Let the Word dwell in you richly....

Colossians 3:16 tells us the most practical way to come under the controlling influence of the Word of Christ. It reads thus, 'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.' The word, 'dwell' is the Greek word,  'Enoikeo'. Enoikeo refers to the indwelling, controlling influence at work in a man. God is asking for the Word (Greek -Logos; doctrine, teaching) of Christ to come to a point of controlling influence in your life. Wow! In other Words, you'd begin to function in his will and purposes more accurately. But, how is this accomplished? We are told in Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual songs. Psalms are Spiritual poems magnifying God and detailing his thoughts towards himself and us, his Church. Hymns are odes of praise unto God based on his revelations to you. Spiritual songs are songs that have been inspired by God's Spirit, usually they come in other tongues. This is so wonderful. Doing these, there is a mingling, a communion with the Spirit that brings God's word to a point of control in our lives. You become aligned to God's plan as the Holy Ghost effects that alignment in your Spirit! Plus this, you are also filled with the Holy Ghost -Ephesians 5:18. Words are terribly limiting in describing such a phenomenon. My charge to you is to set yourself loose in these things and experience them. A good way to start is praying in other tongues. #Enoikeo #Pleroma
