Prayer for Power

Prayer for Power


Ephesians 3:14-19 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

14 For this reason I bow my knees (A) before the Father [a] 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. 16 [I pray] that He may grant you, according to the riches (B) of His glory, (C) to be strengthened with power (D) through His Spirit in the inner man, (E) 17 and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. [I pray that] you, being rooted and firmly established in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and width, height and depth, (F) 19 and to know the Messiah’s love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

The Best Gift: The Holy Spirit

The Best Gift: The Holy Spirit


But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. (Deu 8:18 KJV)


Christmas is coming! What more can we be thankful for? Well, I know one gift that is given to us and it is given to us for free. That is God’s gift! On the day that Jesus died on the cross it was God who displayed His awesome power by raising His son Jesus from the grave. God loved Jesus so much and because Jesus did everything God told him. Jesus didn’t make God, his Father, happy by his own power alone. Even Jesus himself received the gift of the Holy Spirit that he could do God’s will on the earth; and he started right at home with Mom and Dad. God’s gift of the Holy Spirit is part of the many riches that God has. His gifts and riches have no end. Now, His gifts are not the toys we think; though he allows us to get toys and gifts here on earth. He gives us power and strength that we shall not be disobedient in His eyes. That means, to every person we act just like Jesus did by love, compassion, mercy, and obedience. Isn’t that wonderful! When you love Jesus, you love God also , because Jesus was God. God’s gift is a toy that never breaks, it never gets old, and it’s always fun. God’s gift shows how much he loves you and me. We are so precious to him. Since, we are so precious to him; as we are to Dad and Mom. How much more should we love Him like he loves us. Php_4:19 ; Joh_14:21; Joh_14:16-18; Joh_3:16


But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Eph 2:4-10 KJV) Pero Dios, que es rico en misericordia, por causa del gran amor con que nos amó, aun cuando estábamos muertos en nuestros delitos, nos dio vida juntamente con Cristo (por gracia habéis sido salvados), y con El nos resucitó, y con El nos sentó en los lugares celestiales en Cristo Jesús, a fin de poder mostrar en los siglos venideros las sobreabundantes riquezas de su gracia por su bondad para con nosotros en Cristo Jesús. Porque por gracia habéis sido salvados por medio de la fe, y esto no de vosotros, sino que es don de Dios; no por obras, para que nadie se gloríe. Porque somos hechura suya, creados en Cristo Jesús para hacer buenas obras, las cuales Dios preparó de antemano para que anduviéramos en ellas. (Eph 2:4-10 LBLA) Aber Gott, der da reich ist an Barmherzigkeit, durch seine große Liebe, damit er uns geliebt hat, da wir tot waren in den Sünden, hat er uns samt Christo lebendig gemacht (denn aus Gnade seid ihr selig geworden) und hat uns samt ihm auferweckt und samt ihm in das himmlische Wesen gesetzt in Christo Jesu, auf daß er erzeigte in den zukünftigen Zeiten den überschwenglichen Reichtum seiner Gnade durch seine Güte gegen uns in Christo Jesu. Denn aus Gnade seid ihr selig geworden durch den Glauben, und das nicht aus euch: Gottes Gabe ist es, nicht aus den Werken, auf daß sich nicht jemand rühme. Denn wir sind sein Werk, geschaffen in Christo Jesu zu guten Werken, zu welchen Gott uns zuvor bereitet hat, daß wir darin wandeln sollen. (Eph 2:4-10 GLB)
