Ephesians 3:20-21
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
God is not just able to do beyond what we ask, but immeasurably beyond, but even that is not enough, He is able to do far more abundantly beyond what we ask.
Now, what is it that you need?
I want to encourage you to pray in faith, asking God to do far beyond all that we can ask or think.
Here are four ways to apply these wonderful verses:
FIRST: don’t be guilty of not having because you haven’t asked. God says (Ps. 81:10), “I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide and I will fill it.”
So, open wide! Ask!
SECOND: don’t’ be guilty of not having because you doubt God’s ability or His willingness to give.
Nothing is impossible with God! As the loving Father, He will give good gifts to His children who ask (Matt. 7:11).
We can’t always understand His purposes, but we never should doubt His ability or His goodness towards us.
THIRD: don’t be guilty of praying small prayers. Pray “big” prayers!
It is impossible to ask God for too much, assuming that it is in line with His will and for His glory. “Pray the largest prayers.
You cannot think a prayer so large that God, in answering it, will not wish you had made it larger. Pray not for crutches but for wings.”
FOURTH, pray for yourself and for this church that for His glory, God would do through us that which is humanly inexplicable.
Don’t try to scrounge up 200 denarii to barely meet the needs of the hungry multitude.
Pray for the Lord to multiply our few loaves and fishes, so that He would get all the Glory.
Pray for the powerful conversion of many sinners.
Pray for repentance and Holiness for His saints.
Pray that He will be Glorified in His church and in Christ Jesus, to all generations forever and ever. Amen!
