Eph 3:20 What does it mean that God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us?
Eph 3:20 What does it mean that God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us?
This teaches that there are no limitations on what God will do for us. Exceeding abundantly means super abundantly above and beyond the greatest abundance that we may ask or even think (CP Jn 14:12-14; 2Pe 1:4).
According to the power that worketh in us refers to our yieldedness to the Holy Spirit.
God is able to do for us and answer our prayers according to the richness of the outworking of the Holy Spirit in our lives, so it is we ourselves who determine what God is able to do for us.
There is no limit to what God can do in and through us, but we limit Him by the degree of our yieldedness to the Holy Spirit (CP Jn 15:7; 1Cor 15:10; Eph 1:19, 3:16-19; Php 2:13; Col 1:29).
