Wow! This podcast was very humbling to me. The scriptures that our guest this week, Jamie Bateman said are encouraging her in this season are from Ephesians 3:14-19 NIV. She read how this passage talks about kneeling "in prayer to the Father and praying out of His glorious riches that he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being" (NIV). WOW! To think about HIS POWER being in you through His Spirit! This is great news!
I think you will learn more about this part of the passage from The Message Translation which says: "...I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit—not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength—that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in..." (from Ephesians 3:14-19 MSG).
Will you invite Him in?
Jamie read this verse over our guests and she read the entire passage changing you's to I's to make it more personal. Here is how she read it from the NIV translation:
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you (she said "me") with power through his Spirit in your (she said "my") inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your ("my") hearts through faith. And I pray that you (I), being rooted and established in love, 18 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, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Jamie is the Executive Director of Institutional Advancement at South Florida State College. She has a farm and she talks about her farm in the podcast ... Pretty funny! Love Jamie and her heart for God and people. I pray you all are drawn closer to Christ from this conversation.
