On behalf of each of us here at Sonsofthesea, we pray blessings over your New Year. The very blessings the Apostle Paul speaks of in Ephesians 3. We thank God that He has drawn you here. And we pray that you continue to follow us into this New Year as we continue to follow after all that Jesus has for those of us who love Him and diligently seek after more of Him—Psalm. 42:1. Know that we are praying God’s best over you, your family, and your ministry. Part of that “best” is a greater understanding, a ginṓskō understanding—one that is intimate, experiential, and ever-deepening. That first-hand knowledge of the multidimensional love of God of which Paul speaks in Ephesians 3:17-19, listen: “And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself].”

This is our Prayer for you on this first day of this New Year—and beyond. That you are ever-growing, ever-deepening in your intimate knowledge of our God. All that you might continue to bear more and more fruit for His glory! The fields are white friends; pray to Lord of the harvest…

In His Adventure,

MaryEllen Montville, Overseer.
