Oh, what a might! Oh, what a strength

Being Enlightened to See the Eternal Things
------------------------------
Scripture Reading: Eph. 1:3, 13-14, 17-23:

Verses 19 through 23 continue, “And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength, which He caused to operate in Christ in raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenlies, far above all rule and authority and power and Lordship and every name that is named not only in this age but also in that which is to come; and He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all. ” Have we ever thanked and praised the Lord for the fourfold power mentioned in these verses? Instead, we may have thanked the Lord for a good husband or wife, children, a job, a house, a car, or a college degree. We need to pray according to the prayer that the apostle Paul prayed in these verses, saying, “O Lord, I thank You not merely for the outward things but for the power toward us that operated in raising You from the dead, seating You at the right hand in the heavenlies far above all, subjecting all things under Your feet, and giving You to be Head over all things to the church. ” The reason we may not pray in this way is that we are blind to the eternal things. Behind our veil we may be able to see only a graduate degree, wife, husband, child, car, job, or house. We may not have seen the things beyond the veil. The veil must be taken away so that the eyes of our inner understanding may be enlightened to thoroughly see through to the eternal things in the heavenlies, including the hope of God’s calling, the riches of the glory of God’s inheritance in His saints, and the fourfold power that is toward us. When we see these matters, we will say, “Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! ”

IX. TRANSMITTING TO US THE
POWER WHICH HE CAUSED
TO OPERATE IN CHRIST
-------------------------------------------

When God the Father transmits Himself to us, He transmits to us the power which He caused to operate in Christ. Ephesians 1:19-20 say, “And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength, which He caused to operate in Christ in raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenlies. ” The power of God toward the believers is the surpassingly great power according to the operation of the might of His strength, which He caused to operate in Christ. Therefore, God’s power toward us is the same as the power that He caused to operate in Christ. Christ is the Head and we believers are His Body. The Body participates in all the power that the Head experienced.

Amen. Lavdi Perendise ne jete te jeteve.

With ALL the Saints we can know and apprehend ALL the vast dimensions of God!

Oh, what a breadth! Oh, what a length!
The height, the depth unsearchable!
Christ the Lord is unlimited,
So vast, immense, immeas’rable.
All that He is and all He has
Is now our life unspeakable.
