Here is something I loved learning from my Bible study.  It is something I need to remember often!!!  All in italics and blue color is from Beth Moore's words.  Words in black italics are ones I had filled in the blanks.  Red, of course, is God's Word!  :)

Ephesians 1:19-20

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe (continually learning and believing), according to the working of his mighty power,

Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.

"What specific promise applies to those who continue believing, as stated in verses 19-20?"

We get to see the exceeding greatness of His power to us.

"Write that truth in permanent marker on the wallpaper of your mind.  God exerts incomparable power in the lives of those who continue believing Him.  Nothing on earth compares to the strength God willingly interjects into lives caught in the act of believing.  Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul likens it to the stunning power God exerted when He raised His Son from the dead!

Can you think of any need you might have that would require more strength than God exercised to raise the dead?  Me either.  God can raise marriages from the dead, and He can restore life and purpose to those who have given up.  He can forgive and purify the vilest sinner."

"YOU HAVE NO NEED THAT EXCEEDS HIS POWER."
