The Daily Word of Righteousness
In My Father's House, #8
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, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:16-19)
Part of the grace given us through the Lord Jesus Christ is composed of the special leadings and revelations the Lord gives us, strengthening us and providing direction.
Part of that grace is the trials and tribulations carefully arranged by the Father to press us into Christ and to teach us obedience to Himself.
Part of that grace is the body and blood of Christ that fill our inner man with the very Substance and Nature of Christ Himself.
Part of the Divine grace that prepares us to be a room in the Father's House is the Holy Spirit. He is our Comforter. He dwells eternally in us, strengthening the inner man, forming Christ in us, preparing us so we may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Part of the Divine grace given to us is the ministries and gifts from the ascended Christ that build us up into the Head, into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
In order that He may find rest in us and we may find rest in Him, the Father has freely given to us through Christ all things necessary for life and godly behavior.
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: (II Peter 1:3)
The Son has been prepared. Now we are being prepared as the new creation is coming forth in us.
At a time of His own choosing Christ opens in us a gaping wound and then presses that wound against the wound in His own heart. Then the grafting tape is wrapped around to hold us to Christ until the Life from the Vine begins to flow in us.
In this manner Christ prepares a place for each of us in Himself.
Are you being prepared today to abide in Christ forever, and He in you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:3)
Perhaps one could think of the above passage as referring to the second coming of the Lord to the earth. No doubt the visible return of Christ is included here. But the remainder of the chapter suggests that the coming-again spoken of is the coming of Jesus to us as an individual in order to prepare us to enter Him, and Him to enter us, for eternity (compare John 14:18-23).
To be continued.
