We have approached it piece by piece. Some of you may have missed something, therefore, you don’t see the whole picture of what we have covered. Well, I want to put it all together. I want to review what a Spirit-filled believer is like. I want us to understand how we tap into that which we already have. You have something; how do you tap into it? How do you appropriate it? That is what the apostle Paul is telling the Ephesian church in Ephesians 3:16 through 4:16. I really believe you can understand how to appropriate what is yours in Jesus Christ if you will just listen to what we have already studied in Ephesians 3:16-4:16. Let me tell you something again about that prayer in chapter 3. The prayer from verse 14 to verse 21 of chapter 3 is a hinge that the whole book rests on. Chapters 1, 2 and 3 tell you who you are in Christ. They tell you your identity in the Lord Jesus Christ, the riches of your salvation. But chapters 4, 5 and 6 tell us about our responsibilities to Christ. Actually chapters 4, 5 and 6 would be better titled “Whose We Are in Christ.” It is one thing to know who you are. It is another thing to know whose you are. One is identity, the other is responsibility. Getting to the meat of the prayer in verse 16, he says, “that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man.” Paul is praying for the Ephesian believers that they might be strengthened with God’s power, with God’s ability. You have already received Jesus into your life. You say, “I want to walk in the fullness of what He has to offer. Where do I start?” It starts when you realize how weak you are and how desperate we all are to tap into His strength. You see, weakness is an abso­lutely necessity if you are going to be strengthened in the inner man by the Spirit of God. God will bring people and circumstances into your life that will cause you to get down on your face and say, “Oh, God, I can’t.” He says, “That’s right. I never said you could. I can. I always said I would. Now tap into Me. Appropriate what is already yours.”
