“Power In the Inner Man”
“Power In the Inner Man”
Blessings folk!
We saw yesterday that Paul “bowed the knee…”.
Eph 3:14-15
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,
Paul bowed his knee before the Father…Father from whom…
Whom who? 
Every family in heaven.
Every family on earth.
From whom every family derives its name.
“Family in heaven”?
Is this speaking of those who have preceded us to glory?
Perhaps.
It might be a reference to divine beings…?
Anyway, Paul humbled himself before Father.
Why?
Eph 3:16
16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
Paul was bowing the knee before the Father of all the families of creation in intercession on behalf of the Ephesians!
He asked the Lord to grant them something.
To grant them something according to the riches of His glory.
To grant what?
That they would be strengthened with Power through His Spirit int he inner man.
This is significant.
This is powerful.
We should pray for OneAnother.
We should pray this for ourselves.
Lord, grant us!
- to be strengthened with Power
- through Your Holy Spirit
- in the inner man
Such is the way of the Kingdom!
