• There are three keys that God wants to do In Us!
1. The greatest work God wants to do in your life is in you.
The inner work is top priority to God in your life.
Matthew 23:27-28 “For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity. Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.” (NLT)
Strengthen - "Kratos" which means ruling power, the word is talking about dominion.

What dominates you more than anything else?
2. It is what He does in us that releases Him to work through us.
Dwell - to make himself at home, to be at home in your life.
Whatever is rooted in you will eventually grow out of you.

What God tells you is that you will get your strength from knowing that you are deeply loved by God.
JOB 11:7 "Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens--what can you do? They are deeper than the depths of the grave--what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.” (NIV)
God wants you to have a firm grip on His love.
What foundation are you standing on?
Who’s love are you grasping for?
3. God wants to release power in our lives that is not of this world.
Vs. 20-21 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”
