For that wardrobe to clothe both the inner and outer person, we must put on every piece. (Eph 6). Transforming the person to conform to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ."

When you pray say, "Father, we the saints of Holy Tabernacle Church International: Thank you for the grace of God which has been given to us by Christ Jesus, that we are enriched in everything by You in all speech and all knowledge, even as the testimony of Christ is confirmed among us, so that we come short in no gift." We are eagerly waiting in the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also establish us to the end, that we may be blameless in the day of His coming. (I Cor. 1:48)
We pray that You, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, the eyes of our understanding being enlightened, that we may know what is the hope of Your calling, what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power toward us who believe according to the working of Your mighty power which You worked in Christ when You raised Him from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand in the heavenly places far above all principalities and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. (Eph 1:17-18)
For this reason, we bow our knees to You, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that You would grant us, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with might through Your Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith; that we being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints, what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that we may be filled with all your fullness. (Eph 3:14-19)
Father, we pray that our love may abound still more and more in knowledge and discernment, that we may approve the things that are excellent, that may be sincere and without offense until the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ to glory and praise of You. (Phil 1:9-11)
We pray Father that we may be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that we may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of You; strengthened with all might, according to Your glorious power, for all patience and long suffering with joy; giving thanks to You who has qualified us to be partakers of the saints in the light. (Col. 1:9-12)
Father we pray, that the Lord make us increase and abound in love to one another and to all, so that You may establish our hearts blameless in holiness before You, our Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints. We pray this prayer according to Your Word, in Jesus' name; Amen. (I Thes. 3:12-13)
“Now, this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we as, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." (I John 5:14-15)
