The Prayers of Ephesians
by E.W. Bullinger
There are two longer prayers recorded in the Epistle to the Ephesians, plus a short concluding prayer. They are not merely human compositions, but rather “the Divine breathings and groanings of the Holy Spirit” says the author. As such they are inexhaustible in their fullness and depth.
Many of us struggle with prayer. This is because we know neither the height of the Father's power and love, nor the depth of our own need. So here we are prayed for.
The two longer prayers are recorded in Ephesians 1:15-23, and 3:14-2l. While these two prayers are in every way different and distinct, and are full of contrast, yet there is one subject that is common to both: namely Christ Jesus, our Saviour, Head and Lord.
In the former prayer the subject is Christ, and what God has made Him to be unto His people. In the latter prayer it is Christ, and what God has made us to be in Him. In the former it is - we in Christ. In the latter it is - Christ in us. In the former it is God's power which He wrought in Christ: in the latter it is the Father's power that works in us.
All Christians, of whatever persuasion, will be greatly blessed by reading this publication and by meditating upon The Prayers of Ephesians. This is Bullinger at his best. A wonderful exposition.

E.W. Bullinger (1837 - 1913)
was an Anglican clergyman, Biblical scholar, and ultradispensationalist theologian. In the spring of 1867, Bullinger became clerical secretary of the Trinitarian Bible Society, a position he would hold till his death in 1913. Bullinger was editor of a monthly journal Things to Come subtitled A Journal of Biblical Literature, with Special Reference to Prophetic Truth. The Official Organ of Prophetic Conferences for over 20 years (1894–1915) and contributed many articles.E.W. Bullinger was noted broadly for three works: A Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament (1877); for his ground-breaking and exhaustive work on Figures of Speech Used in the Bible (1898); and as the primary editor of The Companion Bible (published in 6 parts, beginning in 1909; the entire annotated Bible was published posthumously in 1922). These works and many others remain in print (2004).
Ethelbert William Bullinger was born on December 15 in Canterbury, England. He was a direct descendent of the great Swiss Reformer Johann Heinrich Bullinger, a covenant theologian, who succeeded Zwingli in Zurich in December of 1531.
Bullinger was educated at King's College, London. He was a recognized scholar in the field of biblical languages. The Archbishop of Canterbury granted him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree in 1881 in recognition of his biblical scholarship.
Dr. Bullinger believed in and taught the pretribulation, premillennial rapture. He is also considered an untradispensationalist because he taught that the gospels and Acts were under the dispensation of law, with the church actually beginning at Paul's ministry after Acts 28:28.
Dr. Bullinger died on June 6, 1913, in London, England, leaving behind a legacy of works to help in the study of God's Word.
