More...

adj.more, (môr, mr)
Greater in size, amount, extent, or degree

I don't know about you, but I know that there must be more when it comes to our relationship with God. I am not implying that I am not satisfied, however I am hungry for more.

I want to take you with me as we take a fresh look at one of my personal favorite scriptures. There are several that I would classify as favorites, but Ephesians 3:15-21 definitely finds itself in my personal top ten.

I entitled this more because I believe that is where most of us are in our own walk. You could be a brand-new believer, or you might be a seasoned veteran (whatever that implies.) I have personally found the more I journey in this relationship with God the less, I know, or that I need to know.

My prayer is that as we journey together that the Holy Spirit will fan the flame that is burning in your hearts that is calling out for more. I am reminded of a song that I heard that is sung by the Tehilla Toronto Worship Band entitled “More.” The lyrics remind us that there must be more.

There must be more than this
Oh breath of God come breathe within
There must be more than this
Spirit of God we wait for you.
Fill us anew we pray.
Fill us anew we pray.

Consuming fire fan into flame
A passion for your name
Spirit of God fall in this place
Lord have your way
Lord have your way - with us

Come like a rushing wind
Clothe us with power from on high
Now set the captives free
Leave us abandoned to your praise
Lord let your glory fall
Lord let your glory fall

That is exactly how I feel, and I want to share with several truths that I believe could possibly change your life. When we recognize who we truly are and understand who God really is then we are released into an incredible relationship that will truly see the dreams and desires that are hidden in your heart come into reality.

I believe that there are many truths that we can extract from this passage that allow us to grasp the truth that Paul was praying over the church at Ephesus and can be applied to us today.

My hope and prayer is that you become hungry and expectant about what God is about to do. Something that we may have never experienced. I know that we want to see this happen and quite often we are looking at other people to take our lead from.

I encourage you to stop looking to your left or right but to look up and get ready to experience a spiritual explosion in your own life as you recognize your true worth and value as a co-heir with Christ.

I will leave you with this passage that says it all. Get ready to experience No Limit to what God can do in your life if you will only allow it.

Paul's Prayer for Spiritual Empowering

14 When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit. 17 And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God. 20 Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. 21 May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages. Amen
Eph 3:14-21 (NLT)


Forever ruined by His love,
