"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Look at all of the prayers in the New Testament and keep this verse in mind when you read them. These prayers are not just wish lists of the writers; they are all the inspired Words of our Father! If we read these prayers with that understanding of the Truth, just watch the power of God move in our lives! The Word of our Father makes us perfect and the Word allows God to thoroughly furnish us to be used for all good works! Those 14 Words alone in 2 Timothy 3:17 can be preached on for a couple of books or so! The Truth is that Jesus’ sacrifice was so great that it allowed us to become with God, just as Jesus our Lord and Savior, our Head, is One with God! So all that Jesus is, all that He has, all of His love, faith, hope, wisdom, knowledge, and all of His power, we are now one with. We have been given exactly what Jesus has! So when we think of Jesus’ power, this is exactly how we should think of ourselves. Jesus is our Lord, He is our Head, but that in no way stops Him from making us one with Him and giving us all that He is and all that He has. This is why He came, so that we could be one with Him, members of His body, flesh of His flesh, so that the world would believe!
