REV. EMMANUEL KONEY EPHESIANS 10 Periodically there are statements made in the Word of the Lord which are measureless and boundless in their scope. Eph. 1:19 is one of them. For instance what limitations may we place on “exceeding greatness.” Greatness, in itself speaks of something that is immeasurable. Then to produce a force that surpasses greatness and that is to a boundless degree. There can only be one source of such supernatural power and that is to be found in the Lord. The thrilling part of all that, is that, if we can see the purpose of the Lord in such a mighty display of power then we can recognize that it is directed toward His church, those who believe His Word.. Naturally, if we do not believe it, then most certainly we will not receive it, for that mighty force is directed toward the believer. It is a creative, motivating, life giving power. It is not dormant but produces activity and manifestations of the Spirit when it is present. There is no limit to what we can be when His power is present and alive in us. That mighty force was demonstrated in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Eph. 1:20 If there was a warfare over the body of Moses. Jude 9. How much greater was the conflict when Christ was raised form the dead. The roiling back of the stone from the entrance of His tomb caused what is termed to be a great earthquake. To show the dominance of the Lord, the angel of the Lord (the Lord Jesus), sat on it as a display of victory. Mt. 28:2 This power that exceeds greatness should be the normal experience of every member of the body of Christ. The very fact that He has brought us out of spiritual death into the new life that is found in Christ assures us of a future resurrection of the body. However, even now, we are tightly associated with the resurrection of Christ for the Apostle wrote that we have been raise together with Him. Currently we are seated together with Him and may enjoy the blessings and power of heavenly places. What has been purchased and promise to us is exceedingly beyond what we are practicing and living today. The key to the fullness of the life of Christ is “together.” He wants His people to know that we are not walking alone but He is leading us and is ready to let us know that we share and share alike when we are “in Christ.” Eph. 2:5-6 The negative factor here is that we do not believe therefore we do not receive. An apostate church, to maintain a spiritual appearance, will substitute man organized means and methods trying to maintain an appearance of having the life of Christ. A living church in constant contact with Him will demonstrate the real power and glory of the Spirit. 1 Cor. 2:4 According to His promises the manifestation of the exceeding great power and glory of the Lord should be demonstrated constantly, when we are together with Him.
