Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 3:
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
We are meant to be strengthened in our inner man where Christ dwells. We need to be constantly using our faith so that the life of Christ will be released deep inside us and that the resting place of His Agape Love will become the very source and root of our life.
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
How great is FATHER’S power? IT is above all we could ask or think so we must no longer think of limitation or restriction being an issue. That power is resident in us and needs to be moved from the passive state of “potential” to the active state of fruitfulness. That power from the Spirit realm is far above our mental capabilities so we should not attempt to use logic or reasoning to activate that power. We must yield ourselves to activate the power Paul reveals in the above passage.
To yield means: To comply with; to give way; not to oppose; to give place, as inferior in rank or excellence. To be a good receiver, we have to know FATHER is our Provider thus it is extremely important for us to dwell on HIS goodness and HIS other attributes every day. As we walk according to HIS directives, we are actively yielding to HIS power and authority. Our actions affirm our consistent willingness to yield thus our faith IN HIM is pleasing and allows HIS power to work through us in a greater way.
Since HIS power is in us, we don’t have to travel to some meeting to tap into HIS power. We simply need to enter in to our “Secret Place” as described in Psalm 91. Jesus referred to this Secret Place when He spoke in Matthew chapter 6:
5 “Whenever you pray, be sincere and not like the pretenders who love the attention they receive while praying before others in the meetings and on street corners. Believe me, they’ve already received in full their reward. 6 But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God, praying to him in secret. And your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly. 7 When you pray, there is no need to repeat empty phrases, praying like those who don’t know God, for they expect God to hear them because of their many words. 8 There is no need to imitate them, since your Father already knows what you need before you ask him.”
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:
5 Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as his beloved Sons and Daughters. 2 And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant love of Christ, for He surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us. His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet healing fragrance.
When we give, we imitate Our Heavenly Father for HE gave HIS Son Jesus for our benefit. HIS gift is allowing us to come into full unity with HIM as well as each other. As we give to those in need, we promote unity. If we withhold our giving, we perpetuate division. FATHER’S abundance exceeds our ability to receive but as we distribute, our ability and capacity to receive grows. The devil knows this and that is why he promotes greed and hoarding for “greed” is the root of all evil.
Since HE is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, let us acknowledge and set our expectation at a much higher level than in the past. Cast down those vain thoughts of unworthiness and know that Christ’s Blood wiped away all those unworthy acts which have clung to your consciousness. They have been wiped away and no longer exist. The Blood was and is more than sufficient for us to walk worthy of THE LORD, we need to rise up from our passive state and GO forth!
