“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us," - Ephesians 3:20 KJV

What is the power that worketh in us?

When we have received the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38) the power that worketh within us is the Holy Ghost.

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." - Acts 1:8 KJV

When is it that we ask or think?

We ask and think when we pray.

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." - Philippians 4:6 KJV

The meaning of “supplication” according to Thayer’s Greek Lexicon is, “a seeking, asking, entreating, entreaty…requests addressed by men to God.”

How does the power of the Holy Ghost work in us to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think?

The Holy Ghost works in us when we are praying, as one verse says, “in the Spirit.”  

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" - Ephesians 6:18 KJV

When we are praying in the Spirit - travailing, intercessory prayer - speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives us utterance, we are praying BEYOND what we ask OR think.

"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." - Romans 8:26-27 KJV

Through the Holy Ghost, the power that worketh within us when we pray in the Spirit, Jesus is able to do EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE all we ask OR think!
