MORE THAN WE MIGHT ASK OR THINK

EPHESIANS 3:20

"Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power that is at work within us, to accomplish infinitely MORE THAN WE MIGHT ASK OR THINK!"

Have you ever wondered how God can take someone who is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and through Him accomplish miraculous things? God says that He uses the seemingly foolish of this world to confound the supposedly wise. In fact, God takes the ordinary individuals that have opened their heart to Him and allowed His Holy Spirit to come in and reside, to be His instruments. Who do you suppose the Glory belongs to in these instances? Who is it that is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, more than we could ever ask or think? The children of God!

We need to recognize that it is God, by and through His power, that can work within us if we yield ourselves to Him. God is able to carry out His purposes and do supernatural things if we dare to ask or allow Him to work through us. Think of the highest prayer you could ask the Lord for, some hope or dream that is in your thoughts. What desire is their in your mind that you would like to do for Him? No matter what that thought or dream or desire is, it is not too big for God.

Do you want to start and build the biggest church in America? Do you want to write studies that will help edify believer's? Do you want to teach classes in God's Word. Do you want to write books that will bring the message and the Good News to the world? Do you want to start a ministry to feed the poor and homeless? Do you want to build orphanages throughout the world? Do you want to bring all people together into one body that belongs to Jesus Christ? Ask God to answer your prayers. He will do MORE THAN WE MIGHT ASK OR THINK!
