God,s Intent - According To Apostle Paul

Paul wrote a letter to the church of the Ephesians to enlighten them of the intent of God. In this letter Paul wrote, Ephesians 3:10,11 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
ch.11 according to His eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Paul then went on to intercede for the Ephesian church in prayer before the Lord, Ephesians 3:16-21, "I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being.
ch.17 So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, and I pray that you being rooted and established in love,
ch.18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
ch.19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
ch.20 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,
ch.21 to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.
