Praying For Power [Sunday, September 25, 2022] Greg Burlile
Ephesians 3:14-19 ESV
We pray for one another because we are a spiritual family. (3:14-15)
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
We pray for inner strength (3:16-17)
16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ephesians 1:13-14 ESV
13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ESV
16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
What is verse 17 saying?
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Galatians 2:20 ESV
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 4:19 ESV
19 my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!
3:17 NLT Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him.
We pray for power to know the fullness of God’s love (3:18-19)
Ephesians 3:18-19 ESV
18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
