Ephesians 3 v 16 is the beginning of a prayer by Paul for the saints of God so it brgins,'I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being' Now while it was meant initially for the Ephesian Christians,it is now a prayer for all Christians. He write of God's glorious riches,these glorious riches are not silver or gold ,they are spiritual riches. Paul prays that they may be strengthened with power through the Spirit in their inner being.'If we are going to experience a growing in Christ it will be by the inner indewlling of the Holy Spirit.(all Chistians have the holy Spirit)But the question is this how much has the Holy Spirit got of us?. In Ephesians 5 v18 we read 'Do not get drunk with wine, which leads to debauchery.Instead be filled with the Spirit'. This is not a word for Pentecostals but for every Christian, and again let me ask the questian,what is filling our lives,is there room for Him to work through us,or are we crowding Him out of our lives?
'Come as wisdom to Children, Come as new sight to the blind;
Come,Lord, as strength to my weakness,Take me soul,body ,
and mind.
Come,Holy Spirit, I need you, Come sweet Spirit I pray;
Come in your strength and your power ,
Come in your own gentle way.'
Words Bill Gaither.
