The Ephesians 3:20
Key to Seeing Your Impossible Prayer Answered
.
God's promises, like a rainbow, arc over our lives from the beginning to the end. All of them belong to God's people: those who have a new nature now, those referred to biblically as "children of promise" and "heirs of promise." They are so diverse in nature, believers never face any negative situation without a suitable promise empowering them to overcome.
.
Go ahead, imagine what God could do in your life, what answers He
could send to your prayers. Then, bump it up several notches beyond what you
even think possible. Let your faith rest there — on the exceptional, the
extraordinary, the supernatural — realizing this promise is dependent on the
"power that works in us." The power of faith. The power of positive
confessions. The power of thanksgiving and praise. Try stretching your faith
that high today.

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly
abundantly beyond all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that works
in us." - Ephesians 3:20
All of them belong to God's people: those
who have a new nature now, those referred to biblically as "children of promise" and "heirs of promise" (Galatians 4:28, Hebrews 6:17).
God's promises, like a rainbow, arc over
our lives from the beginning to the end.
They are so diverse in nature, believers
never face any negative situation without a suitable promise empowering them to
overcome.
One of the most
amazing promises is Ephesians 3:20: "Now
to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or
imagine, according to the power that works in us."
"Exceedingly" means "to an
unusual degree."
"Abundantly" means
"generously" or "lavishly."
"Beyond" means
"surpassing all limitations."
Just one of these words should be
sufficient to put a smile on our faces.
Go ahead, imagine what God could do in your
life, what answers He could send to your prayers.
Then, bump it up several notches beyond
what you even think possible.
Let your faith rest there — on the
exceptional, the extraordinary, the supernatural — realizing this promise is
dependent on the "power that works
in us."
What "power"?
The power of faith.
The power of positive confessions.
The power of thanksgiving and praise.
Right after I found the Lord, I was very
focused on winning my whole family.
One of my favorite uncles lived in Baraboo,
Wisconsin (a small rural community on the way to the Wisconsin Dells).
I often prayed, "God, please send a born-again believer
to Uncle Dick to share the gospel with him."
Then, my voice would trail off, with
echoing negative thoughts such as There aren't any born-again believers in
Baraboo.
My doubts kept fighting my faith.
Finally, I decided to take things into my
own hands and drive up to Wisconsin from Tennessee.
God must have been smiling the entire two
days I spent on the road.
Because shortly before I arrived, a bus carrying about 25 believers on their way to a retreat broke down — guess where? — in Baraboo, of course.
That's not all. It was my uncle's
son-in-law who compassionately stopped and offered to help.
Since they had no money for a motel, my
gracious uncle and his son-in-law (who lived next door) let them sleep on their
couches and the floors of their trailers.
Then, as they were leaving, I showed up
(feeling almost useless after I heard what God had done).
Many times, since that day, the thought has
surfaced in my heart: If the Almighty God could do that when I doubted, what
can He do when I believe?
Try stretching your faith that high today.
