Strengthened with Power
Strengthened with Power Ephesians 3:14-21 Main Point: Paul prays for us to have supernatural power through Christ’s Spirit in us: That we will be strengthened in our inner being, and be able to know the depth of Jesus’ transforming love for us! ‘Strengthen’ = to make strong, increase in strength. ‘inner being’ = the new you in Jesus, the new nature that God births in you when Jesus’ Spirit indwells you! Titus 3:4-6 I John 4:13 1. Supernatural Power to be strengthened for Jesus to dwell more fully in us. (verses 16-17) Dwell = Be completely at home. *supernatural Power to surrender/lay it down/die to my old self – It is his power that works in us to allow Him to live more completely in our life! It is by faith! (verse 17) *The more fully He dwells in us, the more rooted and established in love we become. (verse 17). 2. Power to know/comprehend Jesus’ love for us so that we may be filled to fullness - overflowing. (verses 19-21) Philippians 3:10-11
