In Chandler, AZ sitting at daughter Kristin’s kitchen table feeling a little remiss for not turning out a GN for 01/11/15. 

To relieve my guilt I thought I would just share a current thought. 
The internal probing of our eternal soul is, for most of us, a life time journey. On the surface this appears to be oxymoron, a contradiction in terms. Anything “internal”  must by definition have external boundaries and not limitlessly eternal. Yet, this is the nature of contradictions that is reality for the person who is in Christ. 

Tozer is accused of being a mystic by his critics.  He understood A.W. Pink!  The evangelical community focuses on being “in Christ”  but scripture also teaches Christ being “in us”.  There is a harmonic correspondence between the new creation God plants within the believer and the eternal reality which is the Divine Nature of Himself.  Growing spiritually has to do with cultivating the esoteric spiritual union between the believer’s spirit and God through the resurrection power of Jesus Christ.  This is His Spirit joined with our spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:17, Romans 8:16. The doxology is the expression of this spiritual union.

Doing a Drill Down exercise on our Ephesian doxology may provide some clarity.  But first we must provide brief context for this scripture which is a prayer for the Ephesian church.  This extraordinary prayer requests knowledge for the dimensions of God’s love and  requests being filled with all of His fullness.  On the surface it appears to be quite impossible for the creature to be filled with all the fullness of the creator … or to have knowledge of God’s love which is obviously beyond the creature’s scope.  Implicitly this doxology speaks to the expectation of this request being realized by the recipients of God’s grace.  Imagine being able to know and understand the love of Christ and being filled with all the fullness of God!  This trail of sanctification leads to glorification.
