5 Are you Ready?

6 Part of Paul's prayer for the Believer's in Eph 3 16-21; was to for them to be ready by having the "At home residence of TLJC" in their hearts.

7 Eph 3:17;

8 Col 1:27;

9 2Cor 13:5;

10- Today we are going to consider Paul's prayer for believers to have the " At-Home-Residence of Christ" which is described in (Eph 3:17 ; because this is how the believer is prepared to deal with life in the kosmos in time Phil 4:13; Gal 2:20; Phil 1:21;

11- as well as being prepared to meet TLJC face to face in eternity. 1Thes 4:17;

12- A modified and expanded translation of Eph 3:17;
"So that Christ may reside at home [Greek: katoikeo] in your stream-of-consciousness [Greek: "kardia" the plural is used here] by means of doctrine [most importantly metabolized mystery doctrine], you, having been rooted and established in love."

13-Christ at home in the the soul means: He is "free" to reside and circulate through all seven compartments of the stream-of-consciousness or the "rooms" of the right lobe of the soul, called the kardia or "the heart."

14 These compartments of the soul are the vocabulary storage, categorical storage, frame of reference, memory center, conscience, momentum and wisdom compartments.
