The Power at Work within Us

September 12

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably [“exceeding abundantly” KJV] more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.(Ephesians 3:20)

Many of us have heard this verse so many times that we think we know it. Yet I don’t believe we really understand what it is saying:

“According to his power [or potential] that is at work”—where? It doesn’t say His power is at work in heaven. It says it is at work in us! God put His vision and His Spirit within us, and that is more than enough potential for our needs.

What are the implications of this truth? It means that what you are able to accomplish has nothing to do with who your parents were. It has nothing to do with your past or with physical factors such as your race or appearance. Instead, it has to do with “his power” working within you.

This Scripture changed my life at a point when I wasn’t manifesting much of my purpose. I was brought up with the religious idea that you receive only what you ask for. Consequently, I didn’t receive much. Then I came to understand that God never promised to give me merely what I

asked for. Instead, He said something truly extraordinary: He will do “immeasurably” or “exceeding abundantly” beyond all that I can ask for, think about, or imagine. Once I grasped this truth, it began to transform my perspective. It enabled me to progress from the knowledge of my purpose to the faith that accompanies vision.

Prayer: Father, what an amazing promise You have given us! You will do more than we can ask or imagine through the power of the Holy Spirit within us. Thank You, Father, in Jesus’ name.

Thought: God’s power is actually working within you for the fulfillment of your dream.
