Walking in our heavenly calling.

Ephesians is one of my favorite books in the new testament.

Ephesians 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ,

35 times Paul emphases what it means to be in Christ.

Here are just a few.

We have been adopted through Christ.

We are beloved in Christ.

We have an inheritance in Christ.

we are sealed in Christ.

We have hope in Christ

We are made alive in Christ.

We are made alive and raised and seated with Him.

We have life, peace and grace in Christ. (Grace being unmerited favor)

We have access through our faith in Christ.

Beloved, Ephesians was written by Paul to prevent any errors.

We are reminded in Ephesians about the things which are not permitted in the Godly children of God.  (Ephesians 5:3-6, Ephesians 4:29-32)

Paul reminds them and us who we are in Jesus Christ and what we have in Him.

Ephesians 3:14-17 (Is a great example of how to pray for each other)

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,  that He would grant you, according to his riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,  that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;  that you being rooted and grounded in love.

Beloved, if you will study Ephesians you will never question again all that God has given you.

Ephesians teaches us to be thankful for all things, whether we understand what is happening or not, just be thankful, God is on His throne watching for His next move.

Watch how God will bring good out of what seems to be a bad situation.

Satan has an arsenals of deception, and lies.

When something bad happens unexpectedly, he immediately comes with His lies about God's faithfulness.

He wants you to believe that He is bigger than He is. Rebuke him!!

Our God through Christ is all powerful in our lives and we are not orphans, but His beloved.

When we feel weak, that is when we are strong, because it is the Lord's strength in us through the Holy Spirit operating in our life.

2 Corinthians 12:10

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.

All through Ephesians is the phrase, In Him, or in Christ.

In Ephesians Paul tells us to  praise the Father for choosing us, the Son for redeeming us, and the Holy Spirit for sealing us.

Beloved,  study Ephesians and know what you have as a believer and disciple of Jesus Christ.

I pray that you will discover the treasures for your soul. Be content in Christ, and learn who you are and what you have as a believer.

Ephesians 5:1-2

Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.  And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us,  an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

Ephesians 5:8

For you were once darkness, but NOW you are light in the Lord, walk as children of light.

Ephesians 3:20

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

Beloved, that power is the Holy Spirit in you.

Where faith is developed and used in others lives.

Enjoy all you have in Jesus Christ our Lord.  Walk in your heavenly calling.  Fulfill your destiny.


God Bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
