Paul wasn’t asking in prayer that the Ephesian believers would receive
their abundant inheritance of spiritual riches, blessings, power, and
authority, but that they would realize it was theirs. As Christians, they
already possessed these things, just as we do. But until they realized it,
what good could it accomplish?
Elisha’s servant got an eyeful. At first, he could only see the enemy,
which likely left him no other response than fear and anxiety.
In Ephesians 1, Paul accentuates just a few of the gifts God has given us.
There are many more, and each one connects specifically with your
spiritual armor and weapons. The first key to understanding how they all
fit into your ability to pin down the enemy is vision. You cannot use them
if you’re not able to fully recognize them, if you’re not aware of their
availability and their importance in successfully waging war against the
enemy.
Victory starts here. It starts today. It starts with a prayer for vision.
So join Paul in asking the Lord to open your eyes more fully so you can
not only detect the enemy’s activity, but can also be fully aware of what
God has given you to disarm and defeat him in your life.
