IMMEASURABLY MORE / EPHESIANS 3:20

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 3:20

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Immeasurably More: Unlocking the Power of Ephesians 3:20

We often treat our prayer lives like a standard grocery list. We ask for what we think we need, hope for the best, and stay within the boundaries of what seems practical. But the Apostle Paul shatters those self-imposed boundaries with a truth that is almost too big to fully process:

“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…” — Ephesians 3:20

Think about that for a second. God is not just capable of meeting your expectations; He is able to do immeasurably more. Your imagination can travel to places your prayers have never even ventured, yet God’s capability reaches infinitely past the absolute absolute limit of your wildest thoughts.

However, this breathtaking promise comes with a vital truth we cannot afford to miss: this promise is conditional.

The Power is Operating Within Us

Paul doesn’t say God will do immeasurably more strictly as an outside force working on our behalf. He explicitly notes that it happens “according to his power that is at work within us.”

The manifestation of this incredible, barrier-breaking power depends directly on the degree of the Holy Spirit’s presence, purpose, and power operating in our daily lives. God’s power is limitless, but our alignment with His Spirit determines how that power flows through us.

When we look across Scripture, we see exactly how this internal spiritual alignment unlocks God’s “immeasurably more” blessings:

Strengthened Inner Being: Prior to this verse, Paul prays that God would strengthen the Ephesians out of His glorious riches with power through His Spirit in their inner being (Ephesians 3:16-19). To experience the fullness of God, our spirits must be rooted and established in His love.
Abiding in the Vine: Jesus made it clear that apart from Him, we can do nothing. But in John 15:7, He promises: “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” Our desires align with His when we closely abide in Him.
God Working in Your Will: As Philippians 2:13 notes, it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose.

Moving Beyond Limited Thinking

Are you limiting what God can do in your life because of your current circumstances? When your limited situation meets God’s unlimited power, everything changes.

Before we even call out to Him, He already knows what we need (Isaiah 65:24). He is simply waiting for us to submit, lay down our limited track of thinking, and yield completely to the Holy Spirit working within us. Stop praying small, safe prayers. Open your heart to the presence of the Holy Spirit, align your purposes with His, and watch Him do what only He can do.

A Closing Prayer for Immeasurable Faith

Heavenly Father,

We come before You in awe of Your greatness. Forgive us for the times we have boxed You into our human logic, praying small prayers and expecting limited outcomes. Today, we declare that You are the God of immeasurably more!

Lord, we yield to Your Holy Spirit today. We ask that You strengthen our inner being with Your power. Let Your presence, purpose, and power take complete control of our hearts. Help us to abide deeply in Jesus, so that our thoughts and desires reflect Your perfect will.

We step out of limited thinking and place our trust entirely in Your unlimited power. Do miracles in our lives, our families, and our churches that surpass anything we could ever ask or imagine. May You receive all the glory throughout every generation.

In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.
