And to know the love of Christ; which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians, Chapter 3, verses 19-21.
I was concerned that this passage might be one that people who focus on using “the god power within them” might use to support their belief in this erroneous concept. This passage has listed Colossians, Chapter 1, verse 29 as a cross-reference. It is really helpful to read this for clarification of what the passage in Ephesians really means.
Whereunto I also labour, striving according to His working, which worketh in me mightily. Colossians, Chapter 1, verse 29.
These two passages aren’t talking about using “the god power within me” to acquire the things you wish to attain or to accomplish. What this is talking about, from what I understand, is that God works through us for His glory when we are the examples He wants us to be. An illustration might be that we are there to support a friend or a co-worker who is at a major turning point in their life. God was there working through us by our example. He was there through our support, our comforting words and our telling them of how our faith in God gets us through the tough times. He works through us in our explanation of the positive impact that God has had on our lives.
Being an Instrument Christian that God can use to touch the lives of others is a wonderful experience! God works through different people in different ways, just like the passage I wrote about earlier that says God gives us each different types of gifts to glorify Him. (Paraphrased)
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
