Ephesians 3 - The Fullness of God

Ephesians 3
 
Paul says that he bows his knees before the Father so that…
 
According to the RICHES OF GOD’S GLORY, he may grant us to be…
 
STRENGTHENED with POWER through his Spirit in us…in our inner being. So that…
 
Christ may DWELL IN OUR HEARTS through faith. That we…
 
Being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE may…
 
Have STRENGTH to COMPREHEND what is the BREADTH and LENGTH and HEIGHT and DEPTH, and to…
 
KNOW the LOVE of Christ that…
 
SURPASSES knowledge, that we may be…
 
FILLED with all the FULNESS of God.  Filled. With. The. Fullness. Of. God. Yes, please!
 
Do we comprehend the power available to us? Do we grasp the deep love? Do we abide in the fullness of God? The one who is ABLE to do FAR MORE ABUNDANTLY than all we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.
 
In those moments I am abiding and filled with His fullness and rooted in His love and feel strengthened by His power…in those moments, I feel like I can do anything. But then night comes. Then I let my guard down and the devil sneaks in with his lies. And I begin to doubt and question. I begin to fear. I begin to even be embarrassed about all those things I thought I could do. The darkness mocks me.
 
There’s a quote I often think about when I become aware of the devil’s meddling, “Don’t doubt in the dark what you received from God in the light.” If God has put it on your heart, God will be with you. Remember Paul’s words about who God is…the one who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to the power at work within us. How could we doubt if we believe this?
 
I’m starting a 21-day Daniel Fast today with the Church of Eleven22. I’m intentionally going to pray about my family, friends, the Church at large, a handful of ministries (you know who you are!), and a few big dreams God has planted. I’ve posted some info about the Daniel Fast with links to resources here if you would like to join in.
