Working things for the kingdom then creates an experience with God that then increases our knowledge about God. That is, knowledge about how God works in our lives—how he accomplishes things, takes care of us, relates to us, etc. In the experience with God, what is needed for that experience also becomes manifest. Paul prays that the Colossians, in verse 11, are “being strengthened with all power, according to his [God’s] glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy” (ESV). Along the whole life journey, whatever that life journey may be, is needed power. That’s obvious. To have spiritual wisdom, to have understanding, to have every good work, and to increase in knowledge—with all of these things, power is a must have. Power is simply our ability to accomplish what God desires for us to accomplish in these areas. If they could be done by simply human means, there would be no need for a conversation process and Christian experience of life to begin with.
