Let’s get right into the book of Ephesians, Last time we */ended/* with (*/EPH 3:13/*) So let’s */pick up/* right */from there/*.
*I.
**/EPH 3:14/*
*A.
*Paul is */leading up to/* a */prayer/* here.
His */1st/* */statement/* “*/For this cause/*,” */refers/* to the Vs that we read last time, It refers back */to you and I/*, as Gentiles, */receiving the Gospel/* and salvation.
*1.
/So he’s saying/* “*/Because you and I are receiving the Word of God/*, */I bow my knee to the Father/*.”
*2.
*The */next few words/*, “*/Of our Lord Jesus Christ/*,” */do not appear/* in the */original text/*.
*a.
/It’s true/* that */God is the Father of/* the Lord */Jesus/* Christ, */but/* */Jesus is not the subject here/*.
*/You and I are/*.
*b.
/We are named after the Father/*, along with all of His family.
*c.
*We’re of the Family of God.
*B.
**/EPH 3:15/*
*1.
/The family in heaven/* is */named after/* the */Father/*, and the */family on earth/* is also */named after/* the */Father/*.
*a.
/If you/* were to */die/*, */you don’t leave 1 family/* */and join another/*.
*/We’re all 1 family/*.
*2.
**/EPH 3:16/*
*a.
*The word “*/Strengthened/*” in this */V/* means “*/Overcoming Strength/*.”
*i.
*Then Paul uses the word “*/Might/*” which is the Greek word “*/Dunamis/*” which is “*/the Power of God/*.”
*b.
*What */Paul is saying/* here is */that it’s God’s will that you have an Overcoming Strength/* */in the Inner Man/*, */which comes from the Power of the HS/*.
*i.
/God wants us to be OVERCOMERS/*, */Overcoming sin/*, */Overcoming the enemy/* and even */Overcoming situations/*, */but how/* are we going to */get this Overcoming Power/* */to live/* a */victorious life/*?
*ii.
/You already have/* */this Overcoming Power/*, */because/* the */HS lives within you/*.
*iii.
*But */you put this Power in operation/* */by FAITH/*.
*3.
**/EPH 3:17/*
*a.
*In this V */Paul/* is */dealing with/* a */foundation/*.
*b.
/Jesus dwells/* (or is at */home in our hearts/*), */but you need roots that are grounded/* (or */Established/*) */that will keep the house from falling over/*.
*i.
/What we need to be rooted and grounded in is Love/*.
*4.
*(*/GAL 5:6/*) Says, “*/Faith which worketh by love/*.”
*a.
/Fear/* in the */opposite of faith/*.
*i.
*You */can’t operate in faith/* */and have fear/* in your heart.
They */nullify each other/*.
*ii.
/What is it that keeps fear away/*?
*b.
/John said/* in (*/1 JOHN 4:18/*) “*/But perfect love casteth out fear/*.”
KJV
*i.
*That’s why */faith and love go hand in hand/*.
*ii.
/Love keeps fear away/*, */and lets faith operate/*.
*II.
**/EPH 3:18/*
*A.
*In this */V/* it */refers/* to “*/All the saints/*.”
*1. *All the */saints/* are */supposed to/* “*/Know something/*.”
*a.
/What is it/* that we are */to know/*?
*2. /We are to know/* “*/What is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height/*.”
*a.
*In */studying/* this */out/*, */some Commentaries/* */says/* this */refers to/* */knowing the fullness of the love of God/*, */but/* (*/V19/*) */already talks about that/*.
*3. *As I was */reading/* */other books/* written on the book of Ephesians, 1 of them */brought out/* that “*/The breadth, and length, and depth, and height,” /**/refers to Knowing God in fullness/*.”
*a.
/Knowing God/* */in fullness/* would */mean/* */Knowing Him personally/* */and/* */knowing about Him/*, */which would mean/* */KNOWING HIS WORD/*.
*B.
**/EPH 3:19/*
*1. /Here/* he tells us that we */also/* need to */know/* “*/The Love of Christ/*.”
*a.
*He says that */we are to/* */know the love of Christ/* */which/* “*/Passeth knowledge/*.”
*i.
*The word “*/Knowledge/*” here means “*/Natural Knowledge/*.”
*a.
/Knowing/* the “*/Love of Christ/*” */goes beyond natural human knowledge/*.
*i.
*The */only way/* we can */truly know/* */the Love of Christ/* */is to/* */know it by the Spirit/* of God.
*2. /Once/* */we know God personally/* */and/* */know His Word/*, */and also/* */know the love/* that */He has for us/*, then */we can be filled with the FULLNESS of GOD/*.
*a.
*The “*/Fullness of God/*” */refers/* to “*/Being filled with the presence/*, */power/*, */and/* */riches of God and of Christ/*.
*i.
*“*/Riches/*” */Spiritually and Naturally/*, which */also means/* the */Blessings of God/*.
*C.
**/EPH 3:20/*
*1. /Sometimes/* we get the */thought in our mind/* that the */problem/* that */we’re going through/* is */so bad/* that it’s really going to */take a fantastic miracle/* of God */to get/* us */out/* of this problem.
*a.
/Our thinking/* is that “*/This 1 is going to be more difficult for God/*.”
*i.
*This */short circuits our faith/*.
*ii.
*The */bigger the problem is/* */the more we think that God is not going to come through/*, */or/* */we don’t have the faith/* */to believe God/* */will perform/* the */miracle/* that we need.
*b.
/James tells us/* in (*/James 1:6-7/*) that */we need to ask in faith/*, */or/* we will */not receive anything/* from the Lord.
*i.
/A major miracle/* is */no more difficult for God/* */than/* */healing a hang nail/*.
*ii.
/Nothing is to difficult for God/*.
