- TRP #005: The Knowledge of Him
Hey friends, welcome to this week’s issue of The Remnant Post!
If you’re new, this is a weekly resource of The Spark Network, a citywide prayer ministry for Eugene and Lane County, which aims to be both a catalyst and a gift to the entire body of Christ in the city. Together, from different churches across the city, believers are partnering together in prayer for the same things each week. Please, subscribe and join us in praying each week via this email - and share this link with other believers or forward this email and encourage them to join you!
Also, nearly every Wednesday we have an open prayer time from 12-1 pm at the lookout at Skinner Butte. We take a few moments to pray for a move of God in our city, for the unity of the Church, and for anything else He leads us into. We’d love to have you join us. Shoot a quick email to [email protected] if you’d like to join!
This morning I was at a weekly Bible study with a group of men from 3 different churches, who all dig into the word together every Tuesday. The insights and discussions were amazing but one particular moment stood out. One of the men in the group, Levi, shared a prayer that he’d been praying for years. I’ll paraphrase, but he said, “God, reveal to me how you want me to see you, and reveal to me how you want me to see myself”.
The two things that seem to plague the human race the most stem first from our fleeting awareness of the reality of who God is — his holiness, majesty, love, faithfulness, unchanging nature, and so much more.
The other is our fleeting awareness of our being made in His image, bearing His name, and that those who are in Christ, are co-heirs and children of a Good Father.
May we be reminded today in our innermost being of the truth about who God is and who we are in light of that reality.
Prayer Prompt of the Week:
Heavenly Father, thank you for your goodness, your mercy, and your grace. Thank you that you are unchanging, reliable, faithful, and holy. As we consider your character and nature, help us to see you high and lifted up. Seated in majesty. To be reminded that you are fully aware, fully in control, and you’re making all things work together for the good of those who love you. Give us again this week a greater spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you so that we may see you correctly, and not perceive things about you that are false. Remind us first of the way you see us, in Christ, and what that means for this life, but also teach us to understand the unique things you’ve placed in each of us that are intended to display your glory and Kingdom realities to the world around us. Reveal to us how you want us to see you, and reveal to us how you want us to see ourselves in light of you.
We pray also that this would be a prayer that spreads across this city in a deep and powerful way. That believers everywhere would have their minds renewed and shaped about the nature of who you are, God, and a fresh understanding of their place of impact and role in your kingdom, and through that, the Church would be revived and awakened in a new way this week. Awakened in such a way that overflows to those in the city that don’t yet know you. Would you provide a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you, that would rest upon this region and in turn bring a flood of people into your fold.
We ask all of this in Jesus’ mighty name, amen.
