Ephesians 3 v 20 - 21 ,reads,'Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh within us,Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus through out all the ages, world without end. Amen.I want to quote John Stott on these verses. He lays seven stages in relation to these verses.
(1)He is able to do or to work,for He is neither idle,nor inactive,nor dead.
(2) He is able to do what we ask,for He hears and answers prayer.
(3) He is able to do what we ask or think,for He reads our thoughts,and sometimes we imagine things for which we dare not and therefore do not ask.
(4)He is able to do all that we ask or think, for He knows it all and can perform it all.
(5) He is able to do more......than( beyond) all that we ask or think,for His expectations are higher than ours.
(6) He is able to do much more,or more abundantly, than all we ask or think, for He does not give His grace by calculated measure.
(7) He is able to do very much more, far more abundantly, that all we ask or think,for He is a God of super- abundance.
