As I was search around the other day for something, I came across this passage that I had written down in the past. The passage seems relevant for the time ahead.
Paul and Timothy did not cease praying for the brethren that was in Colosse. Their prayer was a request for the brethren in Colosse, here is the part we will look at in this study:
Colossians 1:9-11 Therefore we also, from the day on which we hear {of the evangel}, do not cease praying for you and requesting that you may be filled full with the realization of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, you to walk worthily of the Lord for all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the realization of God;" being endued with all power, in accord with the might of His glory, for all endurance and patience with joy;" {CLV}
Part of the prayer was that the brethren would be filled full with the realization of God’s will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. At this time many of the brethren do not fully understand the will of God in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Of course we, the brethren who understand His will to have all mankind saved, do understand part of His will, but not all of it. For to fully understand in all wisdom and spiritual understand is to fully understand the plan of God. Many do not understand the plan, and they have it incorrect. They have a coming millennium, when this is not part of the plan at all. Some have the coming marriage between Christ and His bride, with the bride only being the brethren who are from Israel, when in actually fact it is all brethren that will spiritual have a greater union with Christ.
Some also do not realize the extended of God’s will to have all saved, not just all mankind, but all that is in need of salvation, that is all animals and all evil spirit beings as well.
I having be praying for sometime that the brethren would learn the true of those things they believe incorrectly. Now is the time to pray that all the brethren be filled full with the realization of God’s will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. That they all fully know and fully realise the will of God, and the extent of His Love.
I did have a revelation, that “All would be revealed,” and I understand that when Christ returns, all the brethren will fully understand the plan and will of God. There will be brethren who do not know. However I do believe that this was a revelation that “All would be revealed” before Christ returns, to some, or all of the brethren at a certain time. That is all the faithful at that certain time, with new brethren after that time missing out, but learning from the other brethren. Of course those brethren who have died would also miss out, but find out when they are resurrected. However I do not know when this will be, but I think it will be soon.
Of course we the brethren should “walk worthily of the Lord” and should be “bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the realization of God.” This is also an important part that we should be praying at this time.
We should also be praying that the brethren are being endued with all power, in accord with the might of His glory, for all endurance and patience with joy. For some reason it is hard to have patience, and to have patience with joy, seems harder still.
At this time we should all be praying something similar to the above, for all the brethren, the saints. That all the brethren are “filled full with the realization of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, you to walk worthily of the Lord for all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the realization of God;" being endued with all power, in accord with the might of His glory, for all endurance and patience with joy;"
Starting in Colossians 1:12, they give thanks to the Father for the things He has done, as we the brethren all should. I will leave you to study the rest of Colossians 1.
