Today's scripture from my book Today I Pray by Stonecroft ministries is Colossians 1:13. I am also going to add verses 12, 14, and 20-22.
"...giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins...and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in you mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight"
Father, I pray that You will deliver _________ from the kingdom of darkness and transfer ____________ into the kingdom of the Son You love, Jesus Christ.
What does it look like to be delivered by what Jesus did on the cross based off of these verse?
- We are partakers of inheritance of the saints
- We are delivered from the power of the darkness
- We are transferred into the kingdom
- We are redeemed and forgiven of our sins
- We have peace
- We are reconciled to be holy and blameless
Why wouldn't we not want to pray for the special people in our lives? Jesus has so much to offer. It is also a good reminder for us who has been delivered too.
