PROMISE #113 - APRIL 23
Promise #113:
I will give you power to know the vastness of My immeasurable love.
Ephesians 3:17-19 (WEB)
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you,
being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints
what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know Christ’s love
which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Today's promise is part of the remarkable prayer that the Apostle Paul offers for the church in Ephesus, found in Ephesians 3:14-21. In this prayer, Paul articulates his requests to the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named (verses 14 and 15), so that He may strengthen our inner being through the power of His Holy Spirit.
The purpose of this prayer is for the Holy Spirit to root us deeply in God's love, enabling us to grasp the vastness of His immeasurable love, which has been given to us through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The love God has for us cannot be understood in any other way. It is far too profound for us to fully grasp with our human minds. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to make God's love a reality for us. In Romans 5:5, Paul states that God has poured His love into our hearts through His Spirit.
My prayer today is that each of us experiences a deep love encounter with God through the personal work of His Holy Spirit. I pray that the Spirit of God will empower us to comprehend how deep, wide, long, and high His love is for us, and that we will be filled to the fullest measure of God's overflowing love, which is everlasting and unending!

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for giving me your precious Holy Spirit so that I might be filled to the full measure of your fullness on an ongoing basis. So today, with childlike faith, I ask you to expand my love tank with a greater impartation of your immeasurable love than I have ever known. I open my heart to you, Holy Spirit, and ask that you expand the boundaries of my heart so that I can grasp how much I am loved and accepted in the Beloved.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
I will give you power to know the vastness of My immeasurable love.
