Powerful Prayers

 

     As we finally experience the end of a long and snow-filled winter, we sit in the warm and powerful presence of Jesus. As we take time to know Him In our times of private prayer and practice His presence with perpetual prayer, as we trust that Jesus is prayng for our protection and that the Holy Spirit interprets and perfects our prayers we recognize the power we have available to us.

     Prayer moves the hand that moves the world. The following prayer was written by Paul to the church at Ephesus. It is a prayer for you and me, as we see and feel the power and love available to us. Soak it in and believe it on this day.

For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory to the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen Ephesians 3:14-21

Amen!
