Immeasurably More

Forty Days of Prayer: August 3-September 11, 2005
by Becky Stephen

Go To Week One: Wednesday, August 3-Tuesday, August 9


"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21

  • Do we really believe that?
  • Can God really do "immeasurably more" than all we ask?
  • Is He truly able to do more than we can even imagine?
  • Is God's power really "at work within us"? In me?
  • Do my prayers demonstrate that I believe that? Does my imagination?
  • Does my life, my lifestyle, my relationships, my work demonstrate that I believe in this kind of power at work in me and in all those who belong to God in Christ?
  • Do I really believe this?
  • Does our North American church?

That's what this forty-day prayer event is about: choosing to actively believe God for MORE than all we ask, for MORE than we imagine, to believe that God's power IS at work in us so that His character and ways can be seen in the Church - and in our church - in this generation.

So if you're ready to ask and imagine, this prayer guide is for you. But get ready - God is going to do more than you ask Him to or even imagine is possible! Do you believe that? By God's power you will!

"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us."

2 Corinthians 5:18-20 (NIV)
