Ephesians 3:14- 19 This is the reason I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, from whom every family in heaven and on earth receives its name. I pray that he would give you, according to His glorious riches, strength in your inner being and power through His Spirit and that the Messiah would make His home in your hearts through faith. Then, having been rooted and grounded in love, you will be able to understand, along with all the saints, what is wide, long, high, and deep - that is, you will know the love of the Messiah -which transcends knowledge, and will be filled with all the fullness of God.
"That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory." Grasp the scope of these words.
- Provision: You can come to God in prayer for anything. You do not need to fear to present your requests to God. You cannot ask too much. He can do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. (Philippians 4:19)
- Empowered: Strength from the Spirit of God in the inner man; strength in the soul; the strength of faith to serve God and to do our duty.
- Indwelled: Jesus abiding in us as a living, loving Lord, guiding and directing us for the glory of God.
- Established: rooted and grounded in love - - love that is the great rock foundation on which we build - - God is love.
- Enlightened: comprehending the width, length, and depth of the vast system of grace that God is working out through the ages of time, which will be perfected in the ages to come.
- Expanded: Know the unknowable - The love of the Messiah which transcends knowledge.
- Enriched: Filled with all fullness of God yet, "Behold the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee" (1 King 8:27)
Experience the Great Depth of Christ's Love.
If the law of Christ is written in our hearts and the love of Christ is shed abroad there, then Christ dwells there. Where His spirit dwells, there He dwells.
Fervently pray for God to strengthen your faith and grasp His love's expanse. He will answer you. He wants us to experience the great depth of His love.
