Paul's prayers canbe found in Ephesians. The first prayer {Ephesians 1:15-23) is for Revelation. The second prayer, Ephesians 3:14-21 is for Realization.

The discovery of the believer who receives the revelation of the source of their life becomes the turning point in their walk with the Lord. The old song “Without Him I could do nothing; Without Him I’d surely fail. Oh, Without Him I would be drifting Like a ship without a sail, tells it all.

The “tap root” of the believer’s survival is the Tap Root of Faith. This tap root brings to life our relationship with the Lord. The belief system in your heart brings you to the reality of redemption and the relationship that is established by the blood of Jesus Christ.

But what good is a relationship without the bonding of intimacy that is needed for spiritual growth.

It is more than mere relationship, but it is becoming one with Christ. It is revelation becoming reality.

Success is God’s aim and purpose for every believer. Faith is what pleases our Father.

“For without faith it is impossible to please God, for he that comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

Jesus is our example of “faith men.” The fruit of faith is the desired result we are aiming for.

In order to bear fruit, we have to have an “Established Root System.”

As the believer the desired result is what we are aiming for.

Some people never experience the abundant grace and the abundant blessings that are attached to the relationship of grace with God.

Until the revelation of "who you are" can come alive in your spirit, you will remain at the lowest level.

God has the best for you if you can "see" what He has prepared for you.

Isaiah 57:19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.

Every Christian has to know for themselves who Jesus is. Matthew 16:15-20

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the Son of the living God.” Then Jesus answered him, “Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, favored by God] are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood (mortal man) did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades (death) will not overpower it [by preventing the resurrection of the Christ]. I will give you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth [h]will have [already] been loosed in heaven.” Then He gave the disciples strict orders to tell no one that He was the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).

Everything we receive is by Faith.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1

Faith is not just anticipating but expecting the Word of God to be manifested in our life.

Faith is an action word that when it is acted upon the results will follow.

Works is necessary to fulfill the promises of God.

Abraham exercised his faith and his works confirmed he believed.

He believed God and it was accounted unto him for righteousness. Genesis 15:6

Faith is an action word that requires action on the believer’s part.

I. Anchor Number Three – Love

Love Is the Anchor That Supports the Other Three Anchors

You must have it, or your ship will be destroyed.

God’s love will lift you up so you can have the rest of the anchors, and you must put all of your

trust in it. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all

thy mind and with all thy strength; this is the first commandment. Mark 12:30

Without the love of God, you cannot really be saved, because divine love is the first thing you receive when you come to the Lord.

Love brings holiness and righteousness and causes you to triumph. It will keep you secure without letting you sink.

It will even enable you to walk the waters if necessary.

We can be certain that God loves us

We can be certain that Jesus is the son of God

We can be certain that God’s presence will be with us no matter what

We can be certain that God forgives us totally and we are free from sins of the past

We can be certain that God makes us a new creation at the new birth and He equips us to carry out His plan for our lives.

It is our own unbelief that makes us uncertain and mistrustful of God when painful circumstances arise. We get bad news and sometimes we begin to question God and His keeping power. Bad things happen to everyone. No one is immune, but we must begin to see things on a higher level then just right here and right now.

Here are some certainities to consider with great seriousness.

1. The certainty that obedience to God will pay off no matter what happens to us on this earth.

2. The certainty that we cannot bring our possessions, our reputation, our fame or our position into heaven with us.

3. The certainty that everyone on this planet will have a day of reckoning with the Lord.

4. The certainty that God sees everything and even if someone seems to get away with something on earth, God is not going to let them go unpunished. Nothing is covered from the Lord’s eyes.
