Praying for a Power Surge

Ephesians 3.14-21

What prompts Pauls prayer? (Ephesians 3.1, 14-15)

For this reason (1, 14)

REACH OUT . . . But be doers of the word,
and not hearers only,
deceiving yourselves.

AND TOUCH SOMEONE!

James 1.22
Paul gets distracted by the manifold wisdom of God.

The world has disintegrated into chaos .

Warring and strife is brought to oneness in Jesus this is Gods ultimate plan.

The church is the vehicle through which God works to bring peace .
