Praying for Power
Ephesians 3: 14 - 21, James 4: 2, Matthew 21:22
Why do we need power?
What do we need strength for?
Paul prays:
- For the inner man to have spiritual strength
- For A deeper experience with Jesus
- That they would be enabled to understand God's great love
- That they would be filled with God's fullness.
- Paul prays for them to experience God's love
- Paul is praying for their spiritual needs. If we handle the spiritual then all the physical will be met. God is most concerned with our spiritual needs.
- Can we really have the fullness of God?
- We can never fully comprehend it but we can know more each day.
- We must strengthen the inner man through prayer, bible study, and worship.
- God has unlimited resources.
- Do I pray for spiritual strength for myself, my spouse, my friends, etc...
- What evidence is there that the inner man is being strengthened?
- Get on your knees before God. We will do this for eternity.
