"Far More Than All We Can Ask or Imagine" 12-29-08

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Good morning, my Father God. Good morning, Holy Spirit. I welcome every Dimension of Your Being into every dimension of my being, that as far as Your grace will go, I "may be filled with all the fullness of God" (Ephesians 3:19). … "For this reason I bow my knees before, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of His glory, He may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through His Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of God that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God" (Ephesians 3:14-19). Until I am "filled with all the fullness of God," there is more. Until I am "filled with all the fullness of God," I have not arrived, I have not fully thrived, I have not reached the depths of surrender nor the heights of spiritual maturity You desire. There is more. According to Your Word, inerrant and true, You want to strengthen me in my spirit with Your power through Your Spirit. You want to fully dwell in my heart through faith. You want to firmly forever establish me in the certainty and security of Your unfathomable love for me. Growing in the knowledge of this love is the power that strengthens me and encourages me to keep pressing on and pressing in for more of You filling more of me every day. The power of this love is deeper, higher, wider, and longer than I will ever be able to fully comprehend, but not beyond my capacity to fully embrace, according to the faith-filled expectation of Paul's prophetic prayer for the Ephesians and for me. Lord, let Your Word keeping sinking in more deeply than ever before. Let the hope and faith of Your promise keeping rising up more higher than ever before. Don't let me ever let me become satisfied or stagnant, but always hungry for more -- more of this love, more of this power, more of this knowledge of Your heart and Your will for me. This is the cry of my heart as I prepare to enter into this new year. "Now to Him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever" (Ephesians 3:20-21). In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays Friends, I pray your heart will hunger and thirst for more of God dwelling in you as you prepare to enter into this new year.
