Colossians 1:9 – “Since we first heard about you, we’ve kept you always in our prayers that you would receive the perfect knowledge of God’s pleasure over your lives, making you reservoirs of every kind of wisdom and spiritual understanding. “

My prayer for each of you today is that today will be a day of divine release and revelation that leads you into the next level of your journey. I ask that God’s divine power flow through you, altering situations miraculously and bringing peace to troubled hearts.

As I read, prayed, and pondered the Word of God today, I saw a new vision or expanded vision of the Cross. I saw man’s perspective and God’s, and they are diametrically opposite.

In the Book of Joshua, Joshua asked, “How long will you delay in possessing your possession or promise?” This suggests that the timing of our entering our Place of Promise depends on us, but God has already decreed it.

In Colossians 1:5, part of Paul’s prayer was that as their faith and love grew, they would access all the treasures of their inheritance stored up in heaven. It is there waiting, but we have to access and appropriate it. We do that through faith and love.

In Colossians 1:9, he exploded my mind. He prayed that they would “receive the perfect knowledge of God’s pleasure over your lives, making you reservoirs of every kind of wisdom and spiritual understanding.”

Perfect or complete knowledge! Knowledge of what? God’s pleasure for their lives. That revelation would create the capacity for them to become reservoirs of every kind of wisdom and spiritual understanding. What is a reservoir? What is its purpose? What is the extent of its impact? We are God’s reservoirs! Let that sink in. It is who you are and what you are commissioned to be.

Colossians 1:20 – “And by the Blood of His Cross, EVERYTHING in heaven and earth is BROUGHT BACK to Himself – back to its original intent, restored to innocence again!”

Colossians 1:22b – “AND NOW there is NOTHING between you and Father God, FOR He SEES you as holy, flawless, and restored, IF INDEED you continue to advance in faith…”

God sees us through the finished work of the Cross, and we see ourselves through the flaws of flesh and the deception of the devil. Whose report are we going to believe? It will determine our present and future. The past is gone.!

Colossians 2:3 – “For our spiritual wealth is in Him, like hidden treasure waiting to be discovered – heaven’s wisdom and endless Riches of revelation knowledge.” That’s what is awaiting our action. Possess our promise.

Colossians 3:3 – “Your crucifixion with Christ HAS SEVERED the tie to this life, AND NOW your true life is hidden away in God in Christ.”

God sees the Finished Work. We need to see what he sees and press toward that. We do so, knowing that if we stumble, Jesus is interceding for us. As His love envelops us and we become one with Him, we SEE and HEAR in the heavenly realm and walk into freedom. Our desires and motives change. We cast off every weight and sin that besets and hinders us.

I use Colossians 3:16 for my conclusion: “Let the Word of Christ live in you richly, FLOODING you with all wisdom.”

You are a product of the Cross of Jesus. You are completely free from the past. Live now in that revelation, and keep your eye on the prize. Expect what God expects! He sees nothing insurmountable, and neither should we.

Today is a day of revelation and release. Tap into the reservoir and let the river flow! Let the victories begin!
