We continue to look at Ephesians 3 v 20 ,and John Stott's comments,he writes on the words ,'according to the power that worketh in us'. 'The infinite ability of God to work beyond our prayers,thoughts and dreams is by the power at work within us, within us individually( Christ dwelling in our hearts by faith) and within us as a people (who are the dwelling place of God by His Sprit) It is the power of the resurrection, the power which raised Christ from the dead, enthroned Him in the heavenlies, and then raised and enthroned us there with Him. That is the power which is at work within the Christian church. Because of this power there are no limits to what God can do. The power comes from Him; the glory must go to Him'.
'More powerful than all the dark and mighty powers
let loose in the world, more powerful that anything
else, is the power of prayer set ablaze by the fire of
God and cast upon the earth.'
(Torrance)
