Turn to Genesis 3:12…
We Play the Blame game When we Blame…

HE IS ABLE
READ WITH ME
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21
We know God’s Word says He is ABLE but what is our part in receiving this promise?
3 practical steps to receive this promise of God.
1st thing we have to do – In Ephesians 3:20 All we have to do is ask we need to….
#1. PRAY
Let’s back it up to Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3:14-20
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
He is ABLE to Answer!
Power of prayer – Paul’s prayer
- they would be strengthened by the Holy Spirit,
- they would be rooted and grounded in love and be able to comprehend what is the width, depth, and height of His love
- It was after his prayer on his knees that he shared NOW to HIM who is ABLE!!!
- He knew God was going to answer and do even more than what he was asking and thinking.
- Being Filled with the fullness of God – This word paints the picture of a ship full of cargo and crew, and a town with no empty houses. It strongly emphasizes fullness and completion.
- When you’re filled with God you know His heart, His love, His will, His power, you believe He is able!
- Us moms, church we need to be filled with God every day to take care of our family
- We need the power of God in our lives
ABLE – combines power and willingness.
2nd thing we have to do is – You have to believe He is able
#2. BELIEVE “ He is Able to heal”
(Testimony)
Matthew 9:28-29 “And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?
Vs29 AMP ” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”” Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith [your trust and confidence in My power and My ability to heal] it will be done to you.”
- Believe – To have full faith and confidence in Jesus. It’s not just in your mind.
- Stand on His promise
- Get rid of doubt and don’t listen to doubting people
- Get in the Word and know His promise – faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God
- Remember His Word even when it doesn’t look like its possible
- Declare and pray His Word- it is His perfect will
- Have faith people pray with you
What are you believing for?
THE PROMISE – Romans 4:20-21 talking about Abraham – , “Yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.”
3rd thing we have to do is…
#3.RECEIVE – Time of Ministry & Altar call
God is faithful and He is able
- God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind.
- We have to let go of the past so we can receive the promises of God.
He is ABLE to save
Hebrews 7:25 says, “Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”
