According to the Power Within

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"   Ephesians 3:20   NKJV

This is one powerful verse, one in which we need to live by each day. Whatever we ask or think, God is able to do and even more. This is our God, the One who created the world and everything in it. The one who parted the Red Sea and the River Jordan to allow the Israelites to cross safely. The God who shut the lion's mouth's when Daniel was imprisoned there and, the one who joined the three young men in the fiery furnace. The one who opens blind eyes, raises the dead and walks on water. And the God who offers us eternal life through Jesus Christ. He can do more than your wildest dreams, in fact, you could never outdream Him.

David Guzik adds to this:

You can ask for every good thing you have ever experienced – God can do above that.

You can think of or imagine things beyond your experience – God can do above that. You can imagine good things that are beyond your ability to name – God can do above that.
According to the power that works in us: God is able to do this in our life now, not beginning with heaven. This power… works in us now.

The things Paul prayed for in the previous verses (spiritual strength, the indwelling Jesus, experiential knowledge of God’s love, and the fullness of God) belong to us as children of God. However, they must be received by believing prayer and can be furthered in the lives of others by our prayers for them.'    Enduring Word. -  David Guzik

According to the power that works within us. Tony Evans comments further: 

'God's power works in accordance with a believer's Spiritual strength, intimacy and capacity.' 

There must be a connection between us and the Holy Spirit. When we or the church are in sync with Jesus, there is a connection that is always overflowing - gushing out the power of God. But we must make that connection by being in connection with Him. This gives us that Spiritual strength, intimacy and capacity. We need the connection to watch the TV, start a car engine or charge your 'phone, in the same way, you need a connection to the Holy Spirit to receive His power.

When we live in such a way, we can walk in confidence that God's power is in us and that lives will be changed as we meet them; people will be healed and demons will flee. 

So get connected to the Holy Spirit and do God's business.
