesday, March 7, 2012 (6:06 a.m.)

Wonderfully Blessed Father God,

Thank You. For hours the waking thought has been the same. “A deeper level of healing”.

(6:46 a.m.)

And in spending the past forty minutes reading about it on the Internet I am asking You to guide me in Your Word. More specifically, speak to me concerning Paul’s letter to Your believers in Ephesus.

In one version I see a devotional page concerning Ephesians 1:3-23 entitled Resurrection Power. Blessed Father, I have been familiar with this section of Scripture for years. This morning, verses 17-20 are again sparking my heart.

The Contemporary English Version says, “I ask the glorious Father and God of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you His Spirit. The Spirit will make you wise and let you understand what it means to know God. My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and that you will understand the hope that was given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all of God’s people. I want you to know about the great and mighty power that God has for us followers. It is the same wonderful power he used when he raised Christ from death and let Him sit at His right side in heaven.”

The power to raise the dead seems like an incredibly deeper level of healing to me! And I want desperately to experience that kind of healing. Not just in my physical being though. Father God, how I ask You to continue Your deeper level of healing in my heart, mind and soul. You are such an incredibly good God and I am so very grateful for all You are and do.

As I prepare to close this time with You here this morning I ask that I would emulate Paul’s closing words in chapter six, verse ten. “To end my letter I tell you, be strong in the Lord and in His great power.”

Yes Lord. Make Your power my deeper level of healing. I love You so much. Thank You. Amen.
