Philippians 3:10-11 (AMPC) [For my
determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become
more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him perceiving and recognizing and
understanding the wonders of His person more strongly and more clearly], and
that I am may in that same way come to know the Power out flowing from His
resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His
sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into his likeness even]
to His death [in the hope] 11 that
if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts
me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].
What the Lord is saying to me:
This is the
glorious call to those who would follow Christ, to fully know Him and the
surpassing power of the resurrection progressively transforming a believer into
the likeness of Christ, putting to death the sins of the flesh, and having the
mind renewed by the transforming power of the Word of God in this there is life
abundant, True freedom, overflowing joy and hope for tomorrow.
My responsive prayer to Him:
Lord Jesus
Christ, help me to unreservedly yield to your spirit! Oh how I desire to know
you more and to experience the continual transforming power of the
Resurrection. Give me the courage and the humility to face the day in full
faith, and trust in you, and your Word. Help me to rise above my doubts and
fears that I may live a full life that glorifies the Father eternal. Not my
will, but yours be done!
