Devotional Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eph 3:6; Eph 3:10-13
This is God\u2019s plan; Both Jew and Gentile who believe the Good News equally share in the riches inherited (Gal 4:4) by God\u2019s children. Both are part of the same body and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom and its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in heavenly places. This was his eternal plan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eph 3:10-20
Because it is his plan for us to display his wisdom\u2026 the wisdom that produced His eternal plan of everyone united, together making up his physical body on earth, sharing the inherited riches of being God\u2019s kids\u2026 to display the variety of his wisdom\u2026 yes to those who witness our lives in the flesh (1Thess 4:11-12), but ALSO to the unseen rulers and authorities in heavenly places. (Eph 3:10-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to do that, we are going to need \u201cHis glorious, unlimited resources , empowering us with strength in our Spirit.\u201d (Eph 4:16) It\u2019s when we are depending on that power that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Christ will make his home in our hearts (Eph 4:17)<\/li>
  2. We will grow deeper in love for God (Eph 4:17)<\/li>
  3. It will keep us strong (Eph 4:17)<\/li>
  4. It will take that power for us to understand the width, length, height and depth of God\u2019s love. (Eph 4:18)<\/li>
  5. As we understand His love, we will come to know it by experience. (Eph 4:19)<\/li>
  6. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. (Eph 4:19)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    And by the way, \u201call glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within, to accomplish all this, and infinitely more than you can ask or think.\u201d (Eph 4:20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Prayer Points:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    1. That you will know and experience him empowering you with his glorious unlimited resources in Christ.<\/li>
    2. That you will grow deeper in your love for God. That you will, through the power of Jesus resurrected life in you, begin to comprehend God\u2019s love in all it\u2019s facets.<\/li>
    3. Comprehending His love will become a life long pursuit.<\/li>
    4. As you experience His love, you will display his love to those who witness your life (1 John 4:12)<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
