Do You Believe?

"Do You Believe?"
Scripture Reading:
Ephesians 3:20 
Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think—according to the power that works in you—


Devotional Reading:
That is probably one of the most powerful promises in the word of God. While most people know that scripture, so few actually will accept it as their personal promise given to them from God himself. You may be thinking: “I believe that!” Then the question is, do you believe it enough to confess it and to live with hopeful expectation?  God is able to answer our prayers but He wants to do for us exceedingly above all we can even imagine! He wants to answer us not according to our puny requests, but according to His riches and might.  The Bible tells us He is inclined to answer us with abundance: “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over”. “But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit”. “By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”.


We like to call the Lord “our King” but do we pray large prayers worthy of our King’s greatness? A king is obligated to care for his subjects, and his people honor him by asking largely, believing he has all they need and will provide it abundantly. There is absolutely no way you can call God “king” and then accuse Him of letting one of His subjects continue in need!

Keep the Son in your eyes,

Galatians 2:20
