For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.—Ephesians 3:14–16
Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, is being very specific about why he is praying. This a specific prayer, and it is to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, so we know it applies to our lives. This is an eternal prayer that carries with it power to impart and activate in whatever era of time it is read and applied. Here, Paul prays for every believer in the Lord Jesus that a specific gift would be released and understood. This gift from the Father is the strengthening of His might by His Spirit in the inner person. And it is measured according to the riches of His glory. When a gift is given, it can only be as good as that which is backing it. I could give you access to my personal checking account to draw out all that you need exactly when you need it. But when my account balance runs out, so does the gift. The gift is only as good as what is backing it. Here Paul says that we can be strengthened by might according to the riches of His glory. In other words, this gift will not run out but will, in fact, increase. What an incredible gift!
It would be like going to the ocean and getting a big bucket of ocean water. Yes, you would have the ocean; yes, the bucket would be full; but what is a bucket compared to the entire ocean? The whole ocean is waiting. In the same way, we can live in perpetual and increasing strength in our inner person according to the riches of His glory.
I believe it is a time we should have great expectation for advancement in mighty ways. As we move forward in this current time, we are going to take new ground. We must stay fresh in the anointing, which will keep us fresh in inner strength, which will keep us strong in the Lord and His mighty power. As we stay fresh in the strength of the Lord by the might of the Holy Spirit, we will maintain high levels of faith, joy, and confidence. This is vital for us as we begin taking new ground.
We must stay strong in faith in this current season, because as we advance in new levels of destiny we will face obstacles. But as we are strengthened by the might of the Holy Spirit, we will rise up against all obstacles, limitations, and fears. The Lord strengthens us and enables us to rise up against unbelievable odds. The fresh oil or dunmanis of the Lord will also empower us have greater faith and to see the impossible become possible!
I declare this over you: You will succeed and have great advancement and progress in your divine destiny in the days ahead!
In the words of Paul:
Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us.— Ephesians 3:20 AMP
