Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart

Ephesians 3:16-17, “That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,”

To be strengthened into your inner man is to be strengthened into your spirit (2 Cor. 4:16).

When you touch your spirit and experience the strengthening, the purpose of this is that Christ would move into your heart.

And He does not take several months to move in.

He immediately moves in and occupies every “room” of your heart.

So when you are strengthened into your spirit, you begin to handle Christ as the One who has made His home in your heart.

As you are in spirit, He is in your whole heart as the “Head of the household.”

This is how He is in us.

As the Head He says, “This is My house. Everything about you belongs to Me.

I give the orders here.

I am doing the talking.

I am going to supply.

I am going to provide.

I am going to do everything here.”

Let Him make home in your heart.

Christ making home in our hearts is not a gradual process.

Paul uses the Greek aorist tense for the infinitive “to make home” or “to dwell.”

This means it is an instantaneous action.

He just comes in and takes up His residence in every part of your heart as the Head of the household.

He is doing everything.

You refer everything to Him.

He is Head of your house.

You do not make the decisions there.

From now on, He is going to tell you what to do.

Until Tomorrow

With A Shepherd’s Love,

Pastor Jackson
