Let's go, Lord, in prayer for
Brother Newell's daughter one more time, if we could. Gracious
Heavenly Father, we come before Thy throne with thanksgiving. We praise You for Your mercy
towards us. We lift up Brother Newell's daughter,
Kimmy, Lord, and we pray that You would be with her and give
her peace and take away any anxiousness which she has, we pray. Be with
Sister Pat also, too. We pray You'd be with the doctors.
Give them wisdom in how to direct or what direction they should
go in. And if they have to operate, we pray You'd guide their hands
and direct their hands. And be with Kimmy, though, we
pray, and give her peace and grace and strength, we pray in
Jesus' name, Amen. Well, tonight we'll continue
our study in Colossians. It's been a joy to go through
this book. We'll learn so much just going
verse by verse. It's amazing because as you go
verse by verse, Sometimes if we go verse by verse
and portion by portion, there's so much there. There's so much
there. And you realize that you could
do this with every single book of the Bible and every verse
of the Bible. And it's a good way to preach because you look
at contextually too also. You look at what the Scripture
tells you. And really, that's what we want
as believers. We want to know what the Scripture
says. We want to know what the Scripture
says. Colossians 1, verse 9 is where
we'll be tonight. The name of the message is, that ye might be filled. That
ye might be filled. Colossians 1, verse 9. For this cause we also, since
the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you. and desire that
ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding. Last week we looked at verse
8, which was, "...who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit." And now here we are that Paul
is praying for the Colossians the brethren at Colossus, and
he prays that they would be filled with the knowledge of his will,
of God's will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Paul is laying the groundwork. In the verses preceding, he's
laying the groundwork for correcting the error that had crept in at
the church at Colossus. And it hadn't just crept in here.
It was starting to, like tentacles, form out and go into different
churches. False teachers had come in and
were teaching and probably whispering to the saints at class that Paul's
teaching was good. It was good, but, whenever someone says but
to you, when they say, well, you're saved
by the grace of God in Christ plus or but, no, I'm saved in
Christ, period, with nothing added. So here they come in saying
Paul's teaching was good, but that they had something that
would have the saints reach a higher plateau. if they embrace what these false
teachers were promoting. And that's what Gnosticism is
too. It promotes a secret understanding. That there's secret things that
the holder has that he can bestow or teach to other people. These Gnostic teachers and teaching,
they believe that the creator was a lower being. and not a
supreme being. And we'll see Paul deal with
that too in the text down the road. He just hammers that nail
that Christ is supreme and that God is a supreme being, absolutely
sovereign. He also denied the virgin birth
of Christ and believed that the Scripture could only be understood
through a secret wisdom of which, of course, they were the holders
of. And so therefore, only they could
teach it to others. And we'll see how Paul prays
that the saints at Colossus would be filled with the knowledge
of God. The knowledge of God's will. And several of the commentators
said this is the revealed will of God that we see in Scripture.
Not the secret will of God, but the revealed will of God. And
we'll look at the difference in that tonight too. The revealed
will of God. through the Scriptures. And Paul
prays that the saints would be filled with this knowledge of
the will of God. And that they would grow in wisdom.
And that they would grow in spiritual understanding. And Paul's teaching will reveal
that there is absolutely nothing to hide Nothing to hide in the
true gospel. Nothing to be gained by secret
knowledge. See, this is the heart of it.
These men were putting themselves at a higher authority than what
the scriptures are. And nothing's changed. People
are still doing that today. So the Gnostics claiming that
they had special wisdom or secret wisdom The verse tonight is in
direct opposition to that. Paul in his prayer prays that
the Colossians would be equipped by the Holy Spirit to overcome
this error. Again, Paul is laying the grounding.
the groundwork. He's grounding the believers
at Kloss in Christ in the verses that precede this. He's grounding
them in Christ. And he's saying we give thanks
for the fact that you have a hope for heaven, that you have a hope
in Christ, a love for the Gospel, that you received it and embraced
it. And we know the Holy Spirit is
the One who does that. He opens our eyes to understand
the Gospel. He opens and stops our ears to
hear the Gospel preached. Look at verse 7. As ye also learned of Epaphras,
our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister
of Christ, So they heard the Gospel through Epaphras. And
Paul, by grounding these believers in these precious truths, by
saying, we rejoice that you believe. And in this prayer, he's praying
that they would be able to discern between truth and error. And he's hitting this error full
on. So our brother Epaphras, who is a faithful preacher of
the Gospel of God's free grace in Christ, has declared to Paul
that the saints love the brethren, that they love the Gospel, and
that they have a love in the Spirit, and that they believe
the Gospel of God's free grace. Look at verse 8. "...who declared
unto us your love in the Spirit, Now let's read verse 8 and 9
all the way to 14 so we get the context of this. For this cause,
so Epaphras had declared to Paul and Timothy about the Colossians
and about what they believed, and declared to them their love
in the Spirit, and he says, for this cause we also, since the
day we heard it, Do not cease to pray for you and desire that
ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will and all wisdom and
spiritual understanding, that ye might walk worthy of the Lord
and all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing
in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all might according to His
glorious power unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness. Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance
of the saints in life. Have you noticed here? Strengthened
with all might according to His glorious power. And then here
again, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance.
It's all God's work. It's all God's work. Who hath
delivered us? We couldn't deliver ourselves.
who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated
us into the kingdom of His dear Son, in whom we have redemption
through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Only in Christ Jesus
our Lord do we have redemption. Only in Christ Jesus our Lord
do we have forgiveness of sins. Nowhere else. Nowhere else. No man can forgive us for our
sins. Only Christ, who is the God-man,
He's God incarnate in the flesh. And only God can forgive sins.
Paul and Timothy. Now here in our text, so Apophis
had declared unto them these wonderful things about the saints
of Colossus. These wonderful, wonderful... Think of when someone tells us
that the Lord has saved someone, how much we rejoice. Paul's rejoicing
about this work, about the work of Colossus, that God is doing
a mighty work. And Paul and Timothy had heard
the power of God in delivering these saints from the power of
darkness and translating them into the eternal kingdom of Jesus
Christ our Lord. Paul and Timothy had heard, and
the saints gave evidence of this by their love that they had been
translated, that they did believe, because the evidence of their
love The evidence of this is by their love for the Lord Jesus
Christ, and also by the love which they had toward all the
saints. It's evidence of this. Evidence of their salvation.
This love they had for Christ, and the love that they had for
one another, is the love in the Spirit which Paul speaks of in
verse 8. So let's look at our text again
in verse 9. For this cause we also, since
the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you and desire that
ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding. So Paul and Timothy had heard
these tidings from Epaphras, and no doubt they're rejoicing.
They're rejoicing. God is moving, and He's saving
His people among the Gentiles. Rejoicing in this wonderful news. And here we see why it's important
for us to pray. For this cause, we also, since
the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you. 2 Corinthians
11.28 says this. Actually, turn there if you would.
Paul continuously prayed for the Gentile churches. Continuously. He was the one who was ministering
to the Gentiles. And he kept them in prayer. He
kept the churches in prayer. This is why we should pray for
other grace works too. Lift them up. Pray for the men
that are leading those churches. And pray that God would give
them strength. Look at 2 Corinthians 11.28.
Beside those things which are without, that which cometh upon
me daily, The care of all the churches. Daily, Paul prayed
for the churches. He prayed for the Gentile churches.
Not just some of them, but the scripture says here, the care
of all the churches. He was concerned. He was vested
in what was going on. And this is what is meant when
it states that, do not cease to pray for you. Not that he
continuously prayed for the one church, no, but meaning that
he prayed each day for the churches. Daily he bought them before the
Lord. This is why we need to pray for
one another as well. So Paul was praying for these
believers that he has never met. Remember, he's never met the
Colossians. He's never met them. But he's heard glad tidings from
Epaphras about what God's doing. Same as we pray for Brother Lance
in the mission field, and the churches there, and Brother Jean-Claude
in the churches in Africa. We've never met those folks,
but we pray for them, don't we? We lift them up. Oh, that God
would do a mighty work. Oh, that he'd draw in his sheep. Paul's desire for the believers
at Colossus who are faced with these false teachers coming in
and preaching Christ plus something else. Look at it in our text.
Look at what he desires. And he prays for these believers.
He lifts them up. Look, he desires that they might
be filled with the knowledge of his will and all wisdom and
spiritual understanding. Paul desires that they would
be filled like when you fill a glass to the brim. That's what
it means in the Greek. You're totally, completely filled.
He desires that they would be filled. That the believers in Colossians
would grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord. Now we know from the text before,
right? That the Colossians had experienced
the miracle of the new birth. We know that. that they're born again by the
Holy Spirit of God. We know that they've embraced
the truth concerning the deity of Christ. We know that they believed in
His redeeming blood and the substitutionary death for them. They believe
the Gospel. We know that they believe that
Christ has risen from the grave and that He's seated on the throne
in heaven. They believed the Gospel of God's
free grace which was preached to them. They'd been given spiritual ears
to hear and spiritual eyes to see Christ as their Savior. And
they'd been granted the faith to believe on Christ. Look at verse 4. since we heard
of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have
to all the saints, for the hope which is laid up
for you in heaven wherever you heard before in the word of the
truth of the Gospel." So they had embraced the hope
which is laid up for them in heaven. These precious and glorious truths
have been proclaimed by our dear brother, Epaphras. And they believed. They believed. God had granted
these Colossians faith to believe. For this cause, we also, since
the day we heard it again in our text, do not cease to pray
for you and desire that you might be filled, filled to the brim
with the knowledge of His will and all wisdom and spiritual
understanding. Notice before us here a three-pronged
attack by Paul, under inspiration of the Holy
Spirit upon these areas, that you might be filled with the
knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Filled with the knowledge of
his will, in all wisdom, in all spiritual understanding. He's
attacking Gnosticism right there. He's in a battle. Brother John
and I have often talked that the Christian walk is a battle.
And he's battling error here. He's hitting it straight on. And this is in his prayer. In
his prayer, he's asking God that the Colossian saints would be
equipped by the Holy Spirit of God to know error. To know the error which was being
presented by knowing the truth of God's Word. Now, bank tellers, before I get into that, what's
the best way to combat error? Study the truth. Study the truth. Bank tellers, in order to spot
counterfeits, do not study the counterfeit bills. I didn't know
this until Brother Norm Wells told me this story a long time
ago. Bank tellers, in order to spot counterfeits, do not study
the counterfeits, but they study the real money in order to spot
the counterfeits. We do the same, beloved. We study
God's Word and pray that God would give us understanding and
knowledge of His will and spiritual understanding and wisdom. Oh,
that the Holy Spirit would illuminate the Scriptures for us so we could
know the truth. Turn, if you would, to 2 Peter
3, verses 17 and 18. We desire as believers to grow
in the grace of God in Christ. We desire that. Look at 2 Peter 3, verses 17
and 18. I know I'm slow to learn things, But I hope you desire, like I
do, to know more of Christ. This is what we do as believers.
We desire to grow in grace. But the Holy Spirit must illuminate
the Scriptures to our understanding. Look at 2 Peter 3, 17 and 18.
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know These things before, beware lest
ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall
from your own steadfastness, but grow in grace." Grow in grace. And in the knowledge of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and
forever. Amen. Oh, we desire to learn
more of Christ. He must increase and I must decrease. Back to our text. For this cause
we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for
you and desire that you might be filled with the knowledge
of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Knowledge
of His will. Knowledge of His will. As I said,
several of the commentators I looked at, they said this is not the
secret will of God because that belongs to God only. But this
is His revealed will through Scripture. The Colossians knew the grace
of God in truth. Look at verse 6. which is come unto you, the gospel
comes to us, as it is in all the world, and bringeth forth
fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day you heard it, right?
Given spiritual ears. I heard the gospel. I heard it.
And knew the grace of God in truth. So they knew the grace
of God in truth. But Paul desires that they would
be filled with God's revealed will, which is the knowledge
of what He has said in the Bible. And is that not what we do? We
come to study God's Word, to learn about God's Word and what
He says to us as the Holy Spirit gives illumination. As a preacher,
I'm up here. I preach what the Word of God
says and the Holy Spirit applies it to everyone differently too. Differently in the sense you
may get something that someone else might hear something from
the message, but we feed on it. We feast on it. It's the same
truth. We feast on the Word of God.
And we grow in the knowledge and grace of God. And Paul desires that they would
be filled with deep and correct knowledge. of the revelation
of who God is from the Scriptures. Paul desires that the Holy Spirit
of God would illuminate the Scriptures for these dear saints and that
they would grow in the knowledge and truth of God in Christ and
what He has done. Paul declares and desires that
they would grow in the knowledge of who Christ is and who the
Father is, and who the Holy Spirit is, as
revealed in the Scriptures. And we can, as the Holy Spirit
of God teaches us, learn what is the revealed will of God in
the Scriptures. But He must teach us. He must. He must reveal the Scriptures
to us. And He does. He also reveals to us what He
has done for us. He reveals to us how we should
live our lives, what we should avoid. We learn from Scriptures what
the will of God is in salvation for His chosen people. We learn from Scriptures that
it was God's will that Christ has obtained eternal redemption
for us. These are some things we've learned
as believers. We learn from Scriptures that
it is God's will that Jesus Christ our Lord voluntarily voluntarily
substituted Himself in the room of His people on Calvary's cross. Before God's law and justice,
He was perfect, sinless. And He dies in the room and place
of sinners. We learn from Scripture that
it was God's will that Jesus Christ came into this world. And that salvation for God's
elect has been accomplished. That salvation for God's elect
has been accomplished. There's nothing left for us to
do. But we learn that from the Scriptures as He illuminates
the Scriptures. We learn that it's God's will
that those who Christ has redeemed upon the cross will be born again
by the Holy Spirit of God. I didn't know any of that stuff
before the Lord saved me. Did you? I didn't have a clue. We learn from the Scriptures
that it's God's will that all who see the Son by faith and
believe on Him, they'll never perish. They have an everlasting salvation
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. We learn from Scripture that
it is God's will that salvation is only in the Lord Jesus Christ
and in no other. Now the believers in Kloss had
some knowledge of God's will as they've had the Gospel revealed
to them. But as we grow in the Lord and learn of the great things
He has done for us, we grow in grace. We grow in grace. And you'll never see your own
growth. But others will. Others will. John Gill says this
on this portion of Scripture. They had heard of the hope laid
up in heaven in the truth of the word of the gospel. They
had not only had external revelation and had heard the gospel outwardly
preached, but they had known truly the grace of God. And therefore,
what he asked for is that they might be filled, which in the
Greek is filled to the brim, with the knowledge of it, which
supposes that they had knowledge, but it was not full and complete.
We learn, we grow in grace, we grow in Christ. It was imperfect as is the knowledge
of the best of the saints in this life that they might have
a larger measure of it. Now think of this. Here's a good
illustration of growing in knowledge and will of God. Think of when the Lord first
saved you. Think of your understanding of
God at that time. Think of your understanding of
His providence. Think of what you know now from
God teaching you. Think now, you who have been
a believer for years. Do you not see God's hand of
providence in everything now? I didn't see that when the Lord
first saved me. I was just rejoicing that the Lord saved me. But now,
now I see His hand in everything. Everything. As He's revealed
His sovereignty, His majesty, His providence. Do you not see His hands in your
provision? Do you not see His hand in giving
you strength when you go through trials? Do you not see God's hand in
little things which may seem like everyday things? But now you look at them with
new eyes and see in His mighty hand at
work. And we see this in light of studying
God's providence from the Scriptures. Turn, if you would, to Psalm
68.19. Do you not see God's hand in giving
us the very air that we breathe every single day? Clothes to wear every day. Homes to live in. Brethren who love and care for
us. Families who love us. Look at this, Psalm 68, 19. Blessed be the Lord who daily
loatheth us with benefits. Daily, beloved. Daily. Even the God of our salvation.
And then lamentations. Keep that in mind and turn to
lamentations. Oh, when we marvel now at God's
providence in our lives. Lamentations 3.23. Remember,
you're daily loaded down with benefits, right? Look at Lamentations
3.23. They are new every morning. Beloved,
His mercies. are new every morning. Daily
you're loaded down with benefits. We see God's hand at work daily
in our lives. They are new every morning. Great
is thy faithfulness. We also, in studying the Scriptures,
right? And growing, as Paul says here, to be filled with the knowledge
of His will. We have revealed to us as we
study Scripture, by the Holy Spirit, that God is faithful.
He is a faithful God. Great is Thy faithfulness, the
Scriptures proclaim. Great is Thy faithfulness. And
I ask you this, you who believe, do you not marvel more now at
God's mercy and faithfulness? His mercy and his faithfulness
to his people. Do you not marvel more now at
that than when you first believed? And think of this. Paul is praying
for our brethren at Colossus that they would grow in grace.
And that they would grow in the knowledge of God's revealed will
in Scripture. And contrast that to Gnosticism.
Do you see how he's hitting it right on? Contrast that to Gnosticism. Which says there are secret things
that have to be learned. Through certain folks who have
the supposed truth. God, the Holy Spirit, teaches
his people through this word. Oh, it's marvelous. Look at Colossians 1.9 again. For this cause we also, since
the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you and desire that
you might be filled with the knowledge of His will and all
wisdom and spiritual understanding. All wisdom and spiritual understanding.
And remember, this is a prayer that Paul's praying for the believers. A Colossus. He prays that they
be filled with the knowledge of God's will and all wisdom
and spiritual understanding. This wisdom and spiritual understanding
is spiritual. It's not worldly wisdom. It's
spiritual wisdom. See, the Gnostics were saying
they had the key to those things. But no, the believer has the
Holy Spirit within him. And he reveals to us these precious
truths. So do you see how Paul is combating
this error? By pointing them to the fact
that the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit will reveal to them understanding
of the Scriptures. Look at Psalm 32, verse 8. This wisdom and spiritual understanding
is spiritual. It's not worldly wisdom or worldly
understanding. And it must be taught to us by
God the Holy Spirit. And He does it through the preaching
of His Word, through the reading of His Word, It's wonderful. Look at this beautiful verse
in Psalm 32, verse 8. I will instruct thee and teach
thee in the way which thou shalt go. I will guide thee with mine
eye. God will instruct His people
and teach His people. He instructs and guides us And
remember this too, the Holy Spirit always points us to Christ. Always
points us to Christ. These Gnostics were saying, well,
we have this. Pointing to themselves. But the Holy Spirit points the
believer to Christ. Turn, if you would, to 1 Corinthians,
chapter 2. 1 Corinthians 2 Spiritual wisdom
and understanding are produced and sustained by God the Holy
Spirit in us. 1 Corinthians 2, verses 9 and 10, But as it is written, I have
not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of
man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit." See, we can't
understand them in our natural state. But when you're born again
in the Spirit, He teaches us. For the Spirit searches all things,
yea, the deep things of God. Look down two verses to verse
12. Now we have received not the Spirit of the world, but
the Spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that
are freely given to us of God. Look down two more verses. But
the natural man, right? That was our state before the
Lord saved us, before the Lord regenerated us. The natural man
receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness
unto him. Neither can he know them, because
they are spiritually discerned. God the Holy Spirit must teach
us. Must teach us. We are taught
by God the Holy Spirit who gives us wisdom and spiritual understanding. He must give us eyes to see,
right? There was a time when I didn't
have a care for God. I was blind as a bat. But God gave me eyes to see Christ
one day. And he unstopped these ears and
gave me ears to hear the gospel. And I ran to Christ. I know now
that I was made willing. I ran to him. I was made willing. He saved me. He saved me. Oh, what a wonderful God. So we saw in those verses in
1 Corinthians 2 that the Holy Spirit must teach us. Now let's
contrast this to what Paul was combating in the very epistle
that we are in. Turn if you would to Colossians
2. So Paul's telling them to search
the Scriptures. You grow in grace and the knowledge
and truth. He's praying that God would give them spiritual
understanding and wisdom and that they would understand the
spiritual things and be filled with the knowledge of God's revealed
will in Scripture. Look what he's combating. And
remember this as we go through this epistle. We'll contrast
this to what Paul was combating in the epistle. And he is praying
that the Colossians would be given discernment to know the
truth as opposed to error. Look at Colossians 2, verse 8. Beware, lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after
the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Go down to
verse 18. So there he's warning them. Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition of men, after
the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Look at verse
18. And we'll read to 23. Let no man beguile you of your
reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding
into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by
his fleshy mind. We don't worship angels. We worship
the one who angels fall before. We worship Christ. And not holy. the head from which
all the body by joints and bands have nourished, ministered, and
knit together increases with the increase of God. Wherefore,
if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world..."
Why is living in the world? Are you subject to ordinances?
So someone was pushing ordinances on these folks. Someone was saying, you've got
to do these things in order to be saved. We know Paul's dealt with that
in other epistles, hasn't he? With the Judaizers. And it's no different now than
folks pushing works-based religion and saying, well, it's Christ
plus something else. No, it's not. Salvation is in
Christ and Him alone. Nowhere else. So Paul goes on. Are you subject to ordinances?
Touch not, taste not, handle not. You can't eat that. You
can't do this. Which are all to perish with
the ewes and after the commandments and doctrines of men. There it
is. You can't eat fish on Friday. Why
not? which things have indeed a show
of wisdom in will-worship, in humility, in the neglecting of
the body, not in the honor to the satisfying of the flesh." You see, Paul is praying that they would be
filled with the knowledge of His will
and all wisdom and spiritual understanding so that they could
say, that is wrong. When someone comes to them and
says, it's Christ plus this, and they say, no, it's not. It's
Christ plus nothing. My salvation rests upon Him.
And this can even be applied to us today, can't it? You see
how it's even applicable to us when someone comes to us and
says, You've got to be baptized to be saved. Well, no I don't,
because it says it's Christ alone in scriptures. You see, the traditions and rudiments
of man, man controlling man, making people two-fold the child
of hell. You can't do this, and you can't
do that. Well, there's some things I can't
do, because scripture tells me I can't. Oh, that God would teach us,
eh? That he would teach us. But these worksmongers, touch
not, taste not, handle not, And scripture says, which are
to perish with the using after the commandments and doctrines
of man. Not the commandments of Christ, the commandments and doctrines
of man. These worksmongers had come in
and told the Colossian brethren that they had a secret knowledge. which must be learned from them.
And from what we see here, they laid all kinds of requirements
and religious checklists, didn't they? Which they had to follow. And
Paul is saying, no, it's Christ plus nothing. We're going to see him. He goes
to battle. Because we are. We're in a war. And praise God that salvation
is in Christ and Him alone. And that it's not based on anything
we do. I thank God. And this is my prayer for us,
too, as a body of believers. That we might grow, might be
filled with the knowledge of His will. That we might grow
in wisdom and spiritual understanding together. As God teaches us through
the scriptures. that we would have a desire to
study the Word of God. And then, most important, that
the Holy Spirit would illuminate the Scriptures for us, and that
He would teach us. We want to know what He says
in the Word. This is why Brother Henry Mahan
a long time ago said, all God's people want to do is hear what
the word says. That's what I do. When a preacher's
preaching to me, I just want to hear what the word says. I
want to rejoice. I want to rejoice in my God,
in what he's done. Oh, that he would reveal his
will to us. Oh, that we would marvel at his
providence, that we would grow in realizing what he's done for
us. Realizing what it cost. Realizing that for maternity,
he's loved us as believers. Isn't it marvelous? Oh, that
we might grow. Oh, that we might grow. That we might be filled with
the knowledge of his will. in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Oh, that we might. Brother John,
can we do that redeemed, how I love to proclaim it. Yeah,
can we do that? Out of the red folder.
