Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Because this is a lower cased "spirit", it is referring to "the disposition or influence which fills and governs the soul of any one".
It is Pauls desire, that the Father, give unto this people a disposition that drives them to achieve the ability to discern the truth, to study and rightly divide the word, and to grow in knowledge of the Father. There are very few who recieve this gift. It requires a great amount of devotion to the word, along with great patience.
