What is the Surpassing Greatness of the Power in Ephesians 1:19?

    I learned this week from my father what escape velocity is. It's the speed it takes for a rocket to escape the earth's gravity and not fall back. After I read  about the surpassing greatness of Christ's power mentioned in chapter 16 of the Life-Study of Ephesians,  I wanted  to check out a few things about rockets.  One site said a rocket has to go 25,000 miles per hour to break out of the earth's gravity. I don't know about you, but I can't fathom that kind of power. 

  Ephesians 1:19 says And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.  Thinking about rocket speeds gives me a little bit more appreciation for what the exceeding greatness of His power means spiritually!  

    And in Ephesians 1:19 Paul focuses on the fact that this power is to us who believe. In the chapter he related this verse  to how the first astronauts had to believe that they had enough power to get them to the moon. I really like these particular excerpts because they tie the surpassing greatness of God's power to our faith:

"The transmission of the fourfold power is to those who believe. What we say is what we believe. If you saw that this power toward us is the power that raised Christ from among the dead, would you still say that you are weak?...Whatever God speaks comes to pass... To have faith is to speak what God speaks" (Lee, Witness, Life-Study of Ephesians, Anaheim: Living Stream Ministry, 1978, Print ).

This week I wanted to listen to Program #16 on LSM radio's program on the Life Study of Ephesians and I liked hearing again that we need to say in faith, "This power is to me!!
