Ephesians 3: 16-17 (NIVUK)

16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

This prayer of the apostle Paul is not just a description of what can happen, it is an invitation to pray that one aspect of the inheritance of the saints to come alive in you — namely that you would be strengthened in your inner being with power. The Greek word for power is dunamis, it means ability, resources, capability, authority.

When you pray this prayer for yourself, you are praying for empowerment and transformation, you are praying for incarnation, the spirit of Jesus in you… IS Christ in you, the hope of glory!

Tailor your prayer to a specific area you know you are weak in your life and circumstance, remember when you pray specific prayers you get specific answers!

 

You can pray to be strengthened with ability when you don’t think you are able.
You can pray to be strengthened with resources when you don’t have enough.
You can pray to be strengthened with capability when the task is too much.
You can pray to be strengthened with authority when you feel powerless.

This is just some of the fuller understanding of being strengthened with power through his Spirit.

 

Prayer:

 

Father, I pray that out of your glorious riches you would strengthen me with power (ability, resources, capability and authority) through the Holy Spirit in my inner being so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith, Amen.
