On Sunday mornings prior to the prophecy update, we're going through the epistle to the Ephesians,

chapter by chapter and verse by verse. And today our text will be chapter 3, verses 16 through 19.

We ask you to stand if you're able. You can follow along. If not, that's all right where you're seated.

Beginning in verse 16, the apostle Paul,

by the Holy Spirit, is writing. And he says, I pray that out of his glorious riches, he may

strengthen you with power through his spirit in your inner being so that verse 17

christ may dwell in your hearts through faith and i pray that you being rooted and established in love may have power together with all the Lord's

holy people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and verse 19 to know this love that surpasses knowledge

that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Wow. What a prayer. Oh my goodness. Why don't we pray and we'll ask God's

blessing on our time together.

Loving Heavenly Father, thank you so much. Thank you for this portion that we have before us today here in your word.

Thank you for the Holy Spirit that gives us eyes of understanding to see what it is that you desire to reveal to us today here in your word.

Lord, we need for you at this time to get our attention as only you can and keep our attention undivided

so that we can focus clearly without distraction on that which you would desire to minister to us today.

Lord, as we quiet our hearts, we ask you to speak into our lives.

Speak, Lord.

Your servants are listening.

And we ask this in Jesus' name.

Amen.

You can be seated. Thank you so much.

Oh, thank you so much.

Yeah. So here, there we go. Thank you. All right.
