Today I will begin sharing my favorite HeartWords from the Bible – Verses that have meant a lot to me over the years. I will be numbering these, but with God’s Word I really have no number 100 or 75. Like you I love them all, but I number them for conventions sake. Today is
Favorite HeartWord number 100 – Ephesians 3:20
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurable more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”
What I love about this verse is that in only 22 words, we learn so much about God and prayer and what he does for us.
Read the verse again and you will see six great truths.
1. God is ABLE. “Now unto him who is able…”
2. God is able to do ALL we ask. “Able to do …all we ask.”
3. God is able to do MORE than we ask. “Able to do…more than all we ask.”
4. God is able to do IMMEASURABLE more. “Able to do immeasurable more.”
5. God is able to do not just what we ask, but all we imagine. “All we ask or imagine.”
6. God has all these things at work in us. “According to his power that is at work within us.”
Since the first time I really heard and understand this verse, it has become one of my “go-to” verses. One cannot read and believe this verse and have any doubts about prayer or how much God is willing and able to do for us.
