Ephesians 1:15-23

This passage describes the great power of God that is available to you. It is not simply a description of God's great power. It's a description of the great power that is available to you!

Most people agree that God has great power. However, few notice that this exceedingly great power is toward us who believe (v. 19)! It is not just great power, but great power toward you, available to you. According to this passage, God wants you to have a revelation of that. When you see this, you will realize that God's tremendous healing power is available to you right now.

The power of God lifted Christ up high above every name that is named. Diseases have names. AIDS, Alzheimer's, cancer, cystic fibrosis, flu, heart disease, leukemia, malaria, multiple sclerosis, pneumonia... the list goes on. These names are named daily in hospitals all over the world. But the power that God is willing to exercise toward you is the power that lifted up Christ above every name that is named, including the ones named above. And if Jesus is above them, so are you, because God has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:6). Think about that.


If he is above them, so are you, because you are seated with him. Of course, you walk the earth in your physical body, but as far as your authority goes, you rule and reign with Christ NOW!

All things are under his feet. Where are his feet? On the earth, because that is where his body is! Are your feet attached to your head? No. They are attached to your body. All things are under his feet, which puts them under the Body of Christ. Every sickness that is named is under the Body of Christ. You have authority over sickness, and God will back that authority, once used, with his great power that was sufficient to raise Jesus Christ from the dead and put all things under his feet.


Ephesians 3:20

We should know that God can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. But do you realize how he is going to do it? According to the power that works in you! God's power is at work it you! You should acknowledge this and expect his power to work in your body. The power does not have to fall on you from the sky. God and his miracle-working power live inside you.
