“WILL, I pray that out of his glorious riches he may: STRENGTHEN YOU WITH POWER through his Spirit in your inner being so that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith…I pray that you WILL, will become rooted and established in love may: HAVE POWER…TO GRASP (to eagerly take, possess, understand) how WIDE, LONG, HIGH, and DEEP is THE LOVE OF CHRIST, and to 1KNOW THIS LOVE that surpasses (goes beyond) knowledge—that you WILL, may be FILLED TO THE MEASURE of ALL the FULLNESS OF GOD.” (Ephesians 3:17-19) 1ginōskō: to “KNOW” absolutely, INTIMATELY.
WILL, there are some things in God’s word that are so very important for you to understand that the devil will do anything he can to distract you from receiving and putting into practice in your life. “Some people are like seed along the path…As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.” (Mark 4:15)
This is why Paul prays, twice in this passage, that you WILL, would have power to understand what the Lord is inspiring Paul to impart to you. First of all, that Jesus Christ would dwell in your heart through faith. Secondly, that you would be able to grasp the width, length height and depth of the love of Christ and know with intimate knowledge, this love. What this will do is allow you to be COMPLETELY FILLED with ALL OF GOD’S FULLNESS. This will be so important for you WILL, because the Lord has a work for you to do…
