Dutch Sheets tells us, “The
power source is not the problem. The rest of Eph. 3:20 gives us a clue.
It
tells us He is going to do this more than more than enough ‘according to the power that works within us.”
The word “measure” is kata
which not only has this implication of that which is measured in us, but Strong
says it is also used at times with the connotation of ‘distribution.’
He (God)is
going to do this superabundantly more than we can ask or think in the measure
of the power that is distributed from us.
Are you distributing power? Are you distributing the river?
Please don’t think you are releasing enough power to accomplish the
miraculous by sporadic or casual praying. You are not!
You must release the power of God inside of you on a consistent basis James 5:16 (KJV) says, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”. (Italics Sheets)

Wuest translate it this way: ‘A prayer of a righteous person is able to
do much as it operates.’
Notice the verse doesn’t say, ‘A prayer of a righteous person is able to do much because it causes God to operate.”

The Amplified captures the
present tense meaning of the verb.
We have the power inside of us that created the world.
We have the same power in us that went into the depths of the earth and took the keys from the kingdom of darkness.

We must release it. Release the river! Release the power! Release it and
release it and release it and release it some more! Again and again and again!”
