2 Thessalonians 3:1 – 5; 16 KJV
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil. 4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that you both do and will do the things which we command you. 5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
1 Now, friends, we ask you to pray for us. Pray that, because of us, more and more people will hear the Lord’s message with pleasure soon. Pray that they will believe his message. So then they will thank God for it. That is what happened among you. 2 Pray also that God will not let very bad people cause bad trouble for us. Pray like that, because not everyone believes the message about our Lord. 3 But the Lord always does what he has promised. So, he will help you, so that you continue to believe him strongly. And he will keep you safe from Satan. 4 Also the Lord makes us sure about you. We told you things that you must do. You are doing those things. And you will continue to do those things. We are sure about that. 5 We pray that the Lord will help you to know him more and more. So then you will continue to understand more about how much God loves you. And he will cause you to be patient and strong, like Christ. 16 The Lord causes us to be without trouble in our minds. And I pray that the Lord himself will do that for you at all times and in every way. I pray that the Lord will be with all of you.

May the Master take you by the hand and lead you along the path of God’s love and Christ’s endurance. 16 May the Master of Peace himself give you the gift of getting along with each other at all times, in all ways. May the Master be truly among you!

The Lord’s tangible presence be with you all.

4 I am always thanking my God for you because he has given you such free and open access to his grace through your union with Jesus, the Messiah. 5 In him you have been made extravagantly rich in every way. You have been endowed with a wealth of inspired utterance and the riches that come from your intimate knowledge of him. 6 For the reality of the truth of Christ is seen among you and strengthened through your experience of him. 7 So now you aren’t lacking any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the unveiling of the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. 8 He will keep you steady and strong to the very end, making your character mature so that you will be found innocent on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:4 – 9 AMP
I thank my God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, so that in everything you were [exceedingly] enriched in Him, in all speech [empowered by the spiritual gifts] and in all knowledge [with insight into the faith]. In this way our testimony about Christ was confirmed and established in you, so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift [which comes from the Holy Spirit], as you eagerly wait [with confident trust] for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ [when He returns]. And He will also confirm you to the end [keeping you strong and free of any accusation, so that you will be] blameless and beyond reproach in the day [of the return] of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful [He is reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
4 I very often thank God for you because he has acted toward you kindly, acting in ways that you do not deserve. He has done this because of your having a close relationship with/being united to Christ Jesus. 5 That is, God has helped you spiritually very much because of your having a close relationship with/being united to Christ. Specifically, God has very much enabled you to speak messages that his Spirit revealed to you, and he has very much enabled you to know many things that his Spirit revealed to you. 6 In that way, he confirmed to you that what we proclaimed about Christ is true. 7 As a result, while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to return, within your group you truly have every ability that God’s Spirit gives to believers. 8 God will also cause you to steadfastly trust Christ to the very end of your lives. The result will be that God will not consider you guilty of any sin when our Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth. 9 You can depend on God to do that. He is the one who chose you to become intimately associated with his Son, Jesus Christ, who is our Lord.
Pray The Word Dear Heavenly Father I thank You for Your grace which You have given me in Christ Jesus. Thank You Father, that by this grace I am enriched by You in all things, in all wisdom, revelation knowledge and understanding with utterance of Your Word, and also in the knowledge and understanding of all things. By this I do not come behind in spiritual ability and grace, as patiently wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is confirming me unto the end that I may be blameless in the day of His appearing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.
Speak The Word The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ which enriches me in all things is at work in me because of my union with Him. I’m enriched in revelation of the Word of God, in utterance and knowledge and understanding of all things. The gifts, callings and supernatural abilities of God are at work in and through me as He confirms me unto the end blameless until the day of the Lord Jesus’s appearing.

Ephesians 3:14 – 19 KJV
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which surpasses knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fulness of God.

16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Ephesians 1:15 – 23 MSG
That’s why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and your outpouring of love to all the followers of Jesus, I couldn’t stop thanking God for you—every time I prayed, I’d think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength! All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.
