It's All in You!

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.
Ephesians 3:20 (NASB)

  • Paul, in this scripture, is praying that we will be strengthened through the Holy Spirit.
  • "the power that works" --the Holy Spirit, "within us" --the fact that it is mentioned plural here, means to me that it works more mightily, and is much more strong when there are more believers in the body of Christ tapping into the Holy Spirit.
  • God's greatness and His great power is far beyond comprehension. How powerful and mighty Jesus is and His great abundance, it surpasses our understanding!
  • God, our Father in Heaven, knows all and knows what is best.
  • This verse is a great encouragement for me to love and lead more people to Christ, in order that Christ's body may grow stronger and continue to grow in spirit and power.
  • Verse 17 reads: "Christ may dwell in your heart through faith" Keeping the faith strong leads to Christ living and working within us!
Dear Heavenly Father I know that You are always passionate about us, so I pray that I may never lose any of my passion for or faith in Christ, but instead, let me only increase these qualities in myself. May I be able to attract and lead others to You, Jesus, by letting the power of the Holy Spirit work in me. ~Amen
