Ephesians
3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you,
according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his
Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that
ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all
saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the
love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the
fulness of God.
This
passage of scripture, like many others, is just so powerful and wonderful to
eat! First we see we have a family that
is not just in the earth, but in heaven too.
It is a family with God as our Father, and we are named after Him. And you know how many names He has! Big Responsibility here.
Verse
16 – 19 is the focus for today, so look deep and allow the Lord to reveal
Himself to you in a clearer way…
In
verse 16 HE GRANTS YOU… now I know this
is Paul speaking as if a prayer in his heart, but that’s my point… Would Paul’s
prayer be unanswered? No. So RECEIVE from the Apostle of God today
also.
So…
God Grants to You ACCORDING to HIS RICHES of GLORY… now this is Deep! We are not talking of rubies, diamonds,
dollars…. This is talking of God’s Presence IN You and the Effects it has on
you… the Benefits He is IN You. !!!
LIBERTY! Oh Hallelujah to the
King!
God
to grant you according to the riches of His Glory so You Can Be STRENGTHENED
with POWER BY HIS PRESENCE – SPIRIT….
God is Spirit. There’s only one
Spirit and that is the Lord, the Holy One, Yeshua, God (Ephesians 4)….
STRENGTHENED BY His Spirit IN YOUR INNER MAN.
Now
the next verse though CONNECTS Jesus Christ AS THAT SPIRIT…. That Christ may
dwell in your hearts by faith. Jesus
Christ IS THAT Spirit. One Spirit – God.
Then
it tells us why – so you may be AFFECTED BY LOVE, and ANCHORED – SECURED in HIS
THOUGHTS towards you.
…that
ye, being rooted and grounded in love…. May be able to comprehend (understand)
with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might
be filled with all the fulness of God.
Now,
verse 19 is speaking of a love that exceeds
head knowledge…. it is an EXPERIENCIAL Love.
An Experience that goes beyond head knowledge… An Experience in His Love
that creates and causes a Change in your nature (Fills You With God – removes all
voids, lack, emptiness).
His
Presence In You – Is His Riches of Glory… Giving You His Best which is Himself.
Amen.
