Unleashed: The Power Within - week three


Ephesians 3:20
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Ephesians was written by Paul to strengthen the believers at Ephesus in their Christian faith. Paul describes the nature and appearance of the church and he challenges believers to function as the living body of Christ on earth.

In Ephesians 3:14-21 Paul is challenging them to live close to Christ (this is Paul's prayer for Spiritual Empowering) and then breaks into spontaneous praise. Verse 20 is a verse of praise for God's power that works in us. God's power in us is able to accomplish far more than we could ask or do ourselves.

Think of those times in your life you were at a place that you needed God's power and you didn't think you could do something. Did you do it? I believe you did with God's power that works in us each and every day.

Think about the words "through His mighty power at work within us", His power is at work in us through our daily relationship with him. He will give us what we need to do to fulfill that which he has called and purposed for us. Just as He gave Moses what he needed to bring the people out of Egypt He will give us the power we need to spread His word and His love.

Do you believe His power is at work in you????

Love In Christ !
