Ephesians 1:17-21, he was praying it for you too. You should take time out to read those verses. Then, make a declaration out of them. When we declare what God says, it's like taking ownership, making His words our own. It puts us in agreement with what God wants. So, write these words down, and say them out loud. The Lord gives me spiritual wisdom and insight so that I might grow in my knowledge of Him. My heart is ooded with light so I understand the con dent hope He has given me. God has called me one of His holy ones. I am His rich and glorious inheritance. I understand the incredible greatness of God's power and I believe Him! I understand this is the power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realm. Superkid, this is who you are! We all agree together. We are partners with God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. That is a mighty word for you from the Lord. Let this prayer become your identity. Say it. Read it. Believe it. This is what de nes us and makes our faith in Him famous. To sign off this month, I want to make a place for us to sign, like signing a legal agreement. I, Commander Kellie, declare that these Superkids and I agree with this prayer that Paul prayed for us! I, Cadet agree with this prayer that Paul prayed for me!

Are you ready to continue our journey through the book of Ephesians? We are going to study it verse by verse, but don't think about it like you might study for a test at school. When I was in school, I would study just to pass a test. I wasn't thinking about the information being important later in my life. Imagine, though, what my life would be like if I hadn't learned to read and write. I couldn't write this letter to you every month without the basic language skills I learned when I was your age. I believe the Lord wants us to study Ephesians with our hearts, not just our heads. He wants to create a picture of who we are called to be, not just today but forever. Your choice to be a Superkid will last your whole lifetime! Remember, to be a Superkid is simply giving your whole life to Jesus, 24/7, and doing what He tells you to do by being led by His Word and His Voice. For more than 35 years, I have been Commander Kellie to kids all over the world. Just yesterday, two successful adults told me that they were Superkids. One grew up in Australia and said God had used Commander Kellie and the Superkids to lead her and her siblings to give their lives to the Lord. Today, she is in ministry and they all are doing the "missions" God called them to do. And they love Jesus! It blessed me to see that my life affects people of all ages, all over the world! I had no idea Superkid Academy would affect kids that far away, or for so many years! I was just doing what I felt passionate in my heart to do. I believe this study will do the same for you. It will stir up your passion and cause you to recognize who God says you are. When you recognize Jesus in you, others will too! Famous Faith! I, Cadet agree with this prayer that Paul prayed for me! Kellie Copeland is responsible for Covenant Partner Relations at Kenneth Copeland Ministries and is the developer of the Superkid Academy curriculum. Through her ministry and as "Commander Kellie," she ful lls the mission of drawing people of all ® That brings me to Ephesians 1:15-16! In his letter to the people in Ephesus, Paul says: "Because of this, since I rst heard about your strong faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and your tender love toward all his devoted ones, my heart is always full and over owing with thanks to God for you as I constantly remember you in my prayers" (The Passion Translation). Their faith and love was famous! Paul heard about how they believed in God and what he had taught them, and how loving they were! I understand what Paul must have felt when he said, "my heart is always full of thanks and prayers." You may read my letters and think, Commander Kellie would be disappointed in me. Or, that Jesus is. No, we're not! In Matthew 19:13-15, Jesus tells His disciples EXACTLY what He thinks about them (and you). It says, "Then they brought little children to Jesus so that he would lay his hands on them, bless them, and pray for them. But the disciples scolded those who brought the children, saying, 'Don't bother him with this now!' Jesus overheard them and said, 'I want little children to come to me, so never interfere with them when they want to come, for heaven's kingdom realm is composed of beloved ones like these! Listen to this truth: No one will enter the kingdom realm of heaven unless he becomes like one of these.' Then he laid his hands on each of them and went on his way." My team and I pray for you. And most importantly, Jesus is making sure those prayers are heard. He is blessing you to become full of His Spirit in love, power and purpose. That's why Ephesians is your identity. Paul wrote this powerful, God-breathed letter to the church at Ephesus and God made sure it became part of our Bible. God intended this message to be a letter to the Body of Christ throughout eternity! So when Paul prayed the prayer in Commander Kellie
