God's Superheroes - Ephesians 3:20-21
"Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever." A superhero is a person who has extraordinary or superhuman powers and is dedicated to protecting the world from evil. In this second prayer of Paul in the letter to the Ephesians, the apostle prays for the spiritual strength of the Ephesian believers (and, consequently, all believers). Paul basically prays that the Ephesian believers will be God's superheroes! Paul prays for the power of God that is already at work in the Ephesian believers by the Holy Spirit Who dwells in them to do extraordinary or superhuman feats! In the same way, pray that God will use you to accomplish feats for Him and His glory beyond anything that you could ask for or think of and don't be surprised if He makes a spiritual Superman or spiritual Wonder Woman out of you!
