A prisoner's prayer Part 1 of 4

A person can still be productive even in a prison -
An example of St Paul's prison letters were certainly unique even when in a Roman prison as follows:

His requests were not for material or physical things rather they centered upon far more important Spiritual Blessing toward others...  There in his letter to the church in Colossae he came to pray about some false teaching in three parts!
Found in Colossians 1:9-12.

 He prayed for Spiritual Intelligence (Col. 1:9) :

There were many false teachings which promised the Colossian believers that they would be in " in the know " if they accepted their new doctrines..  Using words like wisdom, special knowledge and other spiritual understanding were the jest of their program. Satan is deceptive and will borrow and blend the use of certain key words to crate another false meaning.
** This is evident today as false teachings spread questionable ideas to dilute the original Gospel message!  Only prayer and staying with the original Bible messages will stop these false messages...

Since the believers had come to know and accept the Gospel of Christ; Paul wrote " ... and knew the grace of Good in truth."  Col. 1.6 
" You do not need a new spiritual experience, you only need to grow in the experience you have already had." Then in Col.2:10 " And you are complete in Him "  then Paul added - Do not look for something new, just continue to grow in that which you received in the beginning.

While every Christian believer needs to know or have " the knowledge of His Will."  {The Greek word translated " knowledge" carries the meaning of " a full knowledge"  - therefore no one has a perfect knowledge we move from grace to grace...
