For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Colossians 1:9)
Paul and his fellow brothers didn’t cease to pray for the saints at Colosse. His prayer and desire was that they would be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
The knowledge of His will
How are you filled with the knowledge of His will? By getting to know the will of God. You will get to know His will through His Word; by reading and studying His Word; the Bible. If you don’t know the Word, then you don’t know His will and therefore you are not filled with the knowledge of His will.
This is something that often happens, that believers don’t know the Word of God anymore. They feed themselves with worldly stuff, instead of seeking God and His righteousness.
Most people spend rather time in front of the television, than spend time in God’s Word, and spend time with Him. They go to church, but that’s it. Instead of getting to know the Lord God of the Word through His Word, they have created an own image of God in their minds, who looks a lot like themselves.
The Word and the Holy Spirit are the two witnesses of God. They are all you need in this world.
Through His Word, and His Holy Spirit (Who lives inside of you) He will reveal to you the things of His Kingdom.
Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being His counselor hath taught Him? With whom took He counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of judgment, and taught Him knowledge, and shewed to Him the way of understanding (Isaiah 40:13-14)
The Holy Spirit will teach and instruct you and reveal to you, all that God has taught Him. So that you will get to know the will of God and the path of judgment and walk in His will on the right path in life
Your destiny
God has a plan for your life. The Holy Spirit knows God’s will and His destiny for your life and He wants to reveal that to you. He wants to show and reveal to you all truths. There is so much more behind the visible world, and it’s important that we walk not according to what we see, but that we walk in faith; according to what the Word says, directed by the Holy Spirit, bringing the Kingdom of God upon this earth.
The Kingdom of God is a spiritual Kingdom and the old man, who belongs to the old generation of Adam, is not able to see this Kingdom.
Therefore it’s important to get born again in the Spirit, so that you will be able to see the Kingdom of God and enter the Kingdom of God. Only when you see and enter the Kingdom of God, you can walk in it.
It is therefore important to yield yourself to the Word of God and the Holy Spirit and get to know the knowledge of what the will of God is.
When you study the Word of God, with the Holy Spirit as your Teacher, you will get to know His will and therefore be able to walk in His will. Through His Word and His Spirit you will grow up into a mature son of God; in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Speaking in tongues
We may not forget to speak in other tongues, because when you speak and pray in tongues the Holy Spirit speaks and prays through your spirit and edifies you. He will direct your path, reveal the future and the things of the Kingdom of God (a.o. Isaiah 28:11, 1 Corinthians 14)
Paul spoke a lot in tongues, and look what amazing revelations he received from God. It is a commandment of Jesus and a powerful ‘tool’ and we cannot abandon this out of our walk in Christ.
When you yield yourself to the Word and the Holy Spirit, and listen and obey Them, then you will be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
