Eph.1:1-14
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ
Jesus: 2 Grace to you and peace from God
our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with
every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in
love, 5 having predestined us to adoption
as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His
will, 6 to the praise of the glory of
His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have redemption through His
blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He
made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us
the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in
Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might
gather together in one all things in Christ, both[a] which are in heaven and
which are on earth—in Him. 11 In Him
also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the
purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12
that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard
the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed,
you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[b] is the guarantee of our inheritance
until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
We must understand through faith and belief there is a God
up above, our Father who rules heaven, earth and all that lies beneath this
earth. He states that without faith it
is impossible to please Him. So we must
take our minds to the next dimension calling those things that aren’t as though
they were releasing heavenly treasures down here on earth before our eyes. We are to encourage ourselves in this
blessing and Word of God but this can only be done in a spirit of love verse 4
illustrates. God has spoken blessings
over His lands that we His children would always be smiling, laughing, dancing
and loving all that comes into our presence. Love is to be operating morning, noon
and night in this kingdom we live in that has been ordained for that very purpose
by God. However, since some are trying
to bless themselves with their own finite thinking calling whatever they choose
to call to fulfill their own fleshly desires coming up short. Our world has become mad and is now calling
other things into existence like bombs, guns, missiles and nuclear war to stomp
out this evil they brought upon themselves hoping to satisfy those childlike
ways and behaviors. So we sadness all
around. Remember God, Jesus and the Holy
Spirit agree as one and your only one.
That’s three against one meaning you can’t win. So obtain your
inheritance by jumping in God’s will and start shouting glory, glory, glory all
the way home to glory.
He loves you, I love you. May love abound all around you.
