You Too Can Prophesy! - Saturday, April 4th . 

Pastor Chris 

Follow after love, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy (1 Corinthians 14:1). 

The gift of prophecy isn't just for pastors, prophets, evangelists and apostles; it's for the Church! Every Christian ought to prophesy. Moses, in the Old Testament understood the power and importance of prophecy and wished that all of God's children prophesied (Numbers 11:29). 

However, if you're born again and have received the Holy Spirit, you've received the divine enablement and the inspiration to prophesy. To prophesy is to speak forth the Word of God in power, whether by foretelling future events, or as a word of power to cause a change in the now! 

The Bible says, "...he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church" (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). When you declare the mind of God in prophecy, others are edified, strengthened, and comforted. So you see, prophecy doesn't make one a "spiritual detective" to fish out brethren who are supposedly not living right; it's for the edification of the Body of Christ. This is why you must desire to prophesy, for the words you speak forth in prophecy will build fellow believers. 

Moreover, with the gift of prophecy, you can chart your course in perpetual victory and triumph. You can prophesy your way out of any trouble. Ezekiel was brought before a valley of dry bones where the Lord asked him, "Can these bones live?" That was an impossible situation, but the Lord said to him, "Prophesy to these bones". As soon as Ezekiel complied, a great miracle took place; the bones came together, every bone to its bone (Ezekiel 37:7). 

This lets you know what God expects: that you prophesy your way out of any negative situation. Don't let the challenges you face drown your faith; prophesy your health, success, prosperity and victory. Perhaps you were told it's only one of your kidneys that's working right; or that one of your lungs has failed; refuse to be dismayed; don't panic. Prophesy! Through prophecy, the dead one, like those "dry bones", will come back alive! Halleluiah! 

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for your word of power that's in my heart, and in mouth even now! I'm moving forward by the power of the Holy Spirit, making progress with giant strides, and waxing stronger every day, in health, prosperity, and success, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Joel 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: ; 

1 Thessalonians 5:20
Despise not prophesyings. ; 

Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Christianity Etc › Re: Understanding The Meaning Of Christ's Dead On The Cross. by Gombs(m): 7:34am On Apr 03, 2015
Alexk2:
Understanding_The_Death_Of_Jesus_Christ.

One way to understand the meaning of the death of Jesus is to imagine a courtroom scene in which we are on trial for our sins and God is the judge. Our sins against God are capital crimes. God Himself is our judge, and according to divine law our crimes deserve the death penalty. Death, in a spiritual sense, means eternal separation from God in unending torment. That's a very serious judgment. By shedding His blood on the cross, Jesus took the punishment we deserve and offered us His righteousness. When we trust Christ for our salvation, essentially we are making a trade. By faith, we trade our sin and its accompanying death penalty for His righteousness and life.

This is the central message of the cross and the reason for our hope: God forsook His Son so that He might never forsake us. God assures us, "'I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you" ( Hebrews 13:5). Isn't that a wonderful promise?
I find it difficult to assimilate the above claim, mostly because of the semantics.

You said we were 'essentially were making a trade'

With what exactly? Bible said we were useless to God, yet He sent Jesus to pay for our sin, when we get born again, what we essentially did was to identify with Him, and consequently to do His bidding.

In all, nice write up

Salvation Through His Blood - Friday, April 3rd . 

Pastor Chris 

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace (Ephesians 1:7). 

The blood of Jesus was shed for us, first, for the remission of sins, and secondly, that we may have life. His blood was divine, and through Him, not only have we obtained remission of sins, we've also received justification for the life that He's given to us. Our salvation came from His blood. That's why it was possible for us to be born again. Christ has been sacrificed for us, and in Him, we're given a new life; a life that's superior to Satan, death, hell, and the grave. 

There's no destruction for the child of God! God told the children of Israel, "When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and you'll be shielded from the destroyer..." (Exodus 12:13). It doesn't matter in what way the destroyer tries to attack you, whether he comes to attack you with poverty, sickness, disease or infirmity of any kind, you're shielded; he'll not come into your house! You've passed from death unto life. 

See, and appreciate your real value in the price that God paid for your salvation! You're worth the blood of Jesus Christ. You've become one with God, not because of what you did, but because of what Jesus did. The old religious thinking that God is so great while we're nothing before Him, is a lie of the devil. If you were nothing, He wouldn't pay for your salvation with the blood of Jesus Christ. The price He paid to save you shows how valuable you are: "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold...But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" (1 Peter 1:18-19). 

Prayer...
Dear Lord, thank you for the precious blood of your Son, Jesus Christ. Having been justified by His blood, eternal life is mine. His blood, which was poured out for remission of sins gives me the right to a life of glory, peace, and dominion. I celebrate my treasured salvation, consummated by the blood of Christ, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. ;

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Restitution is a confirmation of salvation,
Wrong. No biblical proof, just mere assumptions.

it breaks the power of sin over that guys life.
Very wrong again. Believing in Jesus' sacrifice for one is enough. Actually more than enough to break the power of sin.

Ephesians 2:5 KJV
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are savedwink



It will help to clear his conscience,
Not necessarily. For example, what if he killed for a living? How does he restitute? If he can't, are you saying he won't have a clear conscience? And hence, the power of sin is not broken?

Col 1:21-22 KJV
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

22 In the body of his flesh through death,
to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:


cos if his conscience is not clear with Man and God (Acts 24:16), the power of sin is still over his life and it [b]won't give him right standing before God.
Wrong again. Righteousness was imputed to us the moment we got born again. We did, and can do nothing to earn it on our own. One's conscience is based on what he's taught about right and wrong.

For example, if a child is trained to kill all thieves, the moment he grows up to be a man, and finds a thief, and doesn't kill him, his conscience will prick him, for not
"Doing the right thing"

Our Conscience must be clear before we go to God, and if its not clear, the devil will keep accusing the guy.
The devil accuses all believers. He is the accuser of the brethren. Remember, Jesus said, come to me all ye that are heavy laden, an I will give you rest".

Mathew 5:23-24, Proverbs 6:30-31. The most important thing is to have a clear conscience. His own case is not a case of restitution I think, he cheated and he should ask for forgiveness, since he didn't impersonate or steal someone else result, he should ask for mercy. But Brother in any other case, RESTITUTION is a must.
Your opinion does not and cannot and will not supersede that ofbhe Bible. You evidently cannot show me where it is compulsory in the Bible.

Powered From Within - Thursday, April 2nd . 

Pastor Chris 

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you...(Acts 1:8 ). 

As a new creation in Christ Jesus, inherent in you is the dynamic ability to cause changes. This power became resident in you upon receiving the Holy Spirit; it doesn't need to be replenished by any outside force. We see this in the life of Jesus. Throughout His earthly ministry, He never once prayed to the Father to grant Him power; He was powered from within by the Holy Spirit! The same goes for us today. 

The power of God is in your spirit; you received this power into you when you received the Holy Spirit. When Jesus said you shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you, He meant inherent power - "dunamis" (Greek). What He actually said was, "And you shall receive "dunamis" (inherent power) after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you". What is "dunamis?" 

It's where the English gets the word "dynamo"; an electric generator. It converts mechanical power to electrical power, which causes further mechanical activity, continuing the circle. So when Jesus said, "You shall receive dunamis", He meant that you'd receive inherent power that never runs dry, when you receive the Holy Spirit. You don't need to pray to God for more power. Some Christians pray, "O God, give me more power". That's unscriptural. He already gave you all the power you require. He expects you to use that power to make your life glorious. 

After receiving the Holy Spirit, and all through His three years of earthly ministry, the Lord Jesus never once prayed to God for more power. He functioned in this inherent power. You can put this power to work anywhere, anytime, to change anything and bring forth prosperity, health, solutions and new ideas! 2 Corinthians 4:7 says, "...we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us". There's power in you for a daily life of triumph, limitless possibilities, and unparalleled advantages. 

CONFESSION 

I'm full of God's might! I function by His power and glory today, full of the Spirit in wisdom, having spiritual understanding of all things! I'm powered by the Holy Ghost and on a perpetual victory parade, excelling and making progress consistently! I receive unparalleled advantages, unprecedented favour and prosperity, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

They teach that spirit,is just 'breath',life activating 'force','energy' that just ceases upon death. Am taking this battle to their doorstep. Supposing there is no soul/spirit and at death you cease to exist, your memories,emotions save your body,which also with time disintegrates into the elements. Supposing they are right.

What does that make of their resurrection but a recreation of beings that had NOTHING to do with the 'original' you?
God recreates men only to destroy them in hell over things they never did! How do you punish a brand new creature over sins committed thousands of years ago by a man who lived,died,ceased to exist, a man you have never met and here Jehovah is accusing you of his sins? cool

Edify Yourself! - Tuesday, March 31st

Pastor Chris

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself...(1 Corinthians 14:4).

As a Christian, when you speak in tongues, you edify yourself; that means you "embolden" yourself. This is the antidote for timidity and fear! It’s something you can, and should do for yourself from time to time; building your spirit strong by speaking in tongues. It’ll transform you automatically from being a weak, fearful person, to a bold, confident, and courageous person!

The Bible says, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). Thanks be unto God, for giving us the key to maintaining boldness and dominion at all times, even in the face of staggering oppositions, through speaking in tongues.

If it ever looks as though fear is creeping into your heart, or you’re feeling nervous about something, speak in tongues! As you do, your faith will rise, and fear will dissipate. Jude 1:20 says, "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost."

There’re times you might experience difficulty in remembering things; speak in tongues. The reason is that your spirit doesn’t forget anything; the information is in your spirit, so when you stir your spirit, the answer will pop up!

Don’t take speaking in tongues lightly, for it produces divine energy that repels fear, and confounds the enemy. It emboldens you and imparts courage to your spirit. It produces in you, a sense of mastery and dominion over adversities; it’s a "spirit-to-Spirit" communication that energizes you from within. Practise speaking in tongues regularly; it’s the fastest way to activate your spirit, and energize yourself for victory.

Confession...
I’m full of the Holy Ghost! And as I speak in tongues today, I’m edified, and my spirit is conditioned to receive guidance and light from the Lord! I’m strengthened and fortified to do the things of God, and exercise dominion over circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

further study:
1 Corinthians 14:14-15;
14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.

Jude 1:20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Living in the Supernatural- Monday, March 30th

Pastor Chris 

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Peter 1:4).

In Christ Jesus, we have the transcendent life; a life of glory, virtue, and excellence. It's a daily experience of the miraculous, and walk in the supernatural. Jesus proved that this is possible. When He walked the earth, He was one hundred per cent man and one hundred per cent God. He manifested the divine life, and the supernatural was His daily walk. 

As Christians, we're partakers of His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4); as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). Therefore, like Him, we're called to live perpetually in the supernatural, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Paul said in Colossians 1:29, "Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily". There's an ability working in you, and that ability is supernatural! That means your physical ability should no longer dictate or determine how much you can do; no limitations for you anymore! 

Recall how Samson defeated one thousand trained soldiers of war with the jawbone of an ass. The Spirit of God came on him, and he was divinely enabled for the supernatural. With us, it's even better, because the Holy Spirit lives in us. That means our potentials are limitless. 

The Bible says, "Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God" (2 Corinthians 3:5). God's supernatural ability is at work in you to enable you to achieve results that can't be humanly explained.

Take advantage of the divine ability that's at work in you; 2 Corinthians 4:7 says, "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us". We actually don't have any excuse but to live triumphantly every day! Jesus did everything that was required for us to live in the supernatural, every day!

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for making me a champion and a victor forever! My spirit, soul, and body are under the dominion of your Word, and the influence of your Spirit! Your righteousness is unveiled through me today; I manifest the Christ-life, reigning and ruling over circumstances, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

A friend to one of my close friends ( please this is not a made up story ) has been in dilemma for a couple of days now .He had been looking for a job for four years and recently gave his life to Christ.

Upon seeking spiritual intervention, he was asked to return his WAEC certificate to which he admitted he cheated as he did the exams in a miracle center and was helped in all subjects he took.

He however stopped any form of cheating when he got to the university and did all his Exams following rules and regulations earning him a 2: 1degree.The Man of God however insisted he got his WAEC result through forgery and cheating and must return the certificate back.

Now the question he is asking is Since he has asked for forgiveness and Is sincerely regretted his actions is there need to restitute or return back the certificate ?? How is he going to get a job without it?? is it biblical stated?? Pls help !!
Tell your friend Jesus is not mad at his past error. Restitution is not a must. That Pastor should mind what he says. PM me for more details.

Eternal Life - A Promise Fulfilled! - Sunday, March 29th . 

Pastor Chris 

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour (Titus 1:2-3). 

The Bible says, "...all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us" (2 Corinthians 1:20). The eternal life that He promised before the world began was fulfilled when Christ came: "For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us" (1 John 1:2). 

Jesus came to do much more than die for our sins; His death was a means to an end: to give us eternal life - God-life. We've become partakers of the divine nature - associates of the God-kind (2 Peter 1:4). In 1 John 5:13, the Apostle John writes, "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life..." Eternal life isn't something you'll have in the sweet by-and-by; it's a promise fulfilled. It's the possession of the one who believes in Jesus Christ, being a gift from God: "...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). 

Eternal life has come! Once, it was a promise, a hope afar off, but Christ has died; Christ is risen, and we were raised together with Him to a newness of life. He's brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). This is what excites us to preach the Gospel, and tell men and women about Jesus. He came, not just to save humanity from sin, but also to give us eternal life - the God-life. True Christianity is the pulsating life of Christ in a human person; it's the revelation of eternal life. 

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for the privilege granted me to make the Gospel known to those in my world and the regions beyond! I declare that as many as hear the Gospel today, their hearts will be open to receive, and their minds able to understand, accept and live by your message of life, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

See, And Become! - Saturday, March 28th . 

Pastor Chris 

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18). 

Our opening verse describes the glory that comes from the Word of God. This glory is in the realm of the spirit; the realm we were born into as Christians. It's the same realm that Jesus passed into after His resurrection; it's a real place and we live there now. It's a realm of glory and through meditation on the Word, we're catapulted to that realm; the Word of God delivers that glory to us, and brings us into the glory. 

As we look into the mirror of God, which is the Word, we're "transfigured" into the same image of God's glory that we see in the Word. The more you look, the more you're changed. How do you look into the Word? It's not by leafing through the pages of the Bible as you would a newspaper; it's through intense study and meditation. Through meditation, the Word takes root in your spirit, and becomes one with your spirit; it creates a picture in your mind; the image of God's glory. Thus, it matters what you see, when you "look" into the mirror of God. 

For example, the Word says you're the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; let that be what you see. See yourself as the justified one; the one who's been declared "not guilty!" 1 Corinthians 6:11 says, "...but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." See yourself as such! 

Keep talking the Word, regardless of circumstances. The Word in your mouth will grow mightily and prevail over adversities. That's the glory of the Word. As you meditate on the Word and speak it forth, you transcend to the realm of glory, where you view life from the mountain top, seeing only possibilities. 

Remember, you're triumphant in Christ Jesus; you've already overcome all things; the whole world is yours. Stay your mind on these realities from God's Word. See yourself in health, wealth and prosperity. Halleluiah!

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for the glory in your Word, which is evident in my life. I'm making progress in life, and winning every day. I have the mind-set of a champion, and the wisdom of God mantles my heart, evident in the excellence of my words and actions today, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. ; 

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ; 

James 1:23-25
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Wise words buddy!

But these set of folk? Hmmmm... Wait for them to attack you instead of the message.

These set of folks have a concise idea on how the Church of God ought to be like...yet, all they can do is talk, and write, and talk some more... No action whatsoever. Like you said (I've said it for a million times now), the real job is outside, folks perishing, yet these lot (true gospel preachers) DO NOT make any conscious move to preach Christ, or win souls.

I asked a fella here whether he can present to God just 3 soul he's won to Christ this year alone... If they win souls, they'd have been wise, the good book said so.

God bless you jare

The aim is not to deceive. The aim is to end your church's deceit on young minds. It is to enlighten Christians. It is to point out the wolves.

Coming soon...

Glorified! - Friday, March 27th . 

Pastor Chris 

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified (Romans 8:29-30). 

The latter part of our opening scripture doesn't say, "...whom he justified, them shall he glorify"; rather, it says, "...them he also glorified"; He's already done it. There're Christians who are reaching out for the glory, always praying and asking for the glory of God to come down. Sometimes, in a service, a singer could even be called to sing, in order "to bring the glory down". They fail to realize that the one who's born again is born into the glory of God. 

We're the Church of Jesus Christ, and the Lord Jesus has given us the glory: "And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one" (John 17:22). So, you don't need anyone to bring the glory down. You've been glorified. 

Imagine you were in a room or outside somewhere, and someone said, "Let's bring air into this place"; that wouldn't make sense. However, some people may start looking out for where the air is going to come in through, but the truth is, they had been breathing the air all the while, even though they might not have been conscious of it. 

Now that we're used to certain things, like air, it doesn't mean we should no longer be conscious of their reality. But blessed be God! The glory of God in us isn't such that we can ignore. That glory is in our spirit; it increases as we pray, study, and meditate on the Word of God. You've been glorified. Therefore, walk in the glory; live in the consciousness of who you are in Christ! 

Prayer...
Dear heavenly Father, I celebrate your glory and presence in my life! I live triumphantly, knowing that nothing is impossible to me, and that all things are working together for my good, because I love you and I'm called according to your purpose. I've got the advantage, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. ;

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. ;

2 Peter 1:3
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Will it really be necessary to have a debate on those kind of topics
Yeah, we are the restraining force of evil in NL. If we don't debate, he'd successfully deceive a few more, who will deceive further.

Benny Hinn has been treated, is under observation and in two weeks will be discharged from the hospital. He never spoke against medical science and he never tried to hide his illness, instead he solicited for prayers.

And yes he shared his testimony of the healing hand of God and medicine in his life.
Thank you very much.

Love's Call, The Greatest Call! - Thursday, March 26th . 

Pastor Chris 

And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13). 

I once listened to a dear minister of God preach and during the course of her teaching, she made a statement that has stayed with me for so long. She said, "Lord Jesus, I have nothing to give you but my love". I thought, "What could be better than that?" What else could we give Him, but our love! 

In Proverbs 23:26, the Lord said, "My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways." That's what He's asking for; nothing could be better to give Him, than your love. This is so important, because it's all you need to do His work. Your love for Him will propel you to live for Him and fulfil His call on your life. The question is, "Do you love Jesus?" If you do, whether or not you heard a voice "calling" you into the ministry, makes no difference. What will count with God is how much you love Him, and what that love propels you to do to the glory of His name. 

If you preach the Gospel, for example, and you feel you aren't "called" into the ministry, look into your heart; do you love the Lord? If you do, then it means you already heeded love's call, and that's the greatest call. If the devil tries to make you feel you're not called, you declare, "I love the Lord, and I follow Him, because I love Him". That will paralyze Satan right away, because he can't stand love. 

You can never love Him and fail. It's not possible. Your love for the Master is guaranteed to always win. Practise loving Jesus. Protect your love for Him and keep it aflame all the time. Love can be quenched; so make sure you stir your love and passion for Him in a way that nothing and no one can dissipate it. 

Prayer...
Dear Lord, I love you with all my heart, and I thank you for the privilege and blessing of serving you and living for you! Nothing compares to the extraordinary love-union and oneness that I share with you, and for this, I'm eternally grateful! I'm propelled and compelled by your love to keep establishing your righteousness in the earth, and in the hearts of men, in Jesus' Name. Amen. 

Further Study:
Ephesians 3:14-19
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
