Steps To Divine Fulness Pt 2 Series

To perceive and practice His love is our calling. Paul spends the rest of his letter practically spelling out what that looks like. We long to be filled up to the fullness of God’s love.

I long for us as a church family to be so gripped by His love that it overflows to everyone we touch.

Let’s pray for it until we see it.

Let’s pray for the Spirit’s strengthening with power in the inner man.

So that

The Spirit’s strengthening will allow the Son’s full indwelling in our life.

So that

The Son’s loving relationship with us brings in an ever increasing understanding of His love.

So that

This ever growing understanding of the full dimensions of His love begins to cause us to naturally reflect the Father's loving nature.

Impossible? Well, Paul understood that we serve the God of the impossible as expressed in his doxology.

20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,

21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

The things that God will accomplish through the church around the world transcend our imagination. He will do it THROUGH the church according to the power at work with the church. They will result in glory being offered in every generation through eternity.

Sample Prayer based on Paul’s Prayer for Enablement

Because You created the church to display Your power and glory…

I humbly come before you to ask that, according to the riches stored in Your glorious warehouse, You would grant us to be strengthened with power in the core of our beings by Your Holy Spirit SO THAT Christ would have full reign in our lives that roots us and grounds us in His love SO THAT we will have the capacity to fully comprehend the full dimensions of Christ’s love for us SO THAT we will be saturated with His glorious nature.

Strengthen us so that we become more like You every day through a daily trust and interaction with Jesus and a deeper comprehension of His infinite love.

Strengthen us so that His love not only fills us but overflows to all those around us.

Now to You who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to You be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
