“having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.”

Ephesians 1:17-23 ESV

You are marked and sealed by the Holy Spirit. You have the eyes of your heart opened, you are filled with His Hope and you have significance. He leads you into deeper revelations of Jesus and the power at work within you.

“You have the power!” He-Man references aside, this passage is stacked with world changing truth. Scholars discuss how Paul uses tenses here and essentially explains that not only is there a future inheritance in glory, but there is a present power for those who believe right now.

You are chosen to walk with power from on high (Luke 24:49) and to be an instrument of God’s goodness and blessing to the world around you.

It’s a gift. And the Lord chooses to make it available to you everyday. This isn’t about being worthy or not, you’re a saint, you’re blessed, you’re loved, you’re forgiven and because Jesus is seated above all rule and authority and power and dominion; you are anointed with the Holy Spirit to see His Kingdom come in the world around you.
