Supernatural Life

“...so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love...” Eph. 3:17

This was Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians, people who already had Christ in their hearts in the sense that they believed in Him. Yet, Paul prayed Christ would dwell in their hearts.The apostle desired that they would know a constant, refreshing fellowship with their Savior. He wanted them to set their affections fully on Christ, to be influenced by Him, to delight in their relationship with Him, to experience His fullness in them.

It sounds as if first-century Christian living was not much different from today. Don’t you agree? Some individuals know Jesus as Savior, but are missing out on the joy and privileges that knowledge should bring. The deficiency in many believers’ lives is due certainly to no lack of effort on their part. Indeed, the frustration that comes when there is lack of spiritual growth can be excruciatingly painful.

Why do I always seem to fail God? Hidden here in one of the apostle Paul’s many prayers is the solution for those who feel they live a deficient Christian experience.

“...that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man...” Eph. 3:16

Begin today to ask your Helper, the Spirit of God, to control your life. Yours can be a supernatural life.
