We Shall Never Stop Praying

"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." Col 1:9-14 NIV

Paul's letter to the Colossians includes a reminder that the people of Colossia are being lifted up in prayer that they might share in the inheritance of God's holy people in the kingdom of light; in the kingdom of God. 

That is our mission. It is our hope that all people should come to know our Lord, Jesus the Christ, and live in that Kingdom even now. By his blood, we have been rescued from the dominion of darkness so let us live in the Kingdom of the Son, even now. For those who know him, we are called to be witnesses to those who know him not. We are called to pray for all who live in the darkness so that they too might live in his marvelous Kingdom of light.

Let us never stop praying for all who live in darkness that they might enter into the marvelous Kingdom of light through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God's Peace - Pr. J
