Just Enough

Jesus makes us new

‍

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Ephesians 3:14-21 (ESV)

‍

The danger is not in asking for too much, but settling for less

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”

Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)

‍

16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 “so that”, “in order that” Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.”  

Ephesians 3:16-17 (NIV)

‍

When you limit the Spirit’s access in your life, you limit the Spirit’s power in your life

‍

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love (Christ’s love),18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”

Ephesians 3:17-19 (NIV)
