Empowered With Inner Strength!
…that according
to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through
His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith that you being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to
comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and
depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be
filled with all the fullness of God.--------Ephesians 3:16-19
This is part
of the Apostle Paul’s prayer for the Christians in Ephesus. When we become part of God’s family, which
was provided through the death and resurrection of His ONE and ONLY Son, Jesus
Christ, we receive the power of His Spirit, which indwells us, and through His
Spirit we are given INNER STRENGTH. And
God’s Son, through the presence of the HOLY SPIRIT, indwells us, through FAITH,
that we might be ROOTED and GROUNDED in His love.
Then we will
have strength to KNOW the length, width, height, and depth of God’s GREAT LOVE
and to KNOW of the LOVE of Christ that SURPASSES knowledge, in order to be filled
with ALL the fullness of God. And not
only to KNOW it, but to EXPERIENCE His love in our INNER BEING.
This is what
the Father wants for ALL of His Children.
He want us to EXPERIENCE His GREAT LOVE and to have an intimate
relationship with Him, because He is our Spiritual Daddy, or Abba Father and we
need to KNOW just how long, wide, high and deep His love is for us. We can only have this knowledge through FAITH
in Him.
He wants us
to KNOW of and EXPERIENCE the LOVE of Christ, His Son, which is beyond our
comprehension, because of His SACRIFICE for the crown of God’s creation,
mankind, that we may be filled with ALL the fullness of God. It was the desire of Paul that the Christians
in Ephesus EXPERIENCE God’s love and to KNOW Him and His Son with a deep
abiding FAITH, that would give them INNER STRENGTH, to be able to not just
EXPERIENCE His GREAT LOVE, but to be filled with ALL the fullness of God. And that is what the Father wants for His
Children.
If you have
not given your HEART and LIFE to Christ, then you are not part of God’s family
and He is not your Spiritual Daddy. And you are not EXPERIENCING His GREAT
LOVE, or KNOWING how GREAT IT really is.
You NOW have the opportunity to change your relationship with Him, from
Him being your JUDGE to being your Spiritual Daddy, by: CONFESSING your sins to
Him and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that
Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE, in Heaven, making intercession for you, before
God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION and EXPERIENCE His GREAT LOVE and be
EMPOWERED with INNER STRENGTH. Do it NOW, while you STILL can. He’s waiting!!!
