INTRO: We are in Ephesians 3 and we are looking at Paul's prayer for the Ephesian believers. We considered that he bowed his knees before God, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. He bowed his knees in prayer first of all that God would grant them to be strengthened with His power by His Spirit in the inner man according to the riches of His glory.
I proposed to you that God's glory is what He is. And when we recognize what He is, we are amazed and awed, and He is glorified when we recognize who He is. And that amazement and awe, I believe, is the richness of God's glory. No recognition, no riches. Little recognition, little riches. Much recognition, much riches. So if we want to be strengthened with God's power in the inner man, we must get to know God better and better.
Tozer said after writing some heavy material on the doctrine of God, "You may have a charley horse on your head for two weeks after you read this, but it's a mighty good cure for this little cheap god we have today. This little cheap god we've made up is one you can pal around with –'the man upstairs,' the fellow who helps you win baseball games. That god isn't the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He isn't the God who laid the foundations of the heaven and the earth; he's some other god. We educated Americans can create gods just the same as the heathen can" (II:7).
