3 Mighty Blessings Every Believer Receives Trusting Our Savior
Purpose is The Reason for the Boldness
Strength is The Reason for the Confidence
Access is The Reason for His Presence
Boldly We Come To His Unlimited Resources Ephesians 3:14-15 (NLT): “When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.” The Lord isn’t Limited in Resources. Psalm 24:1 (NLT): “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and its entire people belong to him.” The Lord isn’t Stingy with The Resources Either. 2 Corinthians 9:8 (NLT): “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty leftover to share with others.”
Boldly We Come To A Place of Undeserved Privilege Romans 5:1-2 (NLT): “Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.” Job 22:21 (NLT): “Submit to God, and you will have peace; then things will go well for you.”
Boldly We Come To The Power of Understanding Ephesians 3:17-18 (NLT): “Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.”
Understanding Helps You Make Better Decisions
Understanding Protects You From Trouble

Boldly We Come To Completeness Ephesians 3:19 (NLT): “May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” Completeness: the state or condition of having all the necessary or appropriate parts. Colossians 2:9-10 (NLT): “For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. as…”
We are complete through our union with Christ. We have all the necessary parts, we lack nothing. When Jesus sent out his disciples he told them not to take anything with them Why? To teach them that God would take care of them. Luke 22:35 (NKJV): “And He said to them, ‘When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?’ So they said, “Nothing.” The Apostle Paul said “My God shall supply all your needs according to his glory and riches “THROUGH” Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19. Peter Said “His Divine Power Has Given Us Everything We Need.” 2 Peter 1:3 (NIV). God Said He will take care of all our needs!
In Closing: Boldly We Come To His Mighty Power Ephesians 3:20-21 (NLT): “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.”
