That Christ may dwell....

One of the Greatest prayers and indeed, God's dream for his children is found in Ephesians 3:16-19, '...to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.' This is mind-blowing! First, we are introduced to the invigorating ministry of God's Spirit in us which will lead to the Indwelling of Christ in us! The Indwelling here doesn't suggest that Christ was absent before. The Word used was, 'Kataoikeo' which means, 'to dwell in something or someone such as to become it's CONTROLLING and PERVADING influence.'  This is where Christ consumes us totally and that interpenetration that occurred in our spirits at salvation is furthered for expression externally. Then, we get acquainted with plumbing the dimensions of God's love in which we know  the love of Christ that passes all knowledge. Remarkable! To have knowledge that passes knowledge? Yes sir! The word, 'knowledge', in the first instance is, 'Ginosko', which is knowledge of acquaintance; it's a deep and intimate knowledge facilitated by God's Spirit as he leads us into experiencing the realities of God. The second instance is translated from, 'Gnosis', which is mere scientific knowledge, knowledge acquired by study. This, 'Ginosko' which supersedes, 'Gnosis' leads us into an experience beyond comprehension; all the fullness of God! This is too much! All of God's totality at work in me? Yes sir! I pray for you today that this ministry is accomplished in you by God's Spirit! #Enoikeo #Pleroma
