For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of 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 by his Spirit in the inner man (Ephesians 3:14-16).

Notice the 16th verse; Paul prays that God would “… grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.” He wants you gloriously strengthened on the inside.
Why does God want you strengthened from within? Why does He want to make you strong on the inside? It’s against what’s on the outside! Remember what He said in 1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” The focus is on who’s inside you and the power at work in you. He’s talking about you being supernaturally strengthened on the inside by His miracle-working ability.
Consider the example of John the Baptist, whom the scripture says was filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother’s womb, unlike any other prophet. Luke 1:80 tells us, “And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit….” This is definitely not a description of the outward man but of the inner man. And because of the life John the Baptist was going to live, the forces he was going to encounter, and the ministry God had given him, he needed to be made strong in spirit.
It’s the same today; this prayer of the Spirit is evidently the will of the Father for us, because it’s the inspired prayer for the Church such that none of us should be weak, fearful or timid. No! Irrespective of your physical frame, you’re strong inside. This is God’s desire, dream, and plan for you. Therefore, every so often, declare, “I’m
gloriously strengthened and constantly invigorated by the Holy Spirit who dwells in me. He gives me supernatural power, the miracle-working ability to do all things; there’s no weakness in me.” Make this your habitual confession and see the magnitude of what will happen in your spirit, life and circumstances.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: Dear Father, thank you for granting me, according to the riches of your glory, to be strengthened with might by your Spirit in my inner man. I am empowered to face every challenge, fulfil my divine calling and walk in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel. Your glorious strength works mightily in me, and I am victorious always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
