“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works within us.” [Eph. 3:20]
Many years ago I attended a revival where the slogan often repeated was, “More Lord!” This church was not satisfied though they had experienced a genuine revival by all accounts. Those prayerful people kept hungering for more of the Lord and He kept honoring their request with fresh outpourings of His Spirit. I have never seen or experienced anything like it.
Today’s scripture assures us that God is able to do more than we could ask or think. I want Him to do more. More than I can imagine. I want more of Him in my life, in our church, and in our community. I want to see Him do more to clean the church up. I want the Lord to bring more people to repentance and restore them in their walk with Him. I want to see people put away sinful and destructive behaviors that are robbing them of spiritual vitality.
I want to see the hearts of God’s people come alive and be quickened with tenderness toward the things of God. I want to see transformations. I am asking the Lord for more love in the hearts of His people for Him and other people. I also want to see the Lord gloriously save the masses with a salvation that endures.
I want more of the Lord’s power on our worship and my preaching. I want more of the presence of the Lord manifested in our services. I want to see God impact the community through revived believers. I want the glory of the Lord to be promoted by transformed lives. I want to see the morale climate of our community changed. I want to see young men and young women surrendering their lives to full time vocational ministry and missions. I want to see students unashamedly living for Christ in the hallways of their schools and in the locker rooms.
Lord, I want more. Not more for my glory or the fame of my name, but for You alone. More of You and less of me.
