Even as a small child trusts his parents, so I trust my heavenly Father. In the matter of power, Paul—neither here nor anywhere else—ever prays for power.
The New Testament never talks about a new infilling or another Pentecost, even if the conventional speakers do.
He prayed only that “the eyes of [their] understanding [be] enlightened”—that is, to see what resources lay at their very fingertips!
We pray for power when Christ has all power: and that is all that matters. It follows that as we obey His command, He will back us without our having to spend half our time begging Him to do so.
The power breakthrough for the Ephesians was a faith breakthrough in realization of what was theirs already in Christ.
