Reception
Ephesians 1:17-19 New English Translation
17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, will give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him, 18 —since the eyes of your heart have been enlightened—so that you can know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe, as displayed in the exercise of his immense strength.
Availability to learn and to obey is a gift that is fully complete
Just accept it and slowly digest the understanding of being free
When the new Spirit is received at the time of regeneration
He awaits the development of functions that were dormant for so long
Why did I think, that the “me”, who was raised, into salvation
Was not dead at all, but already complete and mature all along
Frequency in expression representing God’s attributes
Does not really mean we can at all comprehend them
We often talk like experts about the things we don’t know
And vaguely come across somehow as puppets in a show
Real spiritual potency contains this revelation
The Spirit of God makes so much known to us
All the things we need to know to be an effective witness
Just to show that we are here to the Glory of God’s name
