Ephesians 3:17-21

17 May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love,

Jesus will never leave us and He will never forsake us, so His home is permanently with us. Regardless of what we do, Jesus is with us. Even if we mess up, He will leave the 99 who don’t and He will come and get us, Luke 15:4. This is our peace that passes all understanding, Philippians 4:7. The world and worldly religion wants us to think that we are in control of our relationship with our Father. But the glorious Truth is that Jesus is in control of us. Jesus is responsible for us. Jesus Alone is our Shepherd, our Head, our Vine, and our Lord.  Faith is not our ability to believe the Truth, faith is Jesus’ ability to believe working through us, Hebrews 12:2. 

18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];

    

19 [That you may really come] to know [practically, [through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses [mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and [become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!

The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to pray this prayer because it is the will of our Father that we have all that He has. Our Father’s plan is to fill us with all of His fulness so that on this earth we may be just like Jesus is, 1 John 4:17. Our Father wants us to experience His fulness and be filled with all of Himself just as Jesus is filled with all of Him. In Christ we have the richest measure of our Father’s fulness. We are wholly filled God Himself and through the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to actually dare to think of being used as Jesus is used, John 14:12. We are empowered to grasp the Truth and be used fully in it, from the least of us, to the greatest of us. In Christ our Father is able to use us without limits. Today is the day for this and now is our appointed time. We are the glorious church without spot, wrinkle, or blemish. 

20 Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--

Because it is our Father’s power that works within us, we will be used to do superabundant things! It doesn’t matter if you can believe for them or not. The hand doesn’t have to believe that it can be used, the head just uses it! So many believe that we must first act for our Father to act. The Truth that empowers us is that our Father is active towards us, not reactive to us. Whether He causes us to first accept and believe is irrelevant, the only relevant Truth is that our Father is the only power that causes us to do anything and He cause us to do everything. In Christ we are able to be used by God to do greater works than Jesus was used to do and because we are the world is able to believe. 

21To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
