What does Paul pray for in Ephesians 3:16?
Paul prays that believers may be able to comprehend. This comprehension is essentially knowledge put into action, a knowledge that goes beyond the three dimensions of height, width, and length into a fourth dimension. The prayer is not only for the Ephesian believers but also for us.
Les teaches that Ephesians 3:16 is a prayer of the Apostle Paul, and it is not only for the Ephesian believers but also for us. The text says, "...that ye may be able to comprehend." Les asks what the difference is between knowledge and comprehending, answers that there is nothing, except maybe putting it into action: if you have knowledge, you can comprehend, and when you comprehend, you have knowledge. He illustrates this with Einstein and a fourth dimension, noting that we normally live in three dimensions, but believers are to enjoy a knowledge that goes into the fourth dimension—not just height, width, and length, but also a fourth one.
